* ExecutiveMeddling: The Bugs Bunny short "The Heckling Hare," originally contained an OverlyLongGag of Bugs Bunny and Willoughby the dog falling off three cliffs. No one knows exactly why the second and third falls was cut. Some sources say it was to censor Bugs' line, "Hold on to your hats, folks! Here we go again!", which was, at the time, the punchline to an obscene joke. Others say that Leon Schlesinger did not want audience members to think that they killed off Bugs Bunny.

Added DiffLines:

** As mentioned on the documentary on the second Tex Avery Blu-ray set, he also suffered creative burnout; towards the end of his MGM run, he remarked that he had done every gag every way it could be done, and didn't know how much longer he could stay fresh.

* ExecutiveMeddling: Avery left Warner Bros. for MGM after Leon Schlesinger forced him to cut the ending of the Bugs Bunny short "The Heckling Hare," which contained an OverlyLongGag of Bugs Bunny and Willoughby the dog falling off cliffs. No one knows exactly why the second fall was cut. Some sources say it was to censor Bugs' line, "Hold on to your hats, folks! Here we go again!", which was, at the time, the punchline to an obscene joke. Others say that Leon Schlesinger did not want audience members to think that they killed off Bugs Bunny.
