Round 11: Tossup 2

A common action done by this character draws on a Clark Gable gag in the hitchhiking scene (10[1])of It Happened One Night. (10[1])A line originated by this character titles a screwball comedy by Peter Bogdanovich in which Ryan O’Neal (10[1])plays an aloof musicologist. This character is shown to be the sadistic author who has been changing settings at the end of a rhymingly titled short film whose protagonist begins as a musketeer. While disguised as Brünnhilde, this character teases a man dressed as Siegfried in a Wagner-inspired short by Michael Maltese (10[1])and Chuck Jones (10[1])for (10[1])the Merrie Melodies. When a hunter points a gun at him, (10[1])this character calmly says that it is “duck season.” (10[1])For 10 points, “what’s up, Doc?” (10[1])is a (10[1])catchphrase of what Looney (10[1])Tunes (-5[1])character who often dupes Elmer Fudd? ■END■ (10[1])
