- Cecil visits The Hungry I-Land where he meets up with the Beatnik painter Go Man Van Gogh who doesn't dig ANYTHING that's square. Berets, Goatees and bongo drums rule in this world right out of a Jackson Pollock painting.
My dad watched these when he was young and when I was a kid i enjoyed them on tape. I have a child of my own now and we all enjoy them together.
Lord Buckley as THE WILD MAN!!!
Man, I don't dig ANYTHING that's SQUARE!
I love how Go Man Van Gogh's mouth becomes square-shaped when he says "square" at that part.
Don't bugs me, man don't bugs me!
Thanks for your comments!
One of the primary battles over the 1988 Beany and Cecil produced by John Kricfalusi was the network kept trying to block the use of incidental characters, except for Go Man Van Gogh. There was an entire cartoon devoted to him and D.J. The show was cancelled before it could get far. If we remember correctly, something about D.J. sucking all of the color out of the world and Wildman restoring it.
Even the network suits were overwhelmed by the power of the Wildman!
He said.."man,I'm so hip, I wont even eat a square meal"!!
This is THE cartoon. The ultimate!
This was the first Beany and Cecil cartoon I’ve ever seen. I had never even heard about this show until I saw a bit on Bob Clampett on Cartoon Network. Those were the days.
Same here. I remember after seeing this short, I looked up Beany and Cecil on the Internet and found out quite a bit more about the series! (Google was really useful, even in its early years!)
I always remember so enjoying this cartoon when I was a kid about 55 yrs ago.
Me, too! Well over 60 now, though, and counting.
The coolest episode of Beamy & Cecil ever! I dig it the most..Especially Go Man Van Gogh!!!
Of course the voice of the Wildman was none other than the hippist of hip Lord Buckley!
Several other appearances of Go Man Van Gogh in these cartoons were from Scatman Crothers.
@@ChristopherSobieniak Because Lord Buckley passed away shortly after performing this cartoon.
@@Bogframe True.
This is the best. I remember it so vividly.
Yes. I remember this one too. Also a favorite.
I’ve thought of this for decades; finally seeing it again is like rerun of a dream. I’d not heard of Gillespie nor Pollock then- very cool.
Favorite episode as a kid
I had this on VHS. I love the Jackson Pollock backgrounds!
Thanks for your message Fairia. It was actually Lord Buckley who performed the voice of the Wildman in the cartoon, "The Wildman of Wildsville." Scatman Crothers performed all of the other appearances of the Wildman in bumpers and such. Hope this helps.
That makes sense
I had a Cecil stuffy! Love the toons!
ohm myyy!!! the puns and tag lines. what a world , what a world.
The inside jokes flew fast as you could follow them….as much for the parents as the kids😉
Still like this one the best after all these years. I watched the original run and still think of of Uncle Captain and Beanie as beatniks when I hear the word Beatnik. This cartoon is one of the funniest of the series and has a great deal of then current cultural references.. Even though by 1964 the 1959 type Beatnik secene was going out of style for real. It foreshadowed what was coming in 1966/67 in some ways.
Yeah, quite a few beatnik slang and mannerisms in 1961 would also frequently be used by hippies (i.e. "digging" stuff, calling something cool "far out" and un-hip people "squares," saying "like" a lot in their sentences, etc.)
@@ZakWolf That meaning of "square" goes back to the 1940s, when the opposite was "hepcat"!
@@scotpens Indeed; beatniks actually appeared as early as the 1940s, but didn't really start to become popular until the 1950s.
@@ZakWolf The Wild man was voiced by Hipster extraordinaire, Lord Buckley, a master of the Beat lingo.
I am about your age, apparently, and i agree with everything you said 100%!
Effin, HILARIOUS, LIKE, DIGG, MANN!!!....HAHAHAHA!!!!
I fell in love with Beany and Cecil in the 60s as a kid. But I didn’t get most of the jokes until years later. Clampett was a genius.
Punning references to the Hungry I, beatniks, Mort Sahl, Lenny Bruce, Greenwich Village, and the Kingston Trio -- all within 30 seconds! These cartoons were definitely not made just for kids.
Like Birdland dad
@@nortoncomando3728Possibly because of cartoons like this, I was in touch with beatnik culture before I knew what it was called.
hey dont forget pismo beach thats my home
They were the cartoons before the movie. Parents sat the BRATs in place to go get Popcorn & Coke .
Dobie Gilis & Maynard G. Crebs.
Dobie Gilis was what parents hoped for in the Public Domain.
Maynard G, the Beatnik, was what parents HOPED to Avoid.
We always love those analogies to Warner Bros. Cartoons!
Great point..I did too
I love a good Bob Clampett CartooOOON!! And this was one of his best.
This is the first time I have seen this since I was 5 years old in 1961 and I vaguely remember the clinging vine and beatnik wildman. Even to this day I think of Beany and Cecil as being a hip, beatnik-type show. I liked it then but of course I had no idea what the puns, jokes and stereotypes were about. It is actually very clever.
Genius! Weepin over heah. Lord Buckley had them crazy eyes, he wanted you to see through HIS eyes so you could see how crazy it was.
Man, like I dig this the MOST!! Cat's so craaazee, a staright jackent din't hold him!!
"Don't bug me man, don't BUG me".... why did I know and repeat this line after 60+ years?
George of the Jungle picked up his vine swinging skills from Go Man Van Gogh.
Wow! I actually remember this one!
He was. Not long before Cecil told Wildman, "Ah, you're supposed to let me capture you." For that ditty he got the ultimate putdown back from the Wildman,
"Man, like how square can you get?" Punctuated by the square dotted line drawing.
But all's well that ends well.

