As explained by Chuck Jones, the demeanor of Bugs Bunny when he delivers his classic line "What's up, Doc?" is meant to emulate what actor?

The inspiration behind the way Bugs Bunny delivers his line, complete with carrot in hand, is from the Clark Gable film It Happened One Night. As it happens, the legendary WB animator Friz Freleng loved the Gable film and actually incorporated many references to it when animating Bugs.
