I loved this as a kid. Especially Cecil the Seasick Sea Monster. There's so much adult humor in this, they really made an effort to make this fun for kids and adults. Just like the Flintstones and a few others like Bugs. I use to run around the house making that laugh that Dishonest John made. I was four when most of the cartoons were new. Thank you so much for uploading this. I came across this by accident.
Beany and Cecil was one of the cartoons that most of the jokes were ones you never got when you were a kid because you didn't get the puns or celebrity references. My dad showed this to me and my sister when we were little but nothing made sense until I saw it again when I was 25.
Bob Clampett even shows Squealy Smith wiping her nose as she sings...just like Keely used to do. This is borderline genius stuff. Nothing else like it, then or now.
only Clampett would attempt something like this.....only Clampett could get away with it.....B&C was a criminally underappreciated cartoon......and So What was a babe.......
You could trust Dishonest John as far as you could see around a corner at twilight. He got his just rewards. D.J needed to be scared away by a great horned owl.
I was three years old when these last aired in 1967, so unlike Underdog and the Hanna Barbera/Jay Ward, Filmation, and Rankin Bass Cartoon stables, I have no childhood memories of Beany & Cecil. I did hear about it and get the DVDs back in 2013 and now I'm hooked. This is some really knee-slapping stuff. The Cadillac of Television Cartoons. To me, the true test of a good cartoon is if it entertains people who have no nostalgic connection to them. This passes with flying colors.
Bob Clampett had to come up with more than 70 cartoon stories over a weekend to sell this series to Mattel and ABC. Fortunately, he was also able to hire some veteran cartoon writers like Disney's Jack Kinney and Jay Ward's Lloyd Turner to create all those wonderful puns.
Subliminally adult , sublime , sophisticated , surreal , superlative , slurp , I loved it then , and still love it now. I had the Beany Doll, and Cecil puppet. Toys that ultimately vanish, like so many do. I wish I had salvaged them for posterity......I could just KICK my posterior for not doing so.
@@secretsquirrel7300 He's a moose. His best friend's a flying squirrel named Rocky. Bullwinkle is incredibly stupid, but he's a punster, he breaks the fourth wall, and he read poetry.
This was Bob Clampett's second Snow White satire. When he was at WB cartoons he made the notorious Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs which is now banned from TV and DVDS
Love the celebrity parodies in this! The Lost Wages nightclubs are advertising parodies of Frank Sinatra, Bob Newhart, Lili St. Cyr., and Milton Berle. Then we have the Whatnots that are caricatures of Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley, Harpo Marx, Desi Arnaz, Fred MacMurry, Toulouse Lautrec, and Liberace! And there's also So What's Keely Smith impression. While it's not as crazy (or contriversial) as Clampett's earlier "Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs," it's still a great twist on the fairy tale.
I was born in 1964, so I never saw these when I was a kid. However, I'm all about B&C since I got the DVD recently. This is some REALLY funny stuff! I do remember seeing bits of this classic episode on Adam West's classic "Cartoons Lost and Found" special on Nick at Nite back in 1989 and that led to my curiosity of this show.
Thanks for your comment about Keeley. She and her hubby were scat-singing superstars. One of the dwarf icons from the cartoon Satchmo did his share as well. Don't recall the origins of the line "My Headache is Gone", but the gang working on the Beany and Cecil cartoons got a lot of mileage out of it!
"It's gone! My headache's gone!" was from a Bayer aspirin commercial around 1960. How that sold aspirin is still a mystery today. The original Beany and Cecil was one of Albert Einstein's favourites, so we're in good company.
@@jln55 Thanks Barney! I'm, old enough to remember that commercial, but not too old to have forgotten it. Those were the days of giants in washing machines.
It was FCC Chairman Newton W. Minow who addressed that question during his famous May 1961 "vast wasteland" speech before the National Association of Broadcasters.
Bob Newhart aka Bob New Heartburn passed away today, which i believe is the last celebrity they referenced that was still alive today, rest in peace Bob
I thought so! There's an Anacin commercial from the 1950's at NostalgiaTelevision here on UA-cam that mentions part of that catchphrase. If you can post or link to where "It's gone! My headache's gone!" is said word for word, that would be a real treat. :)
There were two other Sesame Street Game Show hosts like Sonny Friendly ("Are we having a nice day or what?) and Pat Playjacks (Squeal of Fortune). Game Show host Richard Dawson also appeared on Sesame Street doing "Family Food" (A parody of his game show, Family Feud).
Back when Cecil was a puppet, each week there was a scene where the finale was when Cecil was triggered and slurped somebody. A slurp was a long wet lick. The kids really took to the slurp and began to imitate Cecil. The teachers at school were not amused. Public pressure forced Bob Clampett to drop the slurp surprises.
Thanks for identifying the stripper Lili St. Cyr. Only thing St. Cyr was popular as a stripper most likely in the 1940's and definitely in the 1950's, a little later than you identified. And the previous question we believe refers to "Dragon Train" which is not presently on DVD. Sorry about that.
"It's gone! It's gone! My headache's gone!" Was that a popular catchphrase for an aspirin or headache medicine of the time? I got a big kick out of the caricatures of the Seven Whatnots, especially Desi Arnaz and Liberace. So What's impersonation of Louis Prima's wife Keeley (aka Squeeley) Smith was a spot-on riot with the nose and hip scratching. Louis and Keeley were major scat-singing jazz superstars back in the 50's and early 60's with "That Old Black Magic" and "Just a Jigolo".
FIRST!!!! 5:21 Of course you're all tired and bloodshot. This is what you get for trying to sleep when visiting Lost Wages Nevada. Don't blame us for partying. Blame you for being a drip.
The origin of that line was the catchphrase of Anacin asprin which showed how Anacin worked in relieving headaches. So you can thank Sterling/Whitehall the makers of Anacin.
And here I thought most television cartoons from this era were tripe. I find one of the few good ones. Now why couldn't Hannah Barbera be this well animated?
hello, i'm looking for an episode of beany and cecil with a shark in a western adventure. can you help me and what is the name of the episode and have you got this episode here in youtube.com ? i like this old cartoons.
If anyone.could do a remake of this cartoon.script for a arthur cartoon for arthur season19in this one arthur and his frends are pretending they are the seven what nots and Beany and Cecil
Arthur season18should have a remake of so what and the seven what nots Beany and Ceci episode141062with look a likes of arthur and sue Ellen and Ladonna and bud
I love this show. Though the cultural references relate to the 1950's and 60's the humor is timeless. Great silly fun!! So glad that I can view it!!
The humor is absolutely priceless!!!
I remember my grandma showed this to me when I was 10 in 2015 and I loved watching this show
I loved this as a kid growing up in the early 1960’s. Seeing them as an adult is a treat…now I get the puns.
Ha ha yeah like, lost wages Nevada 🤣
Grew up watching these as reruns on local TV. Now it's time to show them to my kids. It's a circle of life kinda thing.
TRULY HILARIOUS. I LAUGHED MY HEAD OFF. I LOVE BEANY AND CECIL. THIS IS A CLASSIC. THANKS FOR SHARING.
I haven't seen this in 50 years and it still has me Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off!

