What's Buzzin Buzzard (1943)

[leopizza23]

"You keep out of this!"

[ThisThingEaten]

1:23 What does "No Points" means in this context?

[Vimacone]

@ThisThingEaten it's a reference to the point rationing system that was in effect during WWII.

[legion999]

So how do you cook a vulture to a "golden brown" if it's being boiled in a stew anyway?

[lishakara]

Dang it, now I want a steak!

Hahaha I love how these cartoons are so funny and violent at the same time. I mean, they're trying to murder and cannibalize each other for pete's sake :q If ya think about it!

[BorisFangirl]

I liked the ending most of all.

"Ladies and gentleman, just a moment please. Due to the numerous requests recieved in the last 5 minutes, we are going to show you the steak again."

[MakisOrtega]

7:22 "it's a rabbit! that's what it is!" lol

[toonzguy]

FUNNY!!!!

[jish1231]

hahahahaha!!!!!!

[sandruszka87]

Szukałam tego na yt pół życia! hehe Zarąbista baja hehehe!

[rclaughlin]

This cartoon was made during WW II. Food rationing was in effect, and the audience was almost as famished as the vultures.

[pinkgoldpearls1]

THIS VID PARALLELS REAL LIFE...DONT YOU AGREE

[Metalhead15712]

7:03-7:11 classic gag

[wattsink2009]

6:19_Ah, death by circular saw and conveyor belt. A classic!

[SillyPom]

I wonder if we'll ever arrive at a point someday where we can see a nice fun cartoon with two human characters trying to eat each other.

[HaggisMcCrablice]

@SillyPom -- "Wakiki Wabbit" (Jones, 1943) has two cataways on a desert island who tried to eat one another.

"Along Came Daffy" (Freleng, 1947) has the same premise, with a hungry Yosemite Sam hallucinating his twin brother as an entree. He was never seen again. Perhaps Sam ate him.

In "Half -Fare Hare" (McKimson, 1956) a starving Ralph Kramden functionary tries to eat his pal Ed Norton's bare foot. Norton snatches it away--then prepares to bite into it himself!

[GoblinXXX]

The "pretending to be a rattlesnake" gag at 4"50 is my favorite thing in this whole cartoon.

[MWolfL]

That's one huge "SUCKERS!" sign the rabbit had! XD

[giberish9]

You know Joe, I believe you would too.

[1aundulxaldin]

Meatless Tuesday huh?

Not a problem, because I'm in a good mood since today is Tuesday, and everyone knows, Tuesday is "Fajita Night".

[HaggisMcCrablice]

The rabbit could have been a cousin of Bugs...or at least of the prototype Bugs, aka "Happy Rabbit", from 1938. For another great cartoon with a Jimmy Durante parody, check out Warner Bros. "Gruesome Twosome", from about this same period, with the early naked Tweety design.

[GoblinXXX]

@HaggisMcCrablice He's Bugs' step brother-- Because they have the same "Dad" in Tex Avery. That was pretty much what the rabbit Tex drew for Warner Brothers in the 30s, who later evolved into Bugs, looked and acted like.

[Mr76Yearsago]

Although the War Time humor was good (the steak, closed for the duration ect.) This cartoon was not up to Tex Avery's "classic" standard.

[KonaKonaKaabisteru]

Ending... XDDDDDDDDDD

[yomomma50513]

this reminds me of a kid named sean torres yall should look him up on facebook he has a huge nose and everyone calls him buzzard boy

[tonykilla123]

yesterday was tuesday now itz wednesday lol now they can eat meat but i think they r dead by now

[Winterfang]

That's Funny. Today is Tuesday.

[seanwfrank]

you know me pal

[747flagship]

I have to say this is an unusual cartoon about cannibalistic buzzards, but still funny, especially when the buzzards are spoofs of celebrities. Thanks for uploading!

[lumin1000]

mex with the tex

[pooryorik3]

That was so twisted, lol.  "Real Snake" Haaaaa!!!!

[pesterthefly]

This cartoon is great.

[WebVMan]

I liked the ending..... STEAK.......

[mortvia]

OMG I forgot how awesome that steak looked....

