Super Chicken - 14-The Easter Bunny

[@kathleencummings8081]

Fred, you knew the job was dangerous when you took it!

[@garytetreault6133]

50 years and it's still funny.

[@TinyDancer500]

Voice-over artist extraordinaire Paul Frees was Fred (Super Chicken was voiced by Bill Scott).

[@motoman32]

Fred put a little salt around the rim of the glass, making a super sauce margarita. Funny stuff.

[@skrag2112]

BEST. CARTOON. THEME. SONG. EVER! This and "Underdog".

[@beatlejim64]

LOVED this show as a kid...Great stuff!!!

[@alskyviewerallen9665]

Oh yeah most definitely

[@patrick-lt2nv]

Louie the Lapin closely resembles Eggs Benedict in the "Super Chicken" pilot episode, which was made two years before this episode. Super Chicken's name was Hunt Strongbird, Jr., a play on the name of a real TV executive named Hunt Stromberg, Jr. The real person obviously didn't like that, which is why none of Jay Ward's shows were seen on CBS. ☹️🐔🐇😀

[@andyjay729]

"You don't wanna wake up with no Easter eggs, do ya?" Could that have been a double entendre?

[@TragicHero257]

Ha ha. This cartoon is hella old. Remember watching it as a kid on the Rocky and Bullwinkle show.

[@HooDatDonDar]

0:33 “ List of the worlds most beloved characters” All Jay Ward characters, lol Including Boris and Natasha, rofl

[@ForkliftJoe]

Fred: "Why don't you just use your super-vision?" Super-Chicken: "If I had supervision, do you think I'd be dressed like this?"

[@Rtkat3]

Peabody and Sherman, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Boris and Natasha, Dudley Do-Right, Hoppity Hooper, Fillmore Bear, and Professor "Uncle" Waldo Wigglesworth make cameos at the beginning of the episode. Talk about a reference to the other Jay Ward cartoons.

[@cornifron]

you forgot abbot and costello dumb and dumber etc... its divide and conquer strategy in truth in cartoons and lies in the news'

[@mightyfilm]

I love the marshmallow peeps refference. I know that Jay ward himself was a candy enthusiest (he really loved Jelly bellies.

[@LarkManEXE]

The scrawny, under-developed chicken became a scrawny, over-developed Super Chicken!

[@Parkyurkarkas]

Seeing SC and all of Jay Wards shows first as a little kid when the jokes didn't quite sink in, watching them over the years I can appreciate their genius in combining extreme whimsy with cynicism. That was Ward's gift. If you don't laugh at life you cry.

[@Quickdraw1111]

Super Chicken is greatness!! The line, "You knew the job was dangerous when you took it" is a line that Super Chicken often uses in the various episodes. I first heard that line 35-40 years ago when I was a small kid. I think of that line often and use it sometimes when joking around with others. I miss the old days of the Jay Ward cartoons (Bullwinkle, George of the Jungle, Fractured Fairy Tailes, etc).

[@Arctific]

Simply outstanding Witt both then and now.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

"Let him have it, Easter Bunny!" 😂

[@Ghostginthree]

Superchicken is a true great cartoon. Nostalgic and still a great cartoon for kids these days.

[@pozestcom]

*lmao @ 'aw shut up'* It must have been 25 years or so that I haven't seen this. I am freaking laughing my ass of here. I still dig it.

[@ernied349]

Thanks for sharing I haven't had a good laugh in many years. "Don't Shoot Mr Bunny Take The Money" LOL..

[@despondentisthmus]

For all the Jay Ward completists out there: Note the cameo by Hoppity Hooper, Waldo Wigglesworth & Fillmore Bear at the start of the episode (along with Bullwinkle, Dudley Do-Right, et. al.) Probably the only time Hoppity's ever been seen on Cartoon Network.

[@NatofDom]

his super "sauce" came from a martini glass! That's great writing! Alcohol makes you strong!

[@DarkStorm2Bad8008]

lol bunnies with guns, shop windows saying "DRUGS", a chicken drinking martinis for power - why can't cartoons get away with this stuff anymore? Super Chicken was one of my favourites!

[@jackhillty]

Fred ("i put a little salt on the rim!")would be the second gay cartoon character in history - the first of course would be Snaglepuss.("exit! stage right!")

[@racookster]

They always implied that Superchicken was hittin' the sauce. They couldn't get away with that anymore. They couldn't get away with "Mr. Terrific" getting his powers from Power Pills nowadays, either. Ralph Bakshi couldn't even get away with Mighty Mouse getting his powers by smelling a flower: Jerry Falwell insisted that it was a metaphor for snorting coke. (He also maintained that Tinky Winky, the purple Teletubby, was gay.) We have gone stone-cold f/k-nuts.

[@southparksamiam]

Terrific!! Thanks Bede for the heads up. Go Super Chicken and Jay Ward!

[@TheInappropriate1]

Thanks for sharing. I laughed so hard I cried. So many fun memories!! Still love that theme song after 40 years :)

[@citizenterryk]

does anybody else feel that the time has come for a Super Chicken revival?.....hey, they did it for George Of The Jungle, why not Super Chicken and Fred?.......

[@omagine]

i still say "you knew the job was dangerous when you took it" all the time. Most people don't get it. lol

[@affordthis]

You knew the job was dangerous when you took it! Hilarious!

