Another thing to keep in mind is that Tex Avery said he never made a cartoon for children. Even when he was creating characters like Bugs Bunny at Warner Bros he always had adult audiences in mind.

Well, that’s the thing; back then, Cartoons were viewed by people of all ages, not just kids. The reason for this was because of the Hayes’ Code, which was done to have people self-censor anything from being too racy, which was a fancy word to describe something that’s sexually titillating.

It's astounding that Tex Avery could pack so many gags into just seven or eight minutes, and he didn't care who he made fun of, something we have completely lost now.

As a child growing up in the 70’s and 80’s, this has always been my favorite cartoon.

4:54 The way these cartoons were made involved a projector, and sometimes a stray hair would fall on the projector and appear on a few concurrent slides shifting around like that. Here, they took a second to acknowledge it.

This joke is also an improvement over Tex’s previous time he does the hair gag; the last time he did that joke, an Irishman was singing “When Irish Eyes are Smiling”, and he got irritated that there’s a hair in the film, demanding someone to remove it. Butch in this short was not agitated, but he removed the hair himself.

I know some of these old cartoons used stereotypes in them but as a Hispanic I was always able to laugh at them because everybody got made fun of. I still laugh at "Speedy Gonzalez" and the two Mexican Crows that Looney Toons had. Hillbillies got made fun of, New York accented characters, "Pepe Le Pew" covered the French lover stereotype. "Porky Pig" stuttered and "Daffy Duck" had a lisp. Laughter disarms hate and prejudice when we all do it. Great work once again! These cartoons make me laugh out loud.

@@atrain818 Nope, the crows in question were indeed from Looney Tunes from two shorts, "Two Crows from Tacos" and "Crows Feat." Their names were Manuel and Jose and were later recycled into Depatie-Freleng studios Tijuana Toads characters.

The dancer with the fruit hat is the legendary CARMEN MIRANDA, with her own voice! The black ink in the face gag is a parody of Bill Kenny from the Ink Spots. Poochini's voice after being hit by the anvil is a parody of Ink Spots' bass, "Hoppy" Jones (parodying the Ink Spots' "Top & Bottom" format). This is a reflecting and mocking parody and satire of the entertainers and entertainment of the time, not different than Seth MacFarlane's and Matt Groening's, in fact, just like these latter two, everyone from everywhere here is mocked, no bias. A vintage masterpiece of comedy, a hilarious piece of history.

The gag about the underwear as the spoofed Carmen Miranda was singing is in fact based on a well-known (in Hollywood circles especially) embarrassing moment she had a few years earlier. She had finished her scenes on a film for the day, and retired to her dressing room to undress and wind down. But some publicity photographers showed up on the set, and CM was to be in the photos. She got dressed but for whatever reason did not put her panties back on. Some of the pictures were to be staged "action" or "moving" shots to highlight the film's appeal, so she was being lifted and swung around by her co-star. At least one photograph taken very plainly and clearly revealed she had nothing on under her costume dress. This episode became a not-too-well hidden secret and is a part of old Hollywood lore.

The bit where the tenor stops to pull the flickering hair from the bottom of the screen caused confusion. When this was originally run in movie houses, the projectionist actually tried to get the "floating hair" out of the projector not knowing it was part of the joke.

@ 5:45 was typical of a lot of animators from different studios, but the main difference here is that the two "blackface" stereotypes are actually characterizations of Bill Kenny from the group the ink spots and then bass singer for the group, "Hoppy" Jones respectively Additionally, the ink spots sang the song "If I didn't care".

I’ve heard that it was also a reference to “The Ink Spots”.

I think the blackface moment was specifically a shout out to to the Ink Spots, and well as a pun that flew over my head until now. Not a good look today, but at the very least, it was to serve a purpose for the physical comedy.

This is nothing but pure comic Mayhem provided by the Undisputed king of animation, Tex Avery!! Yeah, some elements of the comedy then maybe seem controversial now, but back then, nothing was off-limits. However, there was no swearing or anything sexual, which makes it even more awesome.

You can also find this cartoon on an old movie called The Belle Of New York in the special features

They FINALLY released this, uncut, on DVD? This is my ABSOLUTE Favorite 😍 Tex Avery cartoon, no matter how many times I saw it as a kid, I would die laughing 😝 But I got so furious that i could not find it on DVD, I went as far as to buy a refurbished Laser Disc player and the portion of the Tex Avery collection it was released on in 1990. That was five years ago. So NOW they found their balls enough to release it. The pop culture caricature stereotypes are ACROSS THE BOARD. He was poking EVERYONE, in good fun, equally. There’s the Washington Irving cowboy spoof, for example. Furthermore, Chinese immigrant families continued to dress, locally anyway, traditionally, well into the 1920s, by and large, as Avery would have seen them when he was a kid passing through China Town.

Nice reaction to this cartoon Inika. I used to have this one on tape when I was a kid.

It...hasn't aged well in a few places. Personally I don't think any real malice was intended and curiously the "black face" bit was apparently kind of shout out to the Ink Spots, a popular African American group at the time. Make of that what you will. But yeah, watching it now requires some explaining of context and standards of the time. With all that said though the physical humor never gets old and one thing that always amuses me about about those old cartoons is how many of us were introduced to classical music and opera through them. Kind of funny to think something so "low brow" was actually giving us a kind of musical education and we never realized it till we were older. Glad you enjoyed it though and hope you find others that make you laugh. Pound for pound Tex Avery was kind of a maestro himself when it came to animation and his style and wit was both easily recognized and rarely boring. :)

And by the time I grew up in the 70s and 80s, I wasn’t always sure if they were roasting actual people except the classic movie greats (my mom was a movie buff), so in this case I knew Carmen Miranda was being roasted 😂 I didn’t know about the black singers, however, I thought they were just doing stereotypes, which was just a sign of the times of when this cartoon was made. Definitely a classic, glad to see it uncut again! So many great parts, but my favorite has got to be the part where he’s singing, “A tisket, a tasket…” 🤣
