Tom Slick: Bad Year Blimp Race

[MrKeihn]

wow im from muncie indiana and never even heard about this!!!

[PathfinderMac]

This is another Classic for me I'm 54 now so I got to watch this in the sixties,now I watch 60's cartoons late at night after smokin' a bomber Laughing my ass off at the skits Reminenicing my pass' Us Baby Boomers are the coolest in history,and always will be.

[WonderWomanFan4life]

LOL great video

[HolyCross9]

She was aiming for Marigold?! And I laughed hilariously when Baron got himself struck in the posterior by one of Gertie's arrows!

[Gundamknight100]

I bet that Otto and Crucher must be based on Professor Fate and Max.

[RPULTZ69]

There's no such word as fail in Auto Racing.

[amberola1b]

not only were the cartoons of the 70`s cool but the theme songs were just as memorable and they actually put some thought into the arrangements. they were just plain great

[MsDragonChild]

@amberola1b so true! I was 7 the last time I heard these theme songs, I'm now 17 and can still sing them from memory!

[johnny2366]

haha...loved this cartoon...we always thought it was so cool that it "took place" in our home town ( muncie indiana )

[1930FORDSEDAN]

@johnny2366 ... In one episode when Tom was asked about, "What was so great about "The Appleless Indian 500" ? Tom replied "Well, It gets you out of Muncie" ... LOL ..

[ttharold]

@1930FORDSEDAN What? Are you puttin' me on? Ha! I never caught that part!

[MrKeihn]

@johnny2366 yea i just found out myself it took place in muncie

[scenario1]

"I told you not to FUCK with me!... he hit ME!"

[ruffeeh]

BRING AMBERLAMPS

[melollylolly]

tom slick was the essence of cool...reminds me of actor Kevin Bacon...

[gqjohnny]

Years later Tom Slick became a newscaster and changed his name to Ted Koppel

[ofm49]

SLICKNESS. Tom and the Thunder Bolt Grease Slapper (coverted or not) are an unstopable combination. Yaaay!

[Monica1C3]

Thanks for posting this. I have the DVD but haven't seen all of the episodes yet. I've never seen this one. Always fun, especially the Moster Rally episode (the Red Corpusle Bloodmobile ;-).

[jpatt1000]

Check out 0:17. It's ol' Tom after hitting the bars! Alcohol makes him turn into his alter ego Harvey Wallbanger! His major superpowers are Fuzzy Vision and Mega Delayed Reaction!

[19trebor60]

Funny how Tom looks a lot like Ritchie Cunningham from happy days. I wonder if missus C knew Howie had a love child.

[zapkvr]

Jay Ward produced George of the Jungle, Tom Slick and Super Chicken. A lot of the voices were former Fractured Fairy Tales and Fractured Flickers alumnus. I had forgotten completely Baron Otto Matic. I LOVED this cartoon when I was a young lad and it still stands up today. I wish there was a DVD.

[acla9000]

You're right. It would be really worth lauching Jay Ward's cartoons in DVD.

[KrazyKartoonKid]

George of The Jungle (The Classic Collection) is already out on DVD

[acla9000]

Wow, good to hear of this! Thank you!!

[02Ctu2486]

@zapkvr They did make a DVD: just look for it on the internet and you will find the DVD has all the George of the Jungle, Tom Slick, and Super Chicken episodes!!! Awesome!!!

[thevisualboy37]

@zapkvr (One year later...)

Hey, there's a DVD of the entire George of the Jungle series out now! And not the suck-tastic Flash one (well, that too), the ORIGINAL!

[acla9000]

This show was great! I didn't know that June Foray voiced Nell Fenwick and Marigold. She also 'played' Hazel the Witch (the one that wanted to cook Bugs Bunny in her cauldron) in Looney Tunes and many characters in Hanna-Barbera cartoons such as Jokey Smurf in 'Smurfs' (Sorry, at the moment I only remembered this one). Thanks for posting!

[peternoer]

june forray as marigold... who were the producers of this show?

[Durbelethwen]

The Show was made by the same people who made Rocky and Bullwinkle.

