Happy 75th birthday to one of the most famous human characters in the #LooneyTunes franchise, Granny, also known as Emma Webster. Sylvester and Tweety's owner too. Sometimes it's just Tweety depending on the short.

- Lola’s car tires tip toeing around the jacks.
- Puns are hard, Rhoda.
- Callback to earlier in the episode. She has to accelerate the ramp and jump the creek.
- Burning rubber and it is elastic.
- Closing out the cartoon with a wise crack.

- The hippo, gators and monkeys are what you need to go faster in a foot race. Good payoff at the end of this joke.
- Car trouble? It needs some “carbs”, leafy greens and pizza? Sounds like the parts for a funny car.
- The new rig is eye-catching to the seagulls.

- “You’re going… - Down. Sentence finisher.
- Montage in 10 seconds or less.
- Lola lady talking to get Rhoda sidetracked as she blabbers about her ride.
- Who can be the slowest? Well, Lola has to settle at being the fastest.

- Is it going to jump the creek? It looks like Lola is driving. Pull back, it’s a toy car. Good bait and switch.
- Interesting to note that after Bugs Bunny, they established Rhoda Roundhouse as Lola Bunny’s new rival.
- Some good comebacks / one-liners coming from Lola.

Lola Bunny in her first solo outing and she definitely learned from the best as her car race with Rhoda is burning rubber with visual gags, wise cracks, banter and high octane speed.

- Daffy’s complex new moves as he interrupts the song’s flow.
- The victory clasp is definitely the new world dance craze as evident by these funny cameos that act like moving postcards.
- Daffy has had enough, but they still go on.
- End in confetti.

- Rope tied Bugs. That can keep his hands together.
- The quick poses between the entire case are giving off that music video feel. The artists are having fun with the colors and posing.
- Quite true Sylvester. The putty tat does get beat up in every cartoon he’s in.

- Composer Joshua Funk taking some inspiration of “Cha Cha Slide” as the Victory Clasp is groovy.
- Bugs pulling in Phoebe and Justin from the living room into the TV. You can say it’s a fourth wall break.
- Ten pushups. That’s Foghorn’s workout. (Not even ten and that’s the joke).

- Piñata opening.
- Bugs Bunny’s victory clasp date all the way back to his 1944 short, “What’s Cookin’ Doc?” when he cheers (the pose was also referenced in Multiversus)

“Victory Clasp” fits well in the Merrie Melodies category of shorts where its strength lies in the vibrant storyboards, on-beat editing and a catchy song that’s fun to sing and dance along to.

- Rapid visual car jokes. This includes a jalopy, a progressive flying saucer and a cute bunny car.
- Wait, the disguise backfires in classic Bugs and Elmer fashion.
- Bowling ball and pin joke but with cars.
- Always have a spare. See Elmer squished in the spare holder.

- Crash test successful for the two dummies.
- Bugs disguised as a car tycoon with a mustache and glasses = Total payback.
- All demands delivered including the lullaby.
- Taking size in literal context. Bigger first, then smaller, then very small in can fit in your hand.

- The whole scene of Elmer transformed, painted and metallicized as a car model. “Looks a little Fuddy”.
- Various factory tests in action. The off-road test and city driving test have some fun unpredictable jokes in there.

- Elmer increasing production exponentially. Quick cuts.
- Only employee echoes. Lonely tire rolling outside.
- Bugs Bunny, master of reverse psychology. Watch as he tricks Elmer to almost quitting with the gold watch retirement gift as a funny extension to the joke.

Auto plant hijinks and visual gags, silly roleplay with Bugs and Elmer and rapid fire comedic timing are a total powerhouse in this episode, and they need no assembly line.

- Notice the soundalike of Raymond Scott’s “Powerhouse” as the assembly line moves.