" Lost Wages "
Yep . That's the true name of that city 😂
Good old fashioned silliness! I love it!
Subliminally adult , sublime , sophisticated , surreal , superlative , slurp , I loved it then , and still love it now.
I had the Beany Doll, and Cecil puppet.
Toys that ultimately vanish, like so many do.
I wish I had salvaged them for posterity......I could just KICK my posterior for not doing so.
Another nod to Clampett's love of jazz
I remember watching this Sunday mornings along with Bullwinkle. Both cartoons had an oft-kilter sense of humor..
Bullwinkle? Who's Bullwinkle? LOL.
May I add Roger Ramjet and The American Eagle Squadron?
Yank, Doodle ,Dan and Dee….featuring General G.I. Brass bottom…..👍🏻
@@secretsquirrel7300 He's a moose. His best friend's a flying squirrel named Rocky. Bullwinkle is incredibly stupid, but he's a punster, he breaks the fourth wall, and he read poetry.

BEANY AND CECIL. WE'RE. SO AWESOME TO WATCH . AS A CHILD.. ON KTLA. CHANNEL 5.
This was Bob Clampett's second Snow White satire. When he was at WB cartoons he made the notorious Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs which is now banned from TV and DVDS
It has probably been destroyed but I bet it was pretty funny.
Except on 3rd reprints of the film.
Thanks for posting these cartoons. So funny! When I saw these as a little kid I did not understand the puns and word-plays.
Love the celebrity parodies in this! The Lost Wages nightclubs are advertising parodies of Frank Sinatra, Bob Newhart, Lili St. Cyr., and Milton Berle. Then we have the Whatnots that are caricatures of Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley, Harpo Marx, Desi Arnaz, Fred MacMurry, Toulouse Lautrec, and Liberace! And there's also So What's Keely Smith impression. While it's not as crazy (or contriversial) as Clampett's earlier "Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs," it's still a great twist on the fairy tale.
Hmmm. Only Clampett would've referenced Toulouse-Lautrec, Keely Smith and Lili St. Cyr in a kid's cartoon.
Also Liberace , Fred McMurray Louis Armstrong ,Desi Arnaz , and Harpo Marx
If you watch the old Bugs Bunny cartoons, there's a lot of humor directed at adults in them also
All those casinos and celebs are gone now. Great memories rekindled;thanks
David
Bob New Heart-Burn aka Bob Newhart is still with us though
Well I was wrong

