- Both Beany and Cecil not only meet the Monstrous Monster but Cecil's undersea buddies Louie the Loan Shark, Snappsy Maxie, Staring Herring and that cut up Jack the Knife.
I'm here because I was doing research on Angus Young the lead guitarist from AC DC and apparently this was his favorite cartoon as a kid
Really!?!? I love Angus! Where did ya read about him liking this cartoon?
It was mine too I remember I had a beanie and cecil a long with the boat I still remember it
It was one of mine, as well.
I had the talking Cecil puppet
@@dopeylsd25 I had a Talking Cecil puppet,too.
I use to watch this when I was 4 & 5yrs of age. Oh my!
You and I are about the same age. I saw the air dates for this on Wiki. The first episodes were in January of 1962 and went to June of 1962.
This was a unique cartoon for it's time . It incorporated humor that mainly adults would get ,like references to current events and people .
In the majority of them ,the puns ,play on words came at a rapid pace. Such talent in the writing 👍
Unique? I don't think so. What about the work of Jay Ward?
Jay's was Very different. Creative in its own way. Both unique. Both Different.
@@bradknopp6502 Touche.
When I was a kid, some of their word puns were way beyond my comprehension. But I remember when they charted a course to "No Bikini Atoll". 😂
I'm worried: Beany and Cecil is making sense.
Certainly more than daily 2023 “ news”🕊♥️
It was a show for all ages, not just kids. Tons of sophisticated humor.
I remember this episode from my childhood; especially the Peter Lorre-esque Staring Herring. It still holds up well! Thanks for posting this!
It's been 50 years since I've seen Beany and Cecil cartoon. This was excellent. Great writing.
Most of the humor would have gone over my head at age 10 or 11. But as an adult I find this humor even funnier than I did as a child.
What a trip down memory lane! I remember watching Cecil cartoons as a kid. Thanks for sharing!
wow..ain't seen beanie and Cecil for 50 years
THE PUNS ARE OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was on German TV in the early 90s. I' ve always liked Cecil so much. 🥰
...that's surprising: everyone knows that the Germans have no sense of humor-(!)
These cartoons were always so well written. The jokes stick even today and the play on words was so playfully clever.
The animation is a mixed bag though, between looking really cheap and really detailed and well done.
Jack the Knife is one swinging cat daddy-o!
I love all the celebrity imitations of the time, including the Monstrous Monster sounding like Ed Wynn, Staring Herring being like Peter Lorre, and of course Jack the Knife and his Bobby Darin voice (I saw in another TH-cam video, Bobby Darin actually sang "My Darling Clementine," the tune Jack the Knife always sings to, and he sounded great!)
Yoooo had this song stuck in my head since the first time I saw it as a kid, and JUST NOW heard the REAL "Jack the Knife" song thanks to our Alexa app!! (The Michael Buble version) & all I kept listening for was "Snapsy Maxie"!!! Had no idea it was a real song!!!
That's because You're too young!
@@WalterDWormack214 Wish I could have heard the original in all it's glory!! Who sang the original?
In this very thread', it's been noted that both Mr. Louis 'Satchmo' Armstrong, and Mr. Bobby Darrin have recorded very well known versions of "Mack the Knife".
@@WalterDWormack214 Ima have to check those out; saw those In my search, but wasn't sure which one was the first...guess I'll just have to check em both out!
Kids' programming was much less cynical in those days.
I love how when the Monstrous Monster appears, the Chinese Dance from The Nutcracker suite plays for absolutely no reason. So funny. XD
He loved certain music (Clampett), that's for sure. ABC/Twinkle..as heard on the Beeping Tom shorts(STRANGE OBJECTS, AIN'T I LITTLE STINGER), VIENNA WOODS (so MUCH so that in 1943 he made a FANTASIA l;ampoon called CORNY CONERTO that partly USED that VIENNA peice), and OH SUSANNA
When these originally aired, I was a toddler - but I remember watching them. And I know it was the original air date because it was at my grandmother's house when she lived on the first floor (she later moved upstairs). I would have been 3 or 4 years old. Yes, I'm an old man.
