Capitol Critters full episode 3 the Rat to Bear Arms [good quality enhanced video]

[@lylack1]

6:47 Damn this cartoon was brutal. God I miss 80s and 90s cartoons.

[@Johnlindsey289]

Oh there is some gems today in cartoons

[@BokanProductions]

@@Johnlindsey289 Yeah but PC folks would probably have a field day with this.

Fuck woke and those liberals

"Okay, waste the sucker." lol that was gold

[@gugurupurasudaikirai7620]

Jammet's not necessarily wrong. That orange cat is a menace. The attack plan was questionable though. The gunshot would definitely wake the Dan Quayle cat and even though he seems harmless the mice would be sitting ducks after the first shot. Also why does Jammet have a book called Cycle Sluts? 20:49

[@eternald6708]

I believe Max was in the wrong here. Jammit wanted justice for Felix, and while he didn't go about it in any practical way, give a mouse a gun, watch the power go to his head; it still was for the purpose of avenging a friend against a killing machine. While not all cats are cruel, as seen with VP cat, who albeit briefly, has exchanged dialogue with the mice, the larger cat is just a monster in the way he's presented. There's nothing to indicate that there would have been "a bigger cat" to take its place either, as humans wouldn't perceive "mice with a gun" as a plausible means to the cat's demise. The roaches were also kinda backwards in their logic about this as well, so what if Jammit has a gun? It's not like he can go around brandishing it and shooting things up without a team to literally mobilize it. I get the episode was centered around gun violence, from all the propaganda of arms deals, and violence among nations. Even still, the entire episode felt very pushed, in it's delivery, even if the message was a well meaning one. It seems to have brought everyone down a mental notch or two, so as to create complications where the characters normally wouldn't have any.

[@angelodias7720]

I'm from Brazil and I watched this show as a kid. I remember how sorry I felt for Felix. That was the firrst time in my life I felt sad after watching a cartoon.

[@smallzabe]

I cried for hours as a child and now 30 years later i still remember the line "hes dead already"

[@ImpetuouslyInsane]

That was the same thing Scotty said to Kirk when Spock sacrificed himself to get the Enterprise's engine back online. He was irradiated and dying in the main power conduit.

[@FeedMeMedia]

this was supposed to compete with the Simpsons...perspective.

[@dlxmarks]

There was a slew of animated shows that came out at the time. All of them were promoted along the lines of "If you like _The Simpsons,_ then you'll love XYZ." All were badly written and all were canceled.

[@darkb4light06]

I remembered this episode and have looked all over for it. Thank you for having it!

[@NSHG]

If it wasn't for Steven Bochco and TCFTV's logos ending this show, I'd have literally said this is surprisingly dark for something that also has Hanna-Barbera's name on it. And yes, I know they've done dark stuff as well.

[@strider4life696]

"Okay. Waste the sucker." lol

[@xcmet]

8:19 wow..that really hits you in the feels if you ever lost someone that got taken.

[@dlxmarks]

This show just reeked of network interference. ABC exec: "I want to call it _Capitol Critters_ because the word 'critters' tests well with morons." Writer: "OK, but the Capitol is the building where Congress meets and the show takes place almost entirely in the White House. Did you mean Capital?" ABC exec: "And I want non-stop cartoony voices and cartoony physical gags." Writer: "We're trying for political and social satire." ABC exec: "You're fired."

[@mephisto9632]

20:40 Oh shit... They ran into Dick Cheney? That cannot be good. (BTW, Cheney was Secretary of Defense when this episode came out)

[@VeganPopTarts]

Thanks for pointing that out! Yeah I wasn't a fan of the guy during the Bush Administration lol.

[@darkb4light06]

Something so beautiful about NPH being the voice of reason. ❤️❤️❤️

[@BillZomono23]

This was the one episode I saw years ago. Then I saw Sabrespark mention the show.

Yeah Muggle is basically a prototype Pinky.

[@Oni_Manga_Land]

The tone is all over the place.

[@dlxmarks]

I can see why this show failed to connect with an audience. The network execs were probably sending notes like "It's a cartoon, make it more cartoony. More funny voices. More characters jumping up and down hysterically."

[@mikeg2491]

@@dlxmarksit’s way too toony for adults and too dark and scary for kids. It’s fascinating to watch as a time capsule but I know if it was me back then I’d turned it off too.

[@razzmicberry4793]

YEAH BUT WE'RE MICE WITH A GUN

[@ImpetuouslyInsane]

*_Max and Jammit walking through Men's Room under urinals_* Jammit: Secret Service Agents Max: How can you tell? Jammit: Normal people don't aim that good.

[@huntercoleman460]

How does he know how normal people aim? Jammit definitely is hiding some information about himself.

[@huntercoleman460]

Max would feel guilty in a later episode about hurting the Presidential Cat because he thought he killed him. Max that cat just ate a rat and you feel guilty about killing it? You’re a mouse what do you think cats eat?

[@aceous99]

why did he make fun of felix at the end? I'm so confused....

[@lorrainer.2556]

aceous99 he didnt i think those were his last words

Me too

[@animemangafan1987]

Using a gun for revenge against someone who took your loved ones away wasn't the answer. Gun control still sucks including today and gun violence are still rising into a living hell

[@ZOWorldd.c88]

I remember this cartoon it was my shit 👍😀

[@garethdean6382]

So guns are... bad?

[@VeganPopTarts]

Gareth Dean To me, they are just neutral objects & it depends on who is pulling the trigger and for what reason. This cartoon would be banned today because it's a "children's" cartoon and people would think that it would encourage school shootings or something. O.o

[@garethdean6382]

Vegan Pop Tarts imagine it would also immediately cause a massive flamewar internet-wide as various parties denounced it as pro-gun, anti-gun, communist and \or anti-business. Frankly, the gun would have solved their problems. They should have shot the cat. his isn't some misprofiled teen here, that's a feral tiger that does nothing but murder.

[@VeganPopTarts]

Gareth Dean Internet flame wars are stupid. I can see people getting into one just because I posted this video. They get butthurt over the most inane things. Yeah, the gun would have been a quick fix to their problem unless they could make some kind of contraption that would capture the cat, but they might end up killing it after that, so idk.

[@garethdean6382]

Vegan Pop Tarts That cat isn't going for capture. The other cat is all cool, but that one is a monster.

[@VeganPopTarts]

Maybe he should just eat Jammet and then as a result, get sick because he had an STD. They're both jerks.

[@johnnycats5157]

American TV at its finest. Pure garbage.

[@VeganPopTarts]

It's exactly like your attitude? 😂
