Bugs Bunny is the source of a lot of weird misconceptions.
Example: people think rabbits mostly eat carrots because Bugs Bunny likes to snack on them while leaning on something and saying "What's up, Doc?". Except Bugs doing that was a reference to a movie where Clark Gable... ate carrots while leaning on a fence and calling people Doc.
And somehow a parody of a Clark Gable movie turned into most people believing that carrots are a staple of leporine diets.
