For my money there has never been and may never be better humor in any medium than Looney Toons.
Absolute genius on every level.
Those folks out back in the termite terrace left a legacy of excellence that I never get tired of. I’m chucklin right now thinking of that femmy bullfighter looking left into the camera and flaring that nostril in all his prissified glory.
That’s a hilarious episode when bugs fighting the bull. I wish I can find it.[/quote]

I love Looney Tunes. I have all the golden collection DVD’s. There’s very few things that come close to matching their level of comedy and humor.
I wonder how many hours of my childhood were spent watching Looney Toons?
I remember getting excited about going to the zoo to see a real tasmanian devil, and I was so disappointed that it wasn’t anything like Taz; no twirling around in a whirlwind or nuthin’!
I used to have a really cool t-shirt with a close-up of Taz that said FEED ME!

Now that I think about it, Taz might have been abusing steroids. Not only is he unusually bulky for a tasmanian devil, he’s in a constant state of 'roid rage!
Since no one has mentioned the infamous “Censored 11”, I reckoned I’d chime in on the subject. I have most, but not all, of these banned toons on tape, and converted them to DVD for my own collection.
Were not for the “sensitive” content, these all remain rib ticking hilarious, but you can see how the racial stuff could be misused by those with evil intent.
I enjoy the the WW2 propaganda stuff like the “racy” Private SNAFU series designed for the Military, which included a lot of T&A and “cussing”, “Herr vs. Herr” with Bugs vs. Hermann Goering, “Bugs Nips the Nips” with Mel Blanc using his his voice to great effect: and having Bugs saying some shocking things(!), and “Russian Rhapsody”, the one with Hitler vs. the Gremlins while on a bombing mission will leave you ROTFL!.
As for the specific “Censored 11”, I have to agree that the “So-White and the Sebben” is an audio/visual masterpiece not to be missed if you have the brainpower to detach yourself from the stereotypes. I actually remember seeing, and being terrified by “Sunday go to Meetin time” as a little kid, when they still ran these things on TV(!). Info on these can be found at:

By all accounts the LT crew didn’t have an actual racist bone in their bodies. They made fun of EVERYBODY including Jews even though a bunch were Jewish. It was goofball fun, and yes it was and is fun.
I don’t care what anybody tries to tell me. If people today could take the same less than mortally serious view of such things when they’re in a truly non hateful context, we’d all be a lot better off.

I like people like that. No sense doing a half assed job and only making fun of a select group.

I can’t recall the name of this particular one, but it’s starring a flea. At one point the dog starts dragging his itchy ass around the room’s rug, then stops, looks at the viewer and says, “I better cut this out before I start liking it.” LOL
Now THAT wasn’t meant for kids to understand. LOL[/quote]
I sing the song the flea sang (gold around the corner, gold around the corner…some say it’s food, some say gold) to my son all the time.
LOVE this thread! I haven’t seen some of these cartoons in years! (Bunker Hill Bunny especially…)
Rabbit, Duck, Rabbit! What’s Opera Doc, and Rabbit of Seville are some of the best writing to ever come out of the industry (entertainment industry as a whole, not just cartoons…)
Search for all of the unPC toons from back in the day…especially Inky and the so called ‘anti-Japanese’ toons.

The plain old fashioned sense of timeless humor is the key coupled with their ability to bring all aspects of it to life on the screen. Those cartoons are absolutely hilarious even today.
I can’t even type a post in this thread with laughing to myself thinking about them. I have HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS of these and they never get old even though I have them memorized.
