"I'll steal it! No one will ever know!!" he yelled. Loudly. Right outside of a bar with only a swinging door to block his voice.

I think you're under the assumption that they meant for that to be a joke. I don't know if they did or not really. If they did, they're fucking geniuses.
Well, it's apparently a parody so this may just be making fun of the source.
Yes I too generally screech about the felonies I am about to commit before doing so.
::Cue Roundabout & the To Be Continued sign::
Man, Dan Backslide has the highest tolerance of alcohol I've ever seen. All those shots and all he got out of them was a single hiccup. Damn.
+Mark Maker It was a different time back then... XD
He's blue for a reason.
Confound him! Hahahaha.
He aint a bitch
15 shots in a little under 4 seconds. Pretty impressive.
So not only is Dora a strong female character, but you also expect me to believe she invented the dab? No one is _that_ perfect.
SHE DEADASS DABBED ON ‘EM, THE MADMAN

I wish they made more cartoons with Dan Backslide
Tadicuslegion78 is that what he’s called? I just know as StrangerAtaru’s face on Deviantart
Tadicuslegion78 I'm on your side, I also wish for that 2. I mean Backslide should've also appeared in The Bugs Bunny Show (In the opening theme song only), The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie, Bugs Bunny's 3rd Movie: 1001 Rabbit Tales, Daffy Duck's Fantastic Island, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Daffy Duck's Quackbusters, Tiny Toon Adventures, Taz-Mania, Animaniacs, The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries, Pinky and the Brain, Freakazoid!, Space Jam, Histeria!, Detention, Tweety's High-Flying Adventure, Duck Dodgers, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Loonatics Unleashed (As a descendant villain), Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas, The Looney Tunes Show, Wabbit & Looney Tunes: Rabbit Run.
@@classicretrocartoonnetwork7789 they should've
Well if I only build a time machine, So I could go back in time and wish for it to happened.
They need to also have it to where each frame can be a meme like in this. If you go by frame by frame with a scene he’s in you’ll find gold
Despite any supposed memes, this is honestly pretty funny and well made.
+holybutternutsquash Indeed - it's always been a firm favourite of mine well before the memes. Before the internet even!
+holybutternutsquash "Despite?"
Specially since its over half a century old
It's older than most people and is still good now that's scientifically measureable QUALITY.
I don't understand the mentality some people have that if something's old then it's no good. I know of some people who won't watch black and white films just because they're black and white.
I remember as a kid I laughed so hard cause I couldn't understand why Dan Backslide kept yelling every time he spoke lol
That's the beauty of cartoons like this. They can make references or mock cliches, and people will still laugh even if they get or don't get the reference.

Even though it was essentially a shitpost from the 40s, there was still a lot of great animation and comedy bits.

Something that is presented with the intention of getting people to chew you out.
***** oh. I see now But how was this a shitpost?
***** oh I see. Well this was indeed clever to stick it to them
The animation looks fine imo, but not according to the warner bros execs. the extensive use of limited animation and drybrush smears led the higher ups to attempting to firing Chuck Jones. The WWII labor shortages forced them to keep him, though. Imagine that, WB without Chuck Jones. That means "duck season, wabbit season" wouldn't exist, nor would marvin the martian, wile e. coyote and the road runner...

That's the point. Chuck wanted everyone in the cartoon to look like a complete idiot
Pokemario Fan Actually, its more that he wanted to mock tropes-Especially the villain constantly vocalizing about what he's doing. This is a parody of the Rover Boys, and the villains in that would be...not too subtle.
Yeah, exactly
Car thieves have certainly come a long way since then.
This is like the cartoon version of a shitpost.

5:26 - Even Dan Backslide knows that you have to save the environment. He could've just tossed that tree away, but no! He did the responsible thing and planted it back again. Good man.
He may be a cowardly cad and thief, but one thing he isn't is ignorant to his environment.
A sharp contrast between him and Donald Trump.
Wait, is that why he's green?
@@someman66 Which means he has two green thumbs!
If they ever make a GTA-style game set at the turn of the century (Red Dead doesn't count, those are firmly the Westerns genre), they had better have an achievement called "NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW" earned by very publicly stealing a car.

