My favorite child tom still pussy cat does can't even catch jerry 😂!
Now do a list on The Top 10 things only adults notice in lego Ninjago masters of spinjitzu
well heres a fun fact, that many latin american audiences were pissed off when Speedy Gonzalez was taken off the air by white executives because they thought it was too racist but the communities said they loved him! so just because some white thick framed glasses people say something is bad.... maybe they should talk with those people they claim to represent first before making decisions like that
That's all folks
You do know that Looney tunes was not necessarily intended for children. It was made in a time when it was for the general public, meaning both kids and adults
The fact that even Looney Tunes had it's share of adult humor,dirty humor and dark humor is one of the many things that made these cartoons so memorable!
Imagine the Looney Tunes do a episode out of all the Adult humor the have done in decades
Yes! I didn't even catch the Wile E. Coyote "Oedipus" reference until this video! Honestly, I'd never given it much thought. They were actually calling him a hard-headed motherf---er! :)
Back then it was really meant for adults not children
My grandpa was 67 years older than than me. Saturday morning he would pour me half a cup of coffee and a bowl of frosted flakes while grandma cleaned, we'd both watch Looney tunes and Tom and Jerry. The 90s were the last of the free kids as far as I'm concerned
@@SuperMamayo no it's have a adult joke but kid jokes too
You do know that Looney tunes was not necessarily intended for children. It was made in a time when it was for the general public, meaning both kids and adults
That's right, and the various types of humor are one of the many things that made it the iconic cartoons we know today.
Oh so it was like Family Guy? Animated cartoons but not really for kids?
@@henny6566no, looney tunes were made for everyone, not just kids, not just adults
The original directors said they made the shorts for themselves kids saw them that's true but adults usually were the ones who bought the tickets to see them thus they could do adult type jokes but be sure that the Hays Code was OK with it along the way.
THIS is EXACTLY why Looney Tunes is so perfect. As a child, I enjoyed the sheer humor and chaos involved. As an educated adult, I find a whole new level of humor stemming from the cultural, literary and philosophical connotations. The original shorts are a perfect work of art that appeal to individuals of all ages - stimulating their minds regardless of their level of education and understanding of the jokes involved.
I love the joke in Hercules "and that guy Oedipus? Man I thought I had issues!"
I love that the rabbits multiplication joke was also used in Zootopia.
Thinking the same thing lol
I didn't understand that one when I was a kid.
According to WB, ACME is an acronym meaning "A Company that Makes Everything".
The more you know!
You know, people always talk about Pepe and what he did back then, but no one ever talks about the one time he got a taste of his own medicine. Pepe gets dunked in blue paint and Penelope gets dunked in a bucket of water. Catching a cold and being unable to smell him, as well as the paint showing off an impressive bod build, she starts chasing him, and only because her drenched look didn't make her look as attractive to him, now he found himself as the stalkee.
Just saying, that moment should be talked about more. Can't handle it when he's the one being stalked.
Then there was the one where Pepe goes to a place to eliminate his odor, while the cat goes to a limburger factory, and she starts chasing him!
@@raymondhopwood9393 I forgot about that one! 😄
I can't help but feel like all of the videos narrated by Phoebe have an underlying theme of "cancel culture" being applied retroactively to things we enjoyed as a kid
YES! I thought I was the only one who noticed that! I can't believe you said it too! It's such a weird policy to employ, but it can't just be a coincidence at this point!
It's too bad you feel that way.
@@MarquisDeSacks check your paranoia.
@@lizardog And do YOU happen to have an insight on this matter? (Not so much the idea of cancel culture, but rather he fact that for some unknown reason they always have Phoebe narrating those particular videos)
The real gag is, they were made for adults just as much as they were for kids and that's because they didn't have this bizarre prude filter that exists today.
Riiight how many conservatives would have WB’s hide for portraying Bugs in drag every five episodes?
Back in the day, they had to deal with the hay's office code not the FCC or MMPA
They were shorts shown in theaters before the feature, at a time where there were very few films geared for younger viewers. They may be 'child-friendly' but they weren't created to be shown to specifically to children.
Looney Tunes is the best! I’ve always thought Bugs was my fav character until I found out about Pepe Le Pew and also how hilarious Wile E Coyote...Genuis is when he can talk 🤣
Imagine remake my animation rabbit become more hilarious 😂!
