Shamefull to say but I still remember the Super Chicken jingle:
When you find your self in danger, when you're threatened by a stranger, when it looks like you will take a licking...cluck cluck cluck cluck...there is someone waiting who will hurry up and rescue you.....just callllll for Super Chicken CLUCK CLUCK

Whenever my wife would complain about something she had to do at work, I'd say, "You know what Super Chicken used to say to Fred, right?"

Jambi has no hands......

Definitely multi-tiered comedy - silly and banal enough for the childish mind but sarcastic and cutting with the innuendo and social undertones. Kind of a 'Mad Magazine' type show ostensibly masquerading as a kids show - it spawned a lot of other splinter ideas like (I believe) "PeeWee's Playhouse" with Paul Reubens. There were a lot of over-the-heads-of-the-kids gags there, for sure.

For those that aren't familiar, Jambi is a disembodied genie head in a box. In one episode, he was lamenting not having any hands, so they got him some. He was obviously delighted and said:

"Boy, I've got something I've been wanting to do with these for a LONG TIME!" and disappears.

:D:D:D

Recently I started watching the first season of the old Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Bullwinkle Moose cartoons that were originally broadcast back in the late 50s and early 60s. Even though they were shown 60+ years ago, they are still funny, and maybe even funnier than when I saw them in childhood. Really and truly I have become convinced that a lot of the humor was directed at the parents, because I'm sure the kids wouldn't have understood a lot of the jokes. Kids probably would not have understood the Cold War setting prevalent in the cartoons which is now part of history.


Do you have any Roadrunner in there, beep beep. The ACME anvil that always fell. Can't out run the Roadrunner. Rocky and Bullwinkle were the best. Watched them every Saturday.
 
Who remembers....

....Commander McBragg?

"With a cannon in his hand, he can defeat any man!"

"Or so says Commander McBragg".

"Quite"

I think out of the modern stuff "Phineas and Ferb" are my favorites. Whenever their sister, Candace, is plotting against them, you hear the wicked witch theme from the 'Wizard of Oz'.

Favorite line. A couple of old ice fisherman are at their hole, when Candace gets frozen into a block of ice and slides up to them. One sez, "Throw it back, it's too scrawny". Candace gets so steamed the ice block melts.

The explanation about why the villain, Dr. Doofensmirtz, is so evil cracked me up. When he was young the family made him stay outside in the garden to act as their garden gnome.

When our boy was small he liked Pokemon. I wasn't real keen on it, but sometimes they would come up with a reference that adults would catch. One time they went to a town looking for an artist named 'Jack Pollockson'.

The 'Spongebob Squarepants' episode where Ernest Borgnine and Tim Conway were "Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy" had me rolling. ESPECIALLY the one where they were in the old folk's home.

My favorite "King of the Hill" episode was when they thought they killed the Whooping Crane and hid it in the cooler.

I'm sure I can think up more but it's time for breakfast.
 
Rocky and Bullwinkle riding on a train. Rocky is half asleep. Boris is trying to sabotage the third rail and gets electrocuted in typical cartoon fashion.

Bullwinkle: Hey Rocky, a feller just went by that was all lit up.

Rocky (sleepily): We must be near the club car.

For some reason in that episode they passed through McKeesport Pa. where I was born.
 
I knew a lawyer who had been a RCMP officer. He played up his Canadian-ness, to the point of bowing and walking backwards for a few steps when exiting the courtroom. Every time he showed up in court my first thought was, "Oh boy. Here comes Dudley Do-Right."
 
I watch 'em all as a kid. Rocky and Bullwinkle, Looney Tunes, Merry Melodies,etc and so on. I was up bright and early on Saturday morning and parked in front of the TV. :D
Sadly, the liberal/woke community has decided that these great old cartoons are too violent and offensive. They'll never be on TV again. :mad:
 
I guess I'm a woke liberal and I love those 'toons. Were you appalled when bugs would cross dress?

:)
 
I loved Rocky and Bullwinkle. Two Americans kids from Frostbite Falls MN.

We had a Bosnian gal working a the coffee shop at work. One day I asked her to say moose and squirrel. She didn't understand my "strange" satisfaction and smile when she did. I explained it was an old cartoon. She just smiled and kind of shook her head. :p

A few items from my desk collection. :D

...we have other ways to see them uncensored. I remember watching when Bugs does the squaredance for the Hillbillies the took out everything that was 'violent' or showed a gun. It made absolutely NO SENSE AT ALL.
 
Next time I run into...

..and East European girl I'm going to ask her that.:)
 
I loved it when Bullwinkle went to Wossamotta U to quarterback the football team. His class load was going to be very hard until he said I don’t know how I’ll have time for football doing these classes. They then changed is classes to knitting 101 and English lit reading Dick and Jane at the seashore.

I had a court case where one of the witnesses was a Russian woman named Natasha. When it was my turn to ask her questions it took all the strength I had not to ask her to say "moose and squirrel."
 
ROFL.....

Fred Flintstone gets Wilma a 'diamond' bracelet. He finds out that not only is the bracelet stolen, it's 100% genuine. He tells Wilma to give him the bracelet because "It's too fat for your skinny wrist, Uh, it's too skinny for your fat wrist!" He takes the diamonds over to the mirror. "See, these diamonds are phony, they won't even cut glass!" (scritch scritch scritch) CRASH!

The line about the wrist size come up between me and Missus Smiff sometimes.

I love the 'surreal'. The Bugs Bunny "Duck Amuck" where Bugs drives Daffy daffy by redrawing everything just kills me. "Ain't I a stinker?"
