Fat Elmer's getting gold!

This one had Elmer as his chubbiest in this one. Elmer was funny in almost every scene he was paired with Bugs. My favorite scene in this was either when Elmer in the hole and he says "Here I am." with only his droopy eyes shown in the darkness or when Bugs cuts Elmer's bottoms off, whistles, and then Elmer's line, "Don't waugh. I bet pwenty of you men wear wone of these."