Genius Wile E. Coyote was my favorite! He was always chasing after Bugs Bunny who was substituting for the Road Runner who was out sick!
I like to call Pepe Le Pew, Daddy Le Pew
@@Dtown1202 why not Papi Le Pew
I adore this cartoon, it taught me a lot, particularly the "Duck Season/Rabbit Season during any sibling arguments! 😂
I grew up in the 70's watching Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies. I realized later as a teen and young adult that these cartoons had already exposed me to classical music, pop culture of the 40's-60's, Hollywood, jazz music, The Marx Bros and many other influences that shaped my world. Long Live Looney Tunes!
As far as Pepe Le Pew is concerned, people clearly misunderstood his character because it's not portrayed in rape culture. It's portrayed the way Chuck Jones characterized him. Pepé Le Pew storylines typically involve Pepé in pursuit of a female black cat, whom Pepé mistakes for a skunk ("la belle femme skunk fatale"). The cat, who was retroactively named Penelope Pussycat, often has a white stripe painted down her back, usually by accident (such as by squeezing under a fence with wet white paint). Penelope frantically races to get away from him because of his putrid odor (really because of that), his overly aggressive manner or both, while Pepé hops after her at a leisurely pace.
Thank you for actually doing your basic research
Let's continue supporting him in saving him from bad SJW junk from social media.
He needs another chance to come back.
Finally someone who is smart
And Mel Blanc's imitation of Charles Boyer's Pepe le Moko character in the classic movie "Algiers" was the icing on the cake.
Also there's the episode where the stripe washes off and he leaves her alone. Then the blue paint covering Pepe LePew and his stink makes Penelope suddenly fall in love with him as he runs away in fright.
Pepe le pew still doesn't bother me. Mostly because my generation wasn't dumb enough to emulate what we saw. And we took it all as a joke like it was meant to be
i agree completely. Being nearly 60 years old, I find it heart breaking how we have allowed political correctness spoil our world.
Ok Boomers
No you didn't see it as jokes you saw it as normal behavior.
@@kcoop9999 being a 42 old white male I'd say your having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that we were exposed to a lot of shit we normalized as a people because we cared very little about how it effected others. Your not being canceled your being called out. Why is sexual assult to the point she tries to commit suicide a joke appropriate for toddlers? You're the same people the say we can't talk about slavery and segregation to 9, we need to censor that but sextist and racist cartoons are Important to leave as it.
Agreed. Even though I'm 17 years old I'm not a brainless snowflake like the rest of my generation (Gen Z). I love old movies and tv shows they were just so much better. All of the controversial stuff is stupid and people just need to take a joke for God sakes.
Pepe LePew is my mother's all time favorite Looney Tune.
She loved him when she was a kid. She loved him when she was an adult. She loves them now as a great-grandmother.
The irony of #1 is that Speedy Gonzalez was originally cancelled for being one such stereotype, only for the studios to bring him back after they found out he was actually *popular* with the people he was a stereotype of. I don't know the specific details beyond that, but the fact that Speedy's depiction was shown as "the hero" of the story instead of the villain probably had something to do with it.
Don't forget his cousin, Slowpoke Rodriguez, the "Slowest Mouse in All Mexico", and the "Fastest Gun in All Mexico"!
“Cousin Slowpoke, this is no place for a country mouse!”
You didn't really have much of a childhood unless you grew up watching the looney toons
And The Three Stooges!
0therwise you just had poser-anime.
Looney Tunes are the best thing to watch for all ages.
I grew up watching tom and jerry. So I technically had a childhood. I did watch looney tines sometimes though
@@smashfan9549 - I guess that's the next best thing, but in the 80s and 90s, Looney Tunes was on many stations many times of day... weekday mornings before school, afternoons after school, and of course Saturday Morning (they were often mixed with Popeye, T&J and Woody Woodpecker as well). On Cable Stations, it was on Nickelodeon and eventually Cartoon Network. So there were plenty of options.
Then they kept it exclusively on Cartoon Network in 2002 once Saturday Morning meant "news", then took it off altogether for like 15 years.
Classic Looney Tunes were never really intended for children to begin with because children of today wouldn't understand most of the outdated jokes and references. They are familiar with the antics of Wile E. Coyote and the Bugs/Daffy/Elmer Hunter trilogy, though.
