* AdaptationalSympathy: Of sorts. Much of the short was used in ''The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie''. There however, the audience's snubbing of Daffy ([[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing up to his death]]) feels much more provoked since he has spent the whole movie beforehand among them heckling them and acting like an EntitledBastard (not to mention the audience consists of several Looney Tunes mainstays who have been routinely antagonised by Daffy otherwise).

'''Show Biz Bugs''' is a 1957 WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes cartoon starring WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck and WesternAnimation/BugsBunny. In this short, Bugs and Daffy are costars in a stage show, but Bugs is getting top billing and all the applause, while Daffy gets (very distant!) second billing and complete indifference from the audience. Jealous, Daffy tries both one-upmanship and sabotage, until desperation drives him to blow himself up. (This finally works.)

Directed by Creator/FrizFreleng. A variation on the scene where Bugs and Daffy dance onstage was used as the opening credits for ''[[WesternAnimation/TheBugsBunnyRoadRunnerShow The Bugs Bunny Show]]'', a Looney Tunes compilation show that ran on Saturday mornings for decades.

*** CBS and numerous local stations aired this short the same way as on the BBC, but without applause added, thus giving it NoEnding.

!!Tropes:

* ToiletHumour: A very mild example, given the time period, but still technically counts: Daffy enters his "dressing room" but quickly exits: "There can only be one explanation for white tile in a dressing room. ''(turns around sign on door, that reads "MEN")'' And that's it."

* XylophoneGag: Played completely straight, as Daffy wires the xylophone to explode when Bugs plays "Those Endearing Young Charms", only to blow himself up when he corrects Bugs' bad playing. (Also provides the page image.) This gag was a RecycledPremise that was previously used in "WesternAnimation/BallotBoxBunny" and would be again in later in "Rushing Roulette". Incidentally, this is the first instance of the gag to use a xylophone, making it the TropeNamer.

* DanceOff: Daffy dares Bugs to beat him at dancing. Bugs gets applause by tapping ShaveAndAHaircut, while Daffy's more energetic tap routine gets only ChirpingCrickets.

* BitterSweetEnding: In the end, Daffy finally managed to put up an act that won him the audience's applause, at the cost of his own life.

** Cartoon Network has, at times, aired the original ending uncensored. When Cartoon Network began airing the short censored (around 2001 to 2002), the scene of Daffy drinking the gasoline and nitroglycerin was removed and replaced with a frozen shot of Bugs staring at Daffy from off-stage and continuing with the gunpowder, uranium 238, and the match. In 2003, another censored version aired that was similar to the version that aired on CBS. As of 2011, the ending has been shown uncut and uncensored.
