We're The Boys In The Chorus

Can't get enough of those Bugs Bunny cartoons.

This one, called "What's Up Doc" has the same cliches that every celebrity insider interview has -- not much has changed in 50 years.

Bugs is lounging by the pool in Hollywood as the gossip columnist calls to interview him. He starts with his parents spotting early acting talent in their baby bunny. Then he goes through the whole bit of trying to break out of the chorusline. Even the tantrum throwing as he finally gives up and swears, "I'm not performing again until I get the right part," and he walks off the set.

Soon he's starving and trying to get any work at all. A starving out-of-work rabbit looks pretty pathetic.

Finally he teams with Elmer J. Fudd (for some reason my son calls him E.J. Fudd, like they are old pals) and they hit the vaudeville circuit (see steamer trunks with Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago stickers glued on) and accidentally stumble on the tagline "What's Up, Doc?" which drives crowds wild. They don't even know why it works, but they certainly know that it DOES work for some reason.

I won't tell you the end ... but if you know anything about show biz ... what goes up, must come down.