#9 Tiny Toons used to have 'gag credits' in their closing. The gag credit for the episode with The Name Game is "Name Inadvertently Omitted in the Name Game: Plucky" !! They acknowledged it!! Hilarious! I'd wait til the end of every episode to catch the gag credit and this one had me in stitches!!🤣🤣🤣
For example, replacing "Pl" with "F"!
it is interesting that the tune was being played on an early 1960's "ROCKOLA" jukebox.
People of all walks of life love Speedy. The only people who thought he was offensive to Mexicans are the people who say, "I'm offended for you". Saying that is the same thing as saying "you don't get that you're bring made fun of so I'm going to handle it for you"
The multiplying rabbit joke pops up in Zootopia as well
You gotta love having acme membership like wile e coyote did back in the day. That was amazon prime back in the day.

1: The Racist Stereotypes
Every Kid caught that Plucky Duck joke...with his connection to a certain 4 Letter Swear Word.
I think Pepe Le Pew's lovely dovey behavior would only be considered "creepy" if the character was portrayed as a human, but because he's an anthropomorphic skunk, I don't see anything wrong with it at all if it's meant to be funny.
Marvin the Martian wants to blow up earth. Its a cartoon and you aren't supposed to emulated it.
It's a shame that in the last decade so many people have become so over-sensitive about CARTOONS.
None of those 'classic' WB cartoons were made specifically for children. They were made to accompany movies (like trailers) in theaters. At the time TV didn't exist so most of your visual entertainment was at the local movies. One of the original creators even said so in a later interview when asked about the violence.
Anyone offended by pepe le pew don't know the point of cartoons..... cartoons are funny because they are a caricature of people and things. Of course it pushes the extremes... comedy is supposed to....
Nice timing..I just started watching Looney Tunes on HBO Max last week. I was sick and just wanted to watch something funny and easy going while I laid in bed sick. I remember growing up watching these, so it was really nice to revisit some of the best cartoons ever made. I started at 1940 with the first appearance of Bugs, and I've watched up to 1945 so far. I was only planning to watch while sick, but these brought back such great memories, that I'm still watching them lol.
The one thing that doesn't bother me at all, is all the "offensive" jokes.. these are cartoons. Even as a kid, I never took what Pepe was doing seriously. I had enough brain cells to know the difference between over the top jokes and real life. The stereotypes didn't bother me either, because I thought they were funny, and I knew they were just jokes.
I know. Political Correctness ruins everything! I am not politically correct, and proud to admit it!!
@@reedspace8267 well that sucks. But I figured a lot of it was gone while browsing the seasons and seeing less episodes on certain seasons. I'm still gonna watch what's there because I just love Looney Tunes.
I’m 26 and I love Looney Tunes along with Tom and Jerry
37 i love it too
Thank goodness for Boomerang.

Happy New Year Everyone
Pepe Le Pew isn't creepy, he's adorable. And for the record he's supposed to be a talking animal, not a human.. 😌 I found him funny when I was little and as an adult I don't take him seriously, cause he's a cartoon..🙄
A lot of those are just Jokes that go over kids heads. You could remove Loony Tunes from the factor and make a new list spanning comedy in general.
and there is a lot more then just those jokes you could easily make other lists
some of those things are things related to your own personal education there for they still go over adults heads and can possibly be known by children depending on how you learned. I would put them ore in an obscure fact list rather then a wink wink nudge nudge list
pepe le pew is some one whose actions are more inappropriate now then back then rather then focusing on how chases women and hates being chased by women, you could focus on how he plays up on a stereotype that All French people were aggressive lovers or you could point out how all the comedy comes from him smelling bad not from his actions being unwanted . Like the only reason that cat's not in to him is because he's stinky. Any time you take the smell away or paint over the stripe , she's very in to him.
and if you're going to fucus on inappropriate jokes not subtle adult jokes then there are a lot more to look at
also you used one Tiny Tunes episode and that's technically not the same thing.
and in some cases you don't even show the moment your discussing.
also people need to stop trying to protect children. If you have to edit gun violence from an Elmer Fud Cartoon so kids won't shoot each other your better off just not airing 30s and 40s content on your network.
people need to learn that the PAST was an era when every thing we are offended by was perfectly OK and very moral . It wasn't an era of mean spirited rude people it was a time when we could say and do those things because it was still acceptable behavior. If you don't like it don't watch it. don't censor it out of fear that your kids cant have a conversation with you latter.
