Nyaaaah, What's Up, Doc?

[Big RR]

Exiting the phone booth as a marine--"It looks like it's time for a real Superman. Sorry boys, I've got no time to play; I've got work to do", marching off toward Tokyo with the soundtrack of the Marine Hymn.

He also became a "bomb tester" in one of the gremlin cartoons ("and just think, in 20 years I can retire").

But if you ever get a chance, try and get some DVDs of the War Year cartoons; very interesting to see the cartoon characters fighting stereotyped germans and Japanese (Hell, Popeye could flip Japanese subs by grabbing their (stereotypically slanted eye) periscopes and flipping them the same way he flipped Bluto.

Don't forget 'Gremlins from the Kremlin'! AKA 'Russian Rhapsody'

I lurves Bugs, he's the man! Ok, rabbit.

[The Hen]

Oh you evil wench... lessee



Can you say That about your hero?

Yes!

There were NO FART JOKES in the Flintstones.

Don't you dis the Flints.

[loCAtek]

There was the 'Wraparound Background' which didn't fool me, even as a wee locita.

[The Hen]

I remember picking up on that too. (I thikn we all must have.)

But god I loved it.



When I didn't know the words the the theme tune I used to sing the following:

Flintstones, meet the Flintstones,
they're a modern sort of family.

From the town they bed-walked,
They're a page right out of history

Let´s ride with the family down the street
Wilma, will you see if Fred's asleep?

When you´re with the Flintstones
Have a yabba dabba doo time

A dabba doo time
We´ll have a gay old time

[@meric@nwom@n]

I never cared overly much for the Flintstones. My husband laughs like Barney though.

[Big RR]

Barney rubble I hope, not Barney the Dinosaur.

[loCAtek]

Co-inky-dinky, the voice of Bugs and Barney are the same; Mel Blanc!

[Big RR]

Really? How could Blanc sink so low?

[Timster]

She meant Barney Rubble...

[The Hen]

Loved the Rubs. He was my favourite.

Loved his song for Wilma and Fred on their Anniversary.

Hen I actually sing that to me mates on their anniversary.

Hey, remember the character 99 Keys? And who was that little alien bastard? Kazoo?

Fuck me pink~ That's when cartoons were cartoons. Don't get me started. Too LATE! *Grin*

Ok New thread...

[The Hen]

See. See.

The Flintstones weren't FART jokes.

The Flintstones was loyalty and friendship.



I loved them so, (though I was too young to have watched the Honeymooners on which it was based.)

[Timster]

[hi-jack alert*] Hen, I tried to find you some episodes of the Honeymooners on Hulu but no luck.

However I did find this clip which I thought was rather amusing:

*Hey, if I can't hi-jack my own thread, who can?

[The Hen]

Cool.

I really must catch up with more Honeymooners episodes fer-real.

I do love seeing the change of attitudes throughout comedy. I must admit it is a lot easier to accept a character like Ralph as a cartoon Fred than a person.
