My mom is a first grade teacher and some educational entertainment place sent her a series of educational dvd's one of the dvd's had Teeny Tiny and the Witch Woman on it . It's creepy for adults let alone six year olds. It's not really all that famous so most people won't have seen it, but I think you might have fun with it. Here is a link: th-cam.com/video/M2Hq4AzOhds/w-d-xo.html
There's the Gargoyles episode 'Deadly Force' where Broadway accidentally shoots Elisa Maza. And the Captain Planet episode 'Mind Pollution' where we see an actual death by drug overdose on screen in a kids show.
I know right? The poor guy's been down there for hours. He's so scared, he can barely meow, and Porky's reaction? He demands that Sylvester take off that "makeup" this instance. SMH.
I got so scared as well as felt sad for Sylvester While we're talking about sad/freaky reactions Sylvester makes I also think when the very image of him on the thumbnail had that same affect. How ironic a scared cat reactions is scarier than what is causing him to BE scared
"He doesn't even question why he has an anvil". In the Looney Toons universe, I'm pretty sure they're issued. Baby is born? Its anvil has been delivered and placed on the doorstep.
The reason why Sylvester was renamed from Thomas was because Warner Bros. didn't want to be confusing considering they and MGM already have a Tom Cat named Tom.
The sylvester and porky one with the hotel was creepy too. Just seeing those eyes everywhere (nooks and crannies and the Moosehead) was really eerie, especially at the end.
As much as I like this series, I wish Doug would bring back "Was That Real?", cause there is still a ton of shows that are still remembered by some but not many people know of.
I had no idea he had a show like that but I had a moment or two where I questioned memories of stuff I saw as a kid. Like a Courage the Cowardly Dog episode on the scooby doo alien invaders VHS or Kablam from Nickelodeon.
5:14 Actually nice detail with how Porky unloads it. Cylinder out, barrel pointed away from either of them. He clearly has some familiarity with gun safety.
I think Looney Tunes should do a version of The Wicker Man starring Sylvester, with Porky as the villain Lord Porkysle. "Sylvester: Oh, No! Not the Tweety Birds! Not the Tweety Birds! Ahhhhhhh oh, they're in my eyes!"
For me the most alarming shot is when Porky's tied up with that sign saying "you were right"--wow! I also love that tilted angle when he's covered in flour or whatever and he's staring at the camera! That genuinely is really creepy!
"Damn Porky,,hide your shame!" That line cracks me up.😆 I'm glad he introduced us to Lou Lehr, for a long time I thought the mouse was doing Jerry Colonna (also a radio personality and voice actor with a mustache and a very distinct voice). Clearly, I was wrong Doug thank you.
Something I loved about a lot of Thomas episodes is that they had a sense of peril or unease to them. Duncan Gets Spooked is still one that sticks with me.
How about another dark Jones cartoon called “The Hypochondri-Cat?” It’s another in the series of “Hubie and Bertie torture some poor cat” cartoons, in which they convince hypochondriac Claude that he died and became an angel! What’s unusual about it is that Claude never realizes he’s been duped-at least as far as we know. The cartoon is noteworthy for the hallucinatory visuals in the “operation” scene.
That reminds me of the one in which the gophers trick the dog by putting him in all these weird places when he's asleep. Really messed-up stuff. Oddly enough, when I was in the hospital due to complications of Crohn's that caused me to go septic and almost killed me, one of the medicines I was given made me hallucinate. I actually saw Looney Tunes cartoons playing that weren't actually on. It was either that one or the one you described that "played," and I believed that it was a sign that the nurses and even my parents were in on a plot to drive me crazy. I also heard movie gangster voices coming out of my IV machine and thought it was some weird electronic malfunction. No idea what it was that they gave me that made me hallucinate that vividly, though, but I'm thankful that they stopped. To this day, I am not sure what was real and what wasn't during that period of time.
I love this series so much because of how he gives background, history and animation and art trivia with these cartoons and not just talking about the scary stuff.
Oh my gosh, I remember watching this cartoon when I was little. Had a bunch of Looney Tunes recorded on VHS, with this being one of them. Ah, the memories. We don't get cartoons like this nowadays.
