When i was young my older brother & sister made me a bet of 25 cents I would not take a tablespoon of tabasco sauce. I WON the bet but sure suffered for it lol.
I grew up watching these on syndicated TV. I've seen this episode in its entirety numerous times. I watch these to look at the appliances, furniture, cars, clothing, etc., of the times. I still find them very funny. I did not want to review all 33 pages of comments, but did you notice that Spanky rinses his mouth with BOTTLED WATER and not the faucet. I don't know, maybe the studio didn't want to hook up a water line (just a thought).
@VacuumVideo Yeah, I remember that. Whenever you made a sneezing noise he would chase you. I recall an episode where there was a chauffeur, and the donkey kicked him in the head :)
I met George(Bob) back in 79'.My Dad was a t.v/shortwave radio repair technician.He had a friend in Corona,CA who owned Gunderson's t.v.One time I tagged along with my Dad to Gunderson's shop and he introduced me to a friend when my Dad said,"This is Spanky" I didn't believe him at first. At that time George was a rep or distributing radios or t.v's and would stop by and and talk to Harry Gunderson and my Dad.George was a great man and very friendly,caring person and very very funny.
LMAO ... this was too funny. Love the Our Gang / Little Rascals series. Turner Classic Movies offers the complete collection on DVD. I'm ordering mine today.
@yetitracker Indeed ! I believe that in the same episode we also see a bottle of vinegar (I forget the brand) and a box of Arm & Hammer baking soda. Again, no change.
@JasperKeller It was a child's toy from back in the day ; a simple gadget you just turned over and a weight/bellows thingy made the sound. ( fyi i asked my mom and she had the very thing.)
gayNbluejeans: Wow. You really are a deprived human being if one cannot enjoy the Little Rascals. According to you, the entire human population will be lost if we watch the Little Rascals. It's just a harmless kids show. Nothing more, nothing less. Stop living such a sheltered life and watch the Little Rascals. While you're at it, start watching the Three Stooges
You are an unhappy wak job that gets his 50 cent words out of the dictionary.
Lighten up you old sour puss !!!!! It's people like yourself that are so unhappy with life in general that you must bully your way through it . Take a chill pill . If you can't emotionally handle watching this type of entertainment grab a book instead !!!!!
my ex GF had this crazy, insane cattle dog that wanted to rip my head off. Once in awhile it would get a tabasco dog biscuit. sadly, the damn thing liked it.
I had my mind poisoned by these types of shows when I was a toddler. I sincerely hope today's parents don't overdose their kids on cartoons and this kind of garbage.
@Shadeleaves Children should not be exposed to this garbage. Take them to a library, to a museum, read books to them, teach them photography, math, ... but don't sit them in front of a TV to poison their heads with this worthless trash that teaches them to be disrespectful and act like jackasses!
@Shadeleaves Werd! Classic humor and good innocent fun.
As far as "guyNbluejeans" and his statement about our kids being "disrepectful little jackasses", and "being poisoned" and being subjected to "worthless trash," he dosen't realize that the Democrats and Liberal Progressives are doing that JUST FINE........
@Shawnster65 I watched this as a kid and grew up fine. I'm sure any other viewer could agree that they aren't "Poisoned" or "disrespectful". Sure, people can be like that, but it is definately not caused by a children's show. LOL.
@Shadeleaves Same! Here's to good clean classic comedy!
I can't wait for Obama or Eric Holder to label the Little Rascals as enemies of the state over the little bit parts with Stymie, Buckwheat and Bumbo The Wild Man.
I'm being sarcastic, yes, and I apolgize, but with the extreme Left turn we took 2 years ago, God only knows WHO will be scapegoated for America's ills...
Until then, Long Live The Little Rascals. OOOO-WOWWWWW!!!! :-)
@Shadeleaves Indeed it was innocent fun! Noone was hurt or killed for one thing.
Second, there is a very deep and abject lesson to this story, as the father learns a very valuable lesson thru his son, and the father admitting his wrongs.
I hardly call that a lesson in teaching kids to be "disrespectful little jackasses."
That is, unless "guyNbluejeans" is one of those parents whose always right and considers an admission of guilt to his children as weakness. It's a two-way street.
@Shadeleaves Human beings predate TV and when there was no TV they certainly were not robots. You can defend this "innocent" sewage but I'll say it until my dying breath that kids are being damaged by this so-called entertainment.
@thundermoon123 That you would make such a ridiculous leap in logic suggests that your cogent powers weren't benefitted from being affected by this type of entertainment vomit. I'm simply trying to spare others from the rot that destroyed your own mind.
@guyNbluejeans So it's NOT okay for kids and adults as well to watch the Little Rascals on tv, but it is okay to let kids watch useless videos on the internet. What a mentality
@Etobeeshawn Speaking of mentalities ... how on earth do you make such a mindless comment? If the issue was cancer and smoking cigarettes, would you leap on me with righteous stupidity and say, "So smoking pipes and cigars is okay?!"?
Just take a look at the intelligence in this place of those that are trying to defend this lame TV show that's harmed so many, and one can get a very real sense that there's evidence to my assertion that such programs stunt intellectual development!
@guyNbluejeans I have the funnest memmories remembering watching this silly comedy!!! I LOVE The Little Rascals! I've been to museums as a child and throughout my adult life! I'm still learning in school at 43! I am so grateful we owned a television in the 1970's. Music and movies are my passion!!!!!
@44musicluvr So your point here is that because you came out relatively unscathed emotionally and psychologically despite having had your young impressionable mind exposed to this kind of feces, therefore, it's a good idea to encourage other parents to set their toddlers in front of a monitor and let them have similar sewage ooze into their heads as well?
By this type of logic you may as well argue that children should be encouraged to smoke and drink because some folks live long happy lives...
@guyNbluejeans Birthday Blues was made in 1932. This was not "TV" this was "Depression era film." Yeah, people needed a good belly laugh at the movies once in a while at the time. Whotta crime against humanity. Doubtful it poisoned their minds......
@fadar When I first came into this crap hole of a world my parents were two big screwballs, didn't have a clue about how to raise kids. Thus it happened that there was no "quality" input going from the world into my head, just utterly stupid, mindless crap, like the Three Stooges and this Spanky crap. I didn't goddamn know which end was up by the time the state people caught wind of the rearing the fools for parents were doing to me and my sibs! Other kids were getting Shakespeare and such.....
