Banned from TV - Donald Duck starts smoking (1938)

[senoreo]

Are you sure this was band? I remember seeing this on tv.

[Peacelove110]

@ 1:26 I thought angels are kind?

[jurex81]

Looked more like Donald smoked his first bowl of weed by the pond

[Shipoopiism]

The sad part is, this isn't even happening. It's all going on in Donald's mind as he goes around doing all these things. The crazy fuck.

[joe88john]

Im surprised this cartoon has been banned, it would be great to show younger audiences. If anyone thinks this is bad, there is a WHOLE goofy cartoon that talks about the history of smoking and everything.

[Ilovejoeyd95]

i'd take fishing over school any day i like Donald's cool evil side

[kingdragonpie1337]

its not banned from tv

[MrPsychoJunkie]

Why was this banned? Dont get it at all.

[Logitah]

This was not banned in Finland I actually saw this in morning cartoons once and it didn't traumatize me..

[sleepingbagpiper]

I remember another Donald Duck cartoon where Huey, Dewy, and Louie, buy a box of cigars for "Unca' Donald's" birthday. After spying on them in their treehouse wrapping the present, he rushes to their clubhouse thinking the cigars they bought for him were purchased for their own consumption. The cartoon I am reffering to is here on Youtube. Just can't remember the title. Guess Donald Duck enjoyed his cigars too!

[SuriTheFallen]

Why was this banned?

[ApziApina]

In Germany.

[ApziApina]

I live in finland, and saw this on tv for some years ago. The game Doom came on market in the 90's and they banned it until for some years ago!

[Nekosculta]

3:47 SEE ?

[ssur55]

Cartoons were better before the PC police got ahold of them.

[rickyplanti]

I SAW THIS!

[frowerhousestudios]

6:03 Domestic Violence

[AndrewMushmom]

I THINK IT DIDNT BANNED?? I WATCHED THIS WHEN I WAS SMALL... O_o

[maviddicic]

Not banned in Serbia :)

remember this one!!

[SerenityM16]

What I find funny is there as much subtlety today with good guy bad buy as the angel and devil, you might as well have them.

[viktor2008]

it's funny that this episode was actually showed in television in my country

[Arial14]

I don't remember this OR the Nazi episode being banned when I was a child. I Remember watching them.

[TheSara90]

man, that some very powerfull 100 hit combo @ 6:42

[MyWillowcat]

you know if his angel stuck with him, in him, he'd probably be a lot better person

[ItsNotColdEnough]

I don't think it was banned, i think its from 1938 therefore no longer on the air.

[riobravoboyz]

thats ciggaweed

[Blitzion214]

Donald's good side is a girl. :D

[nernerman]

this wasnt banned. I saw it on tv twice before

[overkillteam]

Is it a morsecode from the mailbox?

And can anyone translate it? :)

[bpomatto]

disny had balls to make this and it wasent aired

[brownfm19]

It was a simpler time... a better time. This was before EVERYBODY was offended by EVERYTHING. We live in a terrible world run by sensitive, politically correct, liberals. This is a cartoon AGAINST smoking...

[brownfm19]

@DannX68 compare killing unborn babies to beloved cartoon characters?.... nice argument bud. when you see a mickey mouse cartoon where minnie aborts a fetus let me know

[RoadkillPro]

I honestly don't remember this being banned, I saw this a couple times when I was a kid and it was on TV, not just on VHS tapes. In fact alot of the shorts from both Looney Tunes and Walt Disney's Mickey 'n Friends (can't remember if that was the actual title of the show, but it's just what I go by) that were claimed to be banned, I've seen. You name the title and I probably won't remember it, but if you show me the content and chances are I've seen it. And mind you I was born in the early 90's.

[DogHACFromMinecraft]

so? Tom and Jerry smoke and drank BP

[DTuriTuri]

I just wanna slowly strangle the angel... she/he is so fucking annoying

[pinkirishgoatz]

That angel is such a nagging bitch



[LittleMangaColours]

MAIL BOX MAKES BLUE SCREEN NOISES:

2:08

[iTrollingLiekABaws]

What the fuck are you guys talking about? O_O I watched this episode when I was a kid! I'm not in the States tho.

[DISnut]

The ironic thing about this is Walt Disney actually smoked cigars, and it took their toll on his health in his later years. 

[HeroSavage]

@DISnut How is that ironic? Irony:a manner of organizing a work so as to give full expression to contradictory.