[@MrBeatrixKiddo]

besides, you knew the job WAS dangerous when you took it!

[@joetube777]

GOD bless the people that made it possible for me to see super chicken the first time and now!

[@toddberner761]

Fred sounds like Jonny mac on Big brother lol!!!

[@curveballintx]

Now this is what a cartoon should be. Just silly, good old-fashioned entertainment without having to overthink anything or worry about being politically correct. God I miss the good old days

[@johnham8824]

you forgot to mention a firearm.

[@DaveWollenberg]

If I were Henry, I would've chipped away at Fred's eggshell, to get him out.

[@toddberner761]

"do you wanna wake up easter morning with no easter eggs?.....you do wanna wake up easter morning? "

[@catbleblk]

One of the funniest Super Chicken cartoons ever. I love the line when the bunny pulled out a gun at the teller and the woman says, ''Let him have it, Easter Bunny.''

[@Blaqjaqshellaq]

"When you hear that cry in the sky, you'll know it's Super Chicken... and his polka dot Easter egg!"

[@captcold1]

"Oh YEAH! You've outdone yourself Fred... Yes, well I put salt on the rim...."

[@davldbradley6073]

I'm number 500 likes 👍. Love these Super Chicken, is there any more than these 17? I hope!!

[@watchmyshoes22]

if i ever rob a bank i know what im gonna dress up as :)

[@fifiladouche]

How could 13 people not like SuperChicken 🤔

[@RNBMusicNJ]

This is great. Takes me back to childhood.

[@simonteam]

great cartoon--i dont remember being in this one ,i mean ever seeing it--this is one of the best episodes of super chicken--it was the middle cartoon between GEorge and tom slick--but its the best--with bill scott's voice --puk puk--he did as well- George / Super Chicken / Tom Slick / Gertie Growler (voice)

[@glowworm2]

What an insane crimminal. I love when the Easter Bunny takes out a gun.

[@KodeBloo]

I KNEW it would be on youtube! I tell people at work when they screw up, "you knew the job was dangerous when you took it, Fred!" They look at me like, "huh?". I answer, "You never heard of Super Chicken?" "No." "George of the Jungle?" "Oh, the movie?" Nevermind.

[@RobertaDear]

It happens the same to me, KodeBloo!Ahahah

[@Mrung0wa]

Jay Ward is god.

[@rehobothwell]

"The Jay Ward All-Stars" 30 seconds into this video

[@OeditpusRex]

I use that line a lot, too. In fact, I used it last night on a Facebook friend, but she'd never seen Super Chicken (!), so I got on YT to find an example for her. That led me to rosscarlson's channel, and I made an instant fan of her. :) Hey, is your username in reference to Quick Draw McGraw?

[@saj8]

Props to Jay Ward.

[@alskyviewerallen9665]

that Easter bunny just hit Henry aka Super Chicken and Easter bunny said Aw Shut up ! lol

[@tropicvibe]

"The powerful sauce took effect" lol, sounds like brandy

[@ravenkliff]

So jerry seinfeld didn't make it up for that TV spot....

[@Rtkat3]

@heine71 At least the production of the show involved Jay Ward.

[@g.h.1472]

Hey hand. Over that doe. Easter bunny ,lowie the laugh in. Is a crook.

[@tropicvibe]

Thanks for the info, agree with you wholeheartedly. I think the cartoons kids are watching nowadays are melting their brains. All my friends grew up watching this kinda stuff and we all turned out to be really good people. The kids now don't have any of this stuff we grew up with yet all I see are whole lot of mentally disturbed, crooked degenerates around me.

[@Blaqjaqshellaq]

Classic stuff!

[@ameripino]

Not so odd; back then it was common to use the word "DRUGS," to indicate a Drug Store.

[@PJSkins26]

Is that Mel Brooks doing the voice of Fred?

[@yosefdemby8792]

No, Paul Frees

[@Ralokone]

how do I know what super chicken is

[@johnham8824]

its something your born with, born 1965 though .

[@fromthesidelines]

Oh, yes, they were! That was Ward's final series for General Mills....

[@mechasaurus]

Everyone knows the Red Carrot Hotel is for traveling Easter Bunnies.

[@aerojoe20001]

"THE MIGHTY CHICKEN HAD DONE IT AGAIN!"

[@leewaller3976]

@Quickdraw1111 I use that line all the time too.

[@cookiebandit18]

the easter bunny robs a bank.....and super juice is alchohal

[@HooDatDonDar]

This ‘super myoposcope’ does not actually find anything. They run into the villians hideout by accident! ????

[@Cambodia69]

I think Fred is gay and Jewish.

[@cstoczyn]

HUZZAH!!!!

[@specterman2000]

It's a good thing Elmer Fudd wasn't in this cartoon otherwise it would be Easter Bunny stew!

[@cstoczyn]

Long Live The Easter Bunny!!!!

[@Rtkat3]

It almost sounds like Daws Butler voices the Easter Bunny. Any objections?

[@yosefdemby8792]

I say Paul Frees

[@jessemarquez7924]

Lol 😂

[@donaldlang1871]

Louie could just move to Canada

[@talatsmum]

[@skrag2112]

151, Grenadine and methamphedamine.

[@joshylord]

[@AlteredBridge]

yeah, i heard "easter eggs" is an std from southwest asia.

[@J3Nutz]

[@yosefdemby8792]

Nope, Daws Butler
