  • Notice how the bolts on the door in the room Dora's 'trapped' in are on her side... she could have unlocked the door at any point.

    Women.

  • A ground breaking cartoon stylistically that nearly got Chuck Jones fired. Go figure.

    The toon parodies a series of books for boys, called The Rover Boys, and period melodramas (like the 1890s) where villains were dastardly cads, women pure as the driven snow, and heroes stout hearted fellows, and so on

  • @KingRidley That guy is the running gag. He shows up a few times, who knows why, until the end, when he provides a surprise ending. A running gag character, usually someone pretty goofy, was a common gimmick used in a lot of Warner Bros cartoons. There was one in the Isle of Pingo Pongo who kept showing up and saying "N n n now boss?" and the narrator would say "not yet" until the end, when he would finally say "Yes now". There were many others.

  • I Hate Dick!

  • Those Pony YTP brought me here.

  • Confound those ponies.

  • @LuwiigiMaster Are you talking about MLP?

  • Almost seventy years, and this is still funny.

  • Yoohoo! Yoohoo! Yoohoo!

  • Oh god.. I'm so amused by the sound of the car. RUBBER DUCKY.
