While not my favorite Warner Bros. cartoon character, I have to admit that Foghorn Leghorn gets some of the best lines!
“That boy’s about as sharp as a sackful of wet mice.”
“Fortunately, I always keep my feathers numbered for just such an emergency.”
“On second thought, I better not look. I just might be in there.”
Anybody else got any favorite Leghornisms?
“That, AH SAY, That boy’s got the attention span of an overripe grapefruit”
and my all-time favorite:
“Sody Pop.” (Foghorn grabs test-tube filled with volitile chemicals) “Watch it feee-izzz” (he puts his thumb over the top and shakes. An earth-shattering Ka-Boom follows, as night follows day)
Fenris
“I-I-I know what you’re gonna say son. When two halves is gone there’s nuthin’ left - and you’re right. It’s a little ol’ worm who wasn’t there. Two nuthins is nuthin’. That’s mathematics son. You can argue with me but you can’t argue with figures. Two half nuthins is a whole nuthin’.”
“Ah keep a-pitchin 'em and you keep a-missing 'em.”
I use “Yaw built too low! Tha’ good ones go right over yaw head!” all the time when I’m a woosher or wooshee.
“subtle as a hand grenade in a barrel of oatmeal…”
That boy’s about as sharp as a bowling ball.
That’s, Ah say, that’s a joke, son!
“You gotta keep your eye on the ball, son. Eye. Ball. Eyeball. Almost had a joke, there, almost, that is.”
There’s something a little “ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww” about a kid that don’t play baseball.
Go away kid, you’re bothering me.
“Pipe-full-o-fun kit number 7?” (not a great quote, but the episode cracks me up.)
This is gonna cause more confusion than a mouse at a burlesque show!
Not him personally but “Ah say, ah say, ONE o’ these things has justgotta be a horse!”
Clunk enough people and we’ll have a whole nation of lumpheads.
Look sister, is any of this filtering through that little blue bonnet of yours?
She reminds me of Paul Revere’s ride - a little light in the belfry.
Well boll, AH say, boll my weevel!
“Pay attention to me when I’m talking to you, son.”
He’s about as sharp as a mashed potato sandwich.
Boy’s so dumb he thinks the Mexican Border pays rent.
Didn’t he say “You’ve got to be a magician nowadays to hold a kid’s attention for more than five minutes”? It’s been so long since I watched any of those cartoons I can’t quite remember.
While playing “hide-n-go seek” with Egbert, the percocious chick, Egbert uses a slate and chalk to mathematically find Foghorn Leghorn. And, even though Foghorn was hiding elsewhere, Foghorn says: “I better not look…I just might be in there!” - Jinx
