Along Came Daffy is one of only two Warner Bros. shorts (the other being Honey's Money) in which Yosemite Sam is not paired with Bugs Bunny (although at one point Daffy does ask, "What's cookin', Doc?", a variant of Bugs's "What's up, Doc?" catchphrase along with the famous "eh" and the imitated 'carrot chewing').
In the Bugs Bunny cartoon French Rarebit (1951), a reference to Antoine's plays a pivotal role, as Bugs convinces two Parisian chefs to let him show them how to cook "Louisiana Back-Bay Bayou Bunny Bordelaise", exclusively because it is "a la Antoine".
The story is about a dwarf gangster named "Babyface" Finster (a play on words on Baby Face Nelson) who, after a clever bank robbery, loses his ill-gotten gains down Bugs Bunny's rabbit hole, forcing him to don the disguise of an orphan baby to get it back.
The cartoon's story is derived from the classic fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk and stars Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck as Jack, and Elmer Fudd as the giant.
Bugs goes to get him back and tricks him back onto set, performing Rabbit of Seville.

The demon takes off his mask to reveal he's the man from the draft board, who then replies with the popular catchphrase of the "Richard Q. Peavey" character from The Great Gildersleeve, "Well, now, I wouldn't say that," (same as what Bugs Bunny, in his elderly form, says at the end of the Merrie Melodies cartoon, The Old Grey Hare) and proceeds to chase Daffy into the distance, letter still in hand.
The music also makes an appearance in the 1951 Warner Brothers Merrie Melodies animated cartoon Ballot Box Bunny featuring Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam, as well as in the opening bars of the 1982-83 #1 pop hit Come on Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners.

It stars Bugs Bunny, who duels with a pair of racketeers or gangsters, Rocky and Hugo forerunners who resemble Edward G. Robinson (Rocky, not to be confused with the aforementioned Rocky) and Peter Lorre (Hugo).
The mascot of the team is a rabbit, which resembles Bugs Bunny and is called "Spass" ("fun").
