I like you can see here the contrast between the early 30's rubberhose era of Looney Tunes and the more refined late 30's onward style here. It really shows how much better the references to Durante got in the later years, when it comes to the timing, acting, delivery, and how they utilised the reference in the writing.
Well observed. Durante's TV show captivated me as a child because even then I could see the pathos that informed his comedy. "Good night, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are."
I remember a reference from The Powerpuff Girls Movie. After Mojo Jojo made all the other primates at the zoo intelligent, they all started coming up with their own evil schemes. A proboscis monkey, Hotcha Chacha, was singing about making people slip on banana peels.
Loving this idea for the obscure Looney Tunes references videos. You should do ones for James Cagney, W.C. Fields, Bing Crosby, Bogie and Bacall, Mae West, the Marx Brothers, Jack Benny and his radio show (which might take up a few vids), classic actresses (Bette Davis, Garbo, Ann Sheridan, Shirley Temple, Joan Blondell, Judy Garland, Martha Raye, Marilyn Monroe, etc), classic actors (I.e. Edward G. Robinson, Mickey Rooney, Karloff and Lugosi, Paul Muni, etc), and references to classic Hollywood films
Once again, people liked the idea of the celebrity references idea for the Jerry Colonna one so I'm making this a series. I'm just gonna copy and paste an introduction to Jimmy Durante from Wikipedia "James Francis Durante [...] was an American comedian, actor, singer, and pianist. His distinctive gravelly speech, Lower East Side accent, comic language-butchery, jazz-influenced songs, and prominent nose helped make him one of the United States' most familiar and popular personalities of the 1920s through the 1970s." And go read the description for the timestamps.
A walrus also carries his visage in the Private Snafu short “In the Aleutians - Isles of Enchantment” from 1945, where he says the classic, “These are the conditions that prevail.”
0:15 I was looking for that episode forever. I remember watching it with my dad, and he likes the ending when the dog said "That's my boy who said that".
its amazing so many celebrities never clapped back against the studios for the way they were mocked in cartoons of the era, especially since they really hammered home how ugly or goofy looking a lot of them were XD
I thought for sure we'd see the cat in Hoppy Daze say, "Jumpin' Jehoshaphat! What a left! It's dyMaNite!" Followed by Hippity Hopper's, "Ha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha!"
You forgot one at the end of the Snafu short “Three Brothers.” At the end of the short, Technical Fairy says, “That’s my boy who said dat, ha-cha-cha-cha.”
You left out one from a Private Snafu cartoon. This walrus has been waiting, back to us, until he finally gets a fish. After swallowing it, he looks at us, but I've forgotten what he said. He had Jimmy Durante's face. Can't remember the title, but it's set in Alaska.
0:05 This one threw me for a loop because it looks like Hitler going after a Jewish stereotype with a hatchet. But Jimmy Durante isn't Jewish, hes Catholic. So were all those Jewish stereotypes based on a man who wasn't even Jewish? Or did they come before?
Or - hear me out - or, you are seeing what you want to see. You're seeing Jewish Stereotypes in the cartoons where there are none. I don't think it's the cartoons that're at fault.
@@toaster2428 Him being Italian makes it ironic since the Italians were part of the Axis. Does that also mean Jewish stereotypes were based on a man who wasn't Jewish?

Its amazing how Jimmy Durante is STILL referenced even in todays cartoons. There's was a reference to him in Spongebob.

Is this what they were going for when they made Grunkle Stan?
Mortifier Mouse is basically just Jimmy Durante as a narcissistic rat.
@@TheAdventuresOfJimiJaden Well isn't that what he plays?
@@Haywood2 maybe? 🤷🏻♂️
Jimmy Durante caricatures are always amusing.
Even popped up in the Powerpuff Girls Movie and post-sequel Spongebob, of all places!

So that's where the Hacha-cha-cha has came from in Powerpuff Girls.
I’ve heard that when designing Mojo Jojo’s army, Craig and his crew couldn’t resist making the proboscis monkey a Jimmy Durante caricature!
I like how a couple of these also reference what a great piano player he was.
Even if we never got Jimmy Durante charictures, we still would have known it was Durante by Mel Blanc’s amazing talent, that’s how good he was!
It's wild my boomer parents have said "it's disgustipatin'" my whole life and only NOW do I find out where that came from.
I’m in the same boat, only I’ve dropped “disgustipatin’” in casual conversation and gotten sideways looks from it. Thanks a lot, mom.
Every time I hear Jimmy Durante's voice/impressions of him, I can't help but smile!
Like with Ed Wynn, Peter Lorre, and Paul Lynde, Jimmy Durante lives on through impressions/references!
"Hoppy Daze" (1961) also had a Jimmy Durante parody, and it even had Hippety Hopper imitate Jimmy's "hachachachachachacha!"
"Am I mortified!" 😅
His self-deprecating style reminds me of the late *Rodney Dangerfield!*
This is the same guy who sang Frosty the Snowman, BTW
And if I’m not mistaken, it was his last role before he exited the living world, stage left.
Don’t forget he narrated it too
@@AndrewHager02no he just retired after Frosty the Smowman, he passed away in 1980.
Jimmy definitely one the legendary comedian and actor that I have ever known.
Ha cha cha cha cha!

