Bugs Bunny Or Mr. Potato Head?

“What’s up Doc?” Bugs Bunny’s phrase has been around since 1940. It’s Bugs Bunny Day and here are a few more facts about the “wascally wabbit”!

• Mel Blanc actually ate carrots while voicing the iconic character.
• Bugs Bunny was originally “Happy Rabbit”. He also used to be white instead of gray and they alternated between giving him huge buck teeth and no teeth at all.
• Bugs Bunny, along with Mickey Mouse, were the first two animals to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
• Charlie Chaplin inspired Bugs Bunny’s personality.
• As of Jan. 2013, he has appeared in more films than any other cartoon character. More than 175 films, to be exact.
• Bugs’ nonchalant, carrot-eating manner was inspired by a scene in It Happened One Night, when the fast-talking Clark Gable snacks on carrots while leaning on a fence. The character also took inspiration from Groucho Marx.
