* NonNudeBathing: Elmer Fudd rushes into the shower when he thinks he has contracted "the dread disease Rabititus" from Bugs Bunny. The gag is that Bugs is in the shower as well, pretending to be the faucet, but what's also funny is that Elmer still has his briefs on.

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: The short ends with the implication that the entire audience just caught Rabbititis (although judging from Bugs' laugh at the fade out, it's clear that it's meant to be a put-on).

Recycled Premise

Added DiffLines:

* RecycledPremise: Shares its basic premise with the earlier (and EarlyInstallmentWeirdness-ridden) ''Elmer’s Pet Rabbit'', but with Elmer taking Bugs home as food instead of as a pet, and the addition of Bugs’ “Rabbititis” plot. Both cartoons were directed by Creator/ChuckJones.

Elmer Fudd purchases a live rabbit, Bugs, from the store, with intent on making "wabbit stew". However, Bugs decides to take advantage of the setup and heckle Elmer by making him believe that he has "Rabbititis", a highly contagious dread disease with symptoms that include seeing spots before the eyes and assuming rabbit characteristics. Terrified out of his mind, Elmer tries to keep away from Bugs as the rabbit spends the rest of the cartoon making him believe he has come down with "Rabbititis".

Terrified out of his mind, Elmer tries to keep away himself from Bugs catching Bugs' contamination as the rabbit spends the rest of the cartoon making him believe he has come down with the "Rabbititis".

!!''Hare Tonic'' provides examples of:of:

* BreakingTheFourthWall: It starts with Bugs telling the audience that he can't just leave early. Then at the end, he convinces Elmer that the audience is infected with Rabbititis, causing Elmer to run away. And finally, Bugs reassures the audience that they haven't got Rabbititis… only they appear to get it as he describes the symptoms to them.
* FullyClothedNudity: Elmer strips down to take a shower, but is still wearing his underwear.
* MirrorRoutine: Bugs takes the mirror off the frame and pretends to be Elmer's reflection to make him think that he's turned into a rabbit.
* SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud: Bugs when pretending to be Elmer's showerhead.
-->'''Bugs:''' Gurgle, gurgle. Why don't you pay your water bill, Doc?
* SequentialSymptomSyndrome:
** As Bugs tells Elmer that he doesn't have the symptoms of Rabbititis, he manifests the symptoms as he mentions them.
** At the end, Bugs tells the audience that if they had Rabbititis, they'd see red and yellow spots before their eyes. As he says that, the screen is filled with red and yellow spots. Then Bugs says that the dots would start swirling around, and the dots do just that. Finally, he says that everything would go black and the screen fades to black, with Bugs snickering.
* VisualPun: Bugs shows Elmer his coated tongue - that is, his tongue has a little overcoat on it.
* WeInterruptThisBroadcast: Bugs hides behind a radio and does a fake news bulletin about the spread of Rabbititis.
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: Bugs actually gets away early on, but then he realizes that "this set up is too good. I just can't leave. I gotta get back and heckle that character." So he comes back and does the whole Rabbititis routine.
