  • Hands down the greatest child actor ever. What a sense of timing! :-)

  • @tonybklyn Agreed

  • lmao that poor dog and he fast with his hands

  • Strange to have Rush as the music for this?

  • SPANKY FTW!!!

  • Man, that dog is a ole' fashion Pit bull

  • that fly scene at 4:50 when he tries to hammer the fly was spankys casting video, the director Hal Roach liked it so much he decided to use it in the final cut.

  • R.I.P George 'Spanky' McFarland.

  • muyy buien video me hace recordar mi niñes !!

    great video brings out a lot of child hood memories !!

  • The best part is when he hits just when you think he is done hitting & all his non-chalant expressions during the punches. Such a natural!

  • Oh Goodness! I totally agree with the top comment. This video should come with a warning: Beware! Hilarious stuff ahead. Spanky was awesome. Thanks.

  • adoro il modo così naturale con qui recitavano questi piccoli attori e fanno morire dal ridere

  • the best video!!

  • Goodness Spanky is so freaking cute !!!

  • pleasently surprised u used Farewell to Kings.... didnt expect that

  • omg did he have a BABY SIZED GUN?! thats freakin awesome lol

  • I cant believe someone poisoned the dog, and almost all of the characters died from terrible accidents, but all in all spanky was ADORABLE (: i just wanted to hug him, besides the fact he would smack me.

  • 6:25 Best line...and a hilarious sequence with the intercom system.

  • 4:26

    awwwwwww sooooooo CUTE!

  • Great upload....bravo. Spanky was the best.

  • this was the best Ive seen yet,I saved It to show my husbund when he gets home from work,the punches was great,and your timing was the best

  • omg, i grew up on this...this was the choice at 3:30pm on channel 32, oh how we loved our gang...

  • Aw :-) Always thought of Spanky as a miniature Ralph Kramden ;-)

  • cute

  • spanky looks like a angel but inside he not 

  • This is just adorable, which Our Gang short did the clip of Spanky taking a bath come from?

  • Spanky rules!! AWESOME VIDEO!! Spanky was a natural in every way. He had a genuine, endearing, sweet quality and it truly shows through. Best of all, he was a child. He wasn't a tiny adult or a studio created "cutie" celebrity/ personality. Thank the Good Lord for film preservation and DVDs or Spanky's precious ways would be lost to us.

    I hate to sound like an old fart, but today's child actors can't remotely come close to him, or other child stars from Hollywood's Golden Age.

  • HAHAHAHAHA. Lovely and funny boy. HAHAHAHAHAHA. First time I see him and I love him. Pure funny. I will get a DVD about this mighty boy. Could you recommend a special film of him?

  • Anyone ever notice that the actor who plays Butch in The little rascals from the 1930's looks similar to the actor who played Butch in the 1990's movie?

  • 1:13 LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I cannot stop laughing...I love it!!! Spanky was always my fave L.R....I found this video by accident, while searching a clip from my fave L.R. film...think it was called Gone Fishing. It's the one where Spanky is left to babysit a bunch of little brats...lol...and mayhem persues...famous line, from another cutie in the film, "Remarkable!" If anyone knows of its existence here, please post...thank you!

  • @cleanheart13 I think you're talking about "Canning Fish" from 1938.

  • what a great little actor! how did they teach him those facial expressions, and to hit at the right time?

  • Omg I love love love the little rascals, especially Spanky....growing up this was the best!! thank you for the laughs!

  • Was Spanky just the cutest kid who ever lived or what? :D

  • Hilarious all the way through, thank you.

  • Hilarious, thanks :o)

  • Hey, SPanky knows how to lock and load! Very funny!!! : ))))

  • Oh my gosh this video had me in tears, I was laughing so hard! Spanky is hilarious! Thanks for the upload!

  • @spng157 Love your enthusiastic reaction. Thanks for watching and writing, spng157.

  • I love the baby Spank. He was sooo adorable. Really a cutie.

  • OHHHHTAAAAy panky!  :)

  • lOved it, thank you! Spanky is one of my all-time favorites, sO adorable and still puts a great big smile on my face! L.

