Roger Ramjet: Dumb Waiters

[niflap]

20 atom bombs? What YIELD?

[Quasarion]

"Would you say, sir, that I'll be a lunch Counter-Spy?"

"No, Ramjet, you'll be more like a Dumb-Waiter."

Splendid pun on words. Oh, and the message at 04:45 doesn't bother me, I'm a vegetarian... ;)

[queenastilon]

Wonderful!

I found a DVD of these last year, and introduced them to a new generation.

I always loved the sarcasm and double entendres, the poking fun.

[crowpass]

sO SIMPLE, YET IT WOULD BE THOUGHT ON TO MUCH.

rIGHT? COOKIE MONSTER

"Message in the Alphabet Soup trice EH?"

[2MKcreations]

They don't know how to spell "quickly". 1:19

[cutless74]

I remeber watching this every morning before I went to school. Aired on The Wallace and Ladmo Show. aired in Az.

[mightyfilm]

Love those stupid old waiter jokes.

[brian4t7]

Oh if we could only bring those back! We need them for China. . .

[XXB4XX]

god this cartoon is hillarious!

[oos96]

Talk about propaganda...

[HolyVegeta]

Man its been a decade since I've seen this stuff.

[Barndancer61]

My god, I must have watched this episode alonge a hundred times when I was a kid 40-odd years ago, but, not seeing it again since, didn't realize until now how hilarious it was for the adults! ..."Catch her in the rye" indeed! LOL!!

[BENJ1969]

No doubt! Just like old Bozo's Circus or Rocky & Bullwinkle, though I loved both as a kid, as time moved on I had a whole other appreciation for the humor in shows like those and Roger Ramjet. Great, quick witted double entendres are everywhere. What a great period in time for cartoons. And what a great thing to have YOUTUBE to relive them.

[Marbles471]

Wow. I've heard of this but never seen it. Anybody watch "Square One TV" as a kid in the 80s? Roger sounds very similar to Dirk Niblick, and the Dirk Niblick cartoons had a similar tone and always used those funny "word" cutaway shots. Not only does it look like they got it from this show, but I also distinctly heard Jim Thurman's voice at 2:25---Thurman was the voice of Dirk Niblick's friend Mr. Beazly. "Niblick" must have been made by most of the same people.

[SteveCarras]

Jim Thurman WAS credited as both a voice an writer (with Gene Moss). That's Gary Owens as Roger.He was probaly Dirk Niblick,too.

[worthyjeff]

This is why we have adult swim now. Back then it was adult humor disguised as kiddy fare.now kids cartoons are for - what- learning english maybe.

[remalboon]

sweet :) takes me back to my childhood, the humour is beyond time and age:) too bad that cartoons nowadays lack that sublime type of humour...:(

[BebopTrotter]

Never understan the 1st line of the song 'join 'em but to feed 'em?'

[thecritic2007]

i know what u mean its rodger ramjet and his eagals fighting for our freedom fly thew in and out of space not to join them but to beat them

[Barndancer61]

The line is "join 'em, but to beat 'em".

[BebopTrotter]

This one won't play for me.

[mausay]

[sparkileptic]

is quickly misspelled on purpose?

[Bluke4x4]

Hahahahahaha! I love all the wordplay jokes!
