Saturday Morning Cartoons
May 26th, 2007 at 10:18 am by CrankyRemember getting up Saturday morning before mom and dad were up and watching the Warner Bros. cartoons? I know some of you geeks were watching Space Ghost and others weren’t awake until the live action shows like Land of the Lost were on.
But the best in my opinion were the ones that used to be shown in movie theaters before the main attraction. You know the ones – they had slapstick for the kids but plenty of grown-up references woven in to keep everybody entertained.
Junkyard Blog posts this cartoon from another era. Might as well be from a different planet too. Note the unashamed lack of political correctness and the blatant propaganda.
Get your bowl of Froot Loops and enjoy.
UPDATE (PTH):
Outstanding catch, Cranky. So much so that we have to post it here as well. It’s amazing how the appeasers haven’t changed in 60+ years. Watch it before Google takes it down, because they’re a bunch of leftist, PC pussies and you know they will. Thanks, JYB.

Even as a kid, I was a big Humphrey Bogart far…so my favorite cartoon of all time is the Looney Tunes classic 8-Ball Bunny. Alas, youtube has pulled it…the only remant is this clip here.
But I saw something on “Adult Swim” on the Cartoon Network I had never seen before…here is Bugs vs. Hitler.

Boy, you said it, Cranky. The Looney Tunes (and old Popeyes) seriously damaged influenced my infantile sense of humor, which I’ve had since I was an infant.

Uh, I don’t think you’re allowed to call leftists ‘pussies’. It’s not pc.
You’d better just apologize and get it over with.

My favorite one from Porky Pig:

(Of course I never saw that one on a Saturday morning.)

Some of us geeks were watching Captain Marvel (Shazam!) and Isis (Oh, mighty Isis!) fight evil and hoping they’d eventually hook up.

Thanks Michele…I used to watch Fat Albert when I was a kid…but I missed this episode…
We should do Saturday Morning Cartoon discussions every Saturday…

I always loved catching the syndicated Little Rascals shows but they are all but banned from network tv nowadays.
Rosa Parks isn’t fit to sit on the same bus as Buckwheat. He was the pioneer. She just came along for the ride.
More on the banned cartoons here.

Being politically correct about racial stereotyping sucks.
My favorite movie as a child was Song of the South. At age 5 the aspect of Uncle Remus being an oppressed black man on a plantation never even occurred to me. I just thought of him as a warm, friendly story teller. I loved that man, his stories and his songs.
Now that movie is buried forever, unless I want to purchase a European video player and buy a bootleg copy of the video for about $65…
