- It's the grand opening of Flip's Drug Store. As Flip stands on the red carpet awaiting customers, celebrities begin to show up including Laurel and Hardy, the Marx Brothers, and more. Hilarity and antics ensue inside!
As a gay guy i can confirm i ballerina style tip toe into bars, waving a handkerchief, asking for chocolate sodas, and get turned into monsters by lustful bartending frogs.
Apparently this is the first ever appearance of a gay character in animated films, and they made him a crazy monster...
And apparently Flip the Frog mixes him the weirdest thing ever. He just ordered a chocolate soda and he got some highly toxic something or the other.
Well it was the thirties
@@Hotshotter3000 he put fucking tacs in it lmao
@@xedgelord75x65 Yeah.... and ink, too. Serves the impatient flamer right!
It only happened because he drank the potion. Before that, he was just vibing, and he continued vibing after he was cured. I don't think that this is a case of homophobia, it would homophobic if he was malicious from the start, but he seemed like a pretty chill dude.
What a power move
He gives you a sucky drink so you turn into a monster, destroy his store and then just leave smelling great
The movies stars caricatured in this short are listed below according to their first appearance:
0:38 - Laurel and Hardy,
0:53 - Jimmy Durante and Buster Keaton who were briefly teamed in MGM features at the time,
0:59 - It's either Lionel Barrymore in character as “Rasputin” or his brother John Barrymore as "Svengali" both popular films at the time ... my guess is it's Lionel.
1:06 - The four Marx Brothers: Groucho, Chico, Harpo and Zeppo,
1:18 - Mae West,
2:30 - Joe E Brown,
2:57 ¬ Jean Malin, well known in the 1930s as a female impersonator and for being an openly gay man.
Sidney - at 2:57 someone else in this comments section had suggested this was a caricature of Tyrell Davis, and i tend to agree. Searching google I found an image entitled "a very campy Tyrell Davis", and the pointy chin and colored lips look to me more like the cartoon character here than Jean Malin. Also, elsewhere on YT there is a movie called something to the effect of "Our Betters" where Tyrell's mannerisms are pretty similar to this cartoon character's.plus thisccartoon character is dressed as a man. Did you note the monogrammed "B" on his handkerchief? I'm guessing the B is for Barrymore, an represents Barrymore as Tyrell/ Dr. Jekyll, and after the potion, Fredric March as Mr. Hyde.
My poor man just wanted a drink and got poisoned and turned into a monster instead 💀
Very homophobic
@@buttlicker48 it was the 1930s what did you expect
@@Devilspade 30’s didn’t even have much gay people so idk what they expected not being homophobic? Lol
@@buttlicker48 Not really. The irony is that Flippy's lust over a random girl caused him to create the toxic drink that turned the customer (who, despite claims, is not explicitly stated to be gay but does appear effeminate and well-dressed, so I'll refer to him as an 1800s styled dandy to be safe) into a monster. The dandy was innocent, it was Flip's wandering eyes that were his undoing.
@@lxghtkxa the 30s actually had lots of gay people, its documented, but homophobia definitely was expected from this era because duh its the 30s
Mans just wanted a chocolate soda ☹️
My man just wanted a chocolate soda.
I'd turn into a monster too if got what that simp made.
This cartoon is so addictive and fun to watch because of the music
It's actually not original music! This is the last in the Flip the Frog series and the budget was running out. They animated it to 2 commercial Victor record sides: "By Heck" and "Mama Inez."
This is the song they used: ua-cam.com/video/toAFezAHmNc/v-deo.html

As long as we are talking about "inside jokes" in this vintage cartoon, I would be remiss if I did not point out that at 1:36 "Chico" Marx says "Wiolets are blue" (pronouncing the "V" as a "W"), which is true to the affected dialect that "Chico" Marx spoke in the Marx Brothers movies. One of the most memorable scenes with "Chico's" W/V transposition was where someone mentioned a "Viaduct" and "Chico", misunderstanding, asked "Why a Duck?", and the other said very clearly "NO, I said *VIADUCT* ", and "Chico" again repeated emphatically " Yes, but WHY A DUCK?". The further discussion went along the lines of Abbot and Costello's comical "Who's on First" dialog.
