"Arise, Sir Loin of Beef."
When Bugs Bunny tries to steal from the king's Royal Carrot Patch he is caught by the Sheriff of Nottingham who wants to take him to the infamous Tower of London for punishment. In typical Bugs Bunny fashion, he quickly turns the tables on the Sheriff, and causes him a whole bushel of trouble.
At one point Bugs convinces the naive lawman that he is the king himself and proceeds to wamp him on the noggin several times while pretending to knight him Sir Loin of Beef, Earl of Cloves, Duke of Brittingham, Baron of Munchausen, Essence of Myrrh, Milk of Magnesia, and Water of Tyne.
The mention of Brittingham was an inside joke amongst the production team, because it was the name of the bar across from the studio.
Bugs gets so far into the Sheriff's mind that he actually convinces him to buy The Royal Rose Garden to build a house on. The Sheriff doesn't realize that he has been duped until he has the house half built.
Throughout the story Little John of Robin Hood's Merry Men shows up and announces that the famed rogue is about to make an entrance, only to have him not show up. This irritates Bugs to no end. Finally when Bugs has lost his patience, Robin Hood does indeed appear in the form of a clip featuring Errol Flynn from the 1938 film The Adventures of Robin Hood.

The Bugs Bunny Show (Better known as The Bugs Bunny / Road Runner Hour) is a long-running American television anthology series hosted by Bugs Bunny, that was mainly composed of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons released by Warner Bros.. Because Warner Bros. did not have the copyrights to their pre-1948 cartoons (their copyrights, but not their original negatives, were sold to Associated Artists Productions in 1956), the show only could air cartoons released between "You Were Never Duckier" and "Injun Trouble". Despite the black and white cartoons (excluding the 1931-33 Merrie Melodies, except "Lady, Play Your Mandolin!") being back in Warner's ownership by 1969, they were never shown.
