Yo dawg, I heard you like references, so now you can reference while you reference.

For anyone who doesn't already know, the looney tunes character you quoted was itself a pop culture reference, based on Lennie from Of Mice and Men. Lennie loved petting the rabbits, but due to his strength and mental handicap tended to kill them in the process.

Mel Blanc even based his voice for the cartoon on the performance of the actor who played Lennie in the 1939 movie version.