That moment when a cartoon from 1942 has smoother animation than most cartoons in 2016.
+Ucro Havoc That's probably the result of them sinking huge amounts of money and time into these old WB cartoons. A majority of the cartoons being made these days are meant to be aired on television under a much shorter deadline and tighter budget, for the most part.
+derpsire53 The Paramount/Max Fleischer SUPERMAN series was much the same way. Each episode cost somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 to 75 large, if not more. Theatrical animation at all the big studios did not come cheap.
The worst part is, this was made just to piss of WB employees.
The reason for that is that cartoons today are part of a scheduled program and are constantly pressed for time on their episodes. Early looney tunes were just recreational animation projects made just for fun.
The reason it has smooth animation is because they blurred the actions of the characters and made them fast so they could save time and money
AN OLD MEME!
I'LL REUSE IT!

holy shit they had quite the sense of humor in the 1940s
It was meant to be one big anti-joke but it's aged fantastically
@@Rezzo64 What do you mean by anti-joke?
@@Rezzo64 Yeah what do you mean anti joke?
Rezzo64 I wouldn't classify it as an anti joke, it falls more closely under satire.
Not the short itself, but the way that it was written. Chuck Jones directed this short intending to annoy the executives at Warner Bros. He didn't like using human protagonists in his shorts.
Dora Standpipe: strong independent female character with like five boyfriends in 1942
Kyra Cook More exactly,4 boyfriends and a kidnapper.
Kyra Cook Actually from this also seems to be the 1890’s (after all this is a parody of a book series from that era)
As well as able to beat one of them to a bloody pulp.
they all end up getting cucked by an old drunk
and a killer dab
Dang, Dainty Dora is the best. With her three boyfriends, rich daddy and super human strength its no wonder she barely give a fuck.
And now with only a homeless boyfriend, her father's money, and superhuman strength.

And no one ever did.
For anyone wondering, the Flag Semaphore at 7:02 actually spells out "H E L P | D O R A | I N | D A N G E R | H U T A | S U T |"
I don't know what HUTA SUT is, but there was a song called "The Hut Sut Song" which came out in 1941. Interesting.
I'm guessing "SUT" means "Send using Telegram" because the other scout runs a couple of feet away and starts doing that right away. :D
No idea what HUTA means. The answer might be in an old Boy Scout handbook.
Wow amazing how they researched about it just to make a small scene in a cartoon that was intended to be just silly
No need to research it back then, it'd have been a part of the youth, just like the boys series books this cartoon parodies.