Great voices!

RE: The Bugs Bunny gag - Bob Clampett was one of the main creators of Bugs Bunny at Warner Bros' Termite Terrace. You can recognise his films (generally) by the fact that his version of Bugs has a sort of football-shaped head with thinner ears that sweep back more than others' versions.
was that pre- Mel Blanc Bugs? i think once Bugs was eating a stalk of celery and says "Celery- powerful nerve tonic... which is good 'cause sure got a LOT of nerve!!! herherherherher"
Probably. I'd have to do some research to be sure.
@@dominicschaeffer909 There's no such thing as a pre- Mel Blanc Bugs Bunny.
@@dominicschaeffer909 That was from the 1939 Bugs Bunny cartoon "Hare-Um Scare-Um". It was directed by Cal Daton and Joseph Benson "Ben" "Bugs" Hardaway, the rabbit's co-creator and namesake.

His full name is "Vincent Van Go Man Van Gogh."
Oh how I love these guys...
A she serpent. LOL. I totally lost it.
Every time I go to Pier 39, there's someone playing Bongos.
Go Man Van Gogh was one cool cat!
@ 6:12 KOOL was once a television station from Phoenix Arizona owned by CBS. It's now a FOX affilated televiion station KSAZ.
That cat could Swoop th' Scene...... The Hip Einie, par example, Noah before Cosby. That wuz' a kool kat, daddy-o. Cool like a mushroom.
It Also Sounds Like Old Jazz Music from 1920s 30s and 40s. 3:47
No the Captain was longtime voiceman from both the puppet and cartoon era, Jimmy MacGeorge. He also played Beany and many of the incidental characters by the way.
Thanks for the information
I like the Wildman. He cool.
I'm trying to make a beatnik character, myself. Van Gogh here is the perfect template for me to build on that. :)
Wildman was the voice of Scatman Cruthers
0:45 "Lenny's Spruce tree"
Is that Hal Peary as the voice of the skipper?
What if he'd whistled for a Stutz Bearcat?! The Re-tard of the Jungle ,more like it! LMS(quare) BO!!

The wildman is not dangerous. Also, I would like to create my own world.
watch out for that ,,,,, tree. ooooo.
4:46 Meh, What's up Pops?
It Sounds like Oldies Playing in another room 20s 30s 40s. 5:11
Best 2 gags; the wildman using cecil's nostrils to TURN-ON & TUNE-IN cecils Face! & TANK-U; your welcome!!!!!
dig the music in this! sounds like it might be Fred Katz
It's either Jack Roberts or Hoyt Curtin's compositions...
I saw this specific episode when I was a child in some Cartoon Network rerun thing... I turn 31 today and that song they sing at the end still pops in my head from time to time haha
Yep, it was rerun in a Season 2 episode of "The Bob Clampett Show." That too was my introduction to "Beany and Cecil," and I remember looking them up on the Internet right after seeing the episode.
4:12 meanwhile, back at the branch
"Keep on moving past the Kingston Tree-O". Um, did he imply something with that remark ?
No more than Lenny Spruce (Bruce).
Pretty good observation
@TheBeanyandCecil Well, the networks simply didn't care since it was the late 80's and we hadn't yet seen that sort of thing happen until another decade. No doubt guys like John K. managed to prove 'em wrong!
1:30 clinging vine
Scatman Crothers is billed as the voice of Wildman, but I read up that another actor is also billed but with the Go Man Van Gogh name.
My brother had a Beany Boy doll
What does Beany say at 5:42?
Jackson Pollock?
The song "American Fingers, American Lips," by Alice Donut mentions him in the first line of the song.
Too hip for the room.
Refuse to watch this on grounds of that UGLY watermark. I love this cartoon, will just watch my old VHS version. Watermarks like that are really stupid, what's stopping somebody else putting their logo over the top of yours? The original artist who made this would be turning in their grave to see how you have debased their art.
what a colossal ass. instead of being thankful that it's available for everyone who doesn't have it on tape, all you can do is piss and moan about an innocuous insignificant "watermark." and who the hell do you think you are? what gives you the authority to speak for the original artists? how the hell do YOU know what they would think? I'LL bet they would be grateful to see their work YT. if you don't like it, just leave. no one will miss your pretentious ignorant comments. jerkwad.
Network intervention ruins creativity.