@guyNbluejeans Wow....you are an angry, bitter person. I would've sat you infront of the television and had you watch The Little Rascals when you were young to lighten up your life a bit. Watch some comedy!!!!!
@44musicluvr Why is it so hard to get what I'm saying? Some amount of comedy is fine, but taking little kids and giving them scripts and directing them to act like jackasses and fools so that other little kids watching the idiot behavior get the idea that they're expected to behave the same way (to get love and attention) is wrong!
I recall an interview of a kid that had his own '50s show and he said he got to a point where he wanted to line the adults up and mow them down with a machine-gun!!
@boomcc1 The one with Yum Yum Eat Em' Up is called "The Kid From Borneo" and I believe you can finds the episode here at Youtube. The treasure hunt one with the giant is a different one. Still a good one though.
You're 50? Naaahh..you're not old at all. Second childhood is knocking on your door. Embrace the moment and run with it, lol :-)
So we have three 44-year-olds in here. I'm 43. Pretty close. Yeah the old comedies are better than the modern ones any day. I think Laurel and Hardy and the Three Stooges are the best.
This was my all time fave! Spanky was so cute. It was that sound "BUH WOWWW" along with his cute reaction.... thats timing. I would laugh til I cried. He knew he wasn't supposed to have any meat. He broke tail running for that water. Pure joy!
I always loved that sound effect.Thats the same noise that the cake made when they made the birthday cake w/the shoe & soap inside...mwoowoow!thx alot.
The episode is called "Birthday Blues". The clip above is also from the same episode. Definitely one of the best episodes. Other favorites of mine are "Canned Fishing" (the one with Buckwheat in the washing machine), and "The First Round Up", when the gang's camping trip goes awry. The "Our Gang Follies" Show episodes are also very good when the gang puts on a show. Too many favorites to list, but those are the standouts for me.
@ricktalks2much1 I agree. But they made another episode where they baked a cake and put foreign objects in it. Then it came alive and made a funnier sound. If only I could find that one.
I'm suprised that later on in life, that McIlhenny brothers didn't get Spanky to do a commerical for the tabasco sauce. "I loved it as a kid, and still love it now. True tabasco goodness that makes you go "oooWOW" (cut to clip for sound effect.)
Birthday Blues is one of the best Little Rascals shorts. It's got everything, humour, pathos, a dysfunctional family, Stymie and Dickie's cake and a cracking ending.
I love the opening scene and the way Spanky stares disgruntled at the mush.
@lulamidge My brother (or sister) I don't have enough thumbs to put up in support of your comment. This episode teaches the father a damn good lesson at the end of the movie. But between point A and point B, you have some of the wackiest and hysterical kid capers ever filmed for a comedy short! Not to mention the ULTIMATE sound effect!
Which episode was the one where the Rascals had to sneak into the school at night to get their permission slips for the field trip, and one of them brought the creepy noise maker that Buckwheat sat on? (I think it was called Spooky something or other; they also had a scary encounter with the fake skeleton in the teacher's closet, I think).
hey has anyone ever seen the skit where they are in the woods and they accidentally catch bigfoot and he comes back and murders one kid? most terrifying thing of my childhood can someone please upload it my family thinks im lying
@Madabird He dosen't kill the kid, and it's a guy in a gorilla suit trying to chase the kids away from his pond because they're always trespassing on his property.
The episode is called "Bear Shooters." And it's a very funny episode. And you can tell your family from me, and the other fans, that you are NOT lying. :-)
@Shawnster65 THANK YOU! found the clip. I dont recall seeing the last 10 min, makes more sense. but in my defense that bear suit is most definitely a giant ape suit and he does grab a knife and appears to stab buckwheat in the back. but thanks again i now have proof
@Madabird No problem, fellow Rascals fan! And yes the "bear suit" is an ape costume, and the kids thought it was a bear. When they found out what was happening and who was behind it, they got back at the guy in the only way the Rascals knew how, LOL I always laugh my ass off when te one kid shoots him in the ass with the arrow: "OOOOO-HOOOO!" That's some seriously funny stuff!!
This suff is timeless. They could never make this stuff today in a million years, it`s too celebrity oriented now and the kids would act like complete attention whores. I mean seriously, you look at these two kids dancing, you would never ever find two kids today who could act like this spontaneous, they`d either act purposely cute or completely pretentious.
@Shawnster65... Miss Crabtree's school house and Grandma's General Store were located on the Hal Roach Ranch property about a mile from the studio site. If you were to drive up David Avenue between Robertson and Canfield, you would be going right through the old Hal Roach Ranch property.
The sound effect Spanky makes after he eats the sausage was the voice of Billy Bletcher. His voice is also heard in the sound effects mix when the cake is in the oven. The name of this short is Birthday Blues, it was made in 1932. Anyone in the Los Angeles area might be interested in visiting St. Brendan's Church on 3rd Street and Van Ness - that's the exterior where the last scene of this film was shot.
@chrisbungostudios Now THAT'S a nice bit of info, mate. Thanks for that!
If, in the future, California straightens out (morally, politically, and financially) I may just step out and visit the churcch just to walk in the footsteps of the one and only Spanky, the greatest childhood star, EVER.
@Shawnster65 Interestingly... I was out in Los Angeles recently - drove right by that church. If you ever do visit Los Angeles, you MUST visit Culver City where the Hal Roach Studios (which is where the Little Rascals / Our Gang were made) was. Landmark Street in Culver City goes through what was the heart of the studio property.
I'd seen something about that on a Youtube video a while back--they spoke about the old Hal Roach studios and it's location and how it was demolished in 1960, and how Laurel and Hardy were righjt next door to The Little Rascals, and how Stan and Ollie would play with kids all the time. Very nice little piece and very informative.
@chrisbungostudios also in A Lad and his Lamp when the Monkey is next to that black dude at the lunch counter and he opens his eyes expecting a kiss from his girl but sees the monkey with big fat lips.

