Did You Know?
| Trivia | Only time Mel Blanc voiced Elmer Fudd while the original voice of Elmer Fudd Arthur Q. Bryan was still alive. As Elmer just had one line, Chuck Jones decided bringing Bryan in for that one line was redundant, so he had Blanc do it instead. See more » |

Sylvester:
The wedding must take place tonight, milord. The Scarlet Pumpernickel is about, masquerading as a gentleman. [Sylvester notices Daffy in disguise] Sylvester: And who might you be, sirrah? Daffy Duck: Mayhap, perchance, foppish that I am, *I* might be the Scarlet Pumpernickel? Sylvester: You, the Scarlet Pumpernickel? [Sylvester and the Chamberlain burst into hysterical laughter] Sylvester: That's silly! That's ridiculous! [Daffy raises his eyebrows at the audience, signaling that he is the Scarlet Pumpernickel] See more » |