Its gone!
My headache's gone !
Looked like Cecil was having a bad trip.
I was a big Beany & Cecil fan at age 10.
Memories of the 60s. Thanks.
Liberace the flamer sure gets the bad guy in the butt. Wow, there is so much naughty humor in this episode it's amazing.
Cap'n Huff n Puff is my spirit animal.."Egads. I'm going below."
Thank you, Uncle Scrooge-I mean, Uncle Captain.
I died at that part! 😂😂😂
I watched this as a little kid and now discover that the scripts entirely consisted of puns and references I couldn't have possibly gotten.
milton boil and the lancers. these have me in stiches and lol

This just in... I'm being told it was Anacin.
@@timmcinnes2594 The Anacin ad in the early sixties had a human's head with the hammer pounding inside, etc.
@@jln55 Thanks Barney! I'm, old enough to remember that commercial, but not too old to have forgotten it. Those were the days of giants in washing machines.
That was the reaction of a woman taking Anacin, in one of their 1960 ads {Spike Jones also parodied it in "The Late Late Movies"}.
I probably saw this when I was little...and had absolutely no idea what most of it was about.
"Do you think there is too much violence on television?" Heh heh heh....and this before cable!
It was FCC Chairman Newton W. Minow who addressed that question during his famous May 1961 "vast wasteland" speech before the National Association of Broadcasters.
Love the Keely Smith reference at 3:05
Bob Newhart aka Bob New Heartburn passed away today, which i believe is the last celebrity they referenced that was still alive today, rest in peace Bob
I remember them saying the line, Cecil the seasick sea serpent.
One of my favorite episodes, next to Ben-Hare, and the Hammy Awards.
Subliminal laden cartoons. What memories
R.I.P. Bob Hastings (1925-2014) I heard he was the voice of Beany on Beany and Cecil. :'(
BuddyBoy600alt ~> Bob Hastings was the voice of Superboy!
Jim MacGeorge was the voice of Beany.
Dishonest John is my #4 favorite cartoon Villain.
What rank is Dick Dastardly?
Seems like Ren and Stimpy took a lot of inspiration from the design style and warped humor here! Haha!
Nyah,ah ah! Help, Cecil, help! I’m a comin’, Beany boy!
It's like if /b/ was an old cartoon show...
That catchphrase was used for Anacin which illustrated how it worked in getting rid of headaches.
I'm sitting here laughing out loud. Prank Sinatra lol.

Oh thanks for posting these cartoons - I find these funnier than some of the Warner Brothers and a lot funnier than some of the Disney 'toons
...*whispers in ear*
gravity falls........
*walks away slowly*
The Warner cartoons under Bob Clampett were great 😃
I love you, Cecil.
Thanks for identifying the stripper Lili St. Cyr. Only thing St. Cyr was popular as a stripper most likely in the 1940's and definitely in the 1950's, a little later than you identified.

Sorry about that.
"Lost Wages, Nevada". Jesus H. Tap dancing Christ.
My headache's gone!
Dishonest John gets no anesthesia at the dentists' office. Ahhh!!!!
All she needed was a kiss to wake up.
What is so ironic is that any of them could have kissed her to wake her up 🤣
"It's gone! It's gone! My headache's gone!" Was that a popular catchphrase for an aspirin or headache medicine of the time?

YES.
It was a catchphrase used by Anacin. Clampett used lots of topical advertising, broadcasting and music references in his cartoons.
FIRST!!!!

Ain't no Rocky and Bullwinkle 🤷🏼♂️🤓😎✌🏻
Take me to your Lido, milton boil😅
I think "My Headache is Gone" was from an old aspirin commercial.
ANACIN.
LOL!
So all she needed was a kiss?
I find that hilarious because any one of them could of kissed her instead of just standing around crying.
So funny!
The puns.
