Bugs bunny.
The joke “What do you call a rabbit with fleas? Bugs Bunny.” is a humorous play on words involving a pun, which relies on the double meaning of “bugs.” In one context, “bugs” refers to small insects, such as fleas. This sets up the listener to think about a literal situation where a rabbit is infested with fleas. However, the punchline shifts the meaning to a reference to “Bugs Bunny,” a famous animated cartoon character known for being a clever and mischievous rabbit.
The humor arises from the clever wordplay linking “bugs” (the fleas) with “Bugs Bunny” (the character). The joke creates a comical association between a real-life scenario (a rabbit with an infestation of fleas) and a well-known cultural icon, blending the literal and figurative meanings of the word “bugs.”
