The 'Bugs Bunny No' meme originates from the 1946 Looney Tunes short titled 'Big House Bunny,' where Bugs is confronted by a prison guard. The specific frame captures Bugs making a uniquely smug, tight-lipped facial expression while uttering a firm refusal. It gained massive internet popularity as a reaction image used to express a flat, often sarcastic or defiant rejection of a request, proposition, or statement. Its simplicity and Bugs' iconic nonchalant attitude make it the ultimate digital tool for shutting down an argument or saying 'no' to something undesirable with a touch of classic cartoon sass.
