Origin

What's the origin of Bugs Bunny No?

The “Bugs Bunny No” meme is derived from a scene in the Looney Tunes cartoon, “The Big Snooze”, which first aired on October 5th, 1946 in the United States. In one of the scenes, Bugs Bunny has to save himself from falling, and thus he has to drink a bottle of “hare tonic”. While he is consuming the tonic, he makes a humorous and exploitable face, which became the basis for the popular meme.

The earliest known instance of the meme was shared on February 14th, 2015, on Tumblr, by the user whyx3. The popularity of the meme has since grown exponentially, with it being used in a variety of situations to express rejection or disapproval.
