[ninadroz2010]

i'm working on a 10-minute extended video of just the dog running xD

[TeamRocket2010]

This is airing on Boomerang after The New Scooby Doo Movies today!

[Fozzymillow]

This dog is exactly what my labrador was like. The size of his heart made up for the size of his head =3

[LucaC1993Production]

These were the real cartoons!!! Not those from nowadays, goddamn! Thanks for this!

[danj1701d]

I love how the dog runs, with the hind legs coming up over his head.

[doobiesmoke15]

I love that St.Bernard Willoughby,he has to be the dumbest cartoon dog of all time!

[remotecontrolp51]

3:40 is what y'all came for!

[JoeyWagner2011]

This is super funny!!!!!!

[JoeyWagner2011]

This is super funny!!!

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

The opening scene was excerpted in the 1952 Bugs Bunny cartoon "Foxy by Proxy."

[Gundamknight100]

Sucker!!! Fell for the same trick twice!

[PinkFloydrulez]

it kind of blows my mind that this is from 1940.

[Julesbobabbins]

Does anybody know what cartoon has Ma and Pa possum in it with Jr. out hanging by his tail a peeling taters??? I have looked everywhere and can't find it... love that cartoon.

[glowworm2]

@Julesbobabbins "Sleepy Time Possum"

[StephensStuff]

Oh shit! The name is a play on words!

[outlawscribe]

I hate it when my computer edits my posts for me. What I was trying to say was that the way the character says "Huh George?" is not something you can get from the book. D'OH!

[outlawscribe]

@Sam563, not to be picky myself, but the VOICE used by the dog is directly inspired by the movie, which is what I was more referring to rather than the storyline. The way that dog (and various other Looney Toons characters) says " not something you can get from the book, which yes, I am highly aware was penned by Steinbeck. As a former English Lit lecturer, I can appreciate where you're coming from, but you really can't expect perfect essays from posts on YouTube.

[PJBearstein]

A fursuit at 3:20, too bad there were no furry cons in 1940.

[TheMasksRevenge]

Tex Avery FTW

[kimiisadorable]

the dog runs really funny

[TwinGleeks101]

Some would say Willoughby was out-FOXED

[fromthesidelines]

The original credits (not seen in the "Blue Ribbon" reissue) was a parody of the draft numbers picked in the first "peacetime" military draft in the United States in 1940, before our country entered World War II. "Draft No. 158" was the first number chosen {that's why it's "too bad" for him}.

[TsubasaAngels]

does someone know the name of the music at the beginning of the episode? but it is not the looney toon's intro

[guitargczr699]

"I'm the guy that's gonna catch the fox because I know every tree in this forest every single tree" *BAM* "there's one now" ROFL!

[dogooda]

Thats bugs bunny haha

[GetTheHook]

The mentally handicapped dog sure has a strange way of running.

[TheHuMoCa]

Reminds me alot of my beagle :P

It's George and Lennie!

Of Mice and Men is a great book.

[edgarcarrillo0]

"Of Mice and Men" is actually a book, it should not be remembered by that pretty crappy movie..

[edgarcarrillo0]

"of mice and men" was originally a book not a movie dipshites!

[glowworm2]

Funny how "George" sounds a lot like Bugs Bunny--actually that very same year "A Wild Hare" was made--Bug's first outing.

I love the music everytime the dog runs.

Also loved it when the dog forgets his name.

[TheLegendaryDelta]

@glowworm2 same voice so it would make sence

[outlawscribe]

The "George" came from the movie "Of Mice and Men", the version with Burgess Meredith as George. I never could watch the whole movie cuz it always broke my heart, but that is indeed where it comes from!

[cikician]

@outlawscribe Yeap, you're right, that's why i did say "partly" because some people heard this phrase on Of Fox and Hounds, which sounds hilarious said by Willoughby the Dog.

[sam563]

@outlawscribe It came from the book 'Of Mice and Men, ' not the movie. I don't mean to be a picky butt, but I am sick of my students saying, "Oh, I saw that movie," when I mention a novel in class. They don't read. It's Bradbury's nightmare of 451 coming true.

[SamPD2]

@sam563 Meh, what do you expect?

We live in a generation where books are now not the only mediem of entertainment.

But hey, 1up to you if you actually had the honor of reading it.

Some of us young'uns still read you know!

[sam563]

@SamPD2 I expect more, a lot more. Books were not the only medium of entertainment in the 80s when I grew up. It wasn't a "sit around the radio" time period. What's the result of people being entertained by something other than books? Well, the United States is ranked educationally 35th in the world. I'm glad you read. You are becoming the exception, not the rule. :(

[dannysquirrel]

@outlawscribe It was a book before it was a movie. So that would be where the name, George comes from. The book by John Steinbeck. 

[TashPointOh96]

@outlawscribe movie? I think not. It was from the short story written by John Steinbeck that they made into a movie. Read the book. Its much better. Also the movie left out important metaphors and some important plot points.

[arew234]

@outlawscribe thanks!

[BriDo4520]

Awww it's so cute! So funny!! Where did it go george? Where did it go?
