contents We give two new elementary proofs of the complete Kobayashi hyperbolicity of the twice-punctured complex plane. We also present an extremely short proof that bounded domains are complete Kobayashi hyperbolic. Our proofs rely neither on the fact that the universal cover of the twice-punctured plane is the disk nor on the existence of negatively curved metrics. As applications, we present concise proofs of the classical theorems of Landau, Schottky, and Picard. Finally, we provide a characterization of Kobayashi hyperbolicity for planar domains inspired by a similar result of Hahn.
