Private Snafu Presents "Seaman Tarfu in the Navy" (1946)

[@GabrielWilsonCollins]

I like this one. The Army was making fun of Navy yet, you could tell they also respected the Navy as well...

[@weeweesuperbooster]

It’s almost like it’s a cartoon

[@CaptainChelo]

@@yellowbird5 What about marines? Can we make fun of them?

[@CaptainChelo]

@@yellowbird5 Dang it, does that mean that I need to enlist to make jokes about marines munching crayons?

[@CaptainChelo]

@@yellowbird5 I'm fully aware of it, thou I'm not from the US I wouldn't joke for real at any military branch. I just enjoy the casual jabs throw for fun rather than diss on someone.

[@Klaaism]

@@CaptainChelo Yup

[@ToozdaysChild]

Okay, I'll admit it. "Piping the Admiral aboard" slew me.

[@madcat789]

I like how even though this was made after the war, they still poke fun at the IJN.

Had to rub their faces in it

They were still fighting them in 1946

[@GF-nm1cl]

​@@geocachingwomblefor the sake of debate, by July of 1945, every ship in their entire Navy except one had been sunk.

Loved the "Cuffs match the collar" remark and just as it's said there goes the dame. I can only imagine the roars of hilarity when sailors heard THAT one

[@magmat0585]

didn't catch that the first time around

[@taliaferro2302]

Is the dog supposed to actually be a metaphor for a sailor that bitches a lot? Cause that reminds me of more than one guy I served with. Or maybe sometimes a dog is just a dog.

[@Klaaism]

The captain's dog

According to Wikipedia this was the only cartoon in the Pvt. Snafu series NOT produced by WB,,,

[@strategicperson95]

This one does seem to follow the formula of a typical Goofy "How To 'X'" cartoon.

[@tektoastium7241]

In The Navy Conceived Written Produced Costumed Scored Designed and Swabbed Down by *the Army*

[@Minchken]

0:52 I wonder if the navy told WB to put that woman hounding bit in order to convince the viewers that the Navy isn't gay.

[@JM-mh1pp]

Well it is a propaganda piece afterall.

[@jeffhyche9839]

Perfect. The ending made me spew my drink.

[@hi14993]

"the less said about a sailor's pants the better" seriously, who thought it would be a good idea to put that many buttons on a pair of pants?XD

[@Ken-po4yr]

Early Dr. Seuss cartoons at their finest

[@mattleinhauser9166]

I absolutely love this cartoon so good.

[@binder946]

Love these cartoon documentaries ❤️

Snafu- Situation normal all fouled up

[@chadbrown748]

Tarfu- Things are really fouled up

[@aleximalmgren5301]

This was the last snafu they ever did .

[@Rgoid]

Things Are Really Fouled Up

[@Wildman-lc3ur]

We all know that snafu means situation normal all fucked up But tarfu means Totally and royally fucked up

[@MGower4465]

I heard it as Things Are Really F**ked Up. Maybe the Royal version is used in the British Navy, since they have a predilection for royal stuff

[@Rgoid]

In the series’ case, it would be Totally And Royally Fouled Up or Things Are Really Fouled Up

[@durece100]

Music by Scott Bradley.

[@Dylan-le9zi]

I don’t think I’ve watch a video that screams louder “look we are not gay, we chase women too.”

[@florinivan6907]

'What is a sailor without a tattoo?' The good old days when only seamen and convicts had them. Sometimes overlapping.

[@TheAnchorArmsChad]

3:24 Perfect!

[@fintandeconnachta5525]

Fricken glue chugging army. Lmao

[@P7777-u7r]

I dont get the whole thing with the sailor chasing the girl popping up everywhere. I know theres some kind of period specific joke or reference there with the tune and the sailors way of walking that goes beyond just "a sailor chasing a pretty girl."

[@Envy_the_Darksider]

It's just the Army mocking the Navy. They are probably going "Hey look how thirsty the Navy boys are!"

[@MijmerMopper]

It's been a century's old wisdom that having a group of men stuck on a boat with only eachothor for compangy and then releasing them on shore somewhere for a bit with their wages knowing they will likely never see the place again.... well theres a reason the ladies of the night often set up shop within sprinting distance of the docks.

[@Klaaism]

a running gag

[@389383]

So I know what SNAFU stands for, what does TARFU mean?

[@bronysimpson3250]

[@Mu91c14n]

Imperial Japanese stereotype. This cartoon was made during WWII (World War 2) after all.