If you hate Loony Tunes then might as well also ban your kids from Monty Python or Three Stodges or Marx Brothers or Bob Hope
farther more Cartoons were never "For kids" cartoons were, always have been and still are "for all ages"
heck they STILL slip adult humor in to cartoons. Animaniacs, Freakazoid, Powerpuff Girls, Johny Bravo its only in the last 20 or so years that we started getting so fussy over what's said in cartoons.
Even then Adult Humor is STILL in Gravity Falls, Amphibia, Owl House, Pixar, Dream Works, Illumination, the Cat in the Hat, etc
Thank You for this List and Thanks for ALL of the Videos and hard work that goes into making them.
Please have a Happy & Healthy New Year 😀
Good stuff from a better time. When people weren’t so “offended” by everything. Luckily we had parents and knew right from wrong. We didn’t need outsiders telling us what we needed to see or hear.
Amen to that!
Children cannot be exposed to anything bad or they might not become proper snowflakes.
Although there are many great cartoons out there for every generation, old Looney Tunes are the best cartoons out there. You just can't beat them.
Ahh i miss pre woke, pc looney tunes when they were good. As a Mexican American I was never offended by Speedy. In fact we love him. Hopefully they don't give him the Pepe Le pew treatment...
Right? Anything that was Mexican/Hispanic related, especially on Tv or radio, was perceived with “we made it!” vibes. At least to me it was.
@@alcochino210 Yep. Now days they think everyone is offended by everything...takes the fun out of it.
Yes, he's the Trope Namer for "Mexican love Speedy Gonzales" where a stereotype actually is loved by the people it's stereotyping
@@Wiiguy1606 I wouldn't say trope just a fact that Mexicans don't care and have a sense of humor and can take a joke unlike others now days. Thats the point of this kind of comedy is stereotyping but thats also why it's funny. Now days though people are too sensitive and have no sense of humor sadly...tbsts why comedy is dying. Fluffy, Dunham, Gervais and various other comedians have spoken about this.
Hopefully they don't remove the Taptio guy neither. The US is the only country that gets offended by everything.
Daffy was always my favorite
Director Chuck Jones saw the potential in Daffy Duck and then made some of the best Looney Tunes like "Duck Amuck" and the first Duck Dodgers.
As somebody that grew up watching these old cartoons, they definitely shaped my sense of humor and were definitely ahead of their time in a lot of cases; others (#1) not so much.
The only cartoon I have a problem with on this list is Almira. She always gave me the creeps. She strikes me as the kind of person that would abuse her pet, and as soon as no one was looking, she do something horrible to it.
Remember when people had a sense of humor? Yeah,me too,good times.
While he's hard to excuse in this day and age I always thought of Pepe LePew as a tryhard- someone who always got rejected by the one thing they really wanted. Ah well- humor, like society, changes over time. We can only hope that it continues to change for the better.
That would be the point of the original joke. Chuck Jones himself said that he was not meant to be an offensive French stereotype that all French men smell. It's that Pepe becomes enamored with what he thinks is a female skunk. That's really a cat with a paint painted down its back but he must never know that he himself smells
I was thinking that Pepe could return, but toning him down from a downright creep to that guy who tries to flirt with ladied but never resorting to stalking. Any opinions?
Like Johnny Bravo?
@@MrJmanrey Perhaps.
My opinion is no. Leave Pepe alone. I’m so fucking sick of people who can’t take a damn joke.
@@japhyryder66 Then how about like Tex Avety's Wolf. Because, from what I've heard, ge was also a stalker and the whole thing was a comefy, but his actions were still painted as bad.
@@juanrisa945 Tex Avery was a genius. His cartoons were masterpieces. You need to lighten up.
Looney tunes so good with dark undertones iconic
Pepe le Pew is a comedic take on French stereotypes. It's offensive sure, but it is still pretty damn funny. Also, it's not surprising about the racist past, it was at it peak popularity during the 40s, 50s and to a lesser extent the 1960s. If you have watched several movies from that time period, that kind of negative stereotyping was very common. The fun thing about offensive material is, if it offends you, turn it off. Very simple!!
