The three quotes that stand out to me the most in this short: "What for you bury me in the cold, cold ground?", "Flattery will get you nowhere." and "I now pronounce you Devil and Devilish." The deadpan nasally delivery on the first two lines by Mel Blanc is comedic gold. And something about that last line is supremely amusing given the boorish nature of these two Tasmanian Devils.
He went to school in Tasmania, which is part of Australia, of course! The world(except for America) knows how superior Australia's education standard is, compared to the abysmal standard of America's education system!
@@chrisrj9871 I could have sworn they made at least 1 more . . . where she whaps him over the head because she think's he's cheating, and Bugs Bunny says "Oo, she's a NICE lady . . . ".
He is the tortoise, not turtle and you're confusing with tortoise with cecil turtle. The tortoise is the good one and Cecil is the bad guy, plus there is a new "Looney Tunes Cartoons" Cartoon series where the tortoise returns and its on Max.
Yeah, that Cecil Turtle was a big-time cheater! Think about it: getting the police to arrest Bugs for RUNNING too fast, using his fellow turtles to take his place in the race, and especially that rocket-powered shell of his!
@AndrewCamp-h4j no no, you're thinking of the tortoise, cecil turtle who become a little characters on The Looney Tunes Show and in the new Looney Tunes on Cartoon Network and boomerang. The tortoise is a nice guy who isn't evil.
Sadly, Taz wouldn’t return until 3 years later in Bedeviled Rabbit because the Warner Brothers animation producer/head at the time Edward Selzer (a notorious wet blanket) insisted on shelving Taz because he thought he was was too violent. Thankfully, Jack Warner, the president of the Warner Bros. Studio, noticed Taz’s disappearance and insisted that Taz be brought back as he was actually quite popular with audiences.
Ducking the Devil. That one’s great. Daffy even goes inside the cage at the zoo and beats the crap out of Taz because one of the reward money bills fell near Taz’s cage and Taz took it. It was awesome.
Nope. The Doctor episode is called Dr Devil and Mr Hare. That’s the last classic theatrical appearance of Taz. Bedeviled Rabbit is the one where Bugs puts a bear trap inside his mouth to dress in drag as a lady Tasmanian Devil. Mrs. Taz is not pleased.
It just shows that Sid Marcus can write good shorts like this one in additional to his time as director at Columbia (via Screen Gems animation studio) Lantz and DePatie Freleng. Both he and Art Davis who at this point was at Friz's unit as a animator would work together on and off for years at the studios thst both worked together. Sid was good with Robert McKimson as well who also was at DePatie Freleng eventually as well. Solid short and impressive debut for Taz.
4:56 “What a maroon. Ha, ha. What a- Hey, scram. Go on, beat it. The Tasmanian Devil’s liable to get ya! He’s a mean, vicious, nasty, no good baggy eyed Marblehead ignor Amorous! He’s a stupid- Yeh?!”
This episode holds a particularly special place for me because I grew up playing Quake 3 with a mod that added a Tasmanian Devil player model, and the model maker took the audio for his voice lines from this short, among others. "What for you bury me in the cold cold ground?" was a death line that I heard many, many times as a kid.
2:45-2:49 "What for you bury me in the cold, cold ground?" 5:12-5:18 "Flattery will get you nowhere. And you can't fool me again." These lines are just one reason why I love this _Looney Tunes_ short featuring Bugs Bunny and the Tasmanian Devil.
I remembered this as a child when the first few runs were named Looney Tunes and then somewhere they flipped the name to Looney Toons (as in short for "Cartoon's ") then they flipped it back and there was this whole Mandela effect conspiracy theory started
Robert McKimson has usually been the unsung hero of Looney Tunes, and a creative genius in his own right with Foghorn Leghorn, Speedy Gonzales, & of course The Tasmanian Devil, aka TAZ
He was a great animator for the Bob Clampett cartoons and had a great string of shorts as a director from 1946 to 1954 before they downsized his animation unit. Bob is just as integral to Looney Tunes as Jones, Avery and Friz
@@TheEman590 Except Bob Clampett was very difficult to work with, and even tried to take credit for being the sole creator of Bugs Bunny. This was one of the reasons why he was fired back then, because none of them could stand working with Bob Clampett. Btw, don’t confuse Robert McKimson with his Animator brother Charles McKimson, who also hated working with Bob Clampett.
@@TheEman590he also lost Warren Foster from about 1950 onwards (Foster went to Freleng's unit) and got the unit drunk Tedd Pierce whose work was very inconsistent.

