I was born in a deprived working class town in the north of England in 1971. I held many a beer and a few people have held mine. But the funniest thing I saw regarding this matter was when a drunk man swung for me while I was stood holding a beer. The upper cut missed my chin and hit the bottom of my pint. The glass didn't move but the beer flew 18 inches into the air and then landed back in the glass with only very minor spillage. This spectacle defused the situation and the violence subsided.

This? This is nothing compared to the first Injun Joe. That guy split mountains and walked through rivers. When he finally fell, he took everything with him.
I took it for granted that his voice was used in the cult classic 'Strange Brew' film from 1983. Not sure if he voiced anything after, but he passed away in 1989.

I still remember one Disney cartoon where Pete murdered Donald Duck. No kidding! Donald was a sheriff in the opening of a Goofy and Pete cartoon.

Looney Tunes seems (weirdly) much funnier as an adult than a kid. As a kid, cartoons were basically just colorful distractions. As a dumb kid, I couldn't tell the difference between a real joke and explosive diarrhea.
A lot of kids cartoons are funnier to watch as an adult than as a kid. You're right about them being colorful distractions for kids and while being too young to detect and appreciate the subtleties and depths of the jokes.

The first time I ever saw this short was on TNT as a kid (approximately 5th grade or middle school) and it was the only time I ever got to see the "Injun Joe" scene uncut. Afterwards, every time this short was shown on Cartoon Network, this scene was cut out. Yet it always left an imprint on my mind and I knew it existed.

After 2010 both stuff for kids and adults stopped doing many different things.
Explanation: When I say "a time", I'm referring to the years THIS cartoon was made, and the people of "that time" did not recognize it for the masterpiece it was. I never said there are "no more cartoons that are masterpieces".
@@gregbors8364I hate to be "that guy", but the classic looney tunes shorts were never intended for kids. In fact, most cartoons from the golden age of american animation were not kids shows. On disc one of the "tom and jerry spotlight collection", William Hanna actually says that the classic shorts were "never kids shows" and "they would play late at night in movie theaters".

