I just found out today that Doctor Seuss worked on the Private Snafu series with Chuck Jones and Friz Freleng. They did a bit on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's The Current motivated by the success of Horton Hears a Who.
Which gag are you talking about? The one with the booby-trapped piano? That one was later used (along with the same piece) in two other cartoons, with Bugs Bunny being the intended victim. First, he was supposed to play it on a piano (like Snafu) rigged by Yosemite Sam during a mayoral campaign, and another time on a xylophone rigged by Daffy Duck during a vaudeville act. The gag was later used in an episode of "Animaniacs" featuring Slappy Squirrel.
The lady has buns of steel. Her butt will never look fat... until she blows up.
3:14- booby traps instead of just plain boobs.I'd be disappointed myself.
I love the little Hitler cookoo clock thing. How many possible more ways can we make fun of him? I love it!
what did his halo say on top?

This is my favorite of the Private SNAFU vids. From start to finish, it's a masterpiece. The way Snafu's oblivious to the "ladies" is comedic gold.
"Oh boy...a pie-aah-neh!"
"OOOOHHHHHH BOY...tobacco!"
XD
Yeah, I'm sure that's what your typical serviceman would do :P

Haha. This is just so cool, I'm doing some research papers on early animation and this certainly helped. ^^
Thanks for uploading.

So THAT's where the piano gag from the Coyote and Road Runner show originated. Same song, same booby trap. Same result. Wow.