[ACcountryFan]

Jay Ward and company did this cartoon. Paul Frees is the lead voice actor, as Baron Otto Matic and the racetrack announcer; June Foray as Marigold; Bill Scott as Tom Slick and Gertie; and Daws Butler as the Baron's side-kick, Clutcher, using his Frank Fontaine/Crazy Guggenheim meets Marlon Brando voice, similar to the way he voiced Mr Jinx.

Tom Slick aired as part of GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE.

[HEYoREIDO]

what was the cartoon that looked like this but it was a race with all different types of over the top cars and trucks. with monsters and random cartoon characters?

[knowallcity]

Whacky Racers

[HEYoREIDO]

yesssssss. thanks homie.

[CandyEyeProductions]

lets chat

someone want to chat oV

[dretyn123]

Oh man, Tom Slick, this brings back memories.

[LadyMallard]

Did it again, misspelled the "Thunderbolt Grease Slapper," I really need to read, what I write. Sorry about that Tom.

[LadyMallard]

Sorry about the unintentional bloopers, concerning the Baron who's name is Otto Matic not the other spelling, and I misspelled poor Clutcher's name, sorry about that, anyway this is what I ment to write. Still love, all the great characters. Bill Scott aka Dudley Doright and June Foray (met her once, lovely lady) aka Nell Fenwick provide great lead voices for Tom & Marigold.

[LadyMallard]

I still love these cartoons. Hero, Tom Slick and the Thunderblot Grease Slapper, (great name for a car or blimp) aginst Baron Auto Matic(Love the name & Paul Frees, is always a great Villain voice, as well as Hero. He is Fluid Man, of the Impossibles.) and his Chain Drive Skyhooker, poor Clucker, always getting pummeled. I'm alittle worried about Gerti Growler, anywhere near sharp objects, like arrows, sounds dangerous to me. Great cartoons I've been a fan for many yrs. Thanks for the memories!

[lsmftymf]

The narrator sounds exactly like the author Richard Ben Cramer. Gertie Growler looks like Johnny Carson's Aunt Blabby. The funniest character in the "Tom Slick" cartoons is Clutcher who sounds like a dopey Greg Gumbel.

[Droopy777]

Tom Slick, Tom Slick.

Let me tell you why, he the best of all the guys.

Tom Slick, Tom Slick.

In the Thunderbolt Greaseslapper once he's on your tail, he won't quit because you know there's no such word as fail to:

Tom Slick, Tom Slick.

[RobDog65]

Just the name of his car--the "Thunderbolt Grease-Slapper"--is big-laugh worthy. ^_^

[TrueAgendaSetter]

I'm surprised Hollywood hasn't made a Tom Slick movie starring Brendan Fraser. I mean, he's already been George of the Jungle and Dudley Doright, he might as well complete the trilogy.

[dlnorton3001]

I think he's having too much fun running around with Mummies and Scorpion Kings...

[jdrothrock]

Muncie Indiana hell thats just a few miles away!

[brabon]

the wachowskis have just announced that this will be their next project...by hook or by crook they shall rape all your childhood memories

[zobajoe]

Oh come on Speed Racer wasn't that bad.

[skoozeroni]

Classic Tom Slick! Is there any way you can post George of the Jungle's cartoon about rescuing the 300 lb. Pearl and returning it to the Sheikh of Lottamoola?

[kes1963]

i always liked tom slick "yay"

[dancer5612004]

Is that Jonathan Winters as the old lady? HA, HA, HA, HA!

[Vincek88]

Sounds like him, but it's writer/voice talent Bill Scott who also plays Tom, and George of the Jungle, and Super Chicken. Busy guy!

[emjee]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!!!!

[mailgirlsandiego]

....but one of these kassaba melons is really a bomb!! YAAAYYY!!!!

[pcharboneau1]

why fer did you shoot a big raggedy hole into my bloon?? LOL

[AsangaBF]

[CopodeNieve77]

[ThisDream]

[ajt16]

what are you talking about?

[ThisDream]

pooooooytdgerwhtrgcjyrjytezaky­6okr uyovut

[coocooduck]

rubber baby buggy bumpers!

[1more4theroad]

I THOUGHT so! Tom's voice is by none other than Bill Scott, who also voices Dudley Do-Right. June Foray provided the voice talent for Tom's gf. And just where would you have heard her voice? Try the 'harmless' granny in Tweety and Sylvester! I bet those people never realized what lasting memories they would leave by simply doing their job! May God bless them all!

