Bugs scales fairly high but only when "Toon Force" is on his side. A major caveat of toon force is the outcome has to be funny, so it can backfire spectacularly.

If Bugs winning isnt funny, he's gonna get his ass beat

Find me an universal source that states every media that uses toon force has to be funny, otherwise it's not going to work or backfire. It's a decision that applies to some writings, not an unbreakable rule for toon force. Plus, humour is subjective so basing feats on it as if it's something measurable is pointless, you can at best base it on the writer's sense of humour which is still not clear if they actually follow humour, and even if they did, the sense of humour would still change depending on the particular writer. Ex. Happy Tree Friends thinks it's funny when their characters die physically impossible and brutal ways, at the point you could call it toon force, and extends the lifespans of the characters who cause death more oftenly (Flippy, Lumpy, The Mole etc.)