Jack the Knife , a caricature of Bobby Darin.
It's amazing how some memories stick with you. I remember seeing this as a child. All I remembered was the bit at the end when the monster gets hypnotized. Weird seeing it in context.
Beany and Cecil is one of those rare cartoons that appeals to both kids and adults
Adapting sock puppets to a cartoon base is beyond factious funny., Too classic for Saturday. Bob Clampett is 60s cartoon' CA. Looking for Go Mann VanGo.
Great Bobby Darin impression!
Funny you mention "Happy Wanderers!" Bob Clampett and family used to LOVE to watch that show. Bob Clampett always laughed when he heard Slim's laugh! I hadn't thought about that for many years. It was the precursor to what is now on the Travel Channel. If memory serves me correct we saw this show AFTER the Beany cartoons were made unless of course they were reruns. But the Monster's laugh was VERY similar to Slim's.
I actually had a Beanie beanie, complete with the flying helicopter blade on top. You wound it against a spring inside the hat, and when you were ready you pulled a string and it flew up. Pretty cool for a 5 year old me.
my favorite childhood cartoons;upload more.
The late great Mickey Katz (Father of Joel Gray & Grandpa of Jennifer Gray) was the voice of Shlepalong Catskill!
Beany did have his eyes open for a second.
Yes. The two principal voice artists on the cartoon series were Erv Shoemaker and Jimmy MacGeorge. The former performed Cecil and D.J. The latter performed Beany and Uncle Captain Huffenpuff. They were both just great and did such wonderful impressions such that Bob Clampett depended on both of them to do many of the incidental characters. We just saw Jimmy MacGeorge recently and he was in really fine form. He sang for us, did some comedy and the character voices as well!
Jim MacGeorge was also Ollie in the Laurel and Hardy cartoons.
I remember this show from when I was little. Not sure why I loved it so much, but there wasn't a lot on back then like there is now. I remember being 5 years old and only getting 2 channels.. I was born the year it started.
I wouldn't have understood a lot of this humor then, but I remember thinking it was hilarious. LOL
I must have been of above-average intelligence for my age. In a different Beany & Cecil episode, I knew, at age 9, exactly how funny it was when one of the points on the map was No Bikini Atoll!
Yes! The singing Dina Sore!
Thanks for keeping classic cartoons alive !
The most surreal cartoon series ever to hit TV. I was too young and clueless to get most of the humor, but I knew something special was going on. :)
I know my Dad got many more puns than we did when we watched them together the first time. He'd be giggling at something that just went over a 5 year old's head, until later when i was older and got some of the puns. But that was Clampett'[s MO.
Very little is more enjoyable than a Bob Clampett CartoooooOOOOOOOOON!!
Arin was right this cartoon is amazing!
I always come back to this whenever Arin mentions it on an old playthrough
Thanks for posting this! I saw this episode a million times when I was very, very young and I always wanted to rewatch it.
This early anamation, 1957- 62, is some of best!!. Something about being broke and hungry brings out the best in artists. Piece to the Clampit family.
OMG Cecil and Jack the Knife! Iconic!
A clip of this cartoon was featured in "About Last Night..." (1986).
What a Gem!!! Thank You!!! Have a Magical Day!!! and a Beautiful Day!!! Kelly!!! Lightworker and Energy Healer!!!
Aahh my childhood 💓
When Louie cuts the puppet outfit, you can see the hairy arm of the puppeteer, talk about breaking the fourth wall!
I still have my Beany and Cecil draw string talkers. I loved that show when I was a kid, I still do.
Oh my gosh!!! Jack the Knife is the funniest part of this cartoon so far!!!
Good question, MishuTaste,
Depends on how you look at it. One theory is that Beany Boy and Uncle Captain Horatio K. Huffenpuff are perpetually squinting because they are out on the ocean so much and they get that sun reflection off the water. The other theory is that they are just so darn happy all of the time and the squint is really a smile. Or both. Now, you decide.
The monster reminds me of the evil witch from The Sword in the Stone
He does look a bit like Madame Mim, doesn't he? The voice is an impression of vaudeville comic Ed Wynn.
