I'm 68 and still watch the cartoons from when I was a kid. Rocky and Bullwinkle were one of the best and later the same animators gave us Tennessee Tuxedo and Underdog along with the others featured in their shows.
@@QuantumRift I'm older than you and I still love Rocky & Bullwinkle. BTW, my sons and I were watching an R&B video (on VHS, which tells you this didn't happen yesterday), when Son #1 said to Son #2: "Doesn't it seem to you that the older we get, the funnier these cartoons get?"
I heard about this episode being banned recently as well. Unbelievable that even back then an organization couldn't take a joke for Pete's sake. Stokey was hypnotized.
“Kwee-beck”? Forty years ago, I was living in Washington, DC, and I heard an American pronounce it that way. I had no idea what he was trying to say. And I was from Canada.
I can't help it! This is like a time machine when I was 8 or 9 yrs. Old and craved Rocky an Bulliwinkle in the late '60s especially during lunch time and didn't want to return to school.
One thing I’d like to mention about the Bullwinkle cartoons is the sound effects are right on I don’t know how I mean the actual animation is kind of primitive and cool of course the voices are from radio days but professional voices are very cool but the sound effects are right on I don’t know how they did this so exact back in that day but it’s very impressive
"the voices are from radio days but professional voices are very cool but the sound effects are right on I don’t know how they did this so exact back in that day but it’s very impressive" Looks like you answered your own question, my friend. The techs who worked out the sound effects learned their craft on radio, which--lacking a visual component--depended heavily on sound effects to help advance the plot and set the scene.
Oh that was just too funny Dudley Do Right played my Abrham Wilkes Booth and remember blame it on the cow how classic. Yes I think the ban was a silly one see people then in the 60's got hyper sensitive too
ALRIGHT! STOKEY THE BEAR IS BACK. My kids never believed me about this cartoon. Born 1960 the toys could injure or kill you. No surge protectors. Muscle cars with over 400HP with terrible staring and suspension on bias ply tires. Our parents let us play with guns knives and fireworks. You know what happened to the stupid children? They didn't make it.
Not only hilarious as a kid I’m certain to have found it hilarious. Because I have a sense of humor. And know the difference between a parody and a public service message. But then I found Monty Python funny as a seven year old.
I wonder why the sound quality is better in this 1971 video. A rare act of kindness from Mr. Know-It-All in that episode eh? Was that to make sure no one was going to outshine him when it comes to diving too?
Given that the fire station was, inevitably (as is sometimes the case throughout the series) in Quebec, the sign over the fire station should have included the French such therefor, i.e., "caserne de pompiers," in deference to French being the lingua franca of La Belle Province. And best rejoindered with some choice CBC bumper, followed by an equally choice signoff announcement from some station of the Canadian Broadcorping Castration, including a full listing of the repeater network for that particular station.
@@fritobuggers834 True. But then again, there was that urban legend claiming that the Canadian Broadcorping Castration banned "Rocky and Bullwinkle" over the "Dudley Do-Right" segment, such supposedly being seen as Mocking Revered Canadian Institutions.
The USFS and State Foresters closely protect Smokey’s image and message. For reasonable people the Stoker parody is harmless. In the dark world those who set wildfires can interpret it differently.
Of course children with any 'Lick' of sense can differentiate right & wrong between the two characters. I guess there is always the 'Doubting Thomas' syndrome.
That was beautiful I don't remember that episode at all that was some of the best satire of the whole series but seriously folks do we really believe that mrs. O'Leary's cow caused the Chicago Fire or was it Stokoe the bear my BET's on Stokke
The censorship of this episode by the U.S. Gov. is odd. According to the "Frostbite Falls Field Guide" by Keith Scott, After the episode aired in 1961, it was pulled by the U.S. Government, who accused Jay Ward of mocking the Forest Service. The cartoon was never allowed to be rerun on network TV. How the gov got away with it, I don't know. It was set in Canada, the bear's name was Stokey, and Stokey was hypnotized by Snidely Whiplash into setting fires. It's not as if the writers of the cartoon didn't poke fun at a lot of government and business institutions: Congress, the military,corporate boards, etc. In my opinion this cartoon series was very innovative and hilarious.
According to Keith Scott's "The Moose That Roared", the definitive history of Jay Ward Productions, not only was this episode pulled, but every copy of it, including the original prints, were destroyed. Obviously this isn't true. I'm glad to see this episode has survived. I thought I'd never get a chance to see it!
According to "The Art of Jay Ward", Ward and Scott agreed to not offer this episode for reruns, but they didn't destroy the original film, as the Forest Service had requested, so that's how it survived to make it onto the DVD re;lease.
One episode had a gag about the "Kirwood Derby," a strange hat that, when worn, turned the wearer into an idiot. However, because Bullwinkle already was an idiot, the hat turned him into a genius. The gag was a spoonerism on actor Durwood Kirby, who threatened to sue. This was a bad idea, because The Bullwinkle Show shamelessly accepted any publicity it could get. When Kirby called Jay Ward, threatening a lawsuit, Ward said, "Sure! We'll PAY you to sue us!" Kirby gave up.
remember we was just kids at the same time so as kids we see Smokey the Bear prevent forest fires be careful with matches and now this Stokey was doing the opposite so I can see how some kids can be confused. food for thought
Exactly. In those years when my brother was under 7 yrs old he lit a sage brush on fire which blew dangerously close to the church! I will blame it on the bear. My brother has passed so I can’t ask him.
Late last night while we were all in bed, old Mother O'Leary took a lantern to the shed, and when the cow kicked it over she winked her eye and said, "There'll be a hot time in the old town, instead."
I voted for snidely Whiplash but every one else voted Justin Trudeau either tie Justin to the train track with piano music or let Stokey have him for lunch.
I'm 74 and I grew up watching TV ! All the classic half hour shows and especially the cartoons ! I saw them all and remember just about all of them! That contributed to my having a pretty good sense of humor ! I believe that satire is the highest form of comedy. Sarcasm, on the other hand, is hurtful and demeaning and I see nothing positive about it! 😢😮 Very easy to hurt people and bad Karma will follow you !😢😮

No one has ever said about Snidley Whiplash: I'm going to see that villain is going to get what's coming to him in the end. Since he manipulated STOKEY, the bear to light a forest fire. Even set fire to the Ontario fire station. By the way, firefighters aren't that incompetent. Such as grabbing a hula hoop instead of a safety net by accident. This ought to insult Chicago Firefighters.

Can’t believe this episode was banned on TV because the US Forest Service got upset that they had a Smokey lookalike causing fires.

1:47 Yeah! Talk about controversial.
They've obviously never heard of parody.
They certainly took things too seriously.
When people make themselves unalive because someone said something to hurt their little feelings. What do you expect? Pathetic actually.

The Forest Service was full of crybabies if they pressured the Rocky and Bullwinkle producers into banning something this innocuous.