I used to GM a RPG called Boot Hill in high school. I had this NPC called Injun Joe named after this character. Injun Joe died in my game too when one of my friends did a called shot with a .50cal Buffalo rifle to the head from 2000 yards.
At least he was kind enough to wait until after In-Jun Joe died before he drank his beer. That way, it was like he was salvaging it rather than stealing it.
Actually, I am sure I have seen a WW2 wartime film in which a Battle of Britain pilot is urgently called aloft to fly against the Luftwaffe, and sticks his half drunk beer on the Mess mantlepiece, to which he never returns. That will be 1940.
Looney Tunes had morbid gallows humor and alcohol and cigarette consumption. The Betty Boop cartoons back in the 1930s had a load of sex double entendres and lingerie shots. Tom and Jerry had insane levels of violence and an angry black maid who was so stereotypical, it sort of boggles the mind while you're watching. Modern cartoons for kids are watered-down crap in comparison with just about everything censored.
Just excellant and there's nothing better than an old Warners brothers cartoon. Here hold my beer? I was around 4 years old when that cartoon came out and I'm 65 and still can remember watching it, before my Mon cleaned up after breakfast so she could teach me to read and such. FJB ✌👍🇺🇸
I would like to take this time to point out that every single character is this cartoon is voiced by the same guy. Mel Blanc was an absolute beast when it came to voice acting.
At the same time, the head of Warner Bros (Jack Warner) was notorious for being a stingy SOB. When Mel (justifiably) asked for a raise when the WB cartoons basically put the studio on the map in the '30s Jack Warner refused but cut Mel a deal... he offered Mel on-screen credit for "vocal characterization" so other studios could finally identify who this incredible voice talent was and give him additional work on top of the WB stuff. I mean, when you voice every major male character in the WB character stable (with the exception of Elmer Fudd), you should really just offer him a blank check - he's that important to your success. But Jack Warner said "nope!" Sure enough Mel's phone exploded overnight with job offers from other studios when the first WB cartoon with his credit was released. He actually made more working for other studios than he ever did for WB - which is kind of sad because Blanc practically built WB animation into a powerhouse (he was the studio's secret weapon that no one else had). Other actors who voiced characters in the WB shorts sadly did not get proper screen credit until MUCH later in their careers. Fun fact: Mel originally played Gideon (Honest John's sidekick) in Disney's Pinocchio... but was furious when Disney didn't tell him they changed their minds and made the character mute instead for the final release (all they kept in were some drunk hiccups). It's honestly a common courtesy to let an actor know their part was cut - to not do this is a HUGE no-no. Because of this Mel refused to ever work with Disney again.
I remember a few times they showed characters getting drunk or smoking in the early years of Cartoon Network, though this scene I'm pretty sure was never shown on the Cartoon Network airings.
The earliest record of "hold my beer" I know is from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which I think is written in the 17th century, in a tale dubbed as Guan Yu slays Hua Xiong.
That's because they always cut this part out when it aired on television, most likely because of the Indian caricature and the fact that Sam flat out kills him. The first time I saw this short, this scene was intact so I always missed it terribly when it was taken out.
I believe the first ever recorded “hold my beer” happened around year (0)200 in ancient China. There was a war between three kingdoms “Shu” “Wu” “Wei”. There was a general named “Guan Yu” who was being treated by a doctor while drinking some sort of warm rice wine to ease the pain. He heard the enemy general “Hua Xiong” coming to his camp and told the doctor to hold his “beer”. He went and killed Hua Xiong. By the time he returned, the wine is still at warm, indicating his speed and skillful. It’s referred as an old saying “温酒斩华雄”.
And to think they say these cartoons were harmful to watch,,, lot more innocences in these old cartoons than the crap on tv these days,,,,, including the news.
Anyone else notice how "Indian Joe's" holster switches from his left to his right when the scene changes? It's also amazing how chill he is given that he just put himself in a kill or be killed situation.
I'm surprised that the fun police hasn't deemed this to be an extreme danger to someone's feelings yet... I'm sure that it will need to be taken it down for the sake of all humanity...
I believe the final count was around 300 different voices. Dad knew Mel, and one time when he was on a business trip to the West Coast, he had Mel say "hello" to each of his 5 kids, using 5 different characters on a portable reel-to-reel.
I always think of the full-page ad, posted in _Variety_ I think, when Mel Blanc passed away. It showed so very many characters he had performed, all looking downward with sadness on their faces. In the front center, a microphone on a stand. The caption? One word: *Speechless* 😔

Yeah, no, hold my beer has always been shorthand for 'I'm about to do something stupid' The implication is you're drunk and trying to impress people. A drunk person has never in recorded history done the smart thing in that situation.
@@shotgunshells2 I'm not even kidding when I say I've never seen the meme used that way, not even once. Everytime I see it it's about skill. The beer doesn't imply being drunk but rather a casual drink. Here's an example: Gamer: "I just no scoped that guy from across the map!" Simo Häyhä: "Hold my beer." Edit: I read all the replies and I understand the original meme now.
@@waldoman7 The phrase, and a transfer of possession of beer, followed by the speaker doing something ill-advised and dying as a result... what's missing?
@@rodschmidt8952 the modern cultural references and tendency to apply it to utterly ridiculous things. The meme was built upon and also added to a pre existing expression. That expression was not a meme. The meme is about using that expression in a specific spirit and with understanding of recent references. You can't have the meme before the meme. One difference is that the modern version implies a successful bad ass more often than an idiot.

