In season 1 episode 15 of Looney Tunes titled "Bugs & Daffy Get a Job," the iconic duo of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck find themselves in a financial crunch and decide to get jobs to pay their bills.
The episode begins with Bugs and Daffy receiving a notice that their rent is due soon, but they don't have enough money to pay for it. In an attempt to rectify the situation, Bugs suggests that they both get jobs. However, Daffy is hesitant and feels like he is too talented to work a regular job.
As they are discussing their options, the two come across a sign advertising a job opening at a local grocery store. Bugs decides to apply for the job, but when Daffy sees the manager of the store is Porky Pig, he changes his mind and follows Bugs into the store.
Porky Pig, the manager of the store, is at first hesitant to hire Bugs and Daffy, but after Bugs shows off his impressive grocery bagging skills, Porky agrees to hire them both as baggers. Bugs and Daffy begin their first day on the job, but their competitive natures lead to a series of mishaps that result in broken bottles and spilled produce, causing chaos in the store.
Their destructive behavior eventually becomes too much for Porky, and he fires both Bugs and Daffy. As they leave the store, they come across a billboard advertising a theater performance with a grand prize of $500. Bugs and Daffy decide to audition for the play, but once they arrive, they realize that the grand prize is actually $50 and they have been swindled.
To make matters worse, they are now stuck in a performance they don't want to be a part of and end up embarrassing themselves on stage. As they exit the theater, they come across a man with a small business idea. Bugs and Daffy decide to invest their remaining money into the business, only to find out that the idea was a scam and they have lost all their money.
Feeling defeated, they return to their home and find an eviction notice on their door. However, as they are packing up their belongings, Porky Pig arrives and offers them both their jobs back at the grocery store. With no other options, Bugs and Daffy accept the offer and return to work at the store.
