About

Bugs Bunny's "No" is a close-up image of Looney Tunes character Bugs Bunny with protruding lips and his tongue touching the roof of his mouth. Online, the image has been used as a reaction meme, commonly paired with the caption "No."

Origin

On October 5th, 1946, Looney Tunes cartoon The Big Snooze premiered in the United States.[1] In one scene of the cartoon, the character Bugs Bunny drinks a bottle of "Hare Tonic" to save himself from falling.

On February 14th, 2015, Tumblr user whyx3 posted a still image from the cartoon, rotated 90 degrees, in which Bugs Bunny is about to drink from the bottle (shown below, right).[2] The post gained over 11,600 likes and reblogs in four years.

Following the whyx3's post, the image gained moderate spread as a reaction and a meme format. For example, on March 4th, 2017, a since-deleted Facebook community posted a meme based on the image which gained over 80 likes (shown below, left).[3][4] On April 28th, 2017, the Facebook community Dungeons and Dragons Memes made a post based on the image which gained over 3,300 likes and 1,000 shares in two years (shown below, right).[5] On Twitter, Funnyjunk and other websites, the image saw use as a reaction.[6][7]

Me: When the Fighter is dying from too much damage but they forgot to buy healing potions in town even though you reminded them so you drink one of yours in front of them even though your health is pretty okay. fo.com/dndmemes
