10/10
A masterwork of trickery and deception.
23 May 2004
Set back in the old west, during the days of the old traveling circuses, Bugs Bunny plays a stage presenter who oversells a high-diving act only for the diver to call in sick. Frustrated and mad at the disappointment, Yosemite Sam demands satisfaction and threatens Bugs to perform the stunts himself.

You honestly think you can pull one over the Bunny? Again and again Sam leads Bugs up the huge ladder to the diving board and every single time Bugs tricks him into going off himself. Basically, the entire cartoon is a list of increasingly creative ways you can trick someone, blinded with rage, into doing the same, stupid thing. Yosemite Sam is an idiot, and anyone with sense would just stop trying. But because he's so dumb it makes every fall more and more funny.

A great short indeed.
