The Big Game XXIX: Bugs vs. Daffy
Release date: 2001-01-27
Plot: The Big Game XXIX was a four-hour marathon featuring a selection of classic Looney Tunes shorts focused on the rivalry between Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. The special was structured like a sports broadcast, complete with pre-game segments, live commentary, and post-game analysis, all parodying the Super Bowl.
Name and role: Daffy Duck was branded as 'the eternal second place, desperate for redemption. A variety of his most iconic appearances were featured, including The Abominable Snow Rabbit (1961) and the legendary Duck Rabbit Duck trilogy. In a shocking twist, Daffy finally snatched victory. During the fourth quarter, Bugs Bunny 'quit' the game, letting Daffy score and win with a final score of 37-31.

The special was structured like a sports broadcast, complete with pre-game segments, live commentary, and post-game analysis, all parodying the Super Bowl.
Name and role: Bugs Bunny, the 'veteran with a long winning streak,' was the fan favorite backed by both the stats and the bettors. But in true Bugs fashion, cool, aloof, and never too invested, he bailed on the match to go on vacation in Tahiti. (Though, knowing Bugs, he probably got lost. Again. But we'll never know.)