Grew up with this one. My favorite of these is the one where Sylvester sees a 'ghost' walking down a hallway which is actually mice stacked on each other's shoulders and you hear the 'doo doo doo' music. Loved it so much I used to walk down the hallway at night with a sheet over my head going 'doo doo doo, doo doo doo'
2 things: 1) I remember and love this episode! Didn't know this was the episode where Sylvester got his official name, though. That's a neat fact to know 2) Probably not gonna happen, but maybe do Graveyard Shift or Nasty Patty from SpongeBob SquarePants?
If you’d like to see another one from Cartoon Network, I would recommend Dee Dee’s Room from Dexter’s Lab! It literally opens with a detailed illustration of Dexter with bloodshot eyes, as he says, “The horror! The horror!” 👁👁
10:02 Thank you for explaining one of the deeper mysteries of my childhood. It makes sense because in another Looney Tunes cartoon the story took place in a movie theater and you’re just watching a bunch of zany jokes and antics and parodies on the screen. One of them was one of this guy’s fake news broadcasts, it was called “Nit Wit News” (the sketch, not the cartoon).
Actually it was Porky who did that. See how he unloads the weapon with the barrel pointed away from both of them? He at least knows some of the basic safety rules.
I used to have a DVD that included this short, I remember watching this short all the time and laughing really hard at it. I’m getting so much nostalgia watching this.
Chuck Jones made some of the greatest Looney Tunes episodes like this & “What’s Opera Doc?”. His animation is so lovely and expressionist. This episode is probably the most messed up outside of the “Jekyll and Hyde” spoofs
Doug really knows his stuff when he talks about the animation! I met him once at a Comic-Con and he was really nice. It would be so fun to hang out with him. I feel like we get on like a house on fire! We both love animation!
Thanks Doug, this is one of my all-time favorites for Sylvester. The proofs in the pudding that non verbal characters can emote so much if well animated
I remember watching this on a vhs cartoon collection as a kid and after many years the only thing i remember is the ending where sylvester is carrying porky out and hes just singing "where the deer and antelope plaaaay"
Thanks Doug, I'm glad you highlighted these 3 cartoons, they cracked me up as a kid and it was the only times where I did feel bad for Sylvester and wanted to smack Porky lol :)
Wow, it's been over 25 years since I've seen this cartoon! Funny thing, they would always cut it at the part where the mice bring out Porky with the "you were right Sylvester" sign, so the ending was left even more dark and open to interpretation!
Whenever I saw it on TV--they'd cut out the part where Sylvester attempted to kill himself. I'm quite certain the first time I saw the short, I actually did see this, but I was far too young to remember that part (I just remember Porky giving in, and letting Sylvester go to bed with him--but I definitely knew when I saw the short again on TV that something was missing because they'd immediately cut from Porky yelling at Sylvester to get out to Sylvester inside the bed with Porky while the mice rolled it out the window.

I used to love this Porky & Sylvester trilogy as a little kid but I swear I didn't realize how dark this one actually is, until now. It really is the scariest and darker one out of the three shorts, the other two are more focused on comedy, and one specifically, on sci-fi themes (my personal favorite of the trilogy)
At 4:02 Sylvester looking like that with his heart in his throat and his eyes in different images...spooked the hell out of me. I remember having this cartoon on my tv and it froze at that part...in the dark room...and I woke up to this, freaked me out
*THAT ONE!!!!* That I remember watching! And I loved the part where by morning Sylvester whacks Porky’s Head and Porky was all “and then deer and the antelope pl pl pl” repeatedly after that hit on the head Cracks me up Oh wait, this ain’t the Dry Gulch Hotel, Crap.
The Cobweb Hotel (1936) is one of my favorite cartoons. I watched it as a kid a million times and it always made me so uncomfortable but I couldn't help but love it, and it still has the same effect on me today.
Oh my god!! I remember watching this on TV when I was a kid and I have always remembered it but was never able to find it again! I’m so happy you have reintroduced this to me after all these years! Thank you!
This was awesome & thanks for that last part! I have always wondered who that was. Same with Bugs Bunny when he was impersonating a snorting old man in a wheelchair saying, "Ladies & gentleman of the jury... you can't send this young man... to prison!" If anyone knows, I'd *greatly* appreciate it.
