The “…on account of I… am greedy” thing is my favorite line in all of cartoondom. Followed closely by “I’m not Jack. He’s Jack. Jack Rabbit! My name’s… uh… Aloysius!” I’ve always been more of a Coyote fan, but this is definitely one of my favorites. Great choice.
I like the Flintstones shout-out at the end, too. Or am I getting my time periods mixed up? Wikipedia says Beanstalk Bunny is 1954 and the Flintstones started in 1960, so I guess I am. Ah well.
Those cartoons always give me flashbacks to going to the drive-in with my family, because that was usually where I saw them. They did show up on TV too, but somehow the drive-in memory is what sticks. Such a shame drive-ins don’t exist any more.

Never seen that one before.
Like that “Jack knife” joke. Wait, Who’d grind bones for *bread*?

Drive-ins aren’t extinct, just endangered. Supposedly they’re on the upswing in China.
This had a distinct lack of “You’re dithpicable,” but “you milksop” was nice.
