    Modern Brooklynites no longer speak with the same accent as pre-WWII Brookyn natives like Bugs.

    DAD: "Hmmm…How about me saying: "Wouldn"t you like to help me raking the leaves, huh?"

    RED: Uuuuummm…

    ROVER: That’s all, folks!

    Sometimes today Bugs doesn’t sound quite like Bugs (anymore).

    The reason is because _____. (Fill in the Blanc.)

    I used to love the way Bugs pronounced some things, like “Perth Amboy.” It was great getting to watch a few cartoons at the movie theater before the main feature. Though I enjoyed them all, my favorite was—and still is—Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner.

    Mel Blanc always placed Bugs somewhere between Brooklyn and the Bronx.

    Ahhh…Mel Blanc. Loved him especially when he had acting parts in old movies.

    Mel was a great actor. He didn’t get the respect he deserved because of the medium he worked in for years.

    I think Dad’s been away from Brooklyn too long to sound “native,” lol ;)

    I want to buy a boat and name it the ’What’s up’. Then I can moor it at the What’s Up Dock.

    Bugs Bunny, in Mel Blanc’s day, was the best!

    Real Brooklynites do. I had a friend who lived in Brooklyn and talked like bugs bunny. Unfortunately he just died at a very young age.