  • I remember me and my brothers and sister sitting in the living room as kids watching and laughing every week day in the early 70's.What years they were.

    What a cast of kids assembled.Give credits to the scouts.My son is 21 years of age now (African American) and in collage, I gave him the nick name (Spanky) the day he was born, because he was as cute as the "Little Rascal".

    Thanks for the clips.Most tell my siblings.

  • @thefam67 Great memories. Thanks for writing!

  • A future hooligan

  • I remember these. Thanks.

  • hahahah when he shoots the fly...omgosh!

  • i love it

  • what is the name of the episode when spanky is bug hunting?

  • 6:12 lol

  • An absolute adorable little fella with a great sense of humor who would make you smile from one end to the other with his cute little hands, feet & grumpy mood. I love him so much & he is one of my favorite babies of the yester cinemas.

  • lol

  • Super job putting this video together! Thanks for taking the time to produce and post it. I grew up in the late 50's watching these, and it brings back so many memories.

  • Spanky is a wonder, a natural, adorable little boy who had the gifts of charm and laughter. His expressions are priceless, his slow burn, that hearty laugh, his wide, innocent eyes, and, as he grew older, his down-to-earth disdain for snobs and phonies. I never tire of watching him, his humor and comic genius are timeless and hilarious. There has never been a child actor to equal him, he is truly one of the greats and will be forever young.

  • @VictoriaRu29 Perfect.

  • @VictoriaRu29 very truE!!!!! amen to thaT!!!!!!! i love these kids Spanky an the whole bunch so underrated in their talent an as child performers,, they were theeeee best still are, timeless in deed,, an should never ever be forgotten,, as important to comedy history as allll the greats, Laurel & Hardy Abbot & Costello, an every thing else on tv then & now,, i can watch them today an still LOL,, an whats sad is i cant say the same about todays child stars

  • The episode at 4:23 is one of my ALL time favorites! I Love His Laugh!!! I've been looking for the "Uh Huh...Isthmus be my lucky day" episode, but it is unavailable here on youtube. :-(

    Thanks for the Laugh! Soooo sad that Our Gang had a curse.

  • When he actually LOADED the gun?!?!? OMG!!!!!!!

  • @parakeet8157 I liked that part also! I liked: " Petey, I'm gonna shoot that fly ! "

  • 2:41 is my wife stealing my blanket.. and this is me after she does it 3:12 :3

  • 6:29 ive seen this one

  • All those punches Spanky was throwing, you'd think he would have became a boxer. Too funny.

  • @CVTom He was cute. All boy he was !!!

  • Nothing, absolutely NOTHING, today is as funny as this and the other works of Hal Roach. Thanks for putting this up. I wish comedians and producers today would take the time to learn something from these and others of the era.

  • i used to watch our gang series when i was a kid .you can't find anything like today.

  • Evertime Spanky hit that guy on the train I just about peed my pants!!! What a little snot!!! Great post. I need to put this in my favorites!!

  • @heymissdj I love where Spanky hits him, lays back down, and just looks at him! That is so cute! Spanky socks him with his foot! I crack up!

  • 3:48 Yeah well you just try throwing me off your old train! I dare you! I defy you! LOL

  • I absolutely chuckled through the whole thing...what a character! Thank you for brightening up my day! Karen

  • @kvalle1 Thanks for your sweet comment, Karen! I'm sincerely grateful to anybody who takes the time to leave a kind word about this video and George "Spanky" McFarland. Thanks a million, everyone.

  • @kvalle1 Isn't Spanky adorable? I love watching this! What a great kid!

  • Wow! This is wonderful. Thanks so much for putting this together.

  • Spanky "busted them." LOL!!! He was soooo cute!

  • This has a clip of my fav episode when they were on the train with all the fireworks going off. When I was a kid I had a `Spanky For President`poster in my room.

  • I read somewhere that the episode where Spanky is shooting at the bugs was actually a screen test and they liked it so much that they kept it.

  • I've got to give that man a lot of credit for his patience with Spanky when he put his foot in his face! I crack up on that part! All he does is lay him back down, and cover him up!

