How to Multiply, Bugs overhears moaning that turns out to be a depressed Easter Bunny, who tricks Bugs into filling in for him (a trick the Easter Bunny plays on unsuspecting rabbits every year). Initially, Bugs accepts the job with pleasure, which quickly evaporates when his encounter with a
Dead End Kid (and his gun-toting caretakers), who delights in demolishing Easter eggs, sours him on the task. The Easter Bunny sends a now-angry Bugs toward Elmer Fudd, who has set a trap hoping to cook the Easter Bunny for "Easter rabbit stew." Thus commences the classic chase and gags until Bugs is finally able to stop Elmer by painting Elmer's head like an Easter egg and unleashing the Dead End Kid on him. A disappointed Easter Bunny picks up a large egg Bugs dropped, which is actually a bomb. Bugs lights the fuse and the bomb explodes, propelling the Easter Bunny into a tree. Bugs looks up and, with triumphant
schadenfreude, reminds the Easter Bunny of his own instruction: "Remember, keep smiling!"` ==Reception==