The Devil may hare was actually written by Sid Marcus who he had success with in 1954 and 1955 with no parking hare and with the hole idea shorts. If it wasn't for Freleng snatching Foster who knows what legacy we would be looking at for Mckinson but he always had to be satisfied with the last of the quality because he was the final main director Warners hired.
@Bundy5 So I've heard. Every time Eddie Seltzer, the producer after Leon Slechenger, complained or said something wasn't funny, the Looney Tunes directors said, "Well, he hasn't been right so far." None of them knew what a Tasmanian Devil was either and, just like Bugs and Daffy in the shorts, looked it up in a book. Little did they know how popular Taz would become
@@l-wolverine2211 McKimson was not fired because of Bob Clampett. It's not even clear why they fired him. Clampett wasn't even at WB in 1953. While I've heard stories of Bob Clampett behaving looney (pun intended) occassionally, only Chuck Jones was confirmed to hate him. Bob McKimson never did.
Well given the holiday is on Thursday they should had put either Thanksgiving themed shorts on here. Not that I don't like Taz but it would have made more sense if they had a Thanksgiving themed short on here this week that's all.
5:02 “The Tasmanian devil is liable to get you. He stupid no good marble headed ignoramus. He a stupid... yesh!” “Flattery will get you nowhere!” - Taz & Bugs 5:43 “Oh brother what I got up my sleeve should happen to anyone.” - Bugs
Technically his only Looney Tunes short his other 4 were in the Merrie Melodies shorts. Sure besides the theme there's hardly any difference at this point but still in case anyone was wondering of his 5 shorts was he exclusive to either series or appeared in both series of shorts. Now you know.
One wonders why Bugs didn't just let the bubble gum balloon carry Taz all the way back to Tasmania and be done with it; although there wouldn't have been the remainder of the cartoon, I guess. . .
Why for you bury me in the cold, cold ground? Still funny after all these years! 😂😂😂😂
You mean "What"
2:45
And he proves himself that he isn't a mute character.

I love how Taz just writes in “and rabbits” in Bugs’ encyclopedia. He’s got pretty nice handwriting.
He went to school in Tasmania, which is part of Australia, of course! The world(except for America) knows how superior Australia's education standard is, compared to the abysmal standard of America's education system!

It's been quite a long while since I heard Taz talk in a complete sentence.
“Flattery will get you nowhere!!!! And you can’t fool me again!!!!”
"Yeah yeah, that's right, Doc! This little bitsy animal's made out of straw!"
But you're not.
I love Tazzy!!!
The debut of Taz!
All the world loves a lover. But in this case we'll make an exception. How right he is.
I read on TvTropes that he only had like 5 appearances in the Classic pre-1969 era. 😮
I love the one with Daffy Wanting Bounty even more e
And 37 years later, Taz would finally have his own show:
TAZ-MANIA!!!
What for you bury me in the cold cold ground?😂 Still the funny line every
1:10 He should’ve used this method to beat Cecil Turtle in a race 😂
Cecil is a little too smart for that. 😆

One of a handful of shorts of the 1950s that didn't have Bugs' signature "What's Up Doc" tune.
To be fair I don't think that Milt Franklyn ever use the cue just Carl Stalling Franklyn did the music here.
that one line
" oh brother, what I got up my sleeve......."
Hilariously FUN and never gets old.. HEE!
2:45 Such an iconic line.
I wasn't expecting Taz to speak in full sentences
@@sonicfanboy3375
It means he’s REALLY paying attention and using his brains. 😅
The first version of the Tasmanian Devil or Taz, he was much more intelligent, only later his intelligence was reduced.
True. In his third short, “Ducking the Devil”, Taz was simply making unintelligible noises while confronting Daffy.

This was the very first Looney Tunes cartoon (or any cartoon short for that matter) that I ever watched as a kid! (It's still funny!)
What for you bury me in the cold, COLD ground? Raaagh!
I still love seeing classics like this. Especially the ones with Taz in them ❤
You guys are spoiling me ( and almost countless others I'm sure) and thank you.
It still amazes me how well known Taz is as a character despite only being in a handful of classic Looney Tunes shorts.
I think it's because of how memorable he was. On the other hand, Sniffles the Mouse had 14 shorts and most people have no idea he existed.
In the other shorts or tv shows of Looney Tunes for example (The Bugs Bunny Show), Taz usually prefers wild ducks
TASMANIAN DEVIL
A strong murderous beast, jaws as powerful as a steel trap - has ravenous appetite - eats tigers, lions, elephants, buffaloes, donkeys, giraffes, octopuses, rhinoceroses, moose, ducks,
“Rabbits.”
@@glowworm2 Rabbits? It doesn't say, "rabbits" here.

Here because he inspired Crash Bandicoot and his cartoony antics.

Taz's first appearance, very good.
Debut of the tazmanian Devil, WB gave Taz his own series in the 90's "Tazmania" that Made the character an Icon in the Looney Tunes World.
I’m 66 and this brings back memories of Sat mornings on CBS watching the Bugs Bunny Road Runner Hour.. indeed glued to the tube having breakfast 😂

This is actually my first glimpse of Bugs Bunny meeting Taz.
Ah, my very first looney tunes cartoon!
70 years and still spinning.

70 years of Taz the Tasmanian Devil!
Taz accepts insults as flattery... but that won't save ya. XD
Anyone else watching these classic looney tunes and thinking "man the classic ones are so much better than the new ones"
Not only the first Taz appearence, but one of the few where he actually does a little more talking than usual.
Pretty much the only positive memories of my childhood, encapsulated here
Honestly one of the best bits