I've been on this planet since '59, but NEVER heard this particular jokey meme until these last few years. I always thought that the phrase came from some massively popular comedy film that I hadn't seen.
First time I ever saw it used was a Darwin Award email my dad received when I was in high school. A guy and his friend were sitting on his back porch, drinking, when they saw a raccoon go into a large drainage tube. They tried getting it out by pouring gas into the tube, to no effect. So the homeowner handed his drink to a friend, saying "hold my beer", before crawling in after the critter. He mentioned it being too dark to see. Then his friends heard him say "hold on a minute, I got my lighter". A few seconds later, a fireball erupted, spitting the man out and propelling him OVER the house. He survived to tell the tale.
@@Wraithspartan A guy runs into the saloon to announce Yosemite Sam was outside. A cowboy says "Here, hold my beer and I'll be right back" A gunshot heard a moment later and the guy says he gets more free beer that way.
Me too! I didn't understand why people called it racist. I was like, but that's his job title. lol Obviously I now understand. There was a lot of racism and xenophobia in cartoons from back then.
Upon exiting the saloon, Injun Joe swiftly drew his iron and gunned down his adversary, only to realize moments later, to his horror, he had viciously slain an innocent pedestrian in his drunken haze. Distraught, Joe fell to his knees and swore to never again imbibe in alcohol, for all the rest of his days. The mustached man, looking on, downed his fourth beer that day he earned from suckering a drunk patron into thinking Sam was outside, and wondered if he could get a fifth in before noon.
"I get more free beer this way"

The earliest record of "hold my beer" I know is from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which I think is written in the 17th century, in a tale dubbed as Guan Yu slays Hua Xiong.
I feel bad for Injun Joe but god damn this is hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣
The legend of Injun Joe ends in a hail of gunfire while a freeloader steals his giant beer. You will never be forgotten Injun Joe. RIP.
Many people don't know the phrase was originally "Hold em beer."
I love how they implied that he died
Cartoons used to be fucking gangster
I love the expression of the Cowboy in the brown hat at 0:03
"Can we please talk about something else for Heaven's sake?"
Hold I’m beer 😎
a historical document of memology
⭐️⭐️Looney Tunes⭐️⭐️
The all time GREATEST cartoons there's ever been.
Holy crap, I don't remember this! 🤣
That's because they always cut this part out when it aired on television, most likely because of the Indian caricature and the fact that Sam flat out kills him. The first time I saw this short, this scene was intact so I always missed it terribly when it was taken out.
I believe the first ever recorded “hold my beer” happened around year (0)200 in ancient China. There was a war between three kingdoms “Shu” “Wu” “Wei”. There was a general named “Guan Yu” who was being treated by a doctor while drinking some sort of warm rice wine to ease the pain. He heard the enemy general “Hua Xiong” coming to his camp and told the doctor to hold his “beer”. He went and killed Hua Xiong. By the time he returned, the wine is still at warm, indicating his speed and skillful. It’s referred as an old saying “温酒斩华雄”.
All characters here are voiced by one legend. Mel Blanc
Back when cartoons were good. And these predate me.
I guess being the one who holds the beer is the best choice 🍺
Amazing that the first example of hold my beer is already a subversion of the trope.
And a half decade before the meme was made to boot.
One time, I asked a lady sitting on a bench outside of Pier One to "hold my fries" while I went inside to shop - she did!
Let's all pay respects to Joe who faced his last enemy & lost...
Even Yosemite Sam as a mascot of 20th Intelligence Squadron.
I miss the great cartoons.
And to think they say these cartoons were harmful to watch,,, lot more innocences in these old cartoons than the crap on tv these days,,,,, including the news.
This is comedy gold!
Anyone else notice how "Indian Joe's" holster switches from his left to his right when the scene changes? It's also amazing how chill he is given that he just put himself in a kill or be killed situation.
The algorithm really likes this video.
Over and over for you too hey?
Yep for some reason it sure does lol!!
Pretty sure there would be a congressional hearing if we had guns and beer in kids cartoons these days
I'm surprised that the fun police hasn't deemed this to be an extreme danger to someone's feelings yet... I'm sure that it will need to be taken it down for the sake of all humanity...
Old cartoons are an existential threat to society
That drinking sound is gold.
I half expected Injun Joe to walk back in, drink his beer, and then it leak out of a bunch of holes in him
1 man did all those voices, that was back when talent was a thing
The guy casually sends people to their deaths so he can steal their beer. What a lad.
He doesn't do shit, except let their pride get the better of them.
@@AdonanS what a lad.

