Hearing Bugs dole out racial slurs as he hands the Japanese sticks of dynamite definitely makes it tough to watch without cringing. Still, the comedy is pretty much on par with what you can find in other Bugs Bunny shorts. Bugs dresses as a lady. Bugs fools people that are chasing him by jumping into his hole and appearing behind them. If the Japanese were something less insensitive, people would eat it up. Hard to appreciate it when it's so blatantly and openly hateful though.

My first thought was to call this racist, juvenile and unfunny, which it is. Then I remembered how shorts like this were shown to soldiers as entertainment, as being only one reel made shipping much easier. Considering it came out in 1944, I'm positive it was made as a morale booster for US troops in the Pacific. This might be the last thing a man my age ever saw -- and enjoyed -- before being sent to die on a suicide mission. Like The Room and Showgirls, I don't have a clue how to rate this.

I haven't found Bugs amusing since I was a tiny child. However, the sheer spectacle of the political incorrectness makes this toon of minor interest

Freleng ought to be ashamed of himself. I get that it's a product of its time, but it's not even slightly funny - and I can find the humour in most of the censored shorts. The whole bit is just Bugs beating the tar out of Japanese soldiers and calling them "monkey face" as if that's the height of comedy.

Propoganda at the height of the war in the Pacific. It has genuinely funny moments on par with all the other Bugs cartoons, but you have to stomach the silly racism.