Omg, I remember the first time I saw this (the local video store had a bunch of Little Rascals films before it closed). I almost wet my pants laughing. :D
I do like The Little Rascals, don't get me wrong, but this kind of humour shouldn't make anyone cry with laughter if they're older than 6, really. Slap-stick humour is what kids love to see but it is very basic, that's why its usually aimed for kids.
Without sounding bias because I'm British but, British humour is possibly the best you can get for a good belly laugh. We're so miserable, but we're honest and make a joke about it, its one thing that makes us "Great" Britain :P lol!
I'm 34 and as a child I loved The Little Rascals/Our Gang. Spanky is my absolute favorite. I don't know how they were able to get him to do the things he did, like in this clip. He is literally just a baby!
this is truly funny and it's funny compared to most new cartoons, or any new entertainment shows. i just can't stand this modern world sometimes. that's why i searched "little rascals" to get away from it.
@lukeandlea I was just looking these episodes up myself to find out why. I think mostly it is because of the racial stereotypes portrayed on the show.
i used to watch this alot when i was a kid, i'm only 20 but my dad bought roughly about 30 VHS tapes, i haven't watched them in years but it taught me the worth of the old style cinema at a very young age
After all these years, the situations are still funny, and they still speak of the honest-to goodness innocence of kids, and the way they deal with their situations when unconventional situations arise.
If they were around today, they'd probably be political, or some toilet humor fest like South Park, or some other form of "humor" that passes for comedy today.
@dizzyvk possibly the earliest known use of product placement in a movie.
Actually, the gag with the tabasco in the sausages was a remake of a scene from one of the silent Our Gang films. Only possible earlier sighting of a brand name *might* be a Coca-Cola sign in one of the very first shorts.
That tore me up. Poor Spanky! This was back in the post-depression era, they should have been glad to have Spanky eat them then Pete, the dog can forage!
The story line was spanky didn't like toast and his older brother Dickey didn't like sausages. The mother insisted that little boys don't eat sausages. But the family pet dog Petey solves that problem by eating the sausages which Dickey passes to him under the table. Spanky seeing his chance goes under the table,replacing Petey. Dickey of course finds him out.