I swear I remember this episode from when I was a kid in the mid 60's
Wow! Now I know where my sophisticated sense of humor came from. Haven't thought of that show in ages. Cartoons were fun.
My mom loved this cartoon!! So glad I found this!
Cecil's Crew got that monster good..
My Name is Cecil ...I loved this when I was a kid
My child’s name is Cecil. The name still has a distinct ring & Our Cecil was born an old soul . We watched Beany Cecil when he was younger ( thanks U Tube )♥️
there is an episode, where cecil fight with a wild west shark called "black jack". I love cartoon sharks.
Has you this episode of beany and cecil cartoons ?
I mean, the episode called "the vast vasteland"
Thanks for your comments everybody. It is not far fetched to place Alan Hale, Jr. and Captain Huffenpuff in the same proverbial boat. Only thing is Huff would have influenced the Skipper and not the other way around because Huff pre-dated both the Skipper and Gilligan's Island. The cartoons were EARLY 60's.
Hey, the 'Goodfellas' take care of their friends.
This is the best!
Don't eat leftovers on the 3rd day or you will die
Ed Wynn, for sure - what a phunnie cartune!
And it was mine. Obviously he was a genious? LOL
The animation of this cartoon is wonderful for the time.
What studio made it?
Bob Clampett Productions. He wrote the stories and produced the animation at his own studio. Bob had a great staff of animators and gag writers to illustrate all those wonderful puns, which I didn’t catch as a kid. Didn’t matter. I loved Beany and Cecil anyway.
@@markschildberg1667 Bob Clampett used to work for Warner Brothers from 1933 to 1945.
He was once lured into the newly formed Warner Bros.-Seven Arts animation studio in 1967, but refused to do so.
Clampett then in 1971 ran into a enemy conflict with Chuck Jones about the "Bugs Bunny Superstar" as he was taking the credits the *sole creator* of Bugs Bunny.
Although a children's show, it incorporated satirical references to
current events and personalities which adults found entertaining, and
the show also attracted adult viewers. Some of the plots were easily
recognisable as thinly veiled lampoons of current political issues.
Snarky side remarks by Beany, Cecil and the rest of the cast often
alluded to embarrassing public fiascos or personages, on which the adult
audience immediately picked up.
Sounds like you're talking about Rocky & Bullwinkle.
+tom wright Both.
Never heard of Rocky and Bullwinkle, but i know it dosent air in my country
I almost got to meet Bob Clampet in 1982. He was scheduled to be interviewed by my business about the re-release of these cartoons on video tape. Unfortunately, 2 days before the interview, he died.
They all sound baked as fuck, I like it.
The tune he sings to is "Mack the Knife", a classic tune by louis Armstrong. The incorporation of classic tunes like this and of coarse RaggMopp is one of the things I loved about this show since I first saw them in the 60's!
It was actually "Clementine", which was also done by Bobby Darin.
@@tonycanabal1659 The rythym was that of Mack the Knife.
Game Grumped, From San Diego Comic Con!!
Thanks for uploading these. I saw the 1st or 2nd generation B & C reruns on tv when I was a kid and I loved them. In the late 80's I started collecting the vhs tapes of these before they went out of stock. Looking for Harecules Hare episodes too.
Hah. I used to have a a stuffed Beany and Cecil dolla.
I actually had a recurring childhood nightmare about Louie the Loan Shark, Snappsy Maxie, Staring Herring and Jack the Knife decades ago. They appeared as corporate logos for some career training commercial along with a normally friendly looking cartoon alligator (I forget who he was supposed to be). The announcer did his usual routine of telling viewers what to do if they needed help with a career, then just before he announced the phone number, Louie, Jack and the Gator suddenly became mean, burst out of the TV and in unison, growled in a threatening manor "REEFREE INFORMATION" (whatever the hell that meant). As they were doing so, all three ganged up on me. Staring Herring scurried away in fear. Depending on which night I had this nightmare, Snappsy Maxie either joined Staring Herring, or watched from the sidelines with delight. The shark, swordfish and gator all tied me to a railroad track, and then disappeared, just as a typical late-19th Century steam engine started barreling towards me before the dream ended.
