Beetle Bailey - Halftrack's Navy AND MORE - Episode # 2

[@dinahkyle3196]

This show always puts a big goofy smile on my face

[@wyldshot666]

Beetle: You're not stone. Artist: Never on the job.

[@EdsterIII]

That line got me. Back in the "younger days" this would have been some of my friends motto. LOL.

[@chrismayer3919]

Obviously, this episode Halftrack’s navy, had a definite SUB-plot! ☺️

[@EdsterIII]

Definitely earned a subscriber here! I love classic cartoons. I grew up in the 70's. Saturday 🌄mornings🌄 were the best times. Thanks for these brilliant cartoons.

The one who does Beetle's voice also did the voice for Jughead in the initial Archie cartoons.

[@dariowiter3078]

Yup! Howard Morris himself! Also known for being a cast member of Sid Cesar's Your Show Of Shows(1950-54) and for his role of Ernest T. Bass on The Andy Griffith Show(1960-68). 📺😁

[@paulsarnik8506]

General Halftrack too as well as Mr. Peepbles Mush Mouse and dozens more. 🤓😎✌🏻

[@paulsarnik8506]

BTW Ensign Plunger as well.🤓😎✌🏻

[@EdsterIII]

​@@dariowiter3078It's wild how some of the voice actors were in regular television shows. Mel Blanc was on the Jack Benny show and he was brilliant. I hadn't known about this until one of the digital channels in my area began showing 50's and 60's television shows. Jack Benny, George Burns and Gracie, and other classics. Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In was also one of them. Great shows from before I was born.

@@paulsarnik8506Yeah. General even has the lisp he gave Gopher (I’m not in the book) from Pooh.

In the 90s this cartoon telecasted in Sri Lanka..my childhood memories

[@Babbleplay]

Last cartoon, I had kind of guessed a fat joke at the end; I assumed Sgt Snorkel was going to save the day by eating all the cake.

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

He’d even wind up eating Archie Bunker out of house and home.

Allan Melvin and Howard Morris were great voices in this . Mort Walker should have been more involved but KFS had the rights.

[@paulsarnik8506]

Melvin and Morris are an underated cartoon voice duo. 🤓😎✌🏻

[@timothymarkin4481]

They were in The Andy Griffith Show and Magilla Gorilla together (Melvin was on AGS in a variety of roles). How many other projects were they in together?

Halftrack is a bomb!🤣

General Halftrack: What on Earth could be wrong with me?! Cuckoo clock: *Koko!* *Koko!* *Koko!* General Halftrack: When I want your opinion I'll ask for it! XD

Ready torpedoes tubes. Fire 1! Boom! Whose going to be second? (All gones)

[@LindaCooper-i3f]

Aren’t there any fans here who would like to see Beetle Bailey married to Miss Baxley, the civilian secretary of General Halftrack?

[@KrakenMan5853]

It's too bad the Fleischer Brothers, and later Famous Studios, didn't get to make more cartoons with King Features characters in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s besides Popeye. Their studio seems to be the best fit at the time for all those characters.

[@tonycanabal1659]

Old KFS characters Henry and The Little King were in Betty Boop shorts.I don't know if they were pilots for a series with them.

[@NerdyChocolateLabradoodle]

Well, at least we have the Al Brodax King Features Syndicate cartoons, which had episodes produced by Famous Studios.

[@rickyrehbein9241]

9:10 LOL!

[@nicopatrizi1953]

Anyway ZERO was a stab of Mort Walker against the policy of US Army to admit Virtually EVERYONE to active service. They never, never, never rejected "less intelligent" people into serving army. And so thousands of them met their destiny in Vietnam as cannon fodder. Not to mention the ones killed against Apaches and Sioux or in WWs. ANY European or Asian army would kick Zero out as soon he enters enrolling center. Walker had given a warning that was never understood.

[@rickyrehbein9241]

@@nicopatrizi1953 All I know is that these characters wouldn't last a second in Vietnam.

[@nicopatrizi1953]

@@rickyrehbein9241 indeed... How many REAL Americans with the intelligence of Zero died in vietnam?... Remember poor old Bubba...

I never caught this vide from the comics, but was this written by the Navy to poke fun at the Army?

[@jessewilson8676]

Reading the comic most of my life I never put that voice to him or sarg’s (16 year veteran)

[@EdsterIII]

I used to love the Sunday Comics. And the Saturday 🌄morning🌄 cartoons. For me as a kid, the weekends were pure joy. Peanuts, Beetle Bailey, Hagar The Horrible, Ziggy, The Family Circus, Garfield, and many more classics. Looking at those old comic strips as a kid, I was always wondering how they'd sound, and act in "live" motion? Bugs Bunny and the Road-Runner Show was always my favorite. But other Hanna Barbera shows are easily right up there. As are the King Features Syndicate shows. Beetle Bailey and Hagar the Horrible were two that I never got to see very much of. Too bad, I would have loved them back then. But I get to watch them now and I still really love these older cartoons.

[@davidmunson1154]

Why does the sound has that hollow quality to it?

[@CowboysNo1Fan]

Must have used too much phaser in the audio mixing

Im still reading this 🤣🙃

[@KrakenMan5853]

I find it strange to hear west coast voice talent like Howard Morris, Allen Melvin, and Paul Frees featured in cartoons made by Paramount Cartoon Studios in New York (Formerly Fleischer Brothers and Famous Studios). I would've expected to hear Jack Mercer, Jackson Beck, and Mae Questel doing the voices.

[@stephenholloway6893]

Plus June Foray in some shorts as well

[@Wendy_O._Koopa]

Beetle Bailey sounds a little like Wade Duck of Garfield and Friends fame, while General Halftrack sounds a lot like Gopher from Winnie the Pooh. If I ever meet the late Howard Morris, I'll have to ask him if he knows why that is?

[@ryandalton2834]

General Halftrack speaks like Winnie the Pooh’s Gopher

[@stephenholloway6893]

Hanna Barbera?

[@NerdyChocolateLabradoodle]

Nope. Most of the Beetle Bailey cartoons were done by Famous Studios.