Yes! I've been waiting for you to cover this one! This is one of my favorite Looney Tunes shorts. The atmosphere, music and animation in this short are top notch fantastic. A perfect blend of humor and horror. My only nitpick is that when I was a kid, they used to butcher out the scene where Sylvester is yelled at by Porky to get out--and he pulls out a gun from the drawer and tries to commit suicide--they'd usually skip that scene and cut immediately to the part where the mice are rolling the bed out the window without any context as to how Sylvester ended up in the bed with Porky whatsoever. I even knew that something was cut, because I vaguely remember seeing the scene uncut when I first saw this short--although I was too young to remember the suicide sequence. In addition, I believe they also used to cut out the scene where a hooded mouse attempted to shoot Porky with a gun while he held an unconscious Sylvester in his arms.
Doug should definitely do Invader Zim's "Dark Harvest", even if he hasn't seen the whole show that episode is definitely iconic for what it got away with.
Jeffrey Weber also doug Little bit more info of zim becouse unlike courge which don,t need that mush backstory Zim one Weird backstory is was creator by guy who wrote comic about serial killer this is like garth ennis make children cartoon or mark millar make one or Frank Miller oh shit he made one and not thing i would say is it
When Sylvester meowed after Porky saw him after whatever happened in that room or wherever, I thought the mice either _lobotomized_ him or administered some kind of _electroconvulsive torture_ to him. I'm so used to hearing him talk that I thought him meowing was supposed to be a sign that he was _brain damaged_ or something. Granted in this cartoon, he didn't talk prior to the torture, but he didn't act any different than usual apart from being scared of the house.
I've been watching looney Toons since I can remember. I thought I figured out all the celeb references, but I never knew where the "craziest peoples" line came from. You learn something new everyday. :D
I'd love to see you do a Gravity Falls episode. A bunch could work but 'Northwest Mansion Mystery ' and 'Sock Opera' are probably the darkest when it comes to full episodes. The Weirdmageddon episodes are probably too long to do in this format style.
I don't think any of us kids understood that joke as a kid--that it was a reference to an old actor at the time known for that look and catchphrase "Monkeys is the cwaziest people!" All I knew was that this reference showed up in quite a few Looney Tunes shorts.
My mom was always a huge Looney Toons fan, and I remember watching this toon with her when I was seven...always recognized that it was a little darker and scarier than most episodes, but it was still one of my favorites, and it remains so to this day.
I'd love to see "Three little Bops" again. That was always one of my favorite cartoons and I can never find it. It is about the three little pigs in a jazz band, and the wolf is trying to join the group. The music in it is great.
Yes, there should be. As well as an "Old vs. New" of Disney's Peter Pan against the british non-Disney live-action Peter Pan from 2003. And a "Dark Toons" about the episode of "Legend of the Three Caballeros" episode "Mount Fuji Whiz" where Donald Duck and friends die, go to the Underworld for real and must escape back to the world of the living. Really dark and trippy for a Donald cartoon.
Nobody cares about the live-action Lion King anymore. That movie's 15 minutes are up, and every reviewer (Doug included) has already weighed in on that. That corpse has been picked clean.
I really love this series! :D I hope you're able to find more and more films to cover, to keep it going! - This one here, we had on VHS growing up. This was extra fun for me :D Thanks, Critic!
Thank you for answering the question about that character the mouse was portraying at the end! I never knew for the longest time and no one could ever tell me either!
I remember this one!! The Looney Toon that scared me the most (and still gets me) is one where Daffy kept turning psychotic and attacking Porky. He would ruffle his hair and develop sharp teeth!!
This was the first one on the Bugs Bunny Howl-O-Ween Special that we watched EVERY Halloween morning when I was a kid and that I continue to watch now while eating the traditional Monster's Eyeball breakfast! I love this cartoon!!!

My mom is a first grade teacher and some educational entertainment place sent her a series of educational dvd's one of the dvd's had Teeny Tiny and the Witch Woman on it . It's creepy for adults let alone six year olds. It's not really all that famous so most people won't have seen it, but I think you might have fun with it.

The looney tunes cartoon “invasion of the bunny snatchers”
"Not enough looney tune cartoons have a beheading "
- Doug
Or hanging by a noose.
_The Two Mouseketeers_ would like a word with you.