What's wrong with playing hide and seek?
I think it is because this cartoon is for kids
Because everyone else was fighting nazis while they stayed home
You know how we always make fun of the trends and culture our parents grew up with in the 70s? Well in the 40s they always made fun of the trends and culture their parents grew up with in the Edwardian era.
Suddenly, and without warning, the words "Hark! The Dover boys." floated out from a smoke clouded pool table in the deep recesses of my conciousness. I cannot believe I still remembered the exact wording and scene that line was from in a cartoon I may have only watched a handful of times nearly two decades ago.
2:40
I can't believe dabbing was a thing in the 1940s.
this cartoon from the 1940s still manages to be funny 76 years later
A lot has been written about Chuck's use of highly stylized, limited animation on this groundbreaking cartoon, but nothing has been said concerning WHY he did it like this. This is my guess: Chuck wanted to emulate a silent movie being projected at the wrong speed. Allow me to elaborate. Silent film speed is 16 frames per second, sound speed is 24. After the advent of sound, if you wanted to see a silent movie (in a revival house or on TV), you'd see it at 24 fps, making the characters skitter around all herky-jerky, EXACTLY AS THEY ARE IN THIS CARTOON. Only since the '60's was anything done to correct this problem. Add to this the corny, melodramatic storyline, a favorite of early silents like 'The Perils of Pauline', and you have a recipe for satire, both visual and verbal.
In closing, I think that on a day in 1942, Chuck Jones said, "A cartoon! I'll stylize it!! AND NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!!!!
I've always liked his limited animation style. It's only recently I've begun to appreciate the work more. The character behind the animation style just fits along with the story going on so well(say in Dover Boys). I couldn't imagine (nor would i want to watch) a fully animated Dover Boys. Just wouldnt be as funny.
I always thought the reason why he animated the short the way he did was to basically take the piss out of the Hardy Boys.
You would expect the boys to have personality besides "being the good guys." You would expect the actions to be more fluid. He's making fun of how stock they are - and what better way to communicate the blandness of young adult novels than to deliberately half-ass a cartoon?
He also makes the expressions funny and lively in each pose so you don't really feel "stiffness"
Limited animation became a necessity when TV came along due to the speed at which programs had to be made for very little money. Chuck Jones himself even said something like that... Or maybe it was Mel Blanc. Well, either way it's true.
Dan Backslide did nothing wrong.
+Mitchell T He sure as hell tried
+Mitchell T well he did steal a car... but NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW.

The motion-blur frames are the BEST.
Sapphire Crook Can you believe Chuck Jones got fired for this cartoon? It wasn't offensive or rude or anything, just different. Fortunately, the firing didn't take, so he continued working at Warner Bros until he actually was fired for moonlighting on this animated cat movie called "Gay Purr-ee". Of course, by then, animated theatrical shorts were waning in popularity due to television.
And theatrical shorts now release before animated movies.
I never understood whether or not this was supposed to be a parody of some kind of novella or writing stereotyping if some sort.

This 'toon was obviously made as a middle finger to Jones's bosses at WB. They were squeezing him on help b/c of the War, were trying to get everything done on the cheap, and had even criticized him for being in a rut creatively, so he came up with this crap. It was supposed to demonstrate a technically new, less labor-intensive animation technique, but failed utterly because of the low quality it displayed in storyboarding, in its (pun-laden) writing, characterization, and in other departments. Mel Blanc was certainly Jones's co-conspirator -- you can tell by his inappropriately loud and overacted dialogue performance, never repeated elsewhere, over which he had total control per contract, such that he could have had it re-written and/or re-recorded if he'd wanted to. The whole piece was "inspired" by a sappy and now long-forgotten kid's book series from the turn of the last century called The Rover Boys; half-forgotten even in 1942, it had no chance to resonate with a mass audience -- and predictably didn't. Jones basically threw away the entire budget he'd been given to work with, and was rightly almost canned for the insubordination and lack of professionalism he displayed. Likely the only reason Jack Warner didn't fire him outright was fear of the competitive consequences if Jones went somewhere else.
Robert Haworth and now it's a meme

Are you confusing the 40s with the 70s?
Yeah it seems like animation goes horrible every few years. 30s just okay, 40s great, 50s, good, 60s kinda cheap, 70s worst, 80s kinda okay, 90s okayer, 00s better, 10s good i guess

I swear to tits I've watched this cartoon so many times and it has never gotten old. Such a masterpiece, from start to finish. Everything about it, the animation, the pure absurdity of its plot, characters, and humour, and even the voice acting. I would go as far to say that Dan Backslide is the best one-off character that Mel Blanc has ever done.
Tonight on Marvel's Agent Carter, they had a scene showing an old B&W film reel. It was THIS film, which was made within the same time frame but before the events of Carter. The part we saw is around the 5:50 mark. I remember seeing this on an old VHS that had a collection of old WB cartoons YEARS ago.
LMAO! You had to see it too?
That was an awesome twist on the damsel in distress. That's the one thing I hate about classic movies. The damsel always stands around screaming her fool head off until the villain either knocks her out or puts her out of her misery. I spend the whole time thinking, "do something... anything!"
