This Is What Happens When You Stuff a Shotgun with a Carrot like Bugs Bunny
It’s the oldest trick in Bugs Bunny’s playbook. Stuff a carrot in Elmer Fudd’s shotgun so that it blows up in his face. But what would really happen if you jammed a carrot in the barrel of a shotgun? You are about to find out, as Demolition Ranch answers this age old question.
Could this trick have saved Bugs Bunny’s life in real life? The answer is surprising. The carrot doesn’t stop the shotgun slug at all. It still shoots fine and destroys the turkey which is standing in for Bugs, however it really does destroys the barrel of the gun.
So Bugs gets an A for thinking outside of the box, but he would be dead. But he would be praised as a hero, saving other bunnies from the wrath of Elmer Fudd’s boomstick.

15 Cartoon Characters Looking Their Real Age
Cartoon characters like Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse are ageless, timeless, forever young. However, imagining them looking like their real age (according to the year they were created in) results in some interesting, maybe even disturbing imagery.
Bugs & Lola Bunny
This isn’t completely accurate. Bugs Bunny has been around since the 30’s, but Lola Bunny was only introduced in 1996 for the movie Space Jam. But it’s kinda cool thinking about them as an old couple.
Goofy
Daffy Duck
It’s hard to think of a cartoon character that is a better fit to the ‘Grumpy old man’ persona quite like Daffy.
Porky Pig
Rocking it Jack Nicholson style.
Daisy Duck
Tom & Jerry
At some point, you get too old to keep running around.
Donald Duck
Never imagined him as a smoker.
Tweety & Sylvester
Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote
MIckey & Minnie
She probably went to a really good plastic surgeon.
This is all from the mind of Andrew Tarusov, a wonderful artist who you can support by pledging or simply buying his awesome stuff.
Happy 75th Birthday, Bugs Bunny!
One of most favorite cartoon characters, Bugs Bunny is celebrating its 75th anniversary today.Bugs Bunny was first sketched in April 1939 but the cartoon made its first official onscreen appearance...
Mixed up Mickey Mouse
Who’s the leader of the club that’s made for you and me? M-I-C-K-E-Y-M-O-U-S-E! But did you know that when Mickey Mouse isn’t leading the Mouseketeers, he’s going through life masquerading as other animated characters? At least that’s what I’ve been led to believe by these amusing Mickey mashups by artist Nicholas “Harshness” Hyde.
The series envisions Mickey assuming the form of other iconic characters, including Sonic the Hedgehog, Papa Smurf, Snoopy, Bugs Bunny and Garfield the cat. My personal fave is Pikachu, so that’s why he got the big hero image above.
They’re available as prints from Harshness’ Etsy shop, though they’re a little tricky to find – but it’s not like there aren’t plenty of other cool designs to keep you occupied over there while you poke around.