[changyimei]

Gotta love the Jimmy Durante voice :)

[siralucard19]

Cannibal Vultures...1943, during that time the russinas from Leningrad and from teh battlefield where really eating oneanother

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

lol funniest cartoon about cannibalizing.

[stuffitTX]

Thank you gobearsnfl, I like my buzzard made simple, with salt and pepper.

[baxterfilms]

Fred Quimby, the cartoon producer, hated this one.

[UrbanTenant]

do these 2 appears in other cartoons?

[ironbuttermilk]

You can eat snake. It's good.

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

@ironbuttermilk

not just good, delicious. pretty much replace the fish in any dish and its great.

[MDthornton83]

Great show.

[deadmanreloaded]

why didnt they just drink the stew minus the meat? and if they can get so much food supplies, theres no food?

MAKES NO SENSE DAMN IT!

[CyberXIII]

It's not SUPPOSED to make sense.

[GundamBlueDestiny]

I love the scene with the snake!

"How do you liek that? he's even a-scared fo a snake. Ha-ha-!" *Sees a real snake, screams,a nd passes out.

"And so am I."

[bluer68]

this cartoon almost remind me of Spy vs Spy..........LOL

[Daltanias]

In 4:47, I see a mistake, the black buzzard begin to chase to the other with the knife, and in 4:49 the other buzzard was chasing to the black buzzard with the knife.

[Nemesis13000]

whoa nice ur right

[GundamBlueDestiny]

yeah, seen something similar in the Chip & dale short "Two Chips and a Miss" where Dale enters the club first and then chip, but Chip reaches the dressing room first. Go figure.

[rmaxinmass]

One of the vultures is based on Jimmy Durante. Does anyone know who the other vulture is suposed to be?

[Ascensiam]

This was, by any means, created in the middle of WW2, so it bears many scars from it.

[Andyhinds]

Tex Avery. A cartoonist who could not put a foot wrong!

[tecramos]

steak i mean

[tecramos]

mmmmm good stake

[MalFREAKINGcolm]

wow, this is a masterpiece!

Tex Avery must've had the most amazing gag man.

[eatsleepbike]

love those crazy vulture molars!

[glowworm2]

I first saw this cartoon when I was 5 years old and was greatly disgusted and traumatized by the two cannibalistic vultures-especially when Joe catches the Durante vulture in his mouth. Blame my dad for letting me watch this stuff unsupervised. Now I love it!

[Phatnick21]

let's just hope you don't like pork.

[MWolfL]

Hah, the other buzzard (the one who's not Joe) is voiced by Jimmy Durante! Either that or it's someone doing his voice but either way I love his voice and sense of humor.

[PintheDog]

Something bugged me about the knife scene. One minute, it looks like Joe's the one being chased, but it abruptly switches to the other buzzard being chased instead.

[MWolfL]

Maybe Joe stole the knife offscreen and roles ended up reversed. If that's true then Tex Avery forgot to show that happening.

[Phatnick21]

or more likely he had to cut the scene for time's sake, the cartoons already over 8 minutes while most didn't.

[MWolfL]

I think you're guess may be more right than mine. Eh, anything acted out is sure to have bloopers in it. My favorite is when the bloopers aren't cut out of the film. That actually happened with one Abbot and Costello episode, they had two bloopers that was left in! Of course the fact that it was done live helped with that. One was when a character accidentally broke a prop and Costello called for a replacement (the irony was that it was going to get broken later anyways)...darn, out of room. :(

[DritonGusia]

I'm gonna watch this great cartoons till I'll die... I'll never get tired of it... psychodelic hummor LOL... it's sad how its popularity is decreasing theese days. Modern cartoons they usualy suck... and they don't have a damn artistic soul but comercial bullshit so ugly.

Long live oldies!

[60sThru80s]

Absolutely DritonGusia. It seems to me that when the computers came in, the talent went out.

[Lililo78]

"Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh Me toooooooooooooooo" XD

[cwk12782]

That's a nice looking steak, but I don't believe it's a T-bone.

[HyperSonicSquall]

you could see the "T bone" near it's top

[Alcairo02]

This cartoon is funny!

[Happytreefriendsfan3]

thank you so much you are the good of the tex avery cartoons!
