AND a throwback to groucho marx's game show days? This cartoon rules! Tho i think the one piano joke was in rhapsody rabbit. Oh well, no point in splitting hairs over it.
@swaggakid00010 - You're right. They couldn't get away with "You Beat Your Wife" today! Groucho Marx's game show was actually called "You Bet Your Life". I've seen it in reruns. If someone mentioned the secret word on his show, a toy duck (which resembled Groucho) with a card in its beak with the secret word would drop down into camera view.
The line about "wet clothes into a dry martini" was previously uttered by Robert Benchley in "The Major and the Minor" (1942) {"Why don't you get out of that wet coat and into a dry martini?"}, and before him, Charles Butterworth in "Every Day's A Holiday" (1937) {"You ought to get out of those wet clothes and into a dry martini"}. Groucho Marx NEVER said that line....
@fromthesidelines Too true. Too true. But it just sounds like something he would say with his smart mouth. Y'know. . . he shot an elephant in his pajamas, how he got in the pajamas, he'll never know. I've got a good mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it. LOL. I can really imagine Groucho saying the martini line all the time
Originally released in October 1956. "1351 N. Van Ness, Hollywood", as listed in the newspaper want ad at :46, was actually the address of the studio's animation department. "QTTV Television Center" {1:01} is a thinly disguised variation of "CBS Television City" (and seen again in "People Are Bunny"). "Liberace " is also parodied {his brother George was also his orchestra leader on his TV show at the time, often appearing on camera}.
I remember that shot at 3:23 was also used by Cartoon Network in the mid-to-late 1990s whenever the station would have technical difficulties. It sure helped me finally understand what the cutting to black followed by a still graphic (other stations used their own logos) meant!
@BWayans2001 It's a great question. If you answer "yes," that means you actually used to beat your wife. If you answer "no," that means you're still beating your wife. If you've never beat your wife or even been married, it's hard to decide how to answer! lol

While not the best in the animation department (the mouth movement is rather stiff) this is still a favorite of mine. Isn't it, fellas?

"About time television discovered my talents."
He's absolutely right! We don't want modern cartoons! We want the television stations to bring back Bugs Bunny! Am I right?
