Bugs Bunny - 173 - Shishkabugs

Shishkabugs is a Warner Bros. Looney Tunes animated short directed by Friz Freleng and starring Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam. The title of the short is a play on shish kebab, a type of grilled meat. ________ Yosemite Sam is the royal chef for a spoiled king (a caricature of Charles Laughton, who frequently played kings and similar heads of state). On his way back to the castle from grocery shopping, Sam complains that the king never thanks him for his hard work in having to both pick up groceries and prepare meals three times every day, but that the king instead whines that Sam takes too long with preparing the meals, much to Sam’s annoyance (“Cook! Cook! Where’s my lunch? Where’s my dinner?“). This drives Sam to the point where he insults the king behind his back.