[kegmonkey]

@DISnut That's actually probably why he made this story.

[xxbryan56xxtv]

barnicle boys voice is also the satan duck haha..

[gorillazgal]

Ahhhh I remember seeing this! Memories :)

[spottyzebra2011]

an advert for smokes popped up while i was watching this



[TheCKCreator]

hmm... i wonder how donald got the role in kingdom hearts...

[paulink]

going to sleep is evil

[berkleypuff35]

look how donald ingores the angel and listens to satan, more evil messeges

[lazysonglover1]

THIS IS SO SATANIC

[aurielle04]

this reminds me of pinocchio when he was smoking those cigars and turned into a donkey o_o scary stuff man

[spartanxxxx]

Obviously whoever started the idea to ban this is an idiot. It's obviously against smoking. It's not even unclear. I mean come on, the Devil Donald is smoking no the Angel! And the Angel kicks the Devil's butt even after trying to resolve it peacefully... Seriously, people are so dumb sometimes. xD

[RobbanFoxer]

lol angel donald went all DBZ on hes ass

[xxxxBunnyraptorxxxx]

13 people smoke..

[Jazminee97]

how is it color when it was made in the 1930's? i thought it was all black and white.

[the2nddeporres]

@Jazminee97 Most Disney cartoons were in color, I don't know much about the television industry from the 1900's, but what I'm assuming is that since most if not all televisions were in black and white at the time. Also, many companies didn't have as much money as Disney for the animation, and coloring. (Just assuming, so don't quote me.) Or maybe some companies were just too lazy to color, since most TV's were in Black and White. :P

[Sonofmothernature]

@Jazminee97 Technicolor was (is?) some kind of process that allowed coloring in short films and feature films. I'm not that well read on the process, but if you're interested there probably is tons of material on the web about technicolor. :-)

[MrHuutti]

donald is hiiiighh :D

[MegaTimeTraveller]

They weren't allowed to show that stuff in the 1930's in cartoons.

[Marbles471]

Probably 90% of the cartoons on YouTube labeled "banned" are not banned at all. It's just a way to get views.

[1vbn1]

7:17 xD

[1vbn1]

7:17 lololol look at donald

[MCDoomCarrot]

Waaaaait.... Donald's good side sounds unusually like a girl... more creepy due to it being VERY close to Daisy...

[rapikins]

i dont think it a banned thi guy might jut be a dummy

[xXStrawberryxMisaXx]

I remember this still when I was a child :D

[unionofonion]

Calling a video, "banned" makes idiots scope it out quicker than anything else.

[leandrusi]

3:43 spit... SPLASH!

lol

[Golemoid]

You guys dont understand how censor's "logic" works. Showing people (or ducks) smoking = promoting smoking, no matter if the smoker died afterward.

[tdickensheets]

There people who not smoke. Also smoking is bad for your health.

[blueturtleshark]

Banned or not banned...it definitely sent me a message when I was a kid. That's probably why I don't smoke. And I have it on VHS, so the ban wouldn't really affect me.

[MyScream11]

raven symone and selena arent like that. mickey and oswald should have a show and replace those stupid teen shows. Im one myself, but I hate them

[stefmarie18]

I think that this gives a better message than the new disney channel shows. The new ones are full of sexual inuendos and any underage female that start off as a disney channel star becomes a drug addicted gutter slut with daddy issues..*ehem* Miley Cyrus.

[NintendoVeteran85]

@stefmarie18 agreed!!!

[GANSTA6033]

Disney channel is a piece of crap today alot of teen movies please bring back old cartoons!

[terramiu]

ANGEL DONALD KICKS DEVIL DONALD'S ASS.

[MydogplaysCOD]

5:38 hulk hogan "YOUUUUUUU"

[Deathbuddy9]

They ban this, yet they let little girls learn how to be whores and hoes from dolls.

[genegroom]

When was it banned? I'm 25 and watched it on Disney back when I was growing up, back when they didn't have commercial breaks. and when they had Gummi Bears and Fraggle Rock

[Bman8873]

mcikey mouse is better than the shows on diseny now!

[TheJboybrown]

@shakeyourbodydown wow u speak well for a 5 year old and your username really sounds like a five year old came up with it

[Caboose123451]

School? i thought donold was an adult

[jedihunter176]

@Caboose123451 Naval academy?

