Could there be a Nostalgia Critic of The Lion King (2019)?
PLEASE do Disney’s “Education for Death”!
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:

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.
The looney tunes cartoon “invasion of the bunny snatchers”
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.
"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...
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. 😅
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!
"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
"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...
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
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*
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.
Dark Toons deserves more views!
Honestly, Dark Toons is turning into one of my favorite series
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.
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.
Nostalgia Cwitics is the Cwaziest people.
HUHUHUHUHUH
I never got the punchline until now.
Funnily enough, this is one dark toon I've actually seen. It's a really good one, but still fairly suitable for kids.
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.
"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.
3:08
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!
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. 🤣
"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.
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
10:00, More than 20 fucking years, 20 fucking years to finally know that reference, Thank you Dough.
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.
Yes! That is such a disturbing cartoon!
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.
Invader Zim "Dark Harvest"
My Life as a teenage robot "Return of Raggedy Android"
My Life as a teenage robot "Puppet Bride:
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'
That "ghost" scene was my favorite part as a kid too!
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.
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.
“Nasty Patty” or “Graveyard Shift” from spongebob. I think you’ll appreciate the dark lighting in those episodes.
He better do sponge bob
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.
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.
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?
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.
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!”
👁👁
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.
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
4:56 And for his neutral special, Sylvester wields a gun.
This was one of my favourites growing up. Me and my brothers used to have the Looney Tunes box set and we used to love this one
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
*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.
"Dark Toons" recommendation?
Three words: "Swing You Sinners".
Oh please do the Looney Tunes short "Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers." My friend just introduced it to me and it is WILD!
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.
Look up Powerpuff Girls episode "Speed Demon"
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!
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
How about "The Hypochondri-Cat"?
Another creepy Chuck Jones moment, there.
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.
I love all the dark, horror themed Looney tunes shorts. I wish I could find a collection of just all the horror shorts
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!
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.
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 remember this when I was a kid as a Halloween special
that "cwaziest people" gag has been used even in South Park when they made a homage to Looney Tunes in the Osama bin laden episode on season 5
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.
White Sylvester is my sleep paralysis demon.
The amazing world of gumball episode “the joy”
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.
l remember all of this three cartoons, my fav was the one where of the haunting house, specially the part where Sylvester sees a ghost coming to him through the starirs, l remember the mursic acompaning the moves of the ghost, it was so hilarious XD
That part was my favorite too!
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
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!
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)
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.
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.
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
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 :)
Thank you for clearing up the end part, I never knew who it was they were referring to
In my perspective I had no idea that Sylvester originally named Thomas. Because you wouldn’t wanna confuse this Thomas with another. You know, the Tank Engine?
Tweety and Sylvester "Hyde and Go Tweet"
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
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.
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
"The Mask" courage the cowardly dog
I like Sylvester cartoons when he's owned by characters other than Granny.
Oh! Just remembered one that might be good to examine. Not particularly funny, but that Powerpuff Girl's Episode where the girls somehow travel to future where they've been gone for years. Basically the whole world has turned to hell, and it's quite literal. Quite a lot scary imagery of I recall.
There's a Bugs Bunny cartoon called "Transylvania 65000" which I loved as a kid. Bugs is completely oblivious that a vampire wants to eat him.
Is Doug implying he is in perpetual danger whenever he edits his videos from home?
“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...
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!
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.
I got one for ya... “The Adventures of Mark Twain” claymation
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.
The Purple Smurf episode of The Smurfs, it’s a horrible zombie apocalypse on a kids show, that scared the snot out of me when I watched it.
I remember that one....that was a CREEPY episode in the Smurfs...perhaps the creepiest, despite the use of black magic throughout the cartoon series.
Hey Arnold: "Haunted Train" & "Ghost Bride"
Again, do "Peace on Earth". That's a great one.
Thank you for solving my lifelong mystery of the Looney Tunes reference I never got.
Even though the Brave Little Toaster was a movie, I think you should cover the scene where the pawn shop/hardware store owner takes apart the blender and the other horrified appliances are left looking at that wire dripping with oil. That was akin to seeing a murdered corpse with its heart taken out.
NC: what did they show him
Me: food fight and rapsittie street kids and son of the mask
Has Doug seen the cartoon where donald is a nazi?
He's referenced it several times in his reviews, so I'm guessing he'll get to it eventually.
Better that than "Education for Death", which is also an anti-Nazi political commentary 'toon but without the comedic aspects or "Oh, thank God it was just a dream" end that "In the Fuehrer's Face" had. An entirely different kind of dark 'toon.
Its more satire then dark
he was a forced laborer in a nazi death camp
@@The_Str4nger No he wasn't. Conditions in nazi Germany during the war were horrible for the average german worker. I remember hearing how children got to eat normal bread and adults eating bread made out of sawdust.
I love this series so much Mr critic, thanks for your work!
I personally think the second short of the "Spooky Porky and Sylvester" trilogy, "Claws for Alarm" is the creepiest and scariest
Porky said "harmless bat" and NC didn't make a C-19 joke, wonder if that was the high road or a missed shot.
The darkest toon is Goffy’s Trial for me..
“MURDER I LOVE MURDER I’LL FHYUCKING DO IT AGAIN”
I actually never knew or realized that this was the first short in which Sylvester is actually called by his name. I guess we all just took for granted that his name was Sylvester--with the exception of "Tweetie Pie" in which he's called Thomas, that I never realized that this was the first short where we actually hear his name. Multiple times too.