he's actually not that bad (I'm trying to get most messages to end with "ad")
Mad lad*
“How many characters do you want Mel Blanc to voice?”
Them: “Yes”
I believe the final count was around 300 different voices. Dad knew Mel, and one time when he was on a business trip to the West Coast, he had Mel say "hello" to each of his 5 kids, using 5 different characters on a portable reel-to-reel.
I always think of the full-page ad, posted in _Variety_ I think, when Mel Blanc passed away. It showed so very many characters he had performed, all looking downward with sadness on their faces. In the front center, a microphone on a stand. The caption? One word:
*Speechless*
😔
I never knew who he was, but his voice brings back happy memories from my childhood. 😁
@@gsp911 Like many cartoon voice artists of the time, he was originally a radio actor. He was known for a bit that he did as a train station announcer on (IIRC) the Jack Benny Show: "Train leaving for Anaheim... Azusa... and Cuc... amonga."
As the kids say these days , he was the GOAT.
"I get more free beer this way" - mercenary little sucker, ain't he??
I have heard he's good with explosives too
sound like a sweet deal to me.
That's how they win a Deadpool and free drinks.
Hey that's my name.
Tell me about it. XD
"We're going to need 3 people to voice theses characters."
Mel Blanc: Hold my beer.
Producer: "I get more free voice acting this way"
I think you mean "Hold 'um beer"
I love that his example poses "hold my beer" as pride before the fall rather than an expert at a craft.
Really puts the meme into perspective, doesn't it?
Isn't that the whole point of the meme? I don't think I've ever seen a hold my beer -meme where the end result was successful for anyone.
Yeah, no, hold my beer has always been shorthand for 'I'm about to do something stupid'
The implication is you're drunk and trying to impress people. A drunk person has never in recorded history done the smart thing in that situation.
@@shotgunshells2 I'm not even kidding when I say I've never seen the meme used that way, not even once. Everytime I see it it's about skill. The beer doesn't imply being drunk but rather a casual drink. Here's an example:
Gamer: "I just no scoped that guy from across the map!"
Simo Häyhä: "Hold my beer."
Edit: I read all the replies and I understand the original meme now.
@@shotgunshells2 watch pirates of the Caribbean
Because obviously that's historical fact
Bro walked straight to his death, but did it with no fear. Respect
Injun Joe: First recorded person to visually manifest and demonstrate the “Hold my beer” meme. A true memory that should not be forgotten
The fact that the bearded mentions how he gets more free beer this way shows that it's merely the first recorded instance, not the first.
No, it's just the hold my beer phrase, long before the meme version. And how do we know it's the first?
@@waldoman7 The phrase, and a transfer of possession of beer, followed by the speaker doing something ill-advised and dying as a result... what's missing?
@@rodschmidt8952 the modern cultural references and tendency to apply it to utterly ridiculous things. The meme was built upon and also added to a pre existing expression. That expression was not a meme. The meme is about using that expression in a specific spirit and with understanding of recent references. You can't have the meme before the meme.
One difference is that the modern version implies a successful bad ass more often than an idiot.
And one guy doing ALL the voices, the great Mel Blanc.
Man of a thousand voices
He was a very influential comic of the era.

Ugh was since he's been dead for decades 😗
@@Off-with-a-bang their Influence doesn't stop because they aren't alive anymore. The legacy of those before them still inspire future generations. A future comedian can still idolize George Carlin & Robin Williams despite them being long gone before they themselves were even born. Same goes for and up-and-coming voice actor that got into this career from seeing Mel LeBlanc's voice work 50+ years ago in the classic cartoons they grew up now. The past never stops inspiring the future.
"Hold my beer is a modern meme!"
1959: Hold my beer.
Underrated comment! 😅
Very good
Well played.
1959: We created this meme!

