This is because it is natural that when a toon dies in slapstick cartoons, their ghost would appear, but a toon getting "dipped" would cause them to die in the normal way, without a visible spirit, because all of their paint would be lost, including that of a toon ghost. Smartass is the only weasel whose soul never appeared.Like the names of his fellow weasels, this name perfectly fits Smartass the weasel's smug and sarcastic personality, as well as him being smart but not as smart as he thinks. In etymology, Smartass is a rude way to refer to someone who is smug, sarcastic and generally acts as if they know everything.Smartass also appears in the ride itself.
to put Benny the Cab out of "contrition" ("commission") to stop Roger from leaving Toontown. In the related ride Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin, here referred to under the bowdlerized name Wise Guy, he can be heard at two points discussing his plans to get rid of Roger Rabbit, such as when Smartass orders Psycho to head to the Toontown Cab Co. His boss himself would meet this fate shortly afterwards. Upon pointing out a mistake with the lyrics in the song that Eddie "entertains" the weasels with, Eddie kicks him in the crotch, sending him flying into the mixer on the Dip machine, where he dissolves and dies, not even getting a ghost. He is the third weasel to die at the end of the film, even though he does not lose control of his laughter like the others. He is Judge Doom's second-in-command and the co-leader of the Toon Patrol. Smartass is the secondary antagonist in the film. He is also shown to commit frequent malapropisms, such as when he says that a tip on Roger's whereabouts has been "corrugated" ("corroborated") by several sources, ordering his henchmen to leave no stone "interned" ("unturned") when telling them to search in Eddie's office for Roger, or when he asks his boss Judge Doom if they should "disresemble" ("disassemble") the bar in search of Roger. Furthermore, because of the fact that he is the most serious member, he is also much more ruthless as he clearly takes more pleasure than his men when tormenting others. However, like them, he still enjoys a good laugh himself, though he still remains the most serious member in spite of his occasional wisecracking. He is also quite abusive towards the other weasels when they laugh at something funny. While he is very antagonistic in the film, he seems to care about the other members of the Toon Patrol, being the first one to warn them about what will happen to them if they do not control their laughter.
Though very sarcastic and contemptuous fitting the definition of his name, Smartass is the straight-man of the group, possessing the most intelligence and self-control and the least "Toonish" attitude. He does not appear to have a smoking addiction like Wheezy, but he does occasionally smoke cigars, as shown in his first appearance. However, in the bar scene, he is shown threatening Eddie with a switchblade.
He wears a buttoned-up light pink double-breasted zoot suit jacket with a gold chain in the left pocket, a white dress shirt with a hot pink bejeweled tie, matching hat, and spats on his feet. He has brown fur, sharp yellow teeth, and a black nose. Smartass is ranked a sergeant by Judge Doom.
