bugs bunny & evil scientist ether mishap

[logiclovr]

[makemap]

This makes evil scientist don't look evil.

[t0ny1105]

What is the name of this short???

[erislaton]

I was getting high the other day and this came on tv. I laughed so fucking hard.

[Todd3233]

0:50 NOT. ONE. FUCK.

[Todd3233]

0:36 and not a single fuck was given.

[akabanewtube]

cooommmmeee back heeereee youuu raaabbitt !

[05tonytin]

too funny 

[fromthesidelines]

John T. Smith is indeed the voice of the "Evil Scientist {BOO}". He did voices for Chuck Jones' cartoons from 1949 through '53; best known-of them were the gruff, loud-mouthed foreman in "Homeless Hare", the gravy-obsessed dog in "Chow Hound", and a character similar to the foreman in "Forward March Hare". Note how Carl Stalling makes the scene even funnier by underscoring a lethargic version of the "William Tell Overture"...

@fromthesidelines

I never noticed the underscoring of this scene with the "William Tell Overture".

Thanks for pointing that out!

It's those kinds of subtle touches, that made the work of the "Golden Era" Warner animators so brilliant.

It's so sad that their work was butchered in the 70's. (This scene in particular.)

Three whole generations of kids grew up, never seeing the original, un-cut versions.

[satan666746]

never send a monster to the work of a evil scientist XD

LOL

[yocuzz100]

The mad scientist is actually a spoof of Boris Karloff

[saphireroze001]

@yocuzz100

but voiced by vincent price.

[koxiesarmy]

@saphireroze001 I always thought that too. It was some uncredited guy from their crew. John T. something or other. Still, one of the best Bugs.

[saphireroze001]

@koxiesarmy

yep.

[skinny9283]

Listen to a song called "the eyes of stanley pain" by 'download'.

[brenchtoast44]

0:40 I aint even mad

[TEHL33MONESS]

"Yo Daffy, pass it over."

"I'm seeing shit man, terrible shit!"

[Lars99]

"Yoooouuuu raaaaaaa-bit!"

[anton1990]

I've been wondering for years, does the scientist even have a name?! He's been turning up in a many cartoons.

[7ruthie]

Moments like this are why you should get the Looney Tunes Golden Collection!

[Stereobrainagain]

Haha, I remember watching this as a kid and not understanding why they were acting so silly.

[BigDream64]

coooommmeee baaaaccckkkk heeerrreee...

[spiritgirl41192]

I think what would've made this funnier was if it was in slow-motion, you know like their voices are slowed down and so is the music.

[cbennz514]

The voice of the scientist is done by Vincent Price. I was watching House on Haunted Hill and instantly recognized his voice as the scientist because he scared me as a kid.

[spiritgirl41192]

@cbennz514 That's not Vincent Price. It's actually John T. Smith, who has an uncanny voice similarity to Vincent Price.

[cbennz514]

@spiritgirl41192 For real?! Man, talk about an uncanny resemblance. Thanks for the correction!

[WeJustGotColorTV]

@cbennz514 Actually, the voice is meant to sound like Boris Karloff.

[spewgilist]

Those were the days when a child was allowed to know that ether exists

[ForgottnFingures]

@spewgilist Back when "accidentally" taking drugs was ok xD

[xrockxerx]

Come... Back... Here... You Rabbit!

Nighty... Night

[fedorov28]

the ether walk!

[ProtestantLie]

Pure genius.

[wearearepublic]

Wish I could find the full episode of this one. It is one of the best Bugs ever!

[dfszczepan]

HILARIOUS!!!! They just don't make cartoons like this anymore. Thanks so much for posting!

[HellisLikeNewark]

I feel like that every time I take benadryl.

[blica1]

i remember nearly choking on my own saliva when i first watched this as a kid , ..i laughed uncontrollably !! it's classic !! the slow, lethargic music , the slow motion chase and the scientist and bugs speaking as if they were on drugs !! which , they actually were !!l LMAO ;() !!

[Megan80]

This made me laugh my ass off as a child.

[hobbit151]

You can still find this? I swear there is another episode about "Ether" with bugs bunny that is earlier then this.

[blica1]

vincent price as the evil scientist..

classic !

[pontiac99999999]