I know it's not technically Looney Tunes, but it's relevant.
For what I remembered from Looney Toons, it has enough to do without beheading someone every episode...
That little PTSD "meow" at 7:30 just broke my heart
I know right? The poor guy's been down there for hours. He's so scared, he can barely meow, and Porky's reaction? He demands that Sylvester take off that "makeup" this instance. SMH.
I got so scared as well as felt sad for Sylvester
While we're talking about sad/freaky reactions Sylvester makes I also think when the very image of him on the thumbnail had that same affect. How ironic a scared cat reactions is scarier than what is causing him to BE scared
Also the dutch angle used to make you feel even more uneasy is classic. Chuck Jones knew his stuff.
lol I wonder what they were doing down there!
Poor Sylvester.
Porky: ""Th-th-th-l'm in a death cult folks!"
It really isn't a death cult, if you watch the cartoon the mice are just trying to freak out Sylvester so him and Porky leave
More like "Th-th-th-thats Truly alll folks". background noises. "Oh god help meeeeeeeeeeeee". Thats what the thumbnail says to me anyways.
CaseyKC Tell that to the other cat they had tied up!
"He doesn't even question why he has an anvil". In the Looney Toons universe, I'm pretty sure they're issued. Baby is born? Its anvil has been delivered and placed on the doorstep.
And this is in the same universe where babies are delivered by stork. And some of those storks are drunk!
They're all provided by Acme.
@@mdalsted Marvin Acme supplies them. We all know that!
Supplied them. He supplied them. He hasn’t supplied anvils since that fateful incident in ‘47.
And yet, no blacksmiths...
The quiet "meow" from the pale Sylvester just nails it.
Very true.
And Porky just things he's wearing makeup to try and scare him. Jerk. 😅
Is that a reason why your walls in your rooms are colored like that, red and blue?
He lives in a Switch.
Spiderman designed it
@@fredarok579 that explains why I found a little camera and bed in my switch
Captain falcon owned it before him
*MURICA*
The reason why Sylvester was renamed from Thomas was because Warner Bros. didn't want to be confusing considering they and MGM already have a Tom Cat named Tom.
Felix's original name was Tom too
I didn't know that both cats are funny though.
Tom from Tom and Jerry original name was Jasper look it up from the first episode.
@@Thespeedrap Oh yeah I remember him being called Jasper, kinda like that name for him more "Jasper and Jerry" not a bad name duo if you ask me.
@@MouseGoat Jerry in the first episode was named Jinx
If I was forced to watch Teen Titans Go for four hours I would look just like Sylvester at 7:30.
Same
Same
Same
Same
i was thinking more of the lines of the jen and the holograms movie
"Damn, Porky! Hide your shame! I guess I shouldn't talk. He rarely wears pants." I laughed really hard at that remark.
😆 It's funny because it's true!
3:08
Dark Toons deserves more views!
The sylvester and porky one with the hotel was creepy too. Just seeing those eyes everywhere (nooks and crannies and the Moosehead) was really eerie, especially at the end.
As much as I like this series, I wish Doug would bring back "Was That Real?", cause there is still a ton of shows that are still remembered by some but not many people know of.
And maybe Raiders of the story arc
I had no idea he had a show like that but I had a moment or two where I questioned memories of stuff I saw as a kid. Like a Courage the Cowardly Dog episode on the scooby doo alien invaders VHS or Kablam from Nickelodeon.
Red and black really go well together
I shouldn't be laughing at this during this black lives matter but..... ROFL
Red, black and white is maybe my favorite 3 color combination
They really do people say "black goes with everything" and I completely agree but something about black and red is just utterly pleasing to the eye
Yes along with blue and magenta, yellow and blue, and red and blue.
*JESUS JUST F*ING STOP I SWEAR*
Honestly, Dark Toons is turning into one of my favorite series
Nostalgia Cwitics is the Cwaziest people.
HUHUHUHUHUH
Funnily enough, this is one dark toon I've actually seen. It's a really good one, but still fairly suitable for kids.
5:14 Actually nice detail with how Porky unloads it. Cylinder out, barrel pointed away from either of them. He clearly has some familiarity with gun safety.
All those times hearing about Daffy getting shot made him smarter
I think Looney Tunes should do a version of The Wicker Man starring Sylvester, with Porky as the villain Lord Porkysle.
