Bugs Bunny Cartoon about Bank Robber[edit]

I'm looking for the cartoon where Bugs Bunny thwarts a bank robber who is actually a really small dwarf like villain. At the end, the robber is locked in a playpen inside a jail cell and Bugs Bunny says "99 years isn't forever!". It was one of my favorite cartoons growing up, next to the one where he goes to the castle and drinks the potion to become a Bugs Bunny monster. -KTcup82 (talk) 04:23, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly Bugs and Thugs. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 04:57, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, no :-( It wasn't the Mugsy Bugsy characters but some kind of baby thief who got locked in a playpen at the end. -KTcup82 (talk) 18:52, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Links to Baby Buggy Bunny and Hyde and Hare. And articles:Baby Buggy Bunny Hyde and Hare. :-) Modocc (talk) 20:22, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That was it! "Baby Buggy Bunny" - the scene I remember was at 2:35 [1]. Thanks! -KTcup82 (talk) 05:39, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

They look very much alike[edit]

How could Lisa Vidal and Rosa Blasi look so much like each other?2603:7000:8100:F444:B190:116A:E9B:D160 (talk) 13:27, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Who says they do? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 14:09, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

People of similar ethnic and cultural backgrounds often look more similar to people from outside of that cultural context than they do to people from inside of it. This is known as Out-group homogeneity. In this case, as two females of similar ages with Puerto Rican backgrounds, it seems likely that someone from outside of that cultural context would see them as looking more similar than those within it. --Jayron 32 14:13, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Or maybe they really do look like each other. Not everything is dependent on cultural context, fyi. --Viennese Waltz 14:19, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly not things like particle physics or calculus do. But a person's internal feelings on how other people look are primarily informed by what they are exposed to in their own lives, which is highly influenced by their own cultural context. --Jayron 32 14:42, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, but there we go. --Viennese Waltz 15:06, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, this isn't the "disagree desk". This is the reference desk. If you think that concept of Out-group homogeneity is not correct, you've got to take it up with all of the sociologists that developed the concept. I'm not the person you need to disagree with. Instead, you should perhaps provide the OP with some reading material so they can learn more. --Jayron 32 15:46, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

When it comes to the dependence of quantum gravity on cultural context, we should not disregard its transformative hermeneutics. --Lambiam 01:20, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't require an exact match^[2] but are content with a good resemblance that might confuse someone, everybody is surprisingly likely to have living doppelgangers.^[3] --Lambiam 17:25, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a picture of the two of them standing together.[4] They do not look alike. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 17:31, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Even if they did, it would be no more than a mere coincidence. There are for example tons of people resembling celebrities without being related to them. Lookalikes not being related is in fact quite common. 193.54.167.164 (talk) 11:56, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Our article on look-alikes list the notable ones. Also Den of Geek staff published Top 150 Celebrity Doppelgangers: Actors Who Look Alike. Modocc (talk) 13:50, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
