Uncle Tom's Cabana

[Azzaman9]

'So how hot was she?'

'really hot!'

'no really how hot'

'Well lets just say she had me eating the table...'

!?!?!??

[Sleezemaster]

Geee, I can't imagine why I never saw that one on Saturday morning in the 70's

[blackyurizan]

this cartoon was not funny, it was just stupid.

[minespatch]

This cartoon is awesome! I haven't laughed like this in years.

[Salukiara]

I could see why I did not find this easier then the other toon shorts in the first place. This looked raciest to the black people.

[Beevs]

The biggest flaw here is kind of the retread black caricature you see in the banned cartoons. With Tex's direction, the animation is really good -- you can see Uncle Tom is using the same body shape as the dog character (usually the enemy of Droopy, can't remember his name). He accentuates more expression with the characters, compared to other black toons, who seem to be giant smiley faces with really big lips.

[Natelcs]

Wow, this was morbid and hilarious

[mephisto100973]

And white people were drawn just as dumb looking and inept as the other folks that these animators characatured and parodied. They made fun of everyone. I can't say that all the characatures ever made were fair, but that was the time. People of color didn't make as much out of it then because it was an accepted part of society.

After the 1980's financial deregulation for banks & Wall Street, ya know (Donald Regan's-who was U.S. Secratary of State/C.E.O. of Merryl Lynch- and Ronald Reagan's "Let's cut the bull(Merril Lynch) loose. Then there was the Billion dollar bailout, and proof of CountryWide's and Goldman-Sachs and many other corrupt finacial institutions were brought to light, I personally think the commentary about big business in this cartoon was ahead of it's time. The middle class knew it, the poor knew it.

Wait, thats not Little Eva, thats Red Hot Riding Hood!

"But Uncle Tom! What about all the people who were currently working in the Empire State Building?!"

[UACmarine2O8]

Xscoot is right, it's racist both ways.

[ooozetoons]

7:49 Look how fast the kid changes reactions.

[ooozetoons]

Paul Frees FTW!

[Urikho]

"welcome sucker"

LOL, what kind of company is that!

[pakkanasha]

white people are like this 4 sure

[MrRevelate]

What wonderful cartoons people made in the past. It reminds me of my childhood.

[storrs19]

Uncle Tom sure sounds like the guy who played Andy on Amos N Andy on the television series (not the white guys who imitated black people on the radio, but the black actor on the tv show). I love classic Tex Avery. Forget the stereotypes and enjoy the animation. Like LeGree "rolling in dough" and being a snake. Also the bloodhounds are a nice touch. Thanks so much for sharing this un-PC classic with us all.

[gapingmaw20]

You can't get away with that nowadays...

[LikaLaruku]

I've never seen this one before. But Tex Avery's "REd" is in it!

Wow, & Snidely Whiplash is in it too.

Too bad the contrast is up so high. I can't find a version of this video by anyone I can use for screencaps.

I love the part with the ketchup & the plates. lol.

[nygge]

To hell with skin colors and stuff, why not just enjoy a cartoon for being funny, which it really is :)

[mjd001]

So whats so bad about this again?

[yohannbiimu]

It's "bad" because it depicts black characters as they did back in the day of slavery, but other than that, the characterizations are simply hilarious. There is nothing that is truly racist about it .

[xscoot]

Hell, they show all white people as rich and greedy.

It's racist, but in both ways.

[yohannbiimu]

Preston Blair's animation of "Red" was brilliant.

[yohannbiimu]

The "erection" jokes in this are more scandalous than the supposed "racism." I mean, you can stereotype pretty much ANYBODY, but Black folks. If you do THAT, then you're RACIST.

[peacefuldaisy]

I hadn't gotten the erection jokes until I saw this post. Funny!

[yohannbiimu]

@peacefuldaisy  The most obvious one is at 3.53. I'm shocked that it got by the censors...

[illmitch9]

Where is the stereotype?

[TomMSTie]

The stereotypes in this cartoon are just horrendous...all redheads are hot, phooey!

[Clearie552]

[SPOILER] The "redhead" gets cancer. [/SPOILER]

[TomMSTie]

Skin cancer I'll bet. Gingers should know better then to ever go outside.

[Clearie552]

yea, about that... EVANGELINE is blonde.

[Clearie552]

I was trying to be subtle by putting redhead in quotation marks.

[TomMSTie]

"Okay."

[totalybitchn]

Fuck!!... i saw the big obvious SPOiler signs and still read it ajajja just dont write it at all fucker

[ksharmaine]

@TomMSTie I agree

[thesoraxrikuone]

Classic comedy.

[marksoju]

Yes!! Now THIS is hope! And it IS the truth! Noone cares about the color of your skin! You CAN succeed! When life presents a challenge, throw back some enginuity! Show the naysayers who's boss! This is what keeps America strong!

[doughmayne]

hahahah

[zideeq]

that scoundrel Simon was a jew, great video :P