#2 - Back when both kids and adults saw cartoons for they were: not real life, regardless of the material.
I figured out the Plucky Duck one, as a kid. Doing it in my head, I figured it out and I was like "Oh..." lol
Considering looney tunes was made for adults it makes sense only adults noticed these
What's even funnier than the cartoons is the reaction of anybody who is offended by the cartoons.
Great video!!! Whoever wrote this video’s script needs a raise!!! So well done 👍🏽
Happy New Year y'all! If I said it before I'll say it again, Bugs gets his looks from his mother cuz I HATE how good he looks in drag!! 👗 ❤
People who complain about drag shows being evil forget Bugs had been seducing men in drag since the 1940s.
that's funny because it's true
Can we just stop with the Pepe Le Pew hate, UA-cam channels keep constantly turning over this lie about pepe as if they didn't even f****** watch any of the episodes from start to finish with a pair of me too glasses on🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
You have to admit he was a little annoying.
Can't make cartoons anymore. Everyone is so sensitive
Top 10 Things Only Adults Notice in Rocko's Modern Life
It was the Wile E. Coyote latin names that got me😅😅
WatchMojo once again telling you what you should find offensive with their tinted glasses.
To be fair some of the shorts are controversial by today's standard. Especially the Censored 11. That said I do enjoy most of those shorts but there are some terrible shorts in that bunch for different reasons besides the stereotypes.
I just assumed Wile Coyote has a Good Line of credit with the ACME Corporation...that's why he's never sued them. 😁
He was just to dumb to know about lawyers. But then, there must have been some kind of Consumer's Protection Agency back then with warning labels...we just never saw them, and Wile E. would just ignore them in his quest for rotisserie road-runner.
With Bugs Bunny, everytime I see a Drag Protest, I'm like " They really hate you Bugs! "
"HardHeadipus Oedipus"....gotta use that line on someone in 2023....
Pepe is a legend - nuff said!
1:48-2:02-2:19 Best parts of the video in my opinion
One thing I would like to point out is that the boys at Termite Terrace never said they specifically made the cartoons for kids. Sure, kids ate them up, but I remember an interview where one of the former workers there said they made them for themselves.
I want the Looney Tunes cartoons from WW2 released on blu-ray. Pepe le Pew is a cool character. The cat usually ends up chasing him after he's been nailed by something that eliminates his skunk stink.
Aah I miss these cartoons.
Fun fact: Looney tunes meant to be adult content but it instead it was for kids
The editing can be wild. It wasn't that many years ago I saw a Mr Magoo cartoon that included an Asian character with the rice field hat. And while the character was drawn in the old school racial way, they simply overdubbed the racist original voice with a strange deep white man voice.
Multiplying like Rabbits almost blew my mind. But it’s makes perfect sense that rabbits in real life, multiply. 😂
I’ve also wandered so much why ACME was used in this cartoon and some of others. Kind of catchy name for almost anything.
The gestation period for a rabbit is only twenty-,eight days!
Don't know about the rest of America but when Bugs Bunny was on TV about 1 in 5 families had a bunny rabbit pen in their backyards. Small town, my senior class had 174 students. We knew all about how bunnies got here or at least I did by age 7.
Nothing dirty at all, it was exposure to the real world in real time something video games cannot duplicate!
Happy New Year! 2023! I didn't realize there was so many adult references and jokes in Looney Tunes.
One left out of the video: Foghorn Leghorn's violence towards a kid, or a tiny chicken anyway.
Mostly that dog...whacking him on the ass with a board. Most of the "violence" was against Foggy anyway...things blew up in his face, smacked, de-feathered, etc.
Mojo screws up again: the main “only adults will get,” was even shown and not referred to: The Casablanca one. Kids don’t know it’s taken from Casablanca. Like wise some looney tunes showed famous actors and no kids could ID the real actors. All that crap about sexual harassment is pointless
I believe the show was made for everyone kids and adults because it is so funny and sometimes relatable or cute. If you are talking kids shows I believe it would be peppa pig and Barney. Because sometimes I can even sit through a classic Disney movie like Bambi. Bambi had cool animation etc. I can also still enjoy Lion king more than peppa pig. Not insulting anyone that likes peppa pig I just don’t see anything necessarily funny or relatable about it for any older audience I believe Peppa pig was geared to younger audience. Not Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, Lion King, All Dogs Go To Heaven and Aristocats. I still enjoy these till this day. I think a lot of older movies were better than todays. I also like that their were characters that prayed to God more in older cartoons or movies or references that there is an afterlife.
