   Maybe funny first time around (or second, or third …). Still there are some “classics” that can be watched over again.

   I don’t care for all this new stuff either. Now I’d watch a 6-hour Warner Bros. Looney Tunes marathon.

   Considering how funny and usually well-written the old Warner Bros cartoons were, one has to feel sorry for Ms. Angelini. Many of them required a specialized knowlege, such as Foghorn’s “make me look like Rock Hudson, Plymouth Rock Hudson, that is”. Until my dad told me, I didn’t know that there was a common type of chicken on most farms in the midwest in the 1940s-50s called “plymouth rock.”
   .
   I’ve only met one person over the years that didn’t have a sense of humor of some type. (Some I could do without, like the biological humor that seems standard to GenX women). That person was essentially handicapped, not understanding a good part of that which makes us human.

   Mrs. Angelini may have well watched those cartoons in their first run, if they are “Looney Toons”. But, to Nabuqudurluriuzhur’s reference…nowadays, most people wouldn’t know who Rock Hudson was, let alone Plymouth Rock variety chickens.

   There’s an episode of the old Spiderman cartoon where Miss Brandt remarks, ‘I haven’t seen Jameson this happy since Dewey beat Truman!’
   I’ve often wondered how many younger people couldn’t understand that reference!

   What makes you think she isn’t watching Looney Tunes?

   What we’re talking about here is Roadrunner. The “anvil-crashing” reference gives that away. Those cartoons were suppressed and have never come back. It’s a damn shame.

    “What’s Opera, Doc?”
    Richard Wagner’s 15 hour “Der Ring des Nibelungen” compressed into a six minute cartoon. One of the all-time great achievements in animation.

    Yeah, like the older “Tom and Jerry” cartoons and “Droopy Dog” cartoons. I really loved the one “Droopy Dog” cartoon where Droopy is chasing this wolf that escaped from jail and the wolf hides in a movie theatre. The wolf is going to watch a movie and Droopoy appears on screen. The wolf’s eyes get HUGE and you hear the sound of an old car horn followed by a horse’s neigh like the wolf can barely scream with his tongue flapping around :-)