"Sylvester: Oh, No! Not the Tweety Birds! Not the Tweety Birds! Ahhhhhhh oh, they're in my eyes!"
Find a way to include Speedy Gonzales, and this parody could be even better!
@@IdeaBox-dk5vj Sylvester in a Speedy Gonzalez suit instead of the bear suit.
You are a sad strange little man, and you have my puttie...I mean pity.
4:15
“Red’s a color of danger...”
But your office wall is red... ... what happens in your office Doug...?
For me the most alarming shot is when Porky's tied up with that sign saying "you were right"--wow! I also love that tilted angle when he's covered in flour or whatever and he's staring at the camera! That genuinely is really creepy!
I never got the punchline until now.
"The Case of the Stuttering Pig" is a really dark toon, and with a good dry wit and beautiful animation as we've come to expect from Frank Tashlin 🙃
Tiny Toon Adventures "Horror on Slumber Party Mountain." A slasher parody with Elmira as Elvira.
That and Acme acre zone!!!
"The Mistress who's a dork!" 😆
That wasn't dark. It was just boring.
@@Silverstar_ I don't know. As a kid I always thought the monster, One-eyed Jack, was a bit creepy. Kind of reminds me of how they depict a wendigo.
How about "Going places" the episode that made me commit to vegetarianism.
"Damn Porky,,hide your shame!" That line cracks me up.😆
I'm glad he introduced us to Lou Lehr, for a long time I thought the mouse was doing Jerry Colonna (also a radio personality and voice actor with a mustache and a very distinct voice). Clearly, I was wrong Doug thank you.

Invader Zim "Dark Harvest"
My Life as a teenage robot "Return of Raggedy Android"
My Life as a teenage robot "Puppet Bride:
Man I do remember as a kid that death march was unsettling a bit. I always loved the bit with Sylvester just white as a ghost. 🤣
it's a nice change to see you reviewing something that you really like and praising the little details that most people miss. Great video.
Thomas the train: The sad story of Henry. Trust me this is a very disturbing episode mostly for the end.
Something I loved about a lot of Thomas episodes is that they had a sense of peril or unease to them. Duncan Gets Spooked is still one that sticks with me.
Is that when they brick the train up in the tunnel?
@@M_Alexander yeah

4:56 And for his neutral special, Sylvester wields a gun.
“Nasty Patty” or “Graveyard Shift” from spongebob. I think you’ll appreciate the dark lighting in those episodes.
He better do sponge bob
Oh my gosh, I remember watching this cartoon when I was little. Had a bunch of Looney Tunes recorded on VHS, with this being one of them. Ah, the memories. We don't get cartoons like this nowadays.
Honestly this dark toons series is my favourite thing ever. The detail you go into is amazing, it would totally go over my head. Never stop!

Sylvester was going crazy. And of course he made effective use of a firearm.
Actually it was Porky who did that. See how he unloads the weapon with the barrel pointed away from both of them? He at least knows some of the basic safety rules.
"Hey Porky hide your shamee"
This comment killed me 🤣😂
I love all the dark, horror themed Looney tunes shorts. I wish I could find a collection of just all the horror shorts
This cartoon creeped me out as a kid, but as an adult I am able to appreciate it better and find it really funny as well.
I used to have a DVD that included this short, I remember watching this short all the time and laughing really hard at it. I’m getting so much nostalgia watching this.
Chuck Jones made some of the greatest Looney Tunes episodes like this & “What’s Opera Doc?”. His animation is so lovely and expressionist. This episode is probably the most messed up outside of the “Jekyll and Hyde” spoofs
"Dark Toons" recommendation?
Three words: "Swing You Sinners".
This series has given me so much nostalgia I grew up watching almost every one of these episodes and had nearly forgotten them until recently
Doug really knows his stuff when he talks about the animation! I met him once at a Comic-Con and he was really nice. It would be so fun to hang out with him. I feel like we get on like a house on fire! We both love animation!
Points out red is a color for danger while sitting and talking in a red room.
Strangely enough, I just watched this cartoon yesterday on HBO Max.