...ok...ok, THAT is terrifying...hope you've had better dreams since bud!
Wow, they really went all out with those ship puns. I'm... actually kind of impressed.
Nice cartoon style. And small wonder, since the creator worked on Looney Tunes years before. :)
Haaven't seen this show in over sixty years. I could have sworn Beany used to have eyes.
Grump Bump.
Indeed, caricatures and puns abound in this cartoo-OOOOOOON! J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI, Bobby Darin (Jack the Knife), Peter Lorre (Staring Herring), Ed Wynn (The Monstrous Monster), possibly Louis Armstrong (Snappsy Maxie), tankards of ale (oil), spare ribs (aka "spar" ribs), stereotypical Irish policemen (the starfish like a cop's badge), the stage musical "Show Boat", and others too numerous to mention.
* I've often suspected that Captain Huffenpuff inspired Gilligan's Island's Skipper! 😃
Actually, it was the other way around!
The puns drove me and my brother crazy, even at age 10 and 7
Wonderful
this show is goddamn insane
i freaking love it
It is also pretty much what the puppet looked like.
game grumps lead me here
same
+TikiMassacre same xD
Peter Conlon same
All kinds of pop culture references from Steve! Chuck Amuck with "What's Opera Doc?" Friz whatis? with Herr Meets Hare. Bobby Darin, HB, Huckleberry Hound, My Darling Clementine and Ed Wynn all in reference to a Beany and Cecil cartoon.
What a world!
I was just thinking Cecil looks like a sock puppet annd then the swordfish cut him! Haha.
We don't recall Ride of the Valkyries in this cartoon. We haven't seen this for a while but we think Ride... was in the storm sequence of "Beany and Cecil Meet Billy the Squid", the pilot episode for the Beany and Cecil Cartoon series. Billy the Squid is Dishonest John's robot octopus.
Sheet, Heckle & Jeckle are here too!!! I'm a kid again!!!
Cecil the seasick sea serpent.
Hey..ED WYNN as the voice of the mosnter..so someone below told the truth. Bobby Darin as Jack and Peter Lorre as Staring Herring..okay, imitated.
Outdated dialogue? You could look at it as true to its time. And its not the bland non-descript stuff you get so much from more recent cartoons. Beany and Cecil is all about cultural references i.e.Jack the Knife--Bobby Darin
We just posted Wildman of Wildsville. You could say the same for that cartoon, but I'd prefer to say they captured a reverence for the era. These cartoons are like little charming nuggets that could have easily been left in a time capsule.
Thanks for your thoughts.
The monster reminds me of Mad Madam Mim.
Sure does..
I was first introduced to this episode when ABC aired this in 1988 in lieu of the new series that didn’t do so well
Why do I know this cartoon when it came out 2 years before I was born??
well, for your information, that recurring theme that is played at 1:14 of the video and before and after is from the nutcracker suite by tchaikovsky. probably not that important but it does make for an eclectic soundtrack.
I AM STARING HERRING'S NUMBER 1 FAN!!!
I always love this show video when I was a little kid ⭐️.
LOVED this s a kid!!!
Make that Louie the loan loan shark is the funniest part so far
This is surprisingly good.
My favorite cartoon
The monstrous monster's laugh seems very similar to that of Slim Barnard of "Happy Wanderers" fame. Hard to find the 50s-60s show though Huell Howser did an episode of *his* show about it and used clips throughout. It's not so much the monster's voice, which seems to be all over the place, but the laugh, which Barnard seemed to unconsciously use to punctuate practically everything he said. Of course I hear the Ed Wynn angle, too - but whoever did this voice likely watched "The Happy Wanderers!"
Damn it Arin
BTW I think...Bobby Darin has jumped the swordfish with Mack the Knife..LOL. Of course they couldn't use the song, so they use oriignal lyrics to a cool theme set to Huckleberry Hound's theme--"Clementine"....that "Monster" is defintely a spoof of famed radio, TV, stage, and vaudevillian, Ed Wynn.