@boomcc1 The one with Yum Yum Eat Em' Up is called "The Kid From Borneo" and I believe you can finds the episode here at Youtube. The treasure hunt one with the giant is a different one. Still a good one though.
You're 50? Naaahh..you're not old at all. Second childhood is knocking on your door. Embrace the moment and run with it, lol :-)

So we have three 44-year-olds in here. I'm 43. Pretty close. Yeah the old comedies are better than the modern ones any day. I think Laurel and Hardy and the Three Stooges are the best.

This was my all time fave! Spanky was so cute. It was that sound "BUH WOWWW" along with his cute reaction.... thats timing. I would laugh til I cried. He knew he wasn't supposed to have any meat. He broke tail running for that water. Pure joy!

The episode is called "Birthday Blues". The clip above is also from the same episode. Definitely one of the best episodes. Other favorites of mine are "Canned Fishing" (the one with Buckwheat in the washing machine), and "The First Round Up", when the gang's camping trip goes awry. The "Our Gang Follies" Show episodes are also very good when the gang puts on a show. Too many favorites to list, but those are the standouts for me.

I'm suprised that later on in life, that McIlhenny brothers didn't get Spanky to do a commerical for the tabasco sauce. "I loved it as a kid, and still love it now. True tabasco goodness that makes you go "oooWOW" (cut to clip for sound effect.)
That would have been priceless.

Birthday Blues is one of the best Little Rascals shorts. It's got everything, humour, pathos, a dysfunctional family, Stymie and Dickie's cake and a cracking ending.
I love the opening scene and the way Spanky stares disgruntled at the mush.
lulamidge 1 year ago
@lulamidge My brother (or sister) I don't have enough thumbs to put up in support of your comment. This episode teaches the father a damn good lesson at the end of the movie. But between point A and point B, you have some of the wackiest and hysterical kid capers ever filmed for a comedy short! Not to mention the ULTIMATE sound effect!
Shawnster65 1 year ago
@lulamidge my favorite. loved it when they where making the cake and everyone including Petey were involved in making this
frankd1965 1 year ago
@frankd1965 Yeah! With the directions on how to make the cake being followed, LITERALLY...
Separate 3 eggs and beat em'.(Dickie's part) roll in flour (Petey's part) and
chill in icebox (Spanky sitting on the ice) and Stymie sitting on the stove until well done (that was a bit of racism according to some..)

Shawnster65 1 year ago
Which episode was the one where the Rascals had to sneak into the school at night to get their permission slips for the field trip, and one of them brought the creepy noise maker that Buckwheat sat on? (I think it was called Spooky something or other; they also had a scary encounter with the fake skeleton in the teacher's closet, I think).

