About this sound

Bugs Bunny's laid-back 'What's up, doc?' greeting from Looney Tunes. Creators use it to open videos, greet an audience, or add instant cartoon nostalgia.

The clip is Bugs Bunny's signature greeting, spoken in his calm, slightly nasal New York drawl with a casual, unbothered confidence that instantly signals the rabbit is in control. At just under two seconds, it is short, clear and instantly recognisable, with the rising question at the end giving it a friendly, cheeky edge. Hearing it brings back Saturday morning cartoons for many listeners, while for others it works as a playful hello that breaks the ice before a joke, a reveal or an unexpected twist.

The phrase became Bugs Bunny's trademark greeting in Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes cartoons, where the laid-back rabbit used it to disarm much larger opponents with humour instead of panic. Repeated across decades of shorts, television reruns and home video, it entered everyday language as a playful way to say hello. Online, it survives as a short meme greeting, instantly understood even by viewers who have never watched a full cartoon, because the character and his tone are so widely recognised.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop it right before a character appears or a punchline lands, letting the pause after 'doc?' do the work. Pair it with a carrot crunch or a classic cartoon sting, but avoid layering it over dialogue, as its charm depends on that clean, relaxed delivery.

Use Cases

  • Opening a reaction video with a casual cartoon greeting.
  • Greeting viewers at the start of a gaming stream.
