Bugs Bunny is the star of the Looney Tunes world. He is a rabbit, if you couldn't tell, which you probably can't.

[edit] Origin
Bugs's first cartoon appeared in 1940, entitled "A Wild Hare." He was created by Tex Avery and was voiced by Mel Blanc.
[edit] Personality
Bugs is often seen beating little kids up for their lunch money more than is usual for a rabbit. He is very charismatic and smart, which gives him an advantage over his enemies. He is also known for his great catch phrase, "I don't have a catch phrase, you maroon". Wow. What a sarcastic rabbit.
[edit] Arguing
Bugs Bunny has also become known for his unique way of dancing. If he disagrees with a certain person, he will start yelling out something like "Cheese does not make you constipated!", to which the other person will respond with a different answer, such as "What the-OW!" They continue to do this, until Bugs suddenly switches the argument by saying the other person's answer, or in other words, saying, "No!" The other person does not realize what just happened and naturally say, in this case, "Yes!" This continues until Bugs finally agrees with the other person, acting melancholy for losing the fight. The other person does not realize they have been tricked until it's too late.
In one such occasion, Bugs and Daffy Duck were arguing beside Elmer Fudd, who was trying to decide whether it was duck or rabbit season, and who he should shoot. Bugs would say, "Duck season!" while Daffy would say, "Rabbit season!" Eventually, Bugs would change his response to "Rabbit season!" to which Daffy unconsciously responded "Duck season! Fire!" Elmer proceeded to shoot Daffy. What I want to know is, why would Bugs Bunny encourage someone to shoot another person? He must be a sociopath.
[edit] Rivalry
When Bugs made his appearance, he promptly replaced Daffy Duck as the most popular Warner Bros. character. Daffy, jealous of his cartoon counterpart's ascension to fame, has on many occasions attempted to dethrone the rabbit. But he has never truly succeeded, always being outsmarted by the clever hare.
[edit] Bugs today
Today, Bugs Bunny remains the king of the Warners' creations. He has made appearances in several movies, including Looney Tunes: Back in Action in 2003 and Space Jam in 1996. He was also featured on Tiny Toon Adventures as the principal and a teacher at Acme Looniversity, and also made occasional cameos on Animaniacs and Histeria!
Bugs is so popular that when Disney/Amblin wanted to "borrow" him for the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Warner Brothers demanded equal time for him along with Disney's Main character, Mickey Mouse. The two appeared on screen together and had the same number of lines.
