I don't think anyone of my generation (which I believe was the last one to experience Looney Tunes on television [network TV and cable]) appreciated it. But, at least we have DVDs, Blu-Rays, and people trying to find and remaster them. And MeTV, of course, if you can ignore the occasional censorship for outdated racial content. When I was a kid, Looney Tunes cartoons were censored for violence, racial content (including the references to World War II), dangerous imitable behavior, smoking, drinking, pill-popping, and the occasional "we need to cram more commercials down kids' throats, so let's cut some funny gags out" syndicated cuts. And some of the cuts weren't done by Standards and Practices; some were reissue cuts done for whatever reason the studios were thinking at the time.
What's wild is that most of, if not all, the characters were voiced by Mel Blanc. Man had phenomenal range, with Sylvester being the closest to his natural voice.
Most in this case there were exceptions even in these clips. Like Bugs pretending to be Groucho Marx, that was Daws Butler. Plus Elmer and Bosko for example, wasn't voiced by Mel. Though Mel rarely voiced Elmer in the Golden Age of Animation, but he didn't fully took over the voice of Elmer til after the studio was closed for good (far as the Golden Age goes).
@@ANDROLOMA Yep, Bosko was basically the first Looney Tunes character, basically their answer to Mickey Mouse (All of the rival animation studios were trying to create their own "Mickey Mouse" characters back then) and he starred in numerous shorts. When I was a kid, Nickelodeon actually would air his shorts among the Looney Tunes so he was a rather early memory.
@@glowworm2 yeah, i think he was actually _the_ first Looney Tunes/ Merry Melodies character, the first short being in 1929, featuring a live action video of the animator drawing Bosko for the very first time on a big sheet of paper, and an animated Bosko coming to life and singing, playing the piano, and doing some light shenanigans, before the animator gets tired and pulls him back into an ink pen.

I'm genuinely shocked they had such a blatant suicide joke.
@@guyallen8844 the 1940s were a different time
Ahh croaking
One of the great things about Looney Tunes is that most of the jokes don't require any context to be amusing.
Hardest decision of looney tunes is deciding wether or not it’s funny with context or without
Sadly the suicide part was too good to exist 😂
no need for editing or censoring either
The Michigan J Frog joke definitely requires context. The whole joke of that short relies on knowing the plot.
Probably because most of these don't make any sense in context either.
the disintegrating pistol joke has to be my favorite. it did exactly what it said it'd do
Well whadaya know, it, disintegrated.
I forgot how wacky the logic was so it caught me off guard.😂