Love the old cartoons. They never get old.
Ya gotta laugh at
the stereotyping...
@@fredgervinm.p.3315And the slapstick. And the dark humor they were not afraid to use.
I remember when they were new! They were on the ABC network every Tuesday night, IIRC. Back in those days, they often had cartoons in prime time. In addition to The Bugs Bunny Show, there were The Flinstones, Top Cat, The Jetsons...
Gotta love how opportunistic Mustache Guy is.
I mean...would YOU say no to free beer?

He stakes out would be beer holders for opportunities at free beer in anticipation of his cousins arrival which he knew about all along.
@@majormetroid8035 I actually did once... But then I realized that I was being stupid, so I graciously accepted.
@@majormetroid8035
I would, I don’t really like beer, nor do I consume alcohol much, I do occasionally like to drink Hard Root Beer and Japanese Sake-preferably citrus flavored.
I've been on this planet since '59, but NEVER heard this particular jokey meme until these last few years. I always thought that the phrase came from some massively popular comedy film that I hadn't seen.
Young man, I have.😉👍
First time I ever saw it used was a Darwin Award email my dad received when I was in high school.
A guy and his friend were sitting on his back porch, drinking, when they saw a raccoon go into a large drainage tube. They tried getting it out by pouring gas into the tube, to no effect. So the homeowner handed his drink to a friend, saying "hold my beer", before crawling in after the critter. He mentioned it being too dark to see. Then his friends heard him say "hold on a minute, I got my lighter".
A few seconds later, a fireball erupted, spitting the man out and propelling him OVER the house. He survived to tell the tale.
Maybe the Mandela effect
@@Wraithspartan A guy runs into the saloon to announce Yosemite Sam was outside. A cowboy says "Here, hold my beer and I'll be right back" A gunshot heard a moment later and the guy says he gets more free beer that way.
Take a moment to acknowledge the fact he knew homeboy wasn’t going to be back for that beer
Well, he didn't actually drink it until the shooting was done.
Literally set the guy up for the fall, watched him die right before his eyes , then gleefully drank his beer before he stopped twitching.
@@zarynt1089 And admits to doing it multiple times before!
While you all are here living the white man's dream.
Ya don't mess with yo samity sam.. He was the hootinist, tootinist..lol..
Infinite beer glitch
As a kid I thought his name was "Engine Joe" like he was the train conductor.
For all we know, he could have been. Lol.
in South America we took it for "indian joe" as he clearly has indigenous looks 😂
Me too! I didn't understand why people called it racist. I was like, but that's his job title. lol
Obviously I now understand. There was a lot of racism and xenophobia in cartoons from back then.
A lot of rednecks pronounce it that way, might've been intentional in the cartoon.
That always did confuse me when I was young
Upon exiting the saloon, Injun Joe swiftly drew his iron and gunned down his adversary, only to realize moments later, to his horror, he had viciously slain an innocent pedestrian in his drunken haze. Distraught, Joe fell to his knees and swore to never again imbibe in alcohol, for all the rest of his days.
The mustached man, looking on, downed his fourth beer that day he earned from suckering a drunk patron into thinking Sam was outside, and wondered if he could get a fifth in before noon.
Well that got grimdark
@@theinquisitionsparrot6749 and that just makes it funnier
HAHAHA

My gmaw was Native American, so I was low key rooting for Injun Joe.
I laughed a lot harder at this than I should have.
A moment of silence for the late Injun Joe ..

Injun Joe died as he lived, as a true legend.

Yup! I get more free beer this way.
So long and thanks for the beer
All three characters in the scene are voiced by the same guy: Mel Blanc. The very first cowboy in the white hat is actually his normal speaking voice.
The man of a 1000 voices...may he rest in peace
Kinda looks like him too.
Strange But True: Mel Blanc didn't have a normal voice.
Indeed. Though I can't say Mel Blanc's "Native American Male" voice was his crowning achievement