Oh
So Flip makes a disgusting combination of soda, hair tonic, motor oil, tacks, pesticide, and pen ink, yet the guy just gulps the entire thing down without a sweat. Can't imagine that tastes very good. Can only blame himself though, considering he watched the entire thing happen.
Also if was a heterosexual persona in cartoon characters it could be murdered, be villianized though innocent. God forbid the absurdly dressed clown or a "homosexual should be made fun of or be nothing but positively represented, nobody's being representing a clever or good character here. But it's all about one to some. Every last character is a fool in cartoons that's the point, it's sully not some grand statement of empirical truth?
@@aryanprivilege9651 this is a clear, explicit and eloquent humiliation and demonization of gay people, the fact that you compare the "pansy" villain to the other characters that simply happen to be caricatures shows that you didn't watch this carefully AT ALL.
@@aryanprivilege9651 Man with all those big fancy words you put in there it's hard to imagine you could miss painfully obvious and blatant context clues, but whatever, kid.
Yes drawing are to be protected at all costs, cartoon animation pride! Rainbow and pritect these artifacts of pasts we cannot experience as not norm then. Judge things by their historical framework produced them, should we all destroy books, films, remake a modern lie of history or tear down statues and throw away evidence thats contradicts our world view. The idea of viewing it though todays ideas in interesting, but accept it for what it is. Villifytheproducers for their inability at foretelling the future, not being visionaries? if this is the case we are all dawned as these aren't empirical facts but fashions snd faith based beliefs.Do not think we will entertain foolishness of our modern nonsense with multiple gengers and male vaginas, females by name cannot get pregnant. We suffer fools today as did in Weimar for nothing has changed. Nobody's hating on gheyfolks that Im aware of but that doesnt leave open the door for destruction of rationalism and self evidence. We are speeding right into depths of dark age Germany tried to correct. Do folks homestly think we will not correct again, stillslaves to usury,victi,s more so of central banking volshevism and human bondage in chains ofpoverty theft of labor snc common sense. It will not last, or will not. Were going down Kali Yuga wont be kind. Parallels are hideous, weve lost ground in all real human life quality metrics.
@@aaronwimmers8904Give me an example, so nothing has improved? Fo you judge the historucalperiod by todays flawed and non scientific fashions. Perhaps qe must destroy these historical ideas, burn books, correct film and popular entertainment ofno consequence? Tear down statues, rewrite the past? Are they guilty for not predicting today's views, or is it merely a piece taken from it's day? Many things change others do not, or change to absurdity. This isnt a valid criticism of anything, should an artist writer be vilified for his common dayworld view? Take it for what it is, a historical representation of a time before us. Whats your point, someone still doing this? Oddly we overcorrect into sufferings nonsense, and repeat the past. Remember the vile human costs of poverty and sexual slavery, sexual tourism and brutality of Weimar period. Now a positive expression of queen acceptance, wager the children victim's families and destroyed didn't see that. We aren't different but accepting beliefs and fashions as faith mode of day. It's not true, nor reality that we tell ourselves lies of gender, no more than cats are dogs. Usury, poverty and deaththenwar rush in think this too won't get corrected in extreme. what metric had been bettered for you? Where is your issue, onlyfan's or frankfurt school,street prostitution or technological over smart phones and pay,e ts not bonds of reality family and future. As always it will be the poor to suffer, women and children working people. What's changed out grown war diseases economic planned collapse. Global now, wealth inequity in extremes, inflation caused, false worthless money, theft wage, debt chattel bondage. Gay straight, made up identities all will suffer,odd how the backward past solved these, NSADP all disappeared! Were they intolerant SA and leader were accepted as ghey nobody cared, until one day it was just unbearable. I don't think you see beyond a superficial abstraction you claim to think chas relevance. We must weep for poor flips insult! Cartoons lives and pride. Welcome to the falling depth of the Kali Yuga,it's getting dark. Irish you all well. Dort out reality and issues of merit. Please. Your gheys are doing fine, don't see any haters! You? Reality is seen & believed, the earth is my witness, Your esoteric ideas of what rather Believe serve the dead, not us.
