This is a Life?

Friz Freleng, This is a Life? USA 1955


This is Your Life ran on NBC from 1948 to 1961 (the first four on NBC radio) and yup, this is a parody.

If you know the show, then this is hilarious. 


Elmer Fudd, acting as host, talks about the show's special gust of honor, Bugs Bunny. Much to the annoyance of Daffy Duck, who's sitting in the crowd and generally being boorish; much to the irritation to Granny (June Foray). Elmer brings out a special guest for Bugs, namely Yosemite Sam.

From there we watch the highlights from A Hare Grows in Manhattan, Hare Do, and Buccaneer Bunny, and which we see Elmer and Sam are up to the something, but what is it and how can Daffy make it about himself?


Pretty good and the first time we had a short with three on one fight, and the first time Foray voiced Granny. The parody may fly over some viewer's heads today but the humor still holds up.
