The cartoon ends with Bugs arrested over the massive debts "he" has left since Elmer lost his mind while "Bugs" shows relief at least this screwy wabbit won't be going to Alcatraz. After the two suffer slippage insanity in "Hare Brush", Elmer undergoes a role reversal with Bugs, convinced they are now in each other's respective roles. He spent entirely of "Rabbit Rampage" tormenting Bugs with the artist's pen (something of a karmic throwback to Bugs doing the same to Daffy in "Duck Amuck").

It’s worth noting that Elmer is actually among the few antagonists to outright defeat Bugs in a cartoon despite his incompetence. In "Rabbit Fire", he reveals that he is a vegetarian and only hunts for the sport of it. Elmer is ready to try and hunt Bugs Bunny (and Daffy Duck, to a lesser extent), his actions often lead to Bugs tricking him in many ways and this infuriates Elmer to the point he has threatened to kill the rabbit - though it's worth noting when Bugs tricks Elmer into believing he has succeeded in this Elmer shows great remorse, suggesting that he does not truly wish to murder Bugs at all. He also respects hunting laws, best shown in the cartoon, Rabbit Fire.

Comedian Arthur Q Bryan provided the character's voice.ĭespite being a villain, Elmer Fudd is not very wicked as he has good intentions sometimes. Elmer first appeared in the cartoon "Elmer's Candid Camera". He is a hunter who wishes to trap Bugs, but the intelligent hare always tricks him and wins.