[ten8goa]

BARON OTTO MATIC

[ten8goa]

THATS THE VOICE OF THE BERGERMEISTER

[giangi35]

Guys, i'm Italian 35 years old but i remember this ...... great i think i was 10 years olld.

Does somebody exactly the year??

Thanks

[1more4theroad]

This series was on TV from 1967 to 1968. Only 17 different titles were made. I am old enough to remember them being first run. You must have found them in syndication. Funny how something like this sticks with someone after all these years!

[qwuad60]

They were great old cartoons and yes they stick with you.

[foxmuldr]

Wow... quite a thing. "Memories, all alone in the moonlight..."

[Lonelygstar]

that was terrible.

[honeegrrl]

Gertie doesn't like Marigold.

[zdorama]

Never noticed as a kid that Gertie Growler's voice ws Super-Chicken's!

[monsteranus]

What a long reach Otto Matic has with that pipe wrench!!!

[erinhonduras]

i love how he ALWAYS converted the thunderbolt grease slapper

it was a submarine, air balloon, train engine.

it was really quite amazing :]]

gertie is amazingggg

[deloufu]

Hey woof221 thank you for posting this it's brought back many memories

[jase7474]

A very cool cartoon in the day. Liked them all from Rocky and Bullwinkle to Go-Go Gophers.

[Dibrini]

The Narrator sounds like the "Assman" doctor from "Seinfeld."

[disneyfan81]

Actually, he sounds to me like Howard Cosell

[Dibrini]

I can see that, I always loved this cartoon.

[kwgthacher]

so great - related to Super Chicken on George of the Jungle!!!!

[rchslion14]

Where are the apple-less Indians? You know, home of the Appleless Indian 500. That was a hilarious episode.

[honeegrrl]

Gertie didn't like Marigold.

[3lee]

also I like the simple "yeah" or "boo" it was so simple but effective. Good stuff!!!!

[3lee]

this is awsome! I watched these when I was a kid in 1983 or so....

[terry1919]

hello!! I'm Stretch Snapback CEO of the Bad Year Blubber company makers makers of products for home industry and banking

if your check bounces it's a Bad year

[SaleGuy]

A parody of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company!

[desscribe]

I would love to see the undersea-race episode with Sonya Narr and her Aqua-Nuts. (One of my friends has the last name Narr...every time she asks for something, I have to resist the urge to say "Yes Miss Narr" in the Aqua-Nuts voice.)

[terry1919]

I WANT MORE!!!

[williammcc1]

I loved this as a child thank you very much.

[ramester]

The words 'Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers' still make me cringe!!!!! Great

[PorkisFood]

nearly forgot. Do you have the Tom Slick race where the creature from the sea demanded reconstituted catfish whiskers? That one slayed me as a kid.

[PorkisFood]

It was always Muncie, Indiana! I hope I can find the old Fractured Flickers on here, too! Many thanks for bringing back great memories.

[bisnagaboy]

Granny Gertie was hella cool and hella funny!

[cubbi1977]

I have not seen these in years, thank you for bringing it back.

[Stenchachaun]

Thanks! I have been trying to find this for the past eight years!

Please post more, or let me know where to buy a copy!

[Jim660r]

Does anyone know where I can download pictures and videos of Tom Slick cartoons?

[MisterZOT]

i truely think tom slick could beat speed racer at pikes

peak. yeah, tom!

[MrAlQ]

I'm 10 years old again.... and this came before Wacky Races

[Gernot]

I grew up on these cartoons in the '60's on ABC-TV on Saturday mornings! Thanks for posting all of 'em! :)

[Inframan01]

YEAH BABY! Tom can totally kick Speed racers buttocks!! HAW!

[EccentricGentelman]

Oh this is just a rip-off of Wacky Races.

[Scarletspeedster68]

No it isn't, as Tom Slick was produced by Jay Ward in 1967 as part of George of the Jungle (including Super Chicken, btw) where Wacky Races was produced by Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera in 1969.

[raohmelloh]

great stuff! Thanks

[rich0529]

Thank you for posting the Tom Slick cartoon. Along with George of the Jungle and Super Chicken, this brought back alot of memories.