The synchronization (musical sound track) is taken from two commercial Victor records. The first is "By Heck", by the Victor Novelty Orchestra (Victor 22228-B), and the second is "Mama Inez-Rhumba", by The Havana Novelty Orchestra (Victor 22597-A).
Both of these discs may be easily found, though "Mama Inez" was by far the better seller, remaining in the catalog from 1930 until at least 1952.
4:00 nothing like a little Flit (bug spray) in your chocolate soda😀.
Quick, Henry!
Proof that we've been doing daft cameos for decades and decades. Hell, it stretches back even further than this! There's a Felix the Cat short where he meets Charlie Chaplin, who has a go at him for stealing his material!
People say felix the cat did the first cameo :]
Also theres a Mickey Short where almost 20 hollywood stars makes a cameo
MY MANS JUST DRANK LITERAL TAR AND INK- .-.
I’m not surprised that the person turned into a monster. The same thing would have happened to me if I drank that.
"Twinkle Toes" for sure.
I think I got the main tune of this animation stuck in my head now. I love how well the characters sync with the music!
Love the old gay stereotypical character and all the references to vintage celebs and comedians
See Tyrell Davis in the movie clip from "Our Betters" here on YT.
00:55 It's colossal! (Jimmy Duarante) Edit: I think this is a reference to Hillbilly Bread brand. I am watching "The Mechanic" on YT and there is a loaf of bread on the table at 3:58 with "It's Colossal!" on the wrapper.
That customer became insane LOL the chick ruined he's life
So I see there are some new people here from the LGBT characters In Cartoons video.
It really show that the modern world is much more friendly and accepting nowadays
Yeah
Dude, i love this cartoon so much
Guy who turn monster while drinking is based on classic novel name the strange case of dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde made by Robert Louis Stevenson born 1850 and die in 1894.....
Bro just wanted a drink💀
I don't believe the gay guy was a caricature of anyone specific. He's just a generic swish, and another example of Iwerks twisted sense of humor or lack of it. Iwerks Flip The Frog and Willie Whopper cartoons are full of tasteless, raunchy gags, (A goat bleating "God damn", Flip trying to milk a bull, Saint Peter giving the finger to an aviator, twice!, etc), and all sorts of raw sexual innuendo ( In "Phoney Express" with Flip The Frog, a bandito and a horny old maid are trapped in a folding bed that folds up into a cabin wall. Suddenly the vertical mattress begins to jiggle and cartoon love-hearts shoot out of it). In a lot of ways, Ub Iwerks was the John Kricfalusi of the Great Depression.
Wow, conservative film regulators sure made their views about the queer community apparent.
You mean this is conservative film
This isn’t a conservative film. This is how literally everyone saw gay people in the 30s.
yeah, we become monsters when we drink tacks and bug spray.
Thumbtacks in chocolate coke? That seems legal
Epic Pineapples I know right? Who would make chocolate soda?
@@big_mike7950 ComicallyMissingThePoint
It was legal to do it to a gay person (I’m jp)
@@jordanramirez5167 what's jp ? You mean just kidding?
"Eau du Pansy"... good freaking grief!
Awesome! He's got a lot of celebrities for his shop.
The pretty boy looks like a Jekyl and Hyde character.
Laurel And Hardy.
A Rasputin guy. Maybe Rasputin himself?
4 comedian dudes.
Mae West, maybe?
Pretty lady didn't get her drink, he was so distracted, lol.
And you probably shouldn't try what he gave Dr Jekyl.
"Pretty Boy" has a monogrammed B on the handkerchief so I thought it was a Barrymore character but someone else posted a link with a clip of that guy, and it wasn't a Barrymore, see other comments on this vid. Four "Comedy dudes" were the Marx Brothers Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Gummo (or was it Zeppo?). Yes Laurel and Hardy and Mae West. Guy with big nose was Jimmy Durante.
