When your nephew glares at you like that, you’ve really screwed up! He looks ready to kill Uncle Bugs! Clyde is awfully cute and that’s the 2nd time Uncle Bugs filled his ears with BS. The little Statue of Liberty is adorable and the tea tacks took a while for me to get. Once I did, it was hilarious- similar to Charlie Dog’s “Fetch me a Labrador and I’ll retrieve it!” They bought it for a song was hilarious- what’s ironic is today, music rights pay big bucks! And of course, Bugs seeing stars after a rake hits him is classic! Not too many flags that have the circular 13-stars design left. The ice cream truck gag is laugh-out-loud funny! So I give this 8 stars out of 10.
This type of cartoon could be easily be modernized with internet-savvy kids already knowing the correct history, but still liking the far-fetched tales told by an elder. But I like this one precisely because they weren't concerned about accurate history.
Even though Ben Franklin did use a kite and a metal key for his electricity experiment, he watch the results from a safe distance. If he had been holding a kite, it would have killed him.
So why do the history shows I remember show him flying a kite and actually holding on to the string? I remember a Beavis and Butthead episode had that and it played out like how parents complained that Beavis and Butthead drove their kids to copy dangerous behavior from TV shows. Ah, the 1990s. Like the 1980s, but with better entertainment.
It's a fine short in my opinion, the gags are just ok at best but I did like the ending where Clyde gets pissed at bugs for his story, the animation is fine I'm pretty sure this when friz started to have limited background designs in his shorts, 7.5/10.
Yeah, this is only the best by virtue of the fact that it's nothing like "His Hare-Raising Tale," which was mostly a clip show cartoon and that the limited animation style looks great in high definition, compared to the mediocre quality of standard. And what grade is Clyde in where he has to do homework like that. I remember doing that kind of homework starting in fifth or sixth grade, and he clearly looks like he's in third or fourth grade. Was 1950s education really that advanced? Anyway, it's a good cartoon to watch on the 4th of July (American Independence Day) or if you like cartoons that skewer history, like Sherman and Mr. Peabody or Time Squad (if you think I analyze Pepe Le Pew shorts too much, you haven't seen my work for Time Squad. I have followers on Tumblr who believe me). The Censorship Report on this is a classic case of one scene cut on different networks. The scene: Bugs telling Clyde how Manhattan was sold to the Dutch by the Indigenous American tribe that lived there. If you saw this on ABC's "The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show," then you'll know that the part they cut was the American Indian chief taking the sheet music and yelling, "Me rich chief! Me rich Superchief!" I'm surprised the entire scene wasn't cut, which brings me to the edited version as shown on The WB, Cartoon Network, and Boomerang. Their version went from the Statue of Liberty de-aging into a little girl to Bugs meeting Ben Franklin. MeTV's version is probably the most schizophrenic of all (no offense to actual schizophrenics out there). The first time it aired, it was edited the same way ABC cut it. The second time, it was uncut. The third time, the entire "Manhattan being sold for a song" scene as well as The Statue of Liberty turning into a girl scene was cut. The fourth time, it was uncut. I noticed that the short only airs uncut on or near the 4th of July while all other airings are cut. Make that make sense... We're now down to eight cartoons in 1954, but I'm still going to stick to my Funny Five format (today's gimmick: partial emoji) 1) Gone Batty: A Robert McKimson one-shot cartoon where a 👶 🐘 saves a ⚾️ team from losing. 2) Goo Goo Goliath: A Friz Freleng one-shot where the 🥴 Stork screws up another delivery, leaving a regular-sized couple to care for a giant's 👶. 3) By Word of Mouse: A Friz Freleng Sylvester cartoon where Sylvester the 🐈 goes after two mice who just want to learn about 🇺🇲 capitalism in the 1950s. 4) From A to Z-z-z-z: Chuck Jones's most relatable cartoon for those who daydreamed in 🏫 and caught 🥵 for it. This is the first Ralph Phillips cartoon where our schoolhouse hero does just that. 5) Quack Shot: A Robert McKimson Daffy 🦆 vs. Elmer Fudd cartoon where Daffy gets revenge on Elmer for shooting down a mallard. Unfortunately, the revenge is more like Wile E Coyote's many fails than anything long-lasting (except for in a few parts). It's still 😂 in its simplicity.
There was a TV special in 1981 called "Bugs Bunny: All American Hero" that essentially used this cartoon as its foundation and then expanded on it with reused clips from various American history-themed cartoons. Like most of the paste-up specials, it wasn't particularly good.
To be honest, I didn't even know that the song the Indian got paid with was an actual song. I was still young at the time and didn't even see the lyrics to the sheet music. To be fair, this scene also got partially cut whenever I saw it on TV. You'd see Manhattan being bought for a song, but the part where the Indian declares that he's rich was always cut. Kind of weird if you ask me. It honestly wasn't that bad compared to other Indian stereotype jokes in old cartoons. The short itself is cute. The Ben Franklin gag is adorable, so is the Betsy Ross one and that darn "tea tacks" joke is ridiculous but it is memorable, so it's got that. The ending is the best part though. I love Clyde's pissed off face when he comes home from school because Bugs' version of history was BS.
I've seen versions of this where the entire Manhattan gets sold for a song part is cut. I've never seen the version where it cuts off before the Indian says, "Me rich chief! Me rich Superchief!", but I have heard that it exists and that ABC did it, as well as MeTV when Yankee Doodle Bugs first aired on that channel. The versions where the entire scene is cut was on The WB, Cartoon Network, and Boomerang. I don't know if Nickelodeon or FOX edited that scene too. Probably didn't air it.
I actually don’t remember ever seeing the version where the entire scene of Manhattan being sold for a song was cut. However, I also never saw the scene uncut when shown on television. Again, there’s really nothing that offensive with the Indian excitedly declaring himself rich. It’s a cute joke.

So I give this 8 stars out of 10.
That corny Tacks joked lived rent free in my head for years
Clyde was used for a Christmas special in 1979. He was voiced by June Foray.
The one where Taz poses as Santa Claus?
@@canaisyoung3601Yep.
The way Clyde came home from school unhappy and wearing a dunce cap just goes to show that everything Bugs taught his little nephew was wrong.
Interestingly, in both Clyde cartoons, Bugs lives in an actual house rather than a hole.

I just remember laughing when the soldiers shot the ice cream man.

This is the second appearance of Clyde
I love this short.
