Ever since they found that kid at the bottom of the grand canyon, still gripping his little sign “Yipes!”…
I’ve got a copy of the Porky “SOB” clip on video tape somewhere around here. Yes, it’s legit and as it was explained to me, there were a number of Toons produced “for the boys” that walked a line we won’t see on TV today.

“Life, by it’s very nature, is self gratifying. If it also happens to be good or bad, that is purely coincidence.”
That’s All, Folks!
The End.
The “Porky blooper” was in fact created for a Warner Bros. blooper reel.
I remember hearing something about those old Red-Hot Riding Hood cartoons…apparently in one the wolf gets a hard-on.
I also remember a rabbit vs. the turtle Bugs Bunny cartoon. All of Bugs’ gangster rabbit friends bet on Bugs to win. When he lost, the gangsters all shot themselves in the head. A few years later, I saw the same cartoon, but w/out the ending.
No. The most famous line in The Virginian is “When you call me that, smile.” The book never uses the words “son of a bitch” (it would have been much too scandalous back in 1902, when it was written), though it’s obvious what phrase the author means.
ok while we are kind of on the subject.
Does anyone know of a black and white version where Yosimitie Sam said “rag a frag a I hate that fucking rabbit”?
or did I mis remember seeing that at some point and time?

A few years ago there was a special screening of a wartime anti-nazi Donald Duck propaganda cartoon at the Caans (sp) Film Festival. One of the most enduring images from it is Donald working ala Charlie Chaplain on a bomb factory assembly line where the parts keep coming faster and faster.
Suddenly a bell rings and a sign reading “Vacation Time” lights up. A movie screen rolls down in front of Donald and shows tree lined hills and scenery for a few seconds and then rolls back up so that the work may continue.
This was the first time the cartoon had been shown for decades and it was by invitation only. Seating was for a few hundred and the requests for tickets were in the thousands. Viewing it was the ne plus ultra for that particular festival. Spielberg may have been involved IIRC.
Sadly, many of the sceens involving guns and violence are being cut from the commercial airing of Warner Brothers cartoons. This is a crime against humanity and people will rot in Hell for it. At least if I have it my way they will.
Uh, that Donald Duck cartoon is kept under wraps becuase Don is wearing a Nazi uniform, not because of guns or violence . . . understandable at the time, but you can see how Disney dosn’t want it floating around. They’re already the scapegoat for pretty much every lunitic fringe group anyway.
And not for the valid reason, that they’ve kept the art of animation as kiddie stuff for what, 30 years now?
Most WB cartoons are censored because of now-inapropriate racial context, though some for violence, too.
Oddly enough, no one seems to have a problem shwowing Tom and Jerry . . .

The Donald Duck cartoon Zenster is describing is called “Der Fuehrer’s Face”, based on the song of the same name. It won the Oscar for best animated short in 1943. Disney has voluntarily pulled it from distribution, probably because of fearing the public’s reaction to seeing Donald D dressed like a Nazi. I know, I know, very lame, but this is the same company that pulled “Song of the South” out of fear of negative public comment.
The Warner Brothers shorts that contained “adult” language were the Private Snafu shorts. They were all instructional/morale boosting shorts produced solely for the Armed Forces, and were never meant to be screened for the public. I believe one PS cartoon featured Bugs Bunny, but most of them were Snafu only, plus his pal Technical Fairy First Class. All the top WB directors worked on these shorts, and Ted Geisel (aka Dr. Suess) wrote many of the scripts. Some of the animation was reused in later shorts (e.g., parts of “Pvt. Snafu vs. Malaria Mike” ended up in “The Fighting 69 1/2th.”). They are available on DVD. For more info, visit http://www.toonzone.net/brian/video/dvd/snafu.html
Malarky–no, the wolf in “Red Hot Riding Hood” does not get a hard-on. Instead, his whole body rises into the air and stiffens, kind of making his whole body resemble an erection. MGM made Avery tone down the drawing; in an earlier version, the resemblance was very obvious.
Also, the tortoise vs Bugs cartoon is not the only one missing the suicide. Virtually every suicide shot done in WB cartoons is missing; for example, Avery’s “Detouring America” (the hilarious “croaking frog” scene), and tons of Bob Clampett’s. Chalk up another dubious victory for political correctness.
Sofa King–There’s also the great “Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarves”, which hasn’t been shown in decades.
Guy Propski:
You are quite correct. I would DEARLY love to see “Der Fuhrer’s Face”, which I’ve heard about for years. Everytinme someone teases me with the prospect, though (as in the A&E Special “Cartoons Go to War”), they chicken out.
On the other hand, I’ve seen "Coal Black and the Sebben Dwarves many, many times. Even on TV (it was on PBS). It’s insulting as hell, but it has an incredible energy and some gorgeous animated scenes. A real Love It/Hate It cartoon.
If you really want to see some odd Disney stuff, look up the delected scenes from Fantasia in the book “Cartoon Confidential”. For years I wondered why there is a peculiar “break” in Beethoven’s “Pastorale” Symphony. Now I know that it’s because of a cut they had to make in the cartoon. They also “re-framed” some shots in the same sequence to eliminate some questionable racial stereotypes. In their defence, I note that such scenes were NOT considered insulting in their day.
I probably shouldn’t mention at this point that I have a copy.
If you really want to see the extreme of Disney proaganda, look for a short entitled “Education for Death.” It gives the story of a young German youth being brought up in the Nazi way of life and has a much darker ending than almost any Disney short you can find.
Eutychus55:
Okay, now I have to meet you. If your copy of “Der Fuhrer’s Face” weren’t enough, that Nazi film would do it.
Where the heck do you find this stuff? And where can I see a copy of DFF?
It’s not what you know, it’s who you know. 
E-mail me … I’m sure we can work something out.
To view the Porky cartoon in all its glory:
