Omg. As soon as I saw this video come up in my search results for what a cartoon, I instantly recognized the cat and was flooded with memories of how the cartoon went exactly. I really loved this little short and it mesmerized me as a kid. It's been forever since I've last saw it. ♡
This was one of my favorite "What a Cartoon" shorts as a kid! This was also one that was actually produced by an outside studio instead of at Hanna-Barbera (in this case, this short was made in Italy!)
Rewatching this as an adult allows me to see the analogy that they were going for when criticizing certain health systems. It now makes sense that the doctor has a Hitler stache and gets mad when he sees the hammer and sickle.
Robyn Goodfellowe: "I bet with all me life as an apprentice hunter AND a Wolfwalker that the doc's assistants are like the Three Stooges of the medical world. Honestly, if THEY were there to cure me of whatever ill I had, I'd be sprintin' outta the hospital as fast as me legs could carry me!"
Damn this brings back memories... totally forgot about jof and this was from cartoon networks best era. What a cartoon, original adult swim w space ghost coast 2 coast from the mid 90s around 1995, I am weasel, cow and chicken... all those shows originated on what a cartoon like Dexters lab too I think... the little red devil w the big butt from I am Weasel was funny too. I used to stay up late on Friday nights watching what a cartoon and the original boomerang too during elementary school in the 90s.
Man, I love this cartoon. I really have a thing for shorts without much dialogue. The plot is so dependent on the visuals that the animation is usually of such high quality.
5:59 Hammer and sickle and 6:55 Play Cat 😂 I liked when doc called his goons (assistants) haha. Thanks for the upload. Never thought I’d see these again. A DVD release of this show would be cool.
Thank you very much for sharing the better resolution version of this cartoon (not HD, but still much much better). Remember this very well. Oh man, it was the time when cartoon network just launched in India. I think I was hooked onto Power zone (it was 3 to 5 in the evening). Then Scooby doo, the Mask, The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest. So many memories. I could go on:). Thanks for the share. I have always loved the minimalistic atmosphere of this cartoon.
Honestly, this short and the Mr. Otto shorts were the reason why I looked into and loved the animations of Bruno Bozzetto in the first place. And the guy who composed the music (Roberto Frattini who also voiced Jof) as well, considering they both worked together.
This music 2:45 more like Five Nights at Freddy's It looks like this music from Yeralash from the late nineties 1997 1998 1999 and The beginning of the 2000s 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004
Jof couldve been a good series. Wonder why this didnt go further. Courage gave us a dog protagonist. Those three tribal chanting minons wouldve made a perfect running gag or ultimate big bad antagonists.
animation is way too good imo. networks execs probably found the thing fun but considered it'd be too expensive to produce a full series of this quality.
Jof didn't make the cut 'cause the creator is italian and he wasn't against the idea of the methods used to mass produce a series in the american fashion. Btw if you like style you should check Bozzetto's work in general
Thanks for uploading this in such good quality! I love Bozzetto's stuff but somehow never saw this one before. The pacing is pretty rough in this, but it still has pretty great energy.
This cartoon is great and all, but I feel bad for poor Jof, all that trouble because he got a boo-boo on his finger from sewing :\ This is why we buy Band-Aids, kids.
Спасибо за ролик. Ещё в 90-х была кассета VHS со сборником, но куда-т о пропала за столько лет. Теперь могу наслаждаться.))) Хорошая пародия на всю капиталистическую медицину в любой стране мира для простого человека.
What idiot goes to the hospital for such a minor injury? 🤣 I remember seeing this back during it’s original run. Amazing what they did with almost no dialog and the music.
I remember watching this a long time ago and loving it. But now I hate it lol. Being a cat lover I feel so sorry for the cat. He seems so sweet and all he wants is help.
I'm 47 years old and still love this cartoon. A masterpiece.
Well sometimes love has to hurt a bit.
lol, that wasn't a hospital but an insane asylum
The three assistant doctors making those tribal-like noises..😂
I know hahaha 😂😂
It’s 2021 and it’s still funny
@@emmavpgh And accurate! I'm in med school and it's shocking how real that tribal carelessness about patient care and doctor ass kissing there is!
It's funny. But where is the sound effect's origin?
Yea, IDK why the theme they played reminded me of 20th Century Studios.
I remember watching this as a kid, I could almost feel the Cat's pain 😩

In other words. Universal healthcare is communism.

Same here!!

Yah, Oggy looks so different now! 🤔
Some of these cartoons were so unlike anything Cartoon Network ever really did after. This is one.

My sister and I still make the tribal sounds from the show.

I've been looking for this cartoon for like 20 years
This cartoon is just brutal. I love it.
This scared the heck out of me back then.
Fun fact: this short from Italy was directed by acclaimed cartoonist Bruno Bozzetto, famous for cartoons such as “Mister Rossi” and “Mr. Hiccup.”

Y’all are gonna make me cry, the memories..😢

Holy crap, I completely forgot about this until I heard the tribal music. That always stood out to me for some reason.

Fell apart when the Doc slapped
Jofs finger
The ultimate irony? That pinprick would have self-healed by the time he got to his front door! lol
6:56 They just got crap past the radar there with "Playcat".

And @ 3:40-3:42 with the guy in the poster smoking.

Has anyone noticed that right after Jof entered the hospital, the Twin Peaks theme song played?
Yes like immediately.

That Cat looks like Oggy from Oggy and the Cockroaches
I know right? Must be where Xilam got thier inspiration from!
Indeed. And they're both from European origin. The difference is that this cartoon is from Italy, while "Oggy and the Cockroaches" is French.
This music 2:45 more like Five Nights at Freddy's It looks like this music from Yeralash from the late nineties 1997 1998 1999 and The beginning of the 2000s 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004

Watched this as a kid. Still one of my favs ❤
Aww the poor thing's heart was tired but it was too cute and adorable I would have cuddled him up plus I love cats
Some doctors they are!
I remember watching it as a kid and today at 33 yo I discover that this is a Bruno Bozzetto cartoon! Amazing!
Too bad ther are not any cartoons like this. These were awesome in the 90's :D
Lot of adult style humor here. Wonder how I was able to watch this back then as a kid? LOL
We couldn’t understand then and maybe we didn’t cared
@@omar_syrinx2112 yeah true
This just brought back childhood memories awww!

+Oecobius33 No problem! I try to post every short in the best quality possible. I like Bozzetto's work as well.
+What a Cartoon! You can find "Snoot's New Squat" on kisscartoon.me.
***** Thanks, but I look for the original "rock" airings with full openings, like this one.
I can’t believe these doctors are just torturing patients instead of helping them.
Jc Parker: joke? also who goes to the doctor for such a tiny injury?
0:29: Jof: YEOUCH!!!!!
Okay, so new rule of thumb. Hospitals in cartoons, evil as heck. Hospitals in video games, best healthcare ever!
That part where the doctor catches the cat in his arms and in a snap tries to chop off his finger traumatized me as a child, probably the piano.
2:01 sounds like Sonic The Hedgehog 2 music.
90s kids will remember the Communist X-Ray
Oooooh this explains my fear of hospitals in an early age
ORIGINAL AIRDATE: SUNDAY JANUARY 14, 1996.
Holy fucking nostalgia
This cartoon is so funny this is my favorite favorite cartoon I miss those days
The doctor wants to cut Jof’s finger with a axe.
Imagine what he would have done to someone with a groin injury.
@@rippingtons60 now that's brutal
The tribal noises 💀💀💀. This is so true
Kinda resemble Oggy from Oggy and the Cockroaches alittle. But I could just be crazy.
This cartoon is great and all, but I feel bad for poor Jof, all that trouble because he got a boo-boo on his finger from sewing :\ This is why we buy Band-Aids, kids.
I remember this upsetting me when I was a kid - I felt so sorry for the cat!
He kinda look like oggy
Man whoever came up with this really does not like hospitals.
Martin: is that tabi's cat!?!
This cat looks like he could be Oggy's dad!
This used to really creep me out as a kid. It really upset me how mean they were being to the poor kitty cat man
It looks like Freddy Fazbear’s Music Box.
This is one of those old, weird, somewhat creepy memories I'd occasionally think of but always wonder if it was just a false memory.
Anime Cartoon Network What a Cartoon Nickelodeon Jof in "HELP?
That would be Oh Yeah Cartoon in case your wondering.
Only for that little thing he didn't need to go to a hospital. He could just put a sticky plaster on it.
Poor Cat 😢all he wants is help 😢
Jof: "Help."
Those doctors were no help at all
They were they were but just for themselves.
1:18-1:24 He goes to the wrong way. He has to go the the left but he goes to the right.
Help? is aired January 14th,1996!
3:39
That's the running anyone could try to escape an angry Pokemon.
Jof The Cat say Help: 1:33 2:55 3:07 3:45 6:40 7:25
Yeesh...hasn't Jof ever heard of thimbles?!
Next time use a sewing machine
i remember this sketch.
Something about watching this clip high makes it even funnier.
Looking back now, no way this was gonna be picked up
The blue cat reminds me of a certain French cat, I can’t put my finger on it

I think Jof ironically lost eight of his nine lives at that hospital.
5:30 has lived in my head rent free all these years
Just what the doctor ordered.🧑🏻⚕️🏥💊🩺🩹⚕️
at 2:31 i love his dance
Anyone catch the twin peaks music at 1:16?
Was scrolling down looking if anyone else posted this :)
All this memory childhood short cartoon cartoon are now on Adult swim as checkered pass
Jof should've wore thimbles when sewing
Who else felt it when jof pricked his finger this was my dad's favorite cartoon that he used to watch with me I love you and miss you daddy
What idiot goes to the hospital for such a minor injury? 🤣 I remember seeing this back during it’s original run. Amazing what they did with almost no dialog and the music.