  • My 14 month old neice is exactly the same. Butter wouldn't melt, but get too clode to Lucy Biggs and BOP! Kissing her bye bye a few months back and BOP! So I grabbed her hands to prevent a nose bleed and guesse what??? Three consecutive headbutts right on my sniffer. Hope she grows out of the bashing. She lost her first fight over the bouncing zebra last week at nursery.

  • @onarcotx1 I would love to see your little niece doing what Spanky did! Ever since I saw this video, I can't stop laughing! Spanky is adorable ! Sorry yu keep getting " BOPPED"....glad my little nieces didn't do that too much to me!

  • @ 5:15 when he is talking to himself its too cute!!!!!

  • " Petey....I'm gonna shoot that fly.....just wait! " Love this kid!

  • I love him in the tub, washing his hair! I really could have spoiled this kid if I was around him! 

  • I got scared at his dark side.

  • OMG ... this brings back so many memories. I loved watching the LIttle Rascals / Our Gang. I was watching Turner Classic Movies yesterday on cable and they were showing the original Our Gang clips which was only closed captioned and it was hilarious. The one called Monkey Business had me rolling. I came to YouTube knowing I'd be able to find old footage. I love YouTube !!!!!! Thanks for posting this northbreed1

  • @BLKFOX2000 I saw that also on Turner Classic Movies! Spanky was awesome! I had to check it out on You Tube also! Have yu seen: " Pow! Right In The Kisser? Love it!

  • how awsome !! the bugs scene was his test shot! they never intended to use it, but he was so imaginative!! no one uses the test shot. spanky was awesome. what a cool little PEANUT. what ever they did as grown-ups we will always get to see them as amazing little kids. fantantasic. I hope the remaining few are proud.. even though they were little

  • ha!ha!ha!ha!ha!

    Just watched it right thru.....what a little monkey "spanky" was...and oh boy..did he pack a punch too!!!LOL..LOL..LOL

  • Totally adorable...anyone know what happened to little "cutie"..."Spanky"??

  • Best kid in the world

  • That was great!

  • Laughing and Laughing

  • hell of a punch!

  • When the saying says: "You will live for ever"; well, this is what it means. This kid, once, now dead, lives forever in the memoriy of the recordings. Right?

  • That was fantastic! I'd almost forgotten The Little Rascals but this brought it all back. Thank you so much for the great laugh!

  • definitely my 3 most favorite spanky episodes.  Best faces on a kid ever.

  • nasty.

  • DAT WAS 2 CUTE.LOL

  • Hahahahah!

  • I thought I'd seen all Little Rascal Vids. Where did the bits of this Punching, "Dark Side" Spanky come from -- one of the shorts?

    This video, prepared by northbreed1, is the most entertaining thing I've seen since I once witnessed my father purposely back his '62 Chevy into a neighbors outhouse, violently knocking it flat.

  • @neatoauctions I KNOW THIS ONE ALWAY CRACKS ME UP,OMG, IREMEMBER

    WATCHING THIS ONE AS A KID I FORGOT FROM WHAT EPISODE BUT THE CLIP HERE IS EVEN MORE FUNNY, I LOVE HOW HE KEEPS HIS FIST BALLED UP AND LOOKS AT THE PRODUCER WHEN ITS TIME TO PUNCH. LMAO

  • i can't stop laughing. OMG.LOL!!!!!

  • Good with his fists and trained in the use of firearms. Nothing better than a toddler who can defend himself.

  • ha ha when the conductor comes over digs him aswell

  • Petey is just SO cute with his take-charge attitude at 5:33 "Okay, super brat... no more target practice for you!" ROTFLMFHO-HO-HO-HO!!

  • my dad had the movie, I WANT IT !!!!!!

  • He is so adorable! 

  • i loved this when i was a kid still do

  • Mr. Henderson really had his hands full with naughty Spanky during the "Choo-Choo" episode. Very funny.

  • LMAO 5:08 Spanky went gangsta on that bug. and 6:15 LOL!!! the whole video!!