Can’t wait for the Humphrey Bogart one. Also I’m looking forward to the “How Dry I am” video too
Interesting how Jimmy's last name means "enduring one". Truth!
Every body once to get in on the Act.
Thanks for The Old Smiler compilation. Anyone getting the reference can have some of what's buried under the big W
Now that's a mad, mad, mad, mad shout out 👃
@@bancoran thank you.
His character literally "kicked the bucket" when Smiler Grogan passed away!
The inspiration for Spike and Doggie Daddy
I still listen to Jimmy's music.
He is quite the personality!
0:28 R&S fun fact! To make Stimpy's design, John K made Stimpy from this big nose cat from memory.
2:01 been quoting this alot lately
0:18 - Maybe was an Inspiration for Hanna - Barbera for making Auggie Daddy?
Many of Hanna Barbara characters were inspired by many celebrities such as Art Carney being inspiration for Yogi Bear.
@@philipmarable8698 not to mention many characters are based on Ed Wynn and Peter Lorrie.
Don’t forget Spike the Dog
@@travisbost469 the One from "Tom and Jerry" I suppose.

1:13 “mortifying” 😂😂😂
0:25 those are the conditions that prevail
A walrus also carries his visage in the Private Snafu short “In the Aleutians - Isles of Enchantment” from 1945, where he says the classic, “These are the conditions that prevail.”
In all my years I did not know that I had done an impression of this guy since I was 17 years old! 😱
You can also do Lew Lehr, Hitler and other celebrity references too.
"Rabbits is the cwaziest peoples!"

0:15 I was looking for that episode forever. I remember watching it with my dad, and he likes the ending when the dog said "That's my boy who said that".
And of course, the Heckle and Jeckle cartoon with "Get a couple of songbirds today"
Love this video. Hoping to see one of Bing Crosby.
its amazing so many celebrities never clapped back against the studios for the way they were mocked in cartoons of the era, especially since they really hammered home how ugly or goofy looking a lot of them were XD
Bing Crosby tried to sue Warner Bros. over Let It Be Me and Bingo Crosbyana in the 30’s tho.
Classic 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
You should do Frank Sinatra, if you haven't already! Or popular crooners from that time :)
Don’t forget Little Red Rodent Hood where Sylvester says Everybody Wants to Get Into the Act

1:11 the song sounds like from the mouse episode
Eat your heart out Alan-A-Dale

You forgot one at the end of the Snafu short “Three Brothers.” At the end of the short, Technical Fairy says, “That’s my boy who said dat, ha-cha-cha-cha.”
I had no idea who this guy was as a kid in the frosty the snowman tv special.
Am I mortified?
Hehe classic
Umbriago!
What does that mean?
@@robbieking4070 Something to do with everybody wanting to get into the Act I guess.
It's disgusting! (BAM!) 😄
@@robbieking4070I looked it up & long story short of it. It's an italian-american slang to "DRUNKA$$" or "Village Idiot"

Better in later movies when they sounded more like him.😂😅😂😅
3:42 What’s the song that plays right here?
The song is called Why Don’t You Fall in Love with me? By Mabel Wayne
Disgustipated......Okay I will remember that one.
oh wow! did they use him for inspiration for Butch's voice from Tom and Jerry?
1:12 does anyone know the name of the song?
"Lullaby of Broadway"
So that's who this was😮😂 When I used to watch Looney tunes as a kid in Nigeria, i always laughed at this character but never got the reference 😂😂
0:55 0:40 2:27 3:47 0:52
Jimmy Durante voiced himself in the cartoons.
3:23
that first clip was..... interesting
I would like to see clips of the cartoon versions of Abbott and Costello.
Princess tour
If you wanted to get risky you could've put the entirety of A Gruesome Twosome in this compilation.
I wanna see Hugh Herbert!
What is the title/episode name of the blackface red riding hood at 2:50? Cant find it!! By the way i love jimmy durante along with my fiancé
Goldilocks and the Jivin' Bears! It's one of the Censored 11 of course but the music in it is very good!
@@looneytunessongs-xr5fsi figured it was censored due to the blackface controversy. Thats probably why i couldnt find it
Think you could do one on all the Marx Brothers references next?
There are some moments where Looney Tunes mention Joe Besser as well.
