That's all folks became the signature closing line of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons, traditionally spoken at the end of each short as the series logo appeared. Bugs Bunny, introduced in 1940, became the character most closely associated with the farewell, often munching a carrot while delivering it. The phrase spread beyond television into memes, video edits and reaction clips, where it works as a universally understood signal that a story is over. Its longevity comes from that simplicity: audiences recognise the ending instantly, even without seeing the cartoon itself.

The classic Bugs Bunny sign-off from Looney Tunes, with the famous That's all folks line closing the cartoon, used to end videos, memes and streams.
This clip captures the closing moment of a classic Looney Tunes cartoon, when Bugs Bunny steps forward, delivers the familiar That's all folks farewell and the music swells behind him. The voice is warm, cheeky and instantly recognisable, with the playful brass and orchestral sting giving it a theatrical, curtain-call feel. It sounds like the end of a show rather than just a line of dialogue, which is why it lands so well as a punchline. Hearing it triggers instant nostalgia for Saturday-morning cartoons, while also signalling clearly that something is finished, wrapped up or over for good.