Follow-up on the Rasputin guy. He burped into the microphone, I googled if Barrymore ever played Rasputin, and indeed Barrymore did play Rasputin in a movie with his brothers. Also, pretty boy was Tyrell Davis, but the monogrammed B on the hankie belied the fact that a Barrymore also did indeed play both Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde in a movie, so Tyrell Davis turned into Barrymore acting as Mr Hyde after drinking the concoction.😀
@@cmans79tr7 You're (sorta) right about The Marx Brothers. You named all 5 of them correctly. However, Gummo left the group when he went to fight in WW1. So the four brothers are Groucho, Harpo, Chico & Zeppo.
@@cmans79tr7 actually Gummo left the group even after their first movie "Humor Risk"
Great, again! Thnx 4 post of th cartoon : )
Isn't the "gay caharacter" a caricature of a real person
Justin- Someone on this thread mentioned that it was Tyrell Davis, and there is a clip on YT where he appears. And BTW notice his handkerchief has monogrammed "B" on it, likely for Barrymore who played Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. In the story, Dr. Jekyll drank a potion and turned into a monster. (I never watched the movie though)
There was a live action movie from 1933 called "Our Betters" where there is a grotesque gay character that seems to be a live action version of this gay cartoon character. Here is a clip from the movie when he is introduced:

Im a monster apparently
If you really want to see yourself that way and base your whole life and well being on a vintage cartoon that that's on you. You can sit there and stew at a cartoon that was (probably) made before your grandparents were born, or you can let it roll off of you like water off a duck's back, by living openly, freely and proudly.
@@robynsegg twas a joke, madam.
Who is the guy who burps at 1:00? And awesome animation of Laurel and Hardy walking, and the Marx Brothers getting out of the car (look at each of the brothers body, legs, head position, facial expression and eyes as they are bopping into the restaurant! I think this is "art"). 1:26 "Angle" not Angel Cake 15c. EDIT: the guy who burps into the microphone is indeed a Barrymore, who played Rasputin in a movie with his three brothers.
I thought it was George Bernard Shawl the first time I saw this. I didn't see Rasputin by Lionell Barrymore.
@@RingoandCarlin - I looked up images of GBS and the character kinda looks like him, but the characters in this cartoon were all movie actors, and although a writer, i don't think GBS was in any movies. The burping is odd, so my first thought was that it was Wallace Beery, but i dunno if Beery was famous in this era.
@@cmans79tr7 I once saw a cartoon version of George in a Looney Tunes cartoon about radio stars that had Ed Wynn and Bing Crosby
The character is Svengali.
@@ricardocantoral7672 - Thank you. I looked that movie up, and yes, looks exactly like Barrymore's Svengali, plus I see Svengali is available on UA-cam. I guess the burp was to show he was a "Ladies Man", ha ha. Reviews for the movie say people had pity for Svengali at the end. I do not know the story of Svengali, so I likely will be watching the movie.
Wow. I didn’t know there was an actual black and white cartoon of Flip the Frog
Wow
In fact there is only 2 known Flip The Frog cartoons in colour
Well, actually, almost every single one of them are B&W
5:40 Ha ha! Flip "leapfrogged" over the monster😆
Me gustó mucho este capítulo
*Predating regulation on the use of distinctive likenesses?*
Later, *Mickey's Gala Premiere* had similar guest appearances.
...and he came in flamin"! And "Pansy Spray Parfume!" Lol!
Hear the "Siren" in the background noise at 1:16 . May West was known as a sex siren back then.
Flip the Frog is so underrated.
I know most of these celebrities, but I need help on a few of them. Who is the Rasputin-looking guy who shows up at 0:55? Who is the actor who eats the half-melted ice cream and all the cake at 2:30? And judging by the "Jekyll and Hyde" bit, is the pretty boy who shows up at 2:55 flinging his hanky in the air John Barrymore Sr., or is it someone else?
The big mouth at 2:30 is Joe E. Brown. The Rasputin at 0:55, I don't know. The pretty boy at 2:55 is probably just a gay stereotype of that period. Subtle, Ub Iwerks wasn't!
It's Fredric March__Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1933)
Also should have replied that the Rasputin guy is John Barrymore
Who’s the guy at 0:52?
@@amaliasilva7518 Jimmy Durante and behind him Buster Keaton. I think the guy with the long beard is John Barrymore as Rasputin.
