TIL that after a terrible car accident that put Mel Blanc (voice of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, etc.) into a coma, the only thing that woke him up was one of Blanc\u2019s neurologists that asked, \u201cBugs Bunny, how are you doing today?\u201d He replied, \u201cMyeeeeh. What\u2019s up doc?\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

This further proves that Bugs Bunny is more powerful than God and is not a force to be reckoned with<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cOne day, about 14 days after the accident, one of Blanc\u2019s neurologists walked into the room and tried something completely new. He went to Mel\u2019s bed and asked, \u201cBugs Bunny, how are you doing today?\u201d<\/p>\n

There was a pause while people in the room just shook their heads. Then, in a weak voice, came the response anyone would recognize.<\/p>\n

\u201cMyeeeeh. What\u2019s up doc?\u201d<\/p>\n

The doctor then asked Tweety if he was there too.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tot I taw a puddy tat,\u201d was the reply. It took seven more months in a body cast for Blanc to recover. He even voiced Barney Rubble in the first episodes of The Flintstones<\/i>while <\/i>lying in bed with a microphone dangling from above.<\/p>\n

The Radio Lab piece<\/a> includes excerpts from an episode of This is Your Life<\/i> when Blanc\u2019s doctor tried to explain how he revived his patient.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seemed like Bugs Bunny was trying to save his life,\u201d was all he could say.<\/p>\n

Radio Lab features another neurologist\u2019s opinion: Blanc was such a hard-working professional that his characters lived, protected from the brain injury, deep in his unconscious mind. The doctor\u2019s question must have sounded like a director\u2019s cue. Essentially, \u201cMr. Blanc, you\u2019re on.\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n

Bugs Bunny is a chaos deity and should not be underestimated. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
