What happens
Bugs Bunny Gets the Boid is a 1942 Merrie Melodies cartoon, directed by Bob Clampett, produced by Leon Schlesinger, and released to theaters by Warner Bros. Pictures. It marks the first appearance of Beaky Buzzard (called "Killer" by his mother in this story) in a Warner Bros. short. The title is a Brooklyn-accented way of saying "gets the bird", which can refer to an obscene gesture, or as simply the "Bronx cheer"; in this case, it is also used metaphorically, as Bugs Bunny "gets" the bird (Beaky) by playing a trick.
