* ExplosiveStupidity: Subverted. The saber-tooth rabbit tells Elmer, "One of these days, some smart apple's gonna invent gunpowder. Now, if you was to do that, the gun would follow." Elmer thinks this is a great idea and invents gunpowder in no time. He puts a straight stick into the container of powder and rapidly rotates it between his palms, producing a spark that results in a massive explosion. When the smoke clears, Elmer is nowhere to be seen. The saber-tooth rabbit thinks Elmer's killed himself, but then he sees he's just been blown into a tree.
-->'''Saber-Tooth Rabbit:''' Whoosh! He did it. The hard way.\\
''[Elmer's laugh is heard. The rabbit looks up and sees him draped over a tree branch.]''\\
'''Elmer Fuddstone:''' Now who has the last laugh?

* OrganicTechnology: To make the first gun, the saber-tooth rabbit uses a hollow bamboo stalk for the barrel, with a piece of taro root in one end for the stock. The gun has a fuse, which he lights with a lighter that's made of wood and has two stones that strike each other, creating a spark that ignites the lighter's fuse.

"Pre-Hysterical Hare" is a 1958 ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' cartoon directed by Creator/RobertMcKimson and starring WesternAnimation/BugsBunny and WesternAnimation/ElmerFudd.

Bugs, while fleeing from Elmer, falls into an underground cave, where he discovers a time capsule from the year 10,000 B.C. Inside is a roll of projector film, which Bugs takes back to his home. The film is a documentary about Elmer Fuddstone and his hunt for the saber-tooth rabbit, who bears a striking resemblance to Bugs.

* TimeCapsule: Bugs finds one in the underground cave but doesn't realize it's a time capsule, as he is unable to read the prehistoric writing on it. The writing changes briefly to English for the benefit of the viewer: "Time Capsule, Circa 10,000 B.C., to be opened 1960 A.D."
