Nice find. My favourite was always &quot;I shoulda turned left at Albuquerque&quot;.<p>Good explanation from Quora[0]:<p><i>The old Route 66 (often referred to as “The Mother Road”)—which opened in 1926 to drive from Chicago to Los Angeles—was the main method of heading west until the 1950s and the building of modern superhighways. (The trek of numerous Okies and other rural families made destitute by the Dust Bowl in the 1930s has been memorialized in Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath.”) Route 66 travels through Albuquerque—and actually intersects itself in the middle of downtown (ie., you can stand on the corner of Route 66 and Route 66)—so lots of people likely got confuddled and turned around while driving through Albuquerque…like Bugs!</i><p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quora.com&#x2F;What-is-the-origin-of-the-statement-in-the-Bugs-Bunny-cartoons-I-knew-I-should-have-made-that-left-turn-at-Albuquerque" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quora.com&#x2F;What-is-the-origin-of-the-statement-in...</a> (Sean Griffin&#x27;s answer)

I&#x27;m guessing younger people don&#x27;t understand what a big deal the Looney Tunes used to be. With less channels and less cartoons in the old days, they were something kids would watch repeatedly in reruns. You didn&#x27;t have a choice of several &quot;cartoon only&quot; channels if you wanted to watch a cartoon.

Just remember, you can&#x27;t watch a Warner Bros. movie without a Warner Bros. ball cap: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=YSMj5M9w2qA" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=YSMj5M9w2qA</a>
