Apes Of Wrath is a 1959 Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Friz Freleng, serving as a remake of Gorilla My Dreams.

A drunk stork loses a gorilla baby, and fearing repercussions, knocks Bugs Bunny out, dresses him as a baby, and sends him to the gorilla's house, where the rabbit immediately decides to go along with it upon seeing his new "mother" abusing her husband, who immediately takes a dislike to the rabbit.

Tropes:

• Abusive Parents: Played with. Unlike Gruesome in the original short, Elvis is initially quite happy to learn he's a father, only to attack Bugs for thinking he's some kind of deformed offspring (which gets him walloped with a rolling pin). After Bugs decides to actively antagonize him, Elvis tries to get away with inflicting harm whenever possible.
• Adaptation Name Change: Here, the father is named Elvis instead of Gruesome.
• Alcohol Hic: The stork. It's all but stated that he got one too many drinks by the time the episode starts.
• Aside Glance: Bugs has this frustrated reaction to his "new baby" being Daffy.
• Bullying a Dragon: Bugs goes along with it just to annoy Elvis for his own amusement, especially since Elvis's wife won't hesitate to clobber him if he tries anything. Once the Stork finds and delivers their real baby, however, Bugs realizes just how much trouble he's in.
• Butt-Monkey: Bugs, unusually for him, due to being dragged into playing baby for a gorilla and her ferocious husband. Especially since he was violently shanghied into this by the drunken stork, and later even Daffy gets a final punchline on him for once.
• The Cameo: Daffy Duck appears at the end delivered by the stork to Bugs as his "new baby", confusing Bugs.
• Child Hater: Zig-Zagged. Here, Gruesome (renamed Elvis) WANTS to be a father, but when the stork substitutes Bugs for the missing baby gorilla he was supposed to deliver, Elvis wants no part of it and is only angered more when Bugs trolls him in response.
• Cranial Eruption: Bugs ends up with a rather large bump on his head after the drunken stork knocks him out. At the end of the short, Daffy has one as well, with it implied his calling Bugs 'Mommy' is due to having a concussion.
• Drinking on Duty: The short opens with the stork completely plastered, after 15 deliveries. He goes on and on about how happy couples keep inviting him to have celebratory drinks and how he, of course, can't say no. As a result, he doesn't immediately notice the baby gorilla crawling away.
• Gentle Gorilla: In contrast to Gruesome and despite a sign claiming the island is inhabited by "ferocious apes", the other gorillas are considerably friendlier, particularly Gruesome's mate.
• Goo Goo Getup: The stork dresses Bugs and Daffy as babies before delivering them.
• Henpecked Husband: Weaponised. As fierce as Elvis is, he is cowed by his wife and her rolling pin, giving Bugs protection.
• Hero Antagonist: Bugs, in one of his rare roles as a genuine tormentor.
• I Choose to Stay: Bugs initially wanted to flee the cave, but after seeing Mama clobber Elvis the first time, he opts to stay and have some fun antagonizing him.
• Inelegant Blubbering: After the boulder he dropped lands on Mama instead of Bugs, Elvis is reduced to this while trying to explain to her why this happened.
• Instant Regret: Elvis tries to finish Bugs by throwing a big boulder at him, but he instantly regrets it when Bugs immediately flees, and the mama gorilla is stunned by the boulder instead.
• I Want My Mommy!: Near the end of the short, Bugs fearfully says, “Mother!” upon finding out that the stork found the real baby and realizing that there’s nothing to protect him from Elvis’s wrath.
• Karma Houdini: The drunk stork doesn't face any punishment for losing the original baby gorilla, kidnapping Bugs (and later Daffy), and forcing him to be someone else's baby.
• Killer Gorilla: Downplayed with Elvis, who is mainly aggressive towards Bugs because the rabbit annoys him just for kicks, though he did try to off Bugs upon first seeing him.
• Laser-Guided Karma: At the end, after spending much of the short tormenting Elvis for his own amusement, Bugs gets stuck with Daffy as his "new baby".
• Little "No": The stork, upon seeing the baby gorilla is gone.
• Mama Bear: Bugs, amused by Mama protecting him from Elvis by beating him, exploits this trope and torments Elvis to face his wife's wrath for his own amusement until the true baby is delivered.
• My God, What Have I Done?: The stork over the baby gorilla wandering off, and what the punishment for that will be.
• The Not Catch: Elvis tries this when he kicks Bugs high in the air, but it fails as Bugs lands on his head.
• No-Sell: When Bugs tells his pursuer not to cross a rope bridge to the mountain he’s standing on, lest he cut the rope, the ape has none of it and simply pulls at the rope—dragging Bugs’s mountain along with it. Bugs is appropriately cowed.
• Oh, Crap!:
  • Bugs when the stork arrives with the apes' real baby, and Elvis realizes he finally has an opportunity to beat Bugs into oblivion without his wife objecting.
    Bugs: Mother...
  • Bugs again after Elvis pulls an entire mountain over just to try to throttle him.
    Bugs: My, what uh... what big muscles you've got.
  • Elvis the moment before the boulder he just dropped lands on Mama instead of Bugs.
• Porky Pig Pronunciation: When the drunk stork gives Mama her real baby, he apologizes for the inconven- *hic* inconven- *hic* inconven- *hic* trouble.
• Proud Papa Passes Out the Cigars: After learning a baby has been delivered, Elvis hands out bananas to his buddies.
• Rolling Pin of Doom: How Mama keeps Elvis in line. Even Bugs gets in on it.
• Sacred Hospitality: How the stork justifies Drinking on Duty, saying he can't just refuse the hospitality of all those happy parents offering him drinks.
• Threat Backfire: After crossing a rope over a chasm, Bugs threatens to cut it should Elvis try to give chase. Elvis responds by grabbing the rope and pulling the mountain towards him.
• Vine Swing: How the gorillas get around. Bugs gets proficient at this by the end of the cartoon.