@Madabird He dosen't kill the kid, and it's a guy in a gorilla suit trying to chase the kids away from his pond because they're always trespassing on his property.
The episode is called "Bear Shooters." And it's a very funny episode. And you can tell your family from me, and the other fans, that you are NOT lying. :-)
Shawnster65 1 year ago
@Shawnster65 THANK YOU! found the clip. I dont recall seeing the last 10 min, makes more sense. but in my defense that bear suit is most definitely a giant ape suit and he does grab a knife and appears to stab buckwheat in the back. but thanks again i now have proof
Madabird 1 year ago
@Madabird No problem, fellow Rascals fan! And yes the "bear suit" is an ape costume, and the kids thought it was a bear. When they found out what was happening and who was behind it, they got back at the guy in the only way the Rascals knew how, LOL I always laugh my ass off when te one kid shoots him in the ass with the arrow: "OOOOO-HOOOO!" That's some seriously funny stuff!!

This suff is timeless. They could never make this stuff today in a million years, it`s too celebrity oriented now and the kids would act like complete attention whores. I mean seriously, you look at these two kids dancing, you would never ever find two kids today who could act like this spontaneous, they`d either act purposely cute or completely pretentious.

@Shawnster65... Miss Crabtree's school house and Grandma's General Store were located on the Hal Roach Ranch property about a mile from the studio site. If you were to drive up David Avenue between Robertson and Canfield, you would be going right through the old Hal Roach Ranch property.

Nothing beats watching The Little Rascals :)
I've cried from laughing so many times. Spanky is just too cute for words.
"The Kid From Borneo" is still my favorite episode. We' would rent that all the time whenever we headed to Blockbuster when I was a kid.
Now here I am, sixteen years old and bought the complete collection to watch constantly.

The sound effect Spanky makes after he eats the sausage was the voice of Billy Bletcher. His voice is also heard in the sound effects mix when the cake is in the oven. The name of this short is Birthday Blues, it was made in 1932. Anyone in the Los Angeles area might be interested in visiting St. Brendan's Church on 3rd Street and Van Ness - that's the exterior where the last scene of this film was shot.
chrisbungostudios 1 year ago 12
@chrisbungostudios Now THAT'S a nice bit of info, mate. Thanks for that!
If, in the future, California straightens out (morally, politically, and financially) I may just step out and visit the churcch just to walk in the footsteps of the one and only Spanky, the greatest childhood star, EVER.
Thanks for the laughs, 'Spank. Luv ya' \m/
Shawnster65 1 year ago
@Shawnster65 Interestingly... I was out in Los Angeles recently - drove right by that church. If you ever do visit Los Angeles, you MUST visit Culver City where the Hal Roach Studios (which is where the Little Rascals / Our Gang were made) was. Landmark Street in Culver City goes through what was the heart of the studio property.
chrisbungostudios 1 year ago
@chrisbungostudios
I'd seen something about that on a Youtube video a while back--they spoke about the old Hal Roach studios and it's location and how it was demolished in 1960, and how Laurel and Hardy were righjt next door to The Little Rascals, and how Stan and Ollie would play with kids all the time. Very nice little piece and very informative.

I do like The Little Rascals, don't get me wrong, but this kind of humour shouldn't make anyone cry with laughter if they're older than 6, really. Slap-stick humour is what kids love to see but it is very basic, that's why its usually aimed for kids.
Without sounding bias because I'm British but, British humour is possibly the best you can get for a good belly laugh. We're so miserable, but we're honest and make a joke about it, its one thing that makes us "Great" Britain :P lol!

I couldn't have said it better, mate.
After all these years, the situations are still funny, and they still speak of the honest-to goodness innocence of kids, and the way they deal with their situations when unconventional situations arise.
If they were around today, they'd probably be political, or some toilet humor fest like South Park, or some other form of "humor" that passes for comedy today.

the tabasco company needs to use this in a commercial, he, he, he.
dizzyvk 1 year ago 3
@dizzyvk possibly the earliest known use of product placement in a movie.
Actually, the gag with the tabasco in the sausages was a remake of a scene from one of the silent Our Gang films. Only possible earlier sighting of a brand name *might* be a Coca-Cola sign in one of the very first shorts.

The story line was spanky didn't like toast and his older brother Dickey didn't like sausages. The mother insisted that little boys don't eat sausages. But the family pet dog Petey solves that problem by eating the sausages which Dickey passes to him under the table. Spanky seeing his chance goes under the table,replacing Petey. Dickey of course finds him out.