Thanks Doug, this is one of my all-time favorites for Sylvester. The proofs in the pudding that non verbal characters can emote so much if well animated
the amount of detail that went into this episode of loony toons is really good I love dark cartoons they are amazing and will always be amazing
I remember watching this on a vhs cartoon collection as a kid and after many years the only thing i remember is the ending where sylvester is carrying porky out and hes just singing "where the deer and antelope plaaaay"
There were multiple Porky-Sylvester cartoons. One ended like that, not the death cult one.
this one is actually called "claws for alarm". it's one out of the three shorts made with Porky & Sylvester on spooky places
That was a different haunted hotel one, but I remember exactly what you are talking about lol
8:01
"How would you like to wake up and see that staring at you?"
No way, man! 🤣🤣
Thanks Doug, I'm glad you highlighted these 3 cartoons, they cracked me up as a kid and it was the only times where I did feel bad for Sylvester and wanted to smack Porky lol :)

Another creepy Chuck Jones moment, there.
*THAT ONE!!!!*
That I remember watching!
And I loved the part where by morning Sylvester whacks Porky’s Head and Porky was all “and then deer and the antelope pl pl pl” repeatedly after that hit on the head
Cracks me up
Oh wait, this ain’t the Dry Gulch Hotel,
Crap.
Look up Powerpuff Girls episode "Speed Demon"
Thank you for clearing up the end part, I never knew who it was they were referring to
Dang, I immediately recognized the episode as this was one of the looney tunes I watched as a little kid. I never knew this was from the 40s!
The Cobweb Hotel (1936) is one of my favorite cartoons. I watched it as a kid a million times and it always made me so uncomfortable but I couldn't help but love it, and it still has the same effect on me today.
Oh please do the Looney Tunes short "Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers." My friend just introduced it to me and it is WILD!
Scardey Cat was one of my FAVORITES!! The mice covered in the sheet ALWAYS freaked me out as a kid and still stays with me.
I remember this when I was a kid as a Halloween special
Oh my god!! I remember watching this on TV when I was a kid and I have always remembered it but was never able to find it again! I’m so happy you have reintroduced this to me after all these years! Thank you!
“You don’t want to see a cat’s head lopped off in a looney tunes cartoon.” Doug, yes. Yes we do.
For some reason, I remember watching this cartoon a few years ago and wishing "MLP" would do an homage to it...
This was awesome & thanks for that last part! I have always wondered who that was. Same with Bugs Bunny when he was impersonating a snorting old man in a wheelchair saying, "Ladies & gentleman of the jury... you can't send this young man... to prison!" If anyone knows, I'd *greatly* appreciate it.
He's impersonating Lionel Barrymore.

I even knew that something was cut, because I vaguely remember seeing the scene uncut when I first saw this short--although I was too young to remember the suicide sequence.
In addition, I believe they also used to cut out the scene where a hooded mouse attempted to shoot Porky with a gun while he held an unconscious Sylvester in his arms.
Doug should definitely do Invader Zim's "Dark Harvest", even if he hasn't seen the whole show that episode is definitely iconic for what it got away with.
It's funny how great a recommendation this is right now. S1 eps4 titles: Germs/Dark Harvest.
Jeffrey Weber also doug Little bit more info of zim becouse unlike courge which don,t need that mush backstory
Zim one Weird backstory is was creator by guy who wrote comic about serial killer this is like garth ennis make children cartoon or mark millar make one or Frank Miller oh shit he made one and not thing i would say is it

I always wondered what that was in reference to. Thanks for explaining it!
The mice probably forced him to see Two Girls, One Cup
When Sylvester meowed after Porky saw him after whatever happened in that room or wherever, I thought the mice either _lobotomized_ him or administered some kind of _electroconvulsive torture_ to him. I'm so used to hearing him talk that I thought him meowing was supposed to be a sign that he was _brain damaged_ or something. Granted in this cartoon, he didn't talk prior to the torture, but he didn't act any different than usual apart from being scared of the house.
@@rogue7723 I always thought he saw a death ritual in action. Perhaps they were trying to convert him?
@@soulhunter59 That makes sense. Maybe the mice thought having a cat in their cult would make other mice leave them alone.
"forced him to see (that video). . ."
It would make him puke everywhere, but not sure why it would turn him white from fear. . .