I’d turn into a monster as well if I got a disgusting drink like that
Is the flaming guy Oscar Wilde? 😂
See Tyrell Davis in the movie clip from "Our Betters" here on YT. Also look up "Doctor Jeckle and Mr. Hyde." I believe that character is a caricature of Tyrell Davis playing Dr Jeckle and Mr Hyde.
Look up Song beginning @ 2:39 "Mama Inez" .😀😁😆
The music on the soundtrack was culled from two "78" recordings; the second was Nat Shilkret's 1930 rendition of "Mama Inez" (as the "Havana Novelty Orchestra")
@@fromthesidelines - I love how the animator synched the "walking" of the celebrities with the beat of the music at the beginning, especially Laurel and Hardy and the Marx Brothers. And i originally thought the ghoulish laughter within the Mama Inez tune was dubbed in especially for the cartoon, and i was surprised when i heard the laugh on another vid on UA-cam that it was actually part of the original recording. That laugh must have been hot stuff back in those days. I would have loved to have seen those performers live. I guess it was the trumpet player stopping to laugh? Do you know the name of the tune at the beginning of the cartoon?
"By Heck", another Shilkret recording (released as the "Victor Novelty Orchestra"), recorded in November 1929.
@@fromthesidelines - Nice!!! I checked out other renditions on YT. What an upbeat tune. Thanks for providing.
You're welcome!
Ngl i like how energetic and disturbing this is
Same
And NO it’s NOT Black face! It’s a frog!!
I….Honestly cant tell if this is ment to be offensive or trying (key word..TRYING) to be progressive for back then? like- yes they have him be a sterio type but- at least hes not mean or shown to be a hateful character. No one insulted him. And the only reason why people leave the bar is because he accidentally gets transformed into this big grumbling monster. Him turning back into his flamboyant and happy self is the solution and it saves the bartendors life. So in a way- i..geuss you could interpret this as a postive attempt? Im not sure honestly! Whats your take?
Да уж, когда ты торгуешь всякой наркотой, надо следить в оба. Бедняга просто хотел газировки, а его превратили в господина Хайда

It was cute in the beginning till i saw him put tacks in his drink
What’s the name of the song at the beginning?
"By Heck!", and its a phonograph record. At this point, Iwerks, to cut costs, used store-bought 78 rpm records to create cartoon sound tracks. This cartoon- Which was the last Flip The Frog cartoon to be released by MGM, by the way- Features "By Heck!" by The Victor Novelty Orchestra, and "Mama Ines" by The Havana Novelty Orchestra, both on the RCA Victor label. The Fleischer Brothers would also use phonograph records in their Talkartoon and Betty Boop cartoons, "Wise Flies" and "Betty Boop, M.D." being two good examples.

Is it just me or the gay character looks really similar to Alfred Douglas, former lover of Oscar Wilde? He even has a “B” in his handkerchief, and it's no secret that Alfred Douglas was most known as “Bosie”
See Tyrell Davis in the movie clip from "Our Betters" here on YT.
It's ironic that people are saying that the depiction of the dandy is homophobic. There's nothing there to suggest that he's gay, only foppish which has nothing to do with sexual orientation. That's some serious and incorrect stereotyping.
It's called queer coding, and there are some suggestions that this person is meant to be a gay character because back then this was how gays were depicted as. Basically these very camp, foppish pansies. In Vaudeville they were known as the Nance, and depicted as feminine men. This despite the fact that gay men come in all sorts of ways, but the belief was that if you were gay you were obviously a feminine man who only cared about his looks and was too delicate. Being foppish doesn't have anything to do with sexual orientation *today*, but back then everyone thought it just made sense. It is why some gay and lesbian joints that took things seriously would ban anything camp, especially during the 30's when LaGuardia was trying to close down burlesque shows. It was mostly to stay undercover and not attract the attention of undercover cops as well as because these places felt camp was degrading.
See Tyrell Davis in the movie clip from "Our Betters" here on YT.

And that children is why you should not kill someone because they were asking a person that works with certain kind of service to preform their service(and that gives them money, ya know so they have food and a house).
