You've Got Hate Mail is the 28th episode of The Looney Tunes Show.
Plot
Following Tina after writing an e-mail to Copy Place's manager and then deleting it as a way of venting, Daffy accidentally sends an insulting e-mail to Bugs and everyone (except for Porky) he knows in which he tells them in "great detail" what is wrong with them.He mentions in the e-mails that Witch Lezah wasn't scary and Speedy shouldn't be called Speedy. Yosemite Sam also receives the email, but instead of angering him it inspires him to change his ways.
Meanwhile, Lola wants Bugs to be in the family photo of her family. A scuffle with Daffy revolving around the e-mail he sent ends up accidentally chipping Bugs' tooth. Dr. Weisberg tells Bugs that it will take a week to have the tooth fixed while also mentioning to him on what Daffy said about him in the e-mail he got. Lola ends up planning to cancel the family photo only for Bugs to continue the family photo and she drives off.
Daffy thinking about Tina's reaction to his email.
Daffy eventually learns that Tina never checked her e-mail due to her manager doubling her shift. On the promise that he will send him an email on his feelings of him like he had everyone else Daffy enlists Porky Pig to sneak into Tina's house and delete the e-mail before she gets home. Daffy's idea of sneaking isn't very subtle as he throws Porky through Tina's window so he could unlock the door. At the dude ranch, Lola tells her parents that they should hold the picture somewhere else as she doesn't want Bugs' appearance to ruin the family tradition, She explains to them that Bugs won't be coming as he fell down a well. However shortly after Bugs shows up in his car and Lola commandeers the horse drawn carriage that her parents are in, and tries to escape.
When Tina comes home to find Daffy and Porky in her apartment, Daffy hastily tries to explain that he had Porky come over with him to make her dinner given his catering job, Tina notices a pile of broken glass next to the window but Daffy insists that she is just hallucinating because she is tired from work. Daffy tries to buy himself more time to crack her password by convincing Tina to take a bath and relax. Minutes later he gets into her email and is about to delete the email when he notices a suspicious email from someone named Micheal. He opens it and begins snooping through the message coming to the conclusion that Tina is cheating on him. Talking aloud to himself he alerts Tina as to what he's doing, who barges out of the bathroom, Tina reminds Daffy that Micheal is her brother who Daffy had met before (And apparently forgot). She then kicks him off her computer, opens Daffy's email and begins reading it aloud. Daffy sits beside her terrified of what she might do to him, as she reads his message specified to her, Calling her a Psychopath amongst other things. She continues reading it to find that in the end of the message Daffy says that he is grateful to have a girlfriend "As kind, beautiful, generous and intelligent" as Tina. She turns over to a cowering Daffy who is covering his eyes and expecting a beat-down from Tina, and tells him that she loves him, Daffy is shocked and asks her if she isn't going to kill him after all and that he's off the hook. She then inquires about the catering that Porky was supposedly there for, and they turn into the kitchen to see Porky posing as a very unconvincing roasted pig, complete with an apple stuck in his mouth.
The new Yosemite Sam blinking.
Bugs catches up to them as Walter discovers that his tooth is chipped. Bugs bails from his car (which now unpiloted crashes into a tree and explodes into a huge fireball) and fights with Lola over control of the horses carrying the wagon, in the altercation the horses break free and the wagon flies off a cliff and crashes, the next scene shows all four in the family photo, all with broken teeth and everyone is smiling except for Lola, apparently the only one who didn't enjoy herself, scowling.
Later that night, Daffy accidentally deletes the hate mail to Porky and since he hasn't sent an apology letter to everyone else, Granny arrives at the house and punches Daffy in the gut for his original email earlier that day. Bugs assures Daffy that "Time heals all wounds", just as Daffy had said earlier when explaining how people will react to his nasty messages.
In the final scene, Yosemite Sam is hosting a book club at his home, surrounded by annoying patrons he finally snaps, leaving the room and coming back as his old nasty cowboy self. Before promptly kicking everyone out and tossing the books at them for good measure.

Quotes
- Patricia: I am so happy that Lola found you.
Bugs: No matter where I hide she always does. - Patricia: Lola, what was the name of your imaginary friend?
Lola: (talking to her imaginary friend beside her) Well, if you're gonna be like that, I'm not going to invite you to dinner anymore. - (After Bugs drops Lola off to her apartment)
Lola: Please, I promise, I will never, ever ask you another favor.
Bugs: (annoyed) Fine.
Lola: Yay. Oh, quick favor. Can you drive Piper home? She lives really close. (Talking to her imaginary friend) Piper, you good back there or you wanna sit up front? She's good back there. - Lola: Huh? Oh, no. Hmm, no. Heh. No, we cancelled the photo. We cancelled it. Um, this stuff was all here when I got here, just lying out when I got here. Must be Daffy's.
(Bugs is still not impressed about what she's trying to say)
Bugs: You cancelled the photo?
Lola: You know, I just start thinking. Family photo are dumb. You don't... You don't need to know who's in your family, right? You know already for your whole life. You know who your family is. - Bugs: I'm gonna be in that photo.
Lola: (angrily) Oh, no, you're not. You don't even know where we're taking it and you'll never find us.
(He calls her dad)
Lola: Who are you calling?
Bugs: (Talking to her dad over the phone) Walter! Bugs. (She gasps) So looking forward to the family photo. Where are we taking it again? (winks at her)
Lola: (gasps) Oh,no, you're not.
Bugs: (continues talking over phone) Oh, that's right. The dude ranch. See you there, partner.
Walter: (laughs over phone) Ah, partner. (Hangs up)
Lola: You are not gonna be in that photo! (Takes the cowboy outfits and tries to run away from him)
Bugs: (yelling at her) Oh, I'm gonna be in that photo! And not only am I gonna be in it. I'm gonna be smiling so big, all you'll see is this broken, gnarled, jacked-up tooth! - Tina: What are you doing?
Daffy: Who's Michael?
Tina: What?
Daffy: Do not play dumb with me. I read the email from Michael.
Tina: Michael's my brother. You met him?
Daffy: Oh, right.
(Tina sits beside him and looks at her laptop)
Tina: What's this?
Daffy: Don't look at that!
Tina: Is this the e-mail you were talking about?
Daffy: I can't look!
Tina: Man, this is long. Foghorn, Speedy. Woah, you really laid into those gophers. Oh, here we go. (reading e-mail) I know I've said a lot of terrible things about a lot of terrible people. But, I've saved the terribleist for my girlfriend, Tina.
(Daffy cringes)
Tina: (continues reading the e-mail) I have known many deranged people in my life, but I've never encountered the kind of profound mental instability that she possesses. Tina Russo is a psychopath.
Daffy: It's worse than I thought!
Tina: (continues reading e-mail) She may have everyone fooled, but I know the truth. Why else would the kindest, (Tina starts to smile) most beautiful, generous, and intelligent woman in the world, go out with someone like me?
(Tina turns to Daffy, smiling, while he cowers in fear)
Tina: I love you.
Daffy: What? You're not gonna kill me?
Tina: Ehh, call me "crazy."
Daffy: Actually, I called you a psychopath. - Daffy: (opens the door and sees granny) Oh hey Grandma (Granny who was angered the email punches Daffy in the the gut and walks away.)
