"Thugs with Dirty Mugs" probably used it too, but it's not known due to it being among the 13 Blue Ribbons released in the program's first release season of 1943-44 (reissued June 3, 1944 to be exact).
I expected the knife-thrower to throw the knives close around the subject, then turn to the audience and say in disgust and embarrassment "I just didn't have the heart this time".
Believe It or Else is a parody of Ripley's Believe It or Not. Ripley would travel everywhere looking for amazing facts. One time he found a horse that was born without any front legs!
Yep, that's them in close harmony, too; The Sportsmen Quartet were often heard in various Warner Bros. cartoons from 1939 through '42 [in my opinion, their best performance was "My High Polished Nose" {"My Wild Irish Rose"} in Friz Freleng's "Lights Fantastic" (1942)].
The Sportsmen (later famous as part of Jack Benny's radio show, singing his sponsor's Lucky Strike "comedy commercials") are the singing voices of the trio affiliated with the "Major Bowes Unit #73" [when someone appearing on the Major's "ORIGINAL AMATEUR HOUR" on radio won the evening's competition, and was extremely popular, Bowes often invited the winner(s) to become part of one of his "travelling units" that performed in theaters across the country].
This is a parody of Ripley's Believe It or Not, which was one of the msot popular comic strips and radio programs ever (and is still extremely popular today). Check it out online you might find some interesting websites, as well as the location of the Ripley Museum nearest to you.
This is the "politically corrected" censored version, The scene tha was missing was inbetween the ants & the magician about athe "birth" of a baby with two porters opening up a curtian & showing a baby in a "BERTH' in the passenger car of a train!
Even edited here, @8 minutes 24 seconds [typed as such so as to avoid the accidental time point ending since I'm not trying to link to a point in the video] this short is still pretty long. Technicolor[tm] MM shorts seemed to get to be longer than the B&W shorts ["Goofy Groceries" is 9 minutes and "Porky's Bear Facts" 7 iun those respective series, for a double bill 3/29/41 for an instance.]
Whoa...wonder how that got past the Hayes Code upon its initial release? But then, there are a *lot* of Warner cartoon gags that somehow managed to slip past the Code, especially in Clampett's work!

There was also a scene where the bearth of a baby is shown(On a train)..which is cut out due to the racsit depiction of two black train porters.