[ShakeYourBodyDown]

i'm 5, now i've seen this, i'm going to start smoking

[DANNYteehee]

Damn he got baked lmao!

Smoke good bud erryday.

[TheMaskedGoth]

how did he light a match off of his butt????? O_o

[majinhiei7]

you're supposed to turn the other beak not retaliate geez and you call your self an angel?

[Zanator1]

@majinhiei7 its a half-breed... obviously!

[Rainfish14]

so if I don't go to school I'll smoke...?

[IDaCashman]

To this day I have no fucking clue what Donald Duck is saying.

[wellguesswhatIthink]

oh I'm glad they banned this episode, I'm sure kids have never been tempted to skip school to smoke, that's just such an unheard of occurrence

[7XxshadowxX7]

if it's banned from t.v how are we able to watch it if it never aired????

[silentjoe2]

@7XxshadowxX7 it aired but it was banned a short time after being aired

[LinkEX]

@7XxshadowxX7 it wasn't inicially banned.

Back in 1938 smoking was treated that carfully - smoking commercials were still allowed as well, for instance with Fred Flinstone and Barney having a good time with Cigars, lol.

[TheLegendOfJess]

I dont know why they would bann this.;

It tells that you shouldnt go into peer pressure and smoke when everyone else is doing it, or else you will get all sick and not feel good., It also says that you shouldnt fight when the angel duck said "i wont fight you!" and was still as good at fighting as the devil duck was!

What was disney thinking when they banned it?!?!

[demonocolips]

@TheLegendOfJess

disney didnt ban it was banned because groups of new age mothers that read too much home magazine cant read into historical context and they dont realize that these are the same cartoons that both themselves and their parents grew up on.

[JohnnyAmerica14]

@demonocolips You think that mothers and grandmothers of children in 1938 grew up on cartoons? No, they grew up in the 1870's learning about the 37 states.

[Gnasni]

@TheLegendOfJess I don't think it's Disney that banned it, but parents not getting the message like kids do, all parents see is a person smoking and think their kids will start doing it aswell while kids see the actual message the cartoon tries to bring up.

Little kids are alot more clever than teenagers and adults.

[the2nddeporres]

@TheLegendOfJess Well you have to remember, this was back in the 30's, when people were less self aware of the dangers of smoking. The cigarette companies would drastically of gone down if people found out smoking was bad, so what other choice then to ban it? Personally I think that's the stupidest idea ever, considering I'm against smoking.

[hypoglycemix]

@TheLegendOfJess disney wudent of banned their own material i gayrantee it was th tv channel owners

[Kriskazam]

@TheLegendOfJess They took this down because cigarette companies wouldn't get money! Lobbyists asked to take this down probably :P

[JRakajoey]

There's signs of smoking in all the old cartoons like Tom and Jerry.

Not to mention Peter Pan.

[LordofDragns]

Cigarett smoke makes me sick...

[Darkmateria7]

God damnit this reminds me so much of that prick in school that got me to start smoking..

[Pyro25100]

The angel hit him so hard he went back to hell lol

[jjesseshort]

There was an episode of Tom and Jerry where Tom smokes and instantly gets sick...

it wasnt banned.

[sellbotvpmaster99]

@jjesseshort That's different.

[AwsomeAreck]

what's wrong with fishing!? D:<

[corjonbett]

@AwsomeAreck When you're SUPPOSED to be in school;?! A LOT.

[AwsomeAreck]

@corjonbett But i <3 fishing </3

[wondrer100]

i know this is anti-smoking...but still is transmitting some bad messages to the kids...

[SarcofagoBlackThrash]

banned from tv for starting smoking......pot?

[VisualBrownies]

It's me! Bender!

[FresnoStateBulldogs]

"You smoke like a baby!!" ummmm, wut?

[kaycie92]

3:36

LMAO bad ass xD

[Writermist]

Daaaaaaammmmnnnnn,,, don't mess with the angel. This is amazing. What a way to teach your kid not to smoke. Loved the devil duck. He was a smooth little bastard. Loved the nice little angel duck proving you can be badass and good at the same time. and donald was funny.

[Flipperlikesdipper]

put hair on his chest?? hes a fucking duck lol

[MrPortalUser]

If he is going to school, that means he is a kid, which means there are no parents at his house..

[jacf1020]

ohhh I see! a school duck slept with an angel! that's why it got banned!

