Watching the old WB cartoons on CN, and the Elmer Fudd cartoon “Ant Pasted”. It’s Elmer at war with an ant hill. Guess I’m having a brain fart, but I can’t figure out the pun of the title. Anyone? 
Ant paste was a home insecticide, used for ants, although that wasn’t the brand name. Getting pasted was slang for getting a beating. Thus a rather labored pun was born.
It’s very sad how excited I get when something comes up that I am not old enough to have known/experienced.
thanks - I would never have guessed either of those.
… not to be confused with the 3 Stooges short where Curley thinks a container of ant paste in the pantry is “antipasto” …