  • Spanky needs a spankin

  • I have some old vhs movies of the little rascals, my daughter and I like to recite the lines to eachother! Some of them are hillarious! they kids are so young but so funny!

  • here take your brat, teach him some manners!  Hillarious!

  • LMAO SO CUTE

  • Im not surew whats more funny, the film clips or being shocked at the Use of

    RUSH A Farewell To Kings , I didnt expect to hear that

  • I love this kid. I watched the program of “the little rascals” on TV, when I was a child, here in Brazil. I love this recal, and too all the little rascals. He is still remembered after so many years.

  • that baby was born to be an actor

  • These shows were pure comedic genius and it just baffles me why they are constantly hidden away. In the 1970`s they use to play them constantly on TV, but today all you get is a few DVD`s of a couple shows when they are 100`s just sitting around. I assume it`s because in todays politically correct nazi enviornment started by liberals, the forces that be see them as racist, but they really weren`t. They made fun of blacks no more than they made fun of fat people, nothing vicious.

  • 5:05-6:20 hella cutie that is shouch a smart little kid and a smart dog too lol

  • me rei mucho, gracias

  • this is the boy!!!!!

  • Spanky knocked that kid right into the step. Looked like it could have hurt.

  • God bless the child

  • Who played Spanky?

  • @MrBigred1963, George "Spanky" McFarland (1928-1993)

  • God, how I love this song. Hearing RUSH's A Farewell to Kings sent shivers down my spine. The Canadian Power Trio RULES!

  • The sound effects when he hits someone in the face cracks me up. I really miss this show.

  • I love Spanky's laugh. So cunning and expressive.

  • i wonder how they got him to do that. He must have been a very smart baby. Does anyone know who the man in the picture with him is?

  • i was born in 1991. i thank my parents for buying 2 VHS tapes that contained 9 episodes of little rascals! I loved them!

  • This show was not racist in any way. I love the Little Rascals better than the BS that we're seeing today!

  • It ticks me off when I hear people call this show racist which is why you don`t see it anymore.. It wasn`t in the least, quite the opposite.. They regularly had shows that showed white and black kids in the same classroom in school, 30 years before desegregation and always portrayed blacks as equals to the white kids, always eating and drinking in the same place

  • @JamesTKirkCobain well not exactly right. there's an episode when the gang was to eat all of mickie's dinner so they wouldn't have left overs and when somebody asked where's buckwheat a kid said his daddy has fried chicken and he wouldn't be here. another episode stymie was making wishes and said i wish i had a watermellon. i wish ihad 2 watermellons. i wish my daddy was out of jail.

  • @tamapalagi

    yes and on that very same episode stymie's little brother was named "COTTON" and spankey was wishing that COTTON was turned into a Monkey. But when i watched this show as a child, i never noticed. this is and will always be my favorite gang!

  • @tamapalagi -Yeah but that was more poking fun at the stereotype than flat out racism. Probably the worse was they had one called the Kid from Borneo where they had a black dude dressed up acting like a retarded savage, but it was never vicious, it was done all in comedy. All the evil people potrayed in the show were always white like the guy who wants to get the grandmas bonds and she ties them to a kite.

  • Makes ya wanna hang him outside the RPO (mail car) and let the next town have him.

  • This video made me revisit all the old episodes I loved so much when I was small. Spanky was always my favourite character and what an actor that child was, no-one can compare. Thank you for this video, it made me smile xxx

  • This Video is the best one yet love the sounds when he punches them. You made my day watching him hook that guy on the train. LMAO It never gets old

  • what was the episode with Spanky bathing himself? I remember that one - very very cute!

  • Even Spanky likes Rush!

  • I love Shirley but the Spankster was thee best child star of all time...well done amigo!

  • spanky is so adorable and smart little actor

  • ....... @ 3:55 LOL!

  • i wish they played this on tv still and i wasnt born when this came out, but i just like originals and classics.

  • never realized how much of a bad ass spanky was lol hell yeah!!!!! i love him he was sooooo cute when he was little , and yeah i know my user name has his name in it its just a co-winky dink
