Betty Boop Cartoon Banned For Drug Use 1934

[mrsemmycupcake]

O.O...........................­.

[CaptainMaund]

Reminds my of Evil Dead

[TheBoxfitter]

You have to admit that the Fleischer brothers and their crew of animators had wonderful senses of imagination.

[theolay]

People are getting their facts wrong. Nitrous Oxide is not a powerful drug... its a fag drug. And in England at least people dont source it from whipped cream... they just buy it.

[Goves83]

xD 5:46

[theosaka69]

The laughing clock, tombstones and ink well - Creepy as hell...

[theosaka69]

@theosaka69 And the pliers pulling the tooth out the fake set...WTH? That hurts me just to look at it!

[PrettyPopsiclePanda]

Sodapopsgirl81714 it was banned because the writers were on drugs

[sodapopsgirl81714]

i was laughing so hard i cried and why was it banned it's only laughing gas??

[MonsterKittyRose]

5:48 ...Damn. No wonder it was banned. That car was on somethin. (:

[lewiskyle11]

Guys the laughing gas wasn't the drug. The episode was banned because the writers were clearly on drugs. A bad influence for kids!

[TheBleedingNinja]

was that just crack headed cartoon characters fucking eachother?

[MatthaiosM]

reminds me of the monty python's killing joke.

[68jeffrey72]

Not sure what creeped me more; the laughing clock or the laughing tombstones...

[MySweetParadigm]

scary as fuck yo

[grahamtop]

How did they ever get the money to make this during the Great Depression??

[stopmotionman09876]

Better fx than most movies now XD

[paigecawley05]

You can tell tht Betty's high her eyes are all over the place :')

[yadro]

the quality of this is so amazing that you could say it was done yesterday!

[geraldmarkowitz]

KoKo had his last tango if this was his last cartoon.

[franco09XD]

wheres her neck? :/

[66LifesMistress77]

@franco09XD LOL! Guess necks are passe!

[yoyofingers]

This is fucking creepy...

[AtomskSky]

Shoah cuckin mad as trip!!!

[TheJohndoe419]

this wasn't banned. that obviously not true, the guy just thought he would get more views if he said it was.

And laughing gas is a drug, as is paracetamol and any chemical that has a effect on the human body.

[warriors41]

OMG how did he draw on photographs like this? A whole movie came out of random pictures from some apartment. How creative! Now where can I get some laughing gas? :P

[SheriffSquid]

the fuckin clock at 5:03 though

[CaueJesusGaara03]

1934 oh my god kkkkk

[Emmandal10]

Its Hippie Crack!!

[Possatboi]

the reason the uploader titled it "banned for X" is because people are ATTRACTED to drama etc

[avalanchesuperstar]

This was Koko the Clown's last apperence. Maybe he had an overdose?

[YoByAxEs]

I disliked this video because the only drug it uses here is also used in a bunch of other cartoons and none of them have been banned for the use of laughing gas.

[AmericaTheEnslaved]

how does that get banned?

[ameart26]

God I love these cartoons but I can not stand the sound fx they put in for them later on.

[Motelcalifornia2]

Reefer madness?

[BeatlesFanCharsh]

I'm going to have nightmares now, aren't I? O.O

[SixShooter0999]

They left out the part where Cocoa and Betty get it on after getting high : P hehehe

[PhantomSavage]

wow... those are actually some pretty good effects for 1934...

[idoliam]

I couldn't stop laughing xD

[konata4567]

i may be a 1999 baby but i love the old black and white cartoons

[BeccsTube]

5:07 ..... scary :O

[Kumi12341]

LMAO! This is what happens when you leave your drawings unfinished!

[Scarlet0Darkstar]

A smart alec chemist & his friend went to lunch, he told the waitress he'd like some H2O; his friend said he'd like some H20 too... the waitress came, they drank, the friend croaked...

you may get just what you ask for, & how!

[maikimulisha]

You idiots mean N2O... Nitros oxide... lauging gas is a mixture of nos and oxygen. :L

[ilovefunnyvidsvb]

omg at 2:05.. I COULD FEEL THAT! :/

[MizCrocker]

I go from Wolf's Rain to this...?

[KpopAng]

laughing gas is not a drug.

[MrMicklethal]

A substance used in the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of a disease or as a component of a medication. drug (n.)A chemical substance, such as a narcotic or hallucinogen, that affects the central nervous system, causing changes...therefore laughing gas (nitrous oxide) is a drug.

[Hakusan75]

@KpopAng Actually, it is, by many definitions. Laughing gas, also known as nitrous oxide, is a gas that will alter your state of mind. Many people will giggle or laugh after inhaling the gas, hence its name. A common street name for illicit use of the drug is called a "whip-it" due to the source of most illegally used nitrous oxide, aerosol cans of whipped cream. If anything, hopefully this was informative.

[Pillowpants8495]

@Hakusan75 whip-its are actually not illegal. At least not in most states.

