Bugs Bunny

Bugs Bunny is the mascot of the Warner Bros. company, and the main protagonist in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoon series.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He is one of the most iconic cartoon characters ever created apart from characters such as SpongeBob SquarePants, Super Mario, Bob the Builder, Pikachu from Pokémon, Hello Kitty, Winnie the Pooh, Homer Simpson from The Simpsons, Sonic the Hedgehog, Thomas the Tank Engine and Tom and Jerry. He is also possibly one of the most famous fictional characters out there. He is even popular enough to rival Mickey Mouse and in terms of popularity, and surpassed the popularity of every other classic cartoon character produced in the 1940s and 1950s.
 * 2) He is a comedic karmic trickster who usually has a specific revenge term, and doesn't try to push things too far (unlike a certain brown mouse who has).
 * 3) Speaking of which, he may seem incredibly lucky and flawless on the surface, he has had his moments of showing how comically flawed or at times vulnerable he can be for viewers to find him likable and interesting enough to be someone the audience can root for or to sympathize with as well.
 * 4) His famous catchphrases such as "What's up doc?", "Ain't I a stinker" and "Of course you realize, this means war" never get old, and are classic favorites.
 * 5) He can easily entertain viewers with his cartoon antics, and fourth-wall awareness, but then again, it's a typical cartoon thing.
 * 6) He is greatly voiced by Mel Blanc and many more.
 * 7) He has spawned several memes such as Big Chungus and King Bugs.
 * 8) He even has his own shows; The Bugs Bunny Show and Wabbit (a.k.a. New Looney Tunes (Season 1))
 * 9) He became the spokesperson for many products such as Kool-Aid, Post Cereal, and Tang.
 * 10) His design is drawn smoothly with nice outlines.
 * 11) Similar to how Mickey Mouse is the face and mascot Disney, he is even the face and mascot of Warner Bros. Entertainment, having appeared regularly on the Warner Bros. company logos multiple times.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He was kinda racist in some earlier pre-1948 shorts, like "All This and Rabbit Stew" and "Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips".
 * 2) And like other characters, he has also suffered from mild flanderization like they usually have.
 * 3) He kind of acted like a bully to Elmer Fudd on some early cartoons like Wabbit Twouble, Elmer's Pet Rabbit, The Wabbit Who Came to Supper and The Wacky Wabbit but fortunately, Chuck Jones improved his character on Hold the Lion, Please where he made a rule that Bugs Bunny should only fight against characters who are mean to him or start the conflict.
 * 4) * Speaking of which, in Tortoise Beats Hare (his first pairing with Cecil Turtle), he kind of acted like a bully to Cecil Turtle and arrogantly challenges him to a race under a $10 bet, all because of this petty reason that he got enraged over the "Tortoise Beats Hare" title card, but at least he got what's coming to him when he lost the race and the $10 bet to Cecil Turtle despite the turtle cheating in the race with his lookalike cousins. Thankfully this was fixed in subsequent Bugs VS Cecil pairings produced since Chuck Jones' Hold the Lion, Please by making Bugs' rivalry with Cecil more sympathetic (albeit at the cost of making Cecil a despicable cheater and Bugs coming off as a Butt-Monkey who always loses unfairly to Cecil in the end).
 * 5) *In The Iceman Ducketh, while nowhere as bad as Daffy in that episode, he comes across as bland and keeps humiliating Daffy in numerous scenes, though justified because of Daffy wanting to kill Bugs for fur.

Trivia

 * He was the second cartoon character to win a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. (after Mickey Mouse) (The 1818th star to be exact. On December 10, 1985.) Everyone loves his short films especially Looney Tunes, and he has been entertaining audiences since the 30s and he is still iconic to this day!
 * He was created by Ben Hardaway (The man behind Woody Woodpecker) in 1938 for "Porky's Hare Hunt" and "Hare-Um Scare-Um" and was named after his middle name, Bugs. But it wouldn’t be until Tex Avery made me who he is today in 1940 on the Academy Award nominated short "A Wild Hare", and directors such as Chuck Jones, Bob Clampett, and Friz Freleng helped develop his personality.
