I stand by original assertion that Bugs is Chaotic Evil. Normal, sane people deal with people trying to eat them by running away or calling the cops. Bugs Bunny will declare war on them, and proceed to drop anvils on them, trick them off cliffs, ruin and humiliate them at every turn, and generally be an all around jerkass. He goes around gleefully (and entertainingly, but still) ruining people's lives. Think of it this way: Elmer Fudd's only crime is that he's hungry and rabbits make good stew. He certainly doesn't deserve half of what Bugs puts him through on a regular basis.
What I find most frustrating about 4E is that I can see it includes the D&D game I've always wanted to play, but the game is so lathered in tatical combat rules that I have thus far been unable to coax the game I want out.

Wasn't Bugs in the old Castle Greyhawk module? I know Captain Kirk and the Pillsbury Doughboy had cameos in it. It was a 1st edition module.

Depends on when.
Early time he was CE, harassing poor people who werent trying to bother him. Later though, he would only act up in retaliation for people trying to hunt him and skin him, and generally did so in a less than lethal way. Often enough the villain would shoot themselves in the foot (metaphorically or literally).
CG in later days.

Nope.
Castle Greyhawk was a comedy module...
Each level was a different adventure, all with a comedy theme - one level's a movie studio, one level is full of defective monsters like horizontal jet-propelled piercers, another's full of mini monsters, another has three crazed cooks making food-based monsters like gummi werebears and a parody of the Pilsbury Doughboy (a dough golem), and one level has superheroes and cartoon characters - Bugsbear Bunny, an orange stone golem as The Thing, a fire elemental as the Human Torch, an elf as Mr. Spock, a djinn as Captain Kirk ("he's dead, djinn."), and a skeleton as Bones McCoy... :D
It's one of the greatest things ever put out for D&D - it's funny as hell, but it'd kick your ass up past your ears if you didn't play it seriously...

Wow! I need to find a copy of this ASAP. This thing is right up my alley.
Anyone know of a guide to convert 1st edition material to 3.5?! I think I might just have a campaign for next Saturday.
I want it. I want it. I want it.

"So, who wants Bugsy Bunny?" *show of hands* "Okay, who wants Ephraim the Retarded Rabbit?" Debating a cartoon's character alignment...?  Seriously? Are you going to throw him in a game or are you just f-'ing off on the net during lunch break now? I'm totally guilty of the later, like, right now in fact, but c'mon...If you need a quick laugh, so be it. Um, you do know the formats are not interchangable, several animators make up this composite (not 1 player=1 PC), and it's designed for kids/humor, right? You can't nail something like this down in a game vs. the large screen (they were cinema shorts, not TV ones). Calling it Evil when that wasn' the intent is pretty distorted. Different time different place. I'm sure alot of those folks that grew up on Bugs would say a typical hour of 24 (torture scenes and all) is pretty Evil, even though here and now we condone it as "justifiable patriotism". Apples and oranges. Simple version: Why make a kids show (main character) deliberately evil?
When a man meets a force he cannot destroy he destroys himself instead. -Marlow, "30 Days of Night"

Lawful people call the cops (or are the cops). Chaotic people defend themselve.
My own theory is that Looneytoonsland has a special characteristic converting all damages to non-lethal. Thus, shooting someone with a chaingun has he same effect than throwing them a snowball. So Bugs Bunny can't be evil, since anything that makes someone evil can't happen in Looneytoonsland.
