Superman - Japoteurs (1942, World War 2 american propaganda)

[happosai27]

lol a wonder lois could survive this long without superman. seems like shes doing something incredibly dangerously stupid every 10 mins

[GSPatton89]

2 people stupidly shouted "BANZAI!" at 8:12

[GSPatton89]

Looks like Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose on steroids

[joemoe23]

Superman was a creation of the control system. They give you your heroes and villains. People still think that when they watch any type of media that it's there for their entertainment. Not the case. It's there for your programming and downloading.

[Christhefireshark]

@joemoe23 Uparanoidbro? Media companies create what will sell... nothing more, nothing less.

[Nemeres]

And to think Superman could belong to Paramount.

[LucaC1993]

Wonderful!

[ahoyhoy79]

i reckon superman was really a closet commie. i mean why else didn't he go over to tokyo and lay the smack-down on hirohito? ;)

[philipbabb]

@ahoyhoy79 How would being a closet commie discourage him from taking down the Axis? The Soviet Union, the real commies, also faught against the Axis in WW2.

[jaymthegenius]

Goku pwns Superman. 

[CapitalistOverlord]

A plane that launches other planes? FUND IT!

[paullubliner]

@CapitalistOverlord The Goblin launched from a B36 in 1947 failed.

[666deadman1988]

THAT PLANE IS FUCKING MASSIVE!

[paullubliner]

@666deadman1988 Uh it's a CARTOON!

[BankaiIchigo12345]

Strong enough to STOP A FALLING PLANE, yet NOT strong enough to knock down the cockpit door with one hit?! What's this stupidity?!

[SuperFly1077]

@BankaiIchigo12345 haha so true. I think he just needed time to warm up his HAX :)

[Hayri2011]

You think they made the plane big enough?

[MasterMacLeod]

@Hayri2011 One wonders why they never mass produced this.

[cheeseKILLS]

lol at superman having trouble opening the cockpit door

[MasterMacLeod]

@cheeseKILLS Yeah, you would think he would be walking through that fucking door like if it was made of... cardboard.

[Shenruss]

oh comr on now, that bwas FLIGHT! He DID NOT JUMP OFF ANYTHING IN MID AIR! THAT was FLIGHT!

[Silvermoth2]

Fasinating...

[miketallica665]

WHERE CAN I GET JUST THE OPENING TO THIS?!

[legoman762005]

wow, they don't make cartoons like this any more

[DavidTRichard]

Irony is that Superman was created by two Canadians, haha

[Shenruss]

@DavidTRichard Actaully, they were American...just JEWISH Americans who had little to do with the wars then.

[DavidTRichard]

@Shenruss Well you're right, Shuster was born in Toronto but moved to Ohio when he was 10, and Siegel was from Ohio. Both were Jewish.

[verlox]

@DavidTRichard  Actually, only Shuster was Canadian. Siegel was born in Ohio.

[o0zeroeffect0o]

@DavidTRichard wrong. only one was a canadian and he grew up in ohio all his life. and siegel was an american jew also from ohio. like everyone else in america. we were all immigrants once.

[FireStormBaller]

@DavidTRichard Wrong, they were created by Jews.

[sampheonix]

i luv vintage ladies

[Fawful5]

I love how comical the villains always are in these shorts. I absolutely can't take someone seriously when he wears a hat that ridiculous looking.

[SwedenSupport]

Damn, he looks like Tom Hanks!

[tropaR]

veeeeeery good quality.

thx from Brazil

[VTwinty]

Love how they drew the Japanese here, does not look anything stereotypical about them here.

[BankaiIchigo12345]

@VTwinty

Except for those 2 big front teeth (smaller than in silly cartoons like Bugs Bunny, but you can still see the stereotype carried over here).

[daveyvang]

I used to own this on VHS. Brings back so many memories of being 4.
