    It's so sad that Clampett left so soon, no other animator i know ever got to recapture his same wild zany energetic essence, not even John Kricfalusi. What's even more sad is that after he left Looney Tunes cartoons became increasingly less looney, and he didn't went on to making a career in other studio like Tex Avery did, truly a lot of wasted unique talent that will never be back

      I've always wondered how a Clampett Road Runner cartoon would have been. However Jones had a grudge with Clampett so I don't know if he'll let him.

    The "sawing logs" gag actually has a long history, originating in comic strips more than a century ago (I think The Katzenjammer Kids was the first one to use it.)

      @davidburbage3348 4 роки тому +1

      And by doing that, eliminated a reference to Billie Holiday's song, "These n' That n' Those"; which, when she sings it, sounds like "dese n' dat' n' does". Did they edit it for fear it was going to turn us into pill popping junkies? Or for political correctness regarding black pronunciation? If anyone knows I'd like some info on that! To see if my guess as to the origin of the joke is correct, for starters!

      @@davidburbage3348 I'm sure the scene was censored for fear of little kids being tempted to take mommy's sleeping pills. "Take dese and doze" was just wordplay on the stereotypical "gangster" or "tough guy" pronunciation of "these and those."

    The most obscure Warner reference is that Egyptian dance bugs did on some rooftop in one of the toons. It was a callout to those animated raster style Time Square signs.

    Mel Brooks also used "Walk This Way" gag in Robin Hood: Men in Tights and that gag has been referenced in tons of comedy films and TV shows, even The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy had a varation of it. The gag was also made into a song by Aerosmith in 70's.

    That first cut mentioned was indeed awkward, but the second one(s) looks like Clampett was trying to cut bits to make the cartoon "read" faster, for deliberate effect.

    I know this is a 5 year old video in commenting on but I’m wondering at 5:41, if wb didn’t credit Clampett on his works because he left before its release how does that rule apply to chuck jones shorts like Transvaal is 6500 where it came out in 1963 but jones got fired and left in 1962. Heck he was even working on his Tom and Jerry shorts for mgm when shorts like 6500 came out.

    • @TheLooneyTunesCritic

      The rules are different because Clampett worked for Leon Schlesinger. Chuck, by that time, worked for WB.