[HidanKitten32]

this looks oddly familiar. I think I may have watched it on video at some point as it was banned before I was born; 1992

[TheRealFreeman1]

And you!

[avrilgirl1801]

youuuuuu!

[Bigbadburrows2]

who could dislike this???

[Bigbadburrows2]

This isnt banned... and disney has had way worse with goofy... heck they even showed one of him smoking constantly.

[MeganBoulden]

i used to have this on a VHS

[Michaletosjr]

it's strange to hear donald (the angel one) speaking with normal voice!

[helgesdk]

I've seen this as a child on national TV. In which country was this banned?

[SkullOfYorick]

Donald Duck gets bullied by himself? What a loser! Also, wasn't this the era when big tobacco was telling smokers that their habit was actually healthy?

[GabinRevolution]

And then he died of lung cancer.

[MrDemanforever]

11 people have no childhood

[Mandown232]

HEADRUUUUSH!!!!!!

[thefieryfury]

y banned??isn't it teaching u not 2??

[metalheart94]

i don`t understand, why it was banned from tv, though the cartoon is obviously against smoking

[corjonbett]

@metalheart94 Because he smokes. Any kid who didn't see the full thing might think it was cool, since they may only have seen Donald smoking...

[TheVukadin]

@metalheart94 this wasnt banned i saw this a million times on tv!

[TheSamsLake]

@metalheart94 no but they cant make children start smoking ....

[slutypet]

@metalheart94 it was banned because it was against tobacco. if it was against marijuana it would not had been banned.

[nicromis]

@metalheart94 You don't understand why it was banned? The 1930's with a very ... relaxed opinion towards smoking. The tobacco lobby. Think again ;-)

[Sokra01]

@metalheart94

Perhaps it was banned by the tobacco-industrie?

[LckeStudios]

It's funny because people thought smoking was "good for digestion" during this time.

[LadySweetDavil]

at the end the angel is more violent than the devil D:

[Tilou425]

I actually saw this on TV XD

[Christianofcanada]

This is actually a good Donald duck cartoon

[PitiFinx]

Nah, course that's not weed. It's just over-enthusiastic tobacco, is all.

[Sarato]

I remember seeing this on Swedish television. =D

[HomerBong]

i remember watching this on disney back in the late 80's

[CWalker4Real]

damn donald at 4:15 that nigga doing rings.

[MrFishWish]

Why does Donald need a smoke? His voice is already raspy as hell....

[jlkdasjdf]

lol bad donald ghosts that shit like a pro haha!

[pebblywon]

I am now going to start smoking because Donald Duck did.

Since everyone bases their life choices of cartoon ducks... Howard smokes too so it only makes sense.

[NapsterJoe]

I love how when the good duck is flying it stalls

[Dionysus24779]

I have seen this cartoon many times on tv, but still strange to ban a cartoon that teaches a valueable lesson

[BANJOKUZOOIE]

technically its not banned 

[SidCalibur]

if that's all it took to get ready for school, do u hav any idea how late i would sleep

[Andyman99999]

@friedricey03 you are a fucking idiot if you believe this. Friedricey should kill himself. I don;t give a fuck about a loser. You can't even spell torture correctly.

[0O00OO0O00OO0O00OO]

I saw this in the 80s

[TheDoctorGrenade]

I learned the following. Never piss off a nice person

[SidCalibur]

@TheDoctorGrenade amen

[michaelm807]

dude donald isnt smoking weed! why tf was this banned? it teaches kids A LESSON not to smoke.

[TheDarksonic510]

crack smoking duck haha!!!!!XD

[videofrek12]

donald is smokin like a motherfuckin BOSS

[LordDivineFist]

Wow, I remember this from my childhood..>.>

[moobie1010]

why is the good angel gay?

[ilvjeddy]

i remember this!

[Tressom]

umm i dont think this was i remember seeing this in the 90s like most of the good cartoons(weather war based or not) theres just no reason to show them or they trying to stay with the times

[TLJ1945]

This might have already been posted but I just saw this for the first time and would like to report that when DD is walking past the mailbox a 2:10, it says (in Morse Code) "CQ CQ HI KID". ("CQ is amateur radio code for a general call to anybody.)

[Laurelindo]

Sometimes when I wake up in the morning I kinda imagine that I'm up and walking and then suddenly realize I'm still in bed. =P

[peiceofcheese87]

@Laurelindo me too

[stupidd26]

@Laurelindo same with me