Pepe Le Pew is a controversial skunk on how he behaves towards other characters, and influence audiences especially young children.
Happy New Year 🎉🥳
I Love Looney Tunes
Please do "Top 10 Biggest nepo-babies" next.
It's going to be a hit 😎
MsMojo has one, I believe.
I know I shouldn't take this video lightly but Sam's *butt* quote sense of humor made me laugh :)
How about the fact that Pepe Le Pew often referenced making love? I have no idea how I missed that as a child.
One thing that always annoyed me is that placing _le_ in front of an English word does not make the word French. In addition, _le_ is pronounced “luh”, not “lay”; _les_ is pronounced “lay”.
Since the advent of EPT, the meaning of “Kill the Rabbit!” may not be so obvious…even to us now grown up!
Even with many Mexicans telling you that Speedy was the hero and they were not offended at him always winning, you still try to portray him as an "offensive stereotype" and you're wrong. Stop being offended on behalf of someone else - or for an entire country.
Looney Tunes sure feels different watching it as a grown up with all the silly reality tv shows crap it feels like they teach us about life.
Free beer for singing 🐸
I saw rabbit seasoning on boomerang
Pepe pew taught me as a kid not to smell bad & girl don’t like weirdo who try to touch them …so I did the opposite…but I thought we all got that as a kid….guess it’s more weirdo out there nowadays
you may not know that these cartoons ran in the movie houses between the feature films as movie shorts, and were written for adults, not kids. also, these were made before television was a household word, due to the fact that no one had a television set until well after "WW2". also these cartoons did not get re run on television until network systems were established, like when "TELSTAR" was put into orbit in the early 1960's, and microwave relay stations were built!!!!!. before network television, it was all local programming. to answer your question, yes we did watch the cartoons on saturday morning, and would get up extra early and watch the TEST PATTERN", just to make sure that we did not miss any of it. the adult aspect of the cartoons went over our heads when we were in single digits, but our parents sure got a big kick out of it.
The very old bugs bunny cartoons, were funny then,because the cartoonists wouldn't make them unless it didn't make them laugh as well.
Bugs Bunny is a smart rabbit
For god sake! You guys need to get over Pepe Le Pew! He’s a freaking Looney Toons character not some serial rapist hiding in an alley waiting for victims to walk by! Grow up!
My boss told me Pepe Le Pue, the skunk, was a dig at French hygiene. No one else mentioned this to me, but WB, if true, probably wishes all this would go away.
My biggest shock as an adult was the episode where 2 mice ate sooo much cheese they can't bare to have more & a life without cheese is a life not worth living so they decide to comit suicide. Then the cat & dog all try to kill themselves
That's right because the cat couldn't believe the idea that two might actually wanted to be eaten and when the two mites wouldn't leave the cat alone, he wanted to commit to it that by having the dog eat him, the dog finds the misunderstanding. But instead of figuring out what went wrong, he planned that crazy. That the two mice want the cat to eat them. But the cat won't eat the mice and the mites won't eat the cheese and as he screamed it just don't add up
I guess this list is more built for people who don't regularly watch re-runs of Looney Tunes. Though, the name origin of Acme and the inspiration of Bugs Bunny were new to me.
The original shorts were never aimed at children, they were always intended for adults.
Also, Tiny Toons isn't Looney Tunes, stop it.
Pepe Le pew is just funny but he is like this
I guess the whiny “social justice” types miss the fact that all the characters in a cartoon are caricatures or stereotypes.
Plucky Duck's name would not be offensive. What's offensive about Flucky?
Slow Poke Rodriguez belongs on this list for the reason that he is actually slow - that he's always stoned.
Personally speaking, I associate the word Nimrod with Marvel Comics as Nimrod is one of the main mutant hunting sentinel robots (and is the most successful sentinel at what it was designed to do)
Perfect video to remind ourselves that this is the year of Rabbit