@@Femaiden Or maybe the mice forced man to watch a really bad movie like Jack and Jill or Son Of The Mask.🤣🤣🤣.
I've been watching looney Toons since I can remember. I thought I figured out all the celeb references, but I never knew where the "craziest peoples" line came from.
You learn something new everyday. :D
*Tunes.
I'd love to see you do a Gravity Falls episode. A bunch could work but 'Northwest Mansion Mystery ' and 'Sock Opera' are probably the darkest when it comes to full episodes. The Weirdmageddon episodes are probably too long to do in this format style.
Gravity Falls isn't really a show for little kids, though.
Thank you for finally explaining that final joke. I never understood that as a kid.
I don't think any of us kids understood that joke as a kid--that it was a reference to an old actor at the time known for that look and catchphrase "Monkeys is the cwaziest people!" All I knew was that this reference showed up in quite a few Looney Tunes shorts.
White Sylvester is my sleep paralysis demon.
OH MY GOD I LOVED THIS ONE WHEN I WAS LITTLE!!!! I loved the leprechaun one too, which I found a bit frightening. I enjoyed the darkest ones.
The amazing world of gumball episode “the joy”
I personally think the second short of the "Spooky Porky and Sylvester" trilogy, "Claws for Alarm" is the creepiest and scariest
How about the Porky toon "Wearin' of the Grin" next? It ties into Doug's scariest movie moment.
I love that short! It has one of my absolute favorite lines in it too. "Now isn't this sight enough to set the heart crossways in ye?"
The fist Looney Tunes cartoon that scared me
My mom was always a huge Looney Toons fan, and I remember watching this toon with her when I was seven...always recognized that it was a little darker and scarier than most episodes, but it was still one of my favorites, and it remains so to this day.
NC: what did they show him
Me: food fight and rapsittie street kids and son of the mask
I'd love to see "Three little Bops" again. That was always one of my favorite cartoons and I can never find it. It is about the three little pigs in a jazz band, and the wolf is trying to join the group. The music in it is great.
It's on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVD--Volume 2--disc 4.
"The Big Bad Wolf has learned the rule - you gotta get hot to play real cool."
Could there be a Nostalgia Critic of The Lion King (2019)?
Yes, there should be. As well as an "Old vs. New" of Disney's Peter Pan against the british non-Disney live-action Peter Pan from 2003.
And a "Dark Toons" about the episode of "Legend of the Three Caballeros" episode "Mount Fuji Whiz" where Donald Duck and friends die, go to the Underworld for real and must escape back to the world of the living. Really dark and trippy for a Donald cartoon.
Nobody cares about the live-action Lion King anymore. That movie's 15 minutes are up, and every reviewer (Doug included) has already weighed in on that. That corpse has been picked clean.
Lol I remember this episode. Sylvester was treated more like a pet, where he doesn't speak. Rather then have him speak like he does other episodes.
Is Doug implying he is in perpetual danger whenever he edits his videos from home?
I’ve been waiting for this one! I saw this cartoon on youtube when I was younger and it thoroughly creeped me out then and now.
Again, do "Peace on Earth". That's a great one.
I really love this series! :D I hope you're able to find more and more films to cover, to keep it going! - This one here, we had on VHS growing up. This was extra fun for me :D Thanks, Critic!
I like Sylvester cartoons when he's owned by characters other than Granny.
We use "Yellow dog of a cowardly cat" all the time at our house. My brother loves that line. It almost always makes him laugh.
"The Mask" courage the cowardly dog
Thank you for answering the question about that character the mouse was portraying at the end! I never knew for the longest time and no one could ever tell me either!
Last time I was this early....actually no I’m not doing one of those comments I’m just gonna say this is a good video
Why are we here, just to comment?
I remember this one!!
The Looney Toon that scared me the most (and still gets me) is one where Daffy kept turning psychotic and attacking Porky. He would ruffle his hair and develop sharp teeth!!
"The Prize Pest" Daffy wasn't actually psychotic, he was just trolling Porky so that he would be treated properly.
I got one for ya... “The Adventures of Mark Twain” claymation
This was the first one on the Bugs Bunny Howl-O-Ween Special that we watched EVERY Halloween morning when I was a kid and that I continue to watch now while eating the traditional Monster's Eyeball breakfast! I love this cartoon!!!
