I love the elegant simplicity of some of Looney Tunes. I have no idea who this guy is supposed to be, no idea what a cow puncher is, and then the way he's doing it doesn't seem right at all. AND THEN HE JUST BASICALLY ADMITS HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE'S DOING EITHER! And I just bust a gut at the absurdity of it all.

Watching these cartoons while growing up in the 80's and 90's I soon figured out that alot of these references were caricatures of old actors and even learned to identify who most were, but until now I didn't know who this particular caricature was. I'm glad to know now after looking up a few things about him. One thing I've always wondered about the many actor caricatures in cartoons, from the Merrie Melodies and Loony Tunes of the 40's and 50's all the way up to the portrayals of actors in the 90's with Tiny Toons and Animaniacs, how did the actors feel about the way they were portrayed? I imagine the reactions were wide and many.

It has a section that covers a lot of the major stars of the era, Catherine Hepburn, Peter Lorre, Edward G. Robinson, etc. Colonna is not specifically mentioned, unfortunately.

This isn't a full list of references to Colonna (and it goes for the rest of these 'reference' videos). Also, I was planning on it but I haven't listened to a single thing he's in so I was unsure if "I don't ask questions, I just have fun!" was something he said or even iconic enough for him to be an 100% reference.
