[apology for hijacking, but I can’t help myself]
Shayna, mon cheri, let me take you to zee Cazbah, where we can make zee beautiful music togezair . . .
Not a complete hijack, as I believe Pepe LePew actually said that stuff. (Minus Shanyna’s name of course)
As DAVEW0071 pointed out Foghorn’s character came from radio as did most of the catchprases on Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies. They swiped a lot of lines from radio shows and movies of the 30s and 40s like Lou Costello’s “I’m a bad little boy.” Phrases such as “he don’t know me vewy well, do he” were the equivalent of today’s “drop the chalupa” though possibly less commercial.
Sylvester: Thufferin’ thuccotash!
What are the exact quotes from, IIRC, the King Arthur one where Bugs is Knighting the dude, whacking him on the head with the sword each time?
“Arise, Duke of Earl … {WHAP} … Arise, Sir Loin of Beef … {WHAP} …”
What were the other titles he “bestowed” on him?
My favorite is from the Tazmanian Devil. After Bugs tosses him in a hole and blows him up (or something to that effect), Taz comes back and says :
“Whyfore you bury me in the cold, cold ground?”
Daffy: “Oh, that’s just dandy. Ha, ha, that’s rich, I’ll say. Now how 'bout some color!” <brush comes in and paints Daffy every color on the palette> “NOT ME YOU SLOP ARTIST!!”
Sylvester: “Firtht, I am happy, for I am to marry the fair Meliththa. Then, I am furiouth, for I dethpithe the Thcarlet Puh- Puh- Pumpernickel.” (Now wipe the spit off your monitors.)
Baby Bear (getting a canister to fill his father’s pipe on Father’s Day): “G-U-N P-O-W-D-E-R. Tobacco.”
And of course one of the greatest, One Froggy Evening had no spoken dialog at all.
Ya gotta get up early in the morning to outsmart this rabbit!
Or one that is perfect for the SDMB…
I refuse to look up any more reference because you talk mean to me. Say you’re sorry.
And the classic,
What’s up, Doc?
[aside to BratMan]I wood go to zee Cazbah vis ew any day, mon cheri! :D[/aside]
(daffy as robin hood, at fencing practice)
Ho! Ha-ha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Thrust! Spin! (quarterstaff comes up and knocks his beak into a 90-degree angle)
(tries it again)
Ho! Ha-ha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Thrust! Spin! (quarterstaff comes up and knocks his beak into a 90-degree angle)
(puts down the quarterstaff, tries to make sure he’s got all the words right)
Ho, ha-ha, guard, turn, parry, thrust, spin - (his beak springs up into a 90-degree angle of its own accord)
Daffy, as the mustache bandit, is being chased around the ledge of a skyscraper by Porky, and as Porky runs off the edge and is about to fall to his doom, Daffy yanks him back and says, “Awfully sporting of the little black duck, eh?” I fall to pieces every time I see it.
As my wife will attest, Daffy is my favorite, but Foghorn Leghorn actually runs a close second.
Actually, “Are you a Daffy person or a Bugs person?” would be a pretty decent thread.
Do you remember a cartoon that didn’t feature any of the typical characters, but was about a family whose newborn baby got mixed up with an alien baby?
The family tries to make the best of it, shrugging off their kids’ super-abilities.
Finally the UFO comes back and explains the mix-up. They have the human kid, who they call “Yob” (‘Boy’ backwards, get it?).
The reason I bring this up is, the Republican currently running for Congress in my district is named Chuck Yob.
EVERY SINGLE TIME I see his name I think, “raised by aliens.”
I thought it was:
“Ho! Ha-ha! Guard! Turn! Parry! Dodge! Spin! Ha-thrust!”<whack-sproiing-thumprattle–crikik (as he straightens his bill>
And his “thrust” is more of an “clobber over the head” move. It proves irrelevant, though, since Friar Porky uses a twig to disarm him in the middle of the next spin…
That’s one of my all-time favorite scenes.
Who DOESN’T go through a crowd of people and say:
“'scuse me, pardon me, 'scuse me, I beg your pardon, ‘scuse me, comin’ though”
Also during a re-telling of Little Red Riding Hood, Bugs meets the wolf who is now dressed in the grandmother’s night gown.
Bugs: “Aw, gramma. You’re just a wolf in cheap clothing.”
Sly look at the camera. Classic.
Milo: If you remember, all of that is a dream that the father is having in the waiting room while his wife is giving birth. The nurse wakes him up and he goes to look in the nursery and the braclet on the baby’s wrist reads “YOB.”
As to the other titles bestowed, one of them was “Arise, Quarter to Ten”
Hmmm, I always thought that it was Paulie the Puma, as in:
“Ooooh, I’ll have a whole lotta lumps!”
Maybe, I’m not 100% positive on his name, just always though it was Pete, but whenever I’m offered tea, I’m always tempted to say, “mmmm, cwoffee!”
“How come they got to put the South so far South?” (I bring this one into play every time I have to drive to FL to see relatives).
Smokey the Genie: “I’ll tell you what, my furry, little, buck-toothed pal.”
Penguins is practically chickens. (Said of Chilly, the only penguin born in captivity in Hoboken, NJ). This is also the cartoon where Bugs keeps meeting Humphrey Bogart ala Treasure of the Sierra Madre (“Pardon me, but could you help out a fellow American whose down on his luck?” Bugs digs in his pocket, flips a dime and says, “Hit the road.”).
“My spurting blood?!” Bugs in What’s Opera Doc?
Mr. Cynical–it’s Pete Puma.
Let’s see, what other open questions.
The flying saucer baby toon is “Rocket-Bye Baby” (1956). Yes, it was a dream, but the kicker at the end showed the human baby wearing a “YOB” bracelet in the maternity ward.
I tried to find the other titles from “Rabbit Hood”, but all I can remember is “Sir Milk of Magnesia” and “Sir Cab of Calloway.”
Oh Belvedere, come here boy
Carrots wait for no one so I eat them now, before they are eaten by some slobby cow
That girl’s like the road from Houston to Dallas, no curves
What’s all the hubbub, Bub? (my #1 favorite, I named my cat Hubbub just so I could say that occasionally)
I’m a pointer see? Dere it is, Dere it is.
I forgot about that one! He also says he’s part labrador retriever. Porky doesn’t believe him.
Dog: Have you got a labrador?
Porky: N-n-n-no
Dog: If you haven’t got a labrador, how can I retrieve it for you?
Or something like that, I haven’t seen it in a long time.