[Hahahehehoholol]

@Hakusan75 smart ass

[Silvergordikuki]

@KpopAng Yes it is, google nitrous oxide.

[KpopAng]

@Silvergordikuki but why do dentist use it to their patients? if it was dangerous as a drug then how can they even be aloud to use it?

[godforge2003]

@KpopAng Are you completely retarded?

Nitrous oxide is a powerful DRUG!

[KpopAng]

@godforge2003 fine whatever.

[mercerallison]

NO2

[InvaderP4nda]

@mercerallison N2O you moron. NO2 is Nitrogen Oxide, a toxic gas.

[Mattness20]

@InvaderP4nda Uhm, no, NO2 is Nitrogen Dioxide...just sayin'.

[WumpaFruit0]

excellent illustration of cavity

[Weegrolol]

the whole town got high....ron paul 2012.

[vonorn]

Absolutely brilliant masterpiece of animation mixed with live footage.The fact that she was trying to help her friend and then ended up causing the whole city and then the tombstones laughing shows the imagination of these early pioneers was and is far beyond what digital produces imop.

Watch the cars towards the end,and see how Roger Rabbits car was heavily influenced.

[evet45]

@vonorn I agree. Abslolute masterpiece of animation and film. I can see why they banned it though. I think of Demi Moore who apparently was hospitalized recently.

[vonorn]

@evet45 Sadly states of consciousness that evoke, positive, erotic, or expanded awareness is mostly perceived as dangerous by the powers that be. Everyone and even inanimate things was enlightened by the lifting of the veil of so this called reality.The gas simply allowed them to see how unreal some controlled surroundings are. For example, count how many kinds of toilet paper are sold today.The absurdity of that many choices is quite evident imop.

[EllenRebecca3]

Good god cartoons have changed. Is it just me or is Betty Boop racist AND sexist - In a subtle(ish) kind of way?

[WhyLimeTime]

@EllenRebecca3

Probably, but it's a REALLY old cartoon. Nothing is super offensive, but there are hints toward the common ideas of the day.

[Walter0924]

marihuana gas xD

[jpmpastores]

that is some strong tooth!!!

[guerrero14100]

[amaloveable]

.......thumbs up if the clock scared the crap out of you......

[hquick48]

This cartoon wasn't banned because of the laughing gas! It was the insane amounts of acid the creator was on while he made this!

[MrYaoiMonster]

What am I watching?....

[MsLilone2012]

Omg this is halarious xD

[PandaheroBD]

Look Betty's face at 4:28 :D Drunk....

[Daggersanctuary]

damn, those pliers were beating the s--t out of those dentures

[aspersive]

1:27 The music that starts sounds suspiciously like Chico Marx's theme song, "On The Beach At Bali-Bali".

[epickitteh11]

The clock and typewriter are creepy...O.o

[insideoutboy100]

Laughing Gas: One hellluva drug.

[TheFunnybunny442]

[zachattackkid]

[zachattackkid]

If You Find Amory Surfing, Tell Her Its 10:00 A.M.

I'm Not Telling You This This Was From 1900. We Have The Team Work! We Are Not Team Guys

[mangacrazycatlover]

[Debachi]

Predator gets its prey

[Unbeaten93]

[iDefcon6]

[bingobongo445]

[TheAcdcjacob]

1.55 penius in mouth



[ATLDASH]

wtf... did anyone notice that when she was trying to yank the clown's tooth...It should have been the other way around

[EvilMofoShelley]

OH NO! ITS THAT F$@KING CLOWN AGAIN!

[MilwaukeeJAK]

So was this banned for the drug use depicted in the cartoon, or because of the drugs Max Fleischer was using when he made this? 8-p

[Haevenn]

Wow laughing gas, that's why it was banned? Well guess what a Betty boop cartoon aired last week showing everyone in a room shooting up heroin xD

[SiLlYcHiCk9290]

that sure is some STRONG laughing gas...

[BubbleT1ger]

Sooo... they never pull that tooth out?

[johanneslolz]

drugs?

[ccmattyfilms]

@johanneslolz laughing gas aperently

[mekeko2]

omg man omg i love old cartoon can u say acid trip much lol

[kailuagirl87]

@ 1:51 thats what she said.

[omogulegt]

... kinda like Evil Dead 2 in a way..

[deltanation22]

@omogulegt That scene had me in tears with laughter, it wasn't creepy/disturbing at all for a horror movie.

[MagicalObeseUnicorn]

Some of the laughing characters scare the shit out of me... T^T

[MEGANizedTV]

Also, I seen it a few more times in different shows older and newer, and it was considered comical, not to be banned

[MEGANizedTV]

Funny thing is in the early 90s when I was a kid, I remember watching an episode of the show Hey Arnold! when Helga went to the dentist and they put her on laughing gas and she started "tripping out" and it wasn't banned, it wasn't even viewed as drug use or adult content it was just funny. Time changes things

[evin674]

N2O is so fun. Feels great and is safe. Too bad the high is only for about 2 minutes.

[zachattackkid]

Come Here!

[MrZugen]

shows were so good back then, now tv shows sucks almost all the time :(

[callumbrowns]

why da fuck ban a cartoon for that, this shit is funny *

[TheBlazinkush]

write must been 1 high mofo

[TheButterflyfly]

Did she say I feel so silly and so queer?

[MOPARGEORGE]

Fuck these advertisements!!

[GemZel16]

wonder how many guys fap to betty boop in the 30's

[DeanHiriiende]

incase you guys were wondering, didnt u see that strap around her leg? only prostitutes wear them.

[shiningstarra]

@DeanHiriiende That strap is called a garter. They were and used to hold up stockings and socks. Flappers wore them as fashion and also to hold things similar to the way women put things in their bra.

[tagdam1]

@DeanHiriiende pantyhose didn't exit back then, which is why ALL women held up their stockings with garters or metal clips.

[formeyousee]

hahahahaha no laughing gas just 2 tell u i never used a laughing gas cool huh :)

[bubbles92768]

*grins*

[Camoool]

@iGinaCristina They still use laughing gas today.

[XxzoezebraxX]

O____e Betty Boop is one messed up fucking kids show

[HorseLuver098]

@XxzoezebraxX But it wasn't just for children, most cartoons in the 20's were viewed exclusively by adults.

[542ollielane]

grave stones laughing.......now thats just creepy

[T0m291189]

people in the 30s thought that this was bad because of drugs? glad they didn't have crack back than otherwise betty was probably selling her body to that clown for crack money

[ROCKSOLID19]

Inaminate objects laughing? Don't take drugs kids.

[xXxAndrEzhItOxXx4]

Betty Boop is a whore.. just like Toot Braunstein

[frankieicheban]

hahahahahahah. fuuuck yyeah!

[yoshikartegg]

wow got kinda scary towards the end...

[flipstylez18]

Laughing gas aka Nitros oxide. Abused in whip its. It's a drug. It's being used.  I think that qualifies as drug use.

[TheDemonicHeretic]

i remember when this came out i was about 8 at the time

[MarcoFAlfaro]

i was certain that clown would rape/kill betty

[Hem3fiction]

fuck cocaine, i want some of that laughing gas

[TheSpiralnotebook]

brilliant. Say yes to NO.

[MissAutechre]

Betty Boop is a terrible dentist!

[MCtootsie]

Actually not "Drug use" Back in those days they sometimes used Laughing Gas to calm down patients.. like in hospitals and as here the dentist

[byray]

So..... What WERE there animators hopped up on? I'm guessing they spent time in the opium dens...

Thanks for posting!

[axentrica]

at first it was cute then funny then weird then its juz plain scary

[Sushi4477]

LOL thumbs up if you love classic cartoons!!!

[onimotoko]

How in the fuck is this "drug use"?

[MissMurder46]

i miss the three stooges <3 like if u miss them too :)

[tagdam1]

@MissMurder46 Those shows are hysterical, but they'd be banned today for showing too much violence (I love it when Mo bops 'em on the head)!

[MissMurder46]

@tagdam1 no there not banned if you dont have cable like me cos im broke as hell :p its on this channel called Antenna TV and it shows all the old shows look it up :)

[invaderjay]

@MissMurder46 OMG! Have you seen the abomination that Hollywood is puking up? The self proclaimed "Three Stooges Movie." Although a remake series would be awesome, the movie looks like utter crap, and breaks from the traditional Stooges equation. Think Alvin and the Chipmunks, Smurfs, DBE, and every other shitty movie Hollywood seems to "remake," ruining the concept all together. The day it releases, I think I'll just watch the classics. Oh, and yeah I gave a thumbs up.

[MissMurder46]

@invaderjay hehe thankyou, and yes i heard that, i think it will be horrible unless they have like a great story based on some episodes and realy good actors then it will be a great movie i believe :)

[mikeejay63]

@MissMurder46 In chicago we don't miss them Stoogapalooza! every saturday 7-9pm wciu.com for more

[SuperFlameRing]

5:03 to 6:29 has scarred me for life.

[cliffwalkinfool]

When was this thing banned?

Or are you just pulling our collective leg so you can bring in some of them prestigious "hits"?

[jasonwyfee]

Cool!?

[mobelso25]

As we all see a major difference of society... Then makes more sense than today where we edge closer and closer to the real life version of the movie Idiocracy.

[LegendHeartsStudios]

But the Joker uses laughing gas... xD

[matilda9906]

im only 12 but i love old cartoons better than the new ones because todays tv has gone to crap.

[DJKID777]

damn i sure miss these days i think the three stooge was still around wen this was showing

[ellerog]

I remember see this on tv when I was a child. didn't see anything wrong with it then or now.

[marixdella]

Now let's imagine Happy Tree Friends existed in that period of time.
