Life lesson: Don't eat at Joe's when a bear is named Joe

[@nathanbray5005]

Agreed I current agree more about that

[@bryandillon-campbell]

Good thing is only a cartoon

[@USStateOfSiberiaGHWBush1992]

Or just don't follow a bear.

[@USStateOfSiberiaGHWBush1992]

​@@bryandillon-campbellWhen I was little, I envisioned they were too big for the bear to digest and so they were just going to stay confined for the rest of their lives. And I didn't think about starvation or death of old age. So I envisioned an eternity. Although I still envisioned that they could still somehow see the outside. Since the animation of the bear could become see-through. The emotion in their eyes looked real, like they were really looking at me. My sense of imagination was so strong, it's like I was daydreaming as I watched it. I was visualizing, but it felt real when I was little. Also, I had an anxiety disorder. So it felt like my environment didn't exist, as my focus was on the cartoon. I was blinded by it, as if it were a blind obsession. I felt bad. But not awful. Just deep.

[@InYourFaceNewYorker]

The ending is classic.

[@Link-ho8yq]

The thumbnail is spoiling the entire cartoon's punchline!

Hope everyone has a great thanksgiving tomorrow 🦃🔪🍽️🍗🍖🍠🌽🥬🍞🥧🍰🍷🍾

[@Tornado1994]

I'm amazed that people don't realize that that IS Jimmy Durante.

[@culwin]

Actually, it is Daws Butler.

[@Tornado1994]

culwin Naw, its Jimmy Durante. He was on contract with MGM from 1933-1950. He appeared on Tom and Jerry's "Devil Mouse" as well. Daws Butler wasn't needed for this short. Because Durante was still under contract with MGM in 1945.

[@Tornado1994]

culwin Okay, now you're clearly trolling. Durante WAS a contract player for MGM. And was occasionally asked to guest star in animated short subjects. Also, you are erroneous. Bulter did not start working for MGM until 1947. Jerky Turkey was released in October 1945. At the time it was made in early '45, he was serving in WWII.

[@cooljackster7390]

+culwin Daws Butler arrived in the cartoon business after World War 2 and this was April 7 1945 World war 2 wasn't over yet

[@cooljackster7390]

+Tornado1994 it was released on April 7 1945 actually

[@jasonlawson6363]

1:46-1:50 A turkey doesn't sound like that, but it did work.

[@spicygolf7277]

[@bryandillon-campbell]

[@grasielasilva6399]

[@lotyde]

[@USStateOfSiberiaGHWBush1992]

I never thought about this before, but the 'Hey, TURKEYYY!!' call also sounds like it's a call to the country, Turkey.
