** Wile E. has a good line about the predicament that Bugs is in when Bugs is tied up at Wile E.'s lair later:
-->'''Wile E.:''' You're staying for lunch, all right-- you ''are'' lunch.

* HollywoodMagnetism: For his final attempt to catch Bugs, Wile E. constructs a giant electric magnet with 10,000,000,000 volts. However, since it has such an insane amount of volts, it ends up attracting a lot of junk, ranging from the small iron carrot; Bugs' mailbox, iron, frying pan, trash can, steel mallet, cast-iron stove, and bed; a variety of manmade metal objects, a bulldozer, a bus, an ocean liner, the Eiffel Tower, various bits of space junk from outer space, and finally to a ginormous rocket that lodges itself in Wile E.'s cave and blows up.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Wile E. never considers the possibility of Bugs ''faking'' eating the iron carrot. He flips on the 10 Billion-Volt Magnet, which attracts ''everything'' but Bugs.


Added DiffLines:

* GoneHorriblyRight: The 10 Billion-Volt Electric Magnet actually works, except it pulls every single metal object from all over the world (and from space!) within Wile E's cave. Among them a rocket, which explodes. Also doubles as GoneHorriblyWrong, since it was supposed to catch Bugs (who didn't eat the Iron Carrot).

* DidntSeeThatComing: Bugs is able to work around the cannon, thanks to a makeshift pipe network that simply sends the cannonball back up to Wile E.'s home at the top of the hill. The cannonball promptly comes down the hill, leaving Wile E. to question how this is possible before getting hit in the head.

* WetCementGag: Wile E. tries to encase Bugs in wet cement by dumping a wheelbarrow of said cement into the latter's hole, but as he tiptoes off laughing about it ("What a wonderful way to ''[[{{Pun}}cement]]'' a friendship!"), Bugs pushes the now-hardened cement, which is shaped like a cylinder, above another hole, causing Wile E. to smack into it. He then slides down and the cement falls over with him still on it.

'''Compressed Hare''' is a 1961 ''WesternAnimation/MerrieMelodies'' cartoon directed by Creator/ChuckJones, starring WesternAnimation/BugsBunny in his fifth outing with [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner Wile E. Coyote]].

Bugs Bunny's neighbor, Wile E. Coyote, calls the former over through a telephone while he is showering so that he can borrow a cup of carrots for his stew. Bugs then finishes his bath and comes over to his neighbor's cave with the promised cup of carrots, but as soon as he glimpses at Wile E.'s mailbox, he mocks him as he knocks on the door and is promptly captured.

Inside, Wile E. ties his leporid neighbor to a stake and goes to select a bottle of wine. However, Bugs manages to escape by triggering a Rube Goldberg-esque chain of events that culminates in Wile E.'s Murphy bed driving him into the floor, and as soon as the rabbit makes his getaway, the Coyote makes new unsuccessful attempts to subdue Bugs, like a vacuum cleaner, a cannon, quick-drying cement and a massive 10 billion-volt electric magnet as well as an iron carrot.

!!Tropes:
* AcmeProducts: Wile E. tries to fool Bugs with an ACME Iron Carrot in his scheme to capture him with the 10 billion-volt electric magnet.
-->'''Wile E. Coyote:''' By George, Wile E., you've done it this time. You genius, you.
* BoundAndGagged: Well, minus the "gagged" part. Wile E. restrains Bugs to a stake after capturing him at the start of the short. Bugs is still able to jump while in his tied-up state, though.
* CasualDangerDialog: Bugs blithely chats with Wile E. even as the Coyote is tying him up inside his cave.
* DisasterDominoes: After sending a wine cork into Wile E.'s eye with a jump on a floorboard, Bugs jumps on the same floorboard again to shoot another cork out. Wile E. manages to dodge that one, but now has to watch as it causes his ironing board to open, the iron to slide on it and fall on the pedal of his trash bin to open the lid and launch the cork onto a MouseTrap, which launches the bait onto a spoon in a saucepan, propelling a pea in the spoon which triggers a switch causing Wile E.'s Murphy bed to open and drive its owner into the floor.
* EyeScream: While tied to a stake, Bugs jumps on a floorboard which triggers a cork from one of Wile E.'s wine bottles to pop out and fly into his right eye.
-->'''Wile E. Coyote:''' (removes the cork from his eye) Now look here, me bucko!
* ForciblyFormedPhysique: Bugs' mailbox is the second thing to be caught by the electric magnet, but not before it flies into Wile E.'s face and deforms it into its shape.
* HammeredIntoTheGround: Happens to poor Wile E. when his Murphy bed opens right on top of him.
* HollywoodMagnetism: For his final attempt to catch Bugs, Wile E. constructs a giant electric magnet with 10,000,000,000 volts. However, since it has such an insane amount of volts, it ends up attracting a lot of junk, ranging from the small iron carrot to a ginormous rocket that lodges itself in Wile E.'s cave and bows up.
-->'''Bugs Bunny:''' One thing's for sure, we're the first country to get a coyote into orbit.
* MurphysBed: Wile E.'s bed falls right on top of him thanks to a pea launched from a spoon in a saucepan.
* {{Pun}}: At least two from Wile E. and one from Bugs.
** "What a wonderful way to ''cement'' a friendship!"
** "Well, now he has '' concrete'' evidence that I'm a good neighbor."
** "Now that rabbit's really got a ''magnetic''... (chuckles) personality!"
* PunBasedTitle: Of "compressed hair".
* StandardSnippet:
** Bugs recites "Singing in the Bathtub" during his bath at the beginning of the cartoon.
** "Powerhouse" is heard during the Rube Goldberg-esque sequence in Wile E.'s cave.
* WetCementGag: Wile E. tries to encase Bugs in wet cement by dumping a wheelbarrow of said cement into the latter's hole, but as he tiptoes off laughing about it ("What a wonderful way to ''[[{{Pun}}cement]]'' a friendship!"), Bugs pushes the now-hardened cement, which is shaped like a cylinder, above another hole, causing Wile E. to smack into it. He then slides down and the cement falls over with him still on it.
