Tom Slick: Bad Year Blimp Race

[@darrylslaughter5977]

These cartoons are some of the best made!

[@zapkvr]

Jay Ward produced George of the Jungle, Tom Slick and Super Chicken. A lot of the voices were former Fractured Fairy Tales and Fractured Flickers alumnus. I had forgotten completely Baron Otto Matic. I LOVED this cartoon when I was a young lad and it still stands up today. I wish there was a DVD.

[@HolyCross9]

You'll be happy to know the entire series is indeed on DVD.

[@amberola1b]

not only were the cartoons of the 70`s cool but the theme songs were just as memorable and they actually put some thought into the arrangements. they were just plain great

[@acla9000]

You're right. It would be really worth lauching Jay Ward's cartoons in DVD.

[@PathfinderMac]

This is another Classic for me I'm 54 now so I got to watch this in the sixties,now I watch 60's cartoons late at night after smokin' a bomber Laughing my ass off at the skits Reminenicing my pass' Us Baby Boomers are the coolest in history,and always will be.

[@arober9758]

Incredible and triple-double groovy good job!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Monica1C3]

Thanks for posting this. I have the DVD but haven't seen all of the episodes yet. I've never seen this one. Always fun, especially the Moster Rally episode (the Red Corpusle Bloodmobile ;-).

[@detmstr341]

Baron- If you want the wrong thing done right, do it yourself, I always say. He is right about 1 thing. Sometime, if you want the job done right, you've got to do it yourself.

[@dretyn123]

Oh man, Tom Slick, this brings back memories.

[@ACcountryFan]

Jay Ward and company did this cartoon. Paul Frees is the lead voice actor, as Baron Otto Matic and the racetrack announcer; June Foray as Marigold; Bill Scott as Tom Slick and Gertie; and Daws Butler as the Baron's side-kick, Clutcher, using his Frank Fontaine/Crazy Guggenheim meets Marlon Brando voice, similar to the way he voiced Mr Jinx. Tom Slick aired as part of GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE.

[@astraldemise]

HA HA HA HA HA!! I I liked this when i was a kid but love this as an adult... . I cant stop laughing every time The baron hits Clutcher with the wrench... Cartoons like this good just arent made anymore. I heard because of censors you cant even have someone depicted hitting another over the head with anything...

[@gregorywray4484]

hey phllip yeah I remember these you can't out do the classics

[@DaveWollenberg]

ABC didn't run the Tom Slick episodes of 'George of the Jungle' in the '90s, for that very reason.

[@acla9000]

This show was great! I didn't know that June Foray voiced Nell Fenwick and Marigold. She also 'played' Hazel the Witch (the one that wanted to cook Bugs Bunny in her cauldron) in Looney Tunes and many characters in Hanna-Barbera cartoons such as Jokey Smurf in 'Smurfs' (Sorry, at the moment I only remembered this one). Thanks for posting!

[@deloufu]

Hey woof221 thank you for posting this it's brought back many memories

[@Dibrini]

I can see that, I always loved this cartoon.

[@HolyCross9]

She was aiming for Marigold?! And I laughed hilariously when Baron got himself struck in the posterior by one of Gertie's arrows!

[@I_am_Warthog]

As A kid I never noticed how close Gerty Growler's voice is to Super Chicken's.

[@jamesmelcher9355]

They’re Bill Scott. And Tom Slick, Dudley Do-Right, Fillmore Bear and Bullwinkle are all him, too.

[@jase7474]

A very cool cartoon in the day. Liked them all from Rocky and Bullwinkle to Go-Go Gophers.

[@Droopy777]

Tom Slick, Tom Slick. Let me tell you why, he the best of all the guys. Tom Slick, Tom Slick. In the Thunderbolt Greaseslapper once he's on your tail, he won't quit because you know there's no such word as fail to: Tom Slick, Tom Slick.

[@acla9000]

Wow, good to hear of this! Thank you!!

[@MrAlQ]

I'm 10 years old again.... and this came before Wacky Races

[@kwgthacher]

so great - related to Super Chicken on George of the Jungle!!!!

[@matthewmckee9914]

I had a checkbook that could bounce, but later I learned that it isn't supposed to bounce, more bounce to the ounce.

[@monsteranus]

What a long reach Otto Matic has with that pipe wrench!!!

[@dlnorton3001]

I think he's having too much fun running around with Mummies and Scorpion Kings...

[@ten8goa]

THATS THE VOICE OF THE BERGERMEISTER

[@fromthesidelines]

PAUL FREES! He also doubled as the narrator.

[@WytZox1]

As Maxwell Smart would say "The old bomb in the casaba melon trick!"☺

[@honeegrrl]

Gertie didn't like Marigold.

[@gqjohnny]

Years later Tom Slick became a newscaster and changed his name to Ted Koppel

[@berserkley]

"...if your check bounces, it's a Badyear!"

[@bisnagaboy]

Granny Gertie was hella cool and hella funny!

[@robertwhite88]

I haven't seen this show in 33 years

[@ButcherShock]

Such memories! Thanks for sharing this! (Hmm... After "Speed racer", I wonder when Hollywood will option a movie version?)

[@MrKeihn]

wow im from muncie indiana and never even heard about this!!!

[@RobDog65]

Just the name of his car--the "Thunderbolt Grease-Slapper"--is big-laugh worthy. ^_^

[@jln55]

Tom and Marigold are obviously twins of Dudley Dooright and Nell.

[@jpatt1000]

Check out 0:17. It's ol' Tom after hitting the bars! Alcohol makes him turn into his alter ego Harvey Wallbanger! His major superpowers are Fuzzy Vision and Mega Delayed Reaction!

[@terry1919]

I WANT MORE!!!

[@scenario1]

"I told you not to FUCK with me!... he hit ME!"

[@Inframan01]

YEAH BABY! Tom can totally kick Speed racers buttocks!! HAW!

[@WonderWomanFan4life]

LOL great video

[@1930FORDSEDAN]

@johnny2366 ... In one episode when Tom was asked about, "What was so great about "The Appleless Indian 500" ? Tom replied "Well, It gets you out of Muncie" ... LOL ..

[@knowallcity]

Whacky Racers

[@SaleGuy]

A parody of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company!

[@Whtxombi]

Spectators: "Yay"

[@lsmftymf]

The narrator sounds exactly like the author Richard Ben Cramer. Gertie Growler looks like Johnny Carson's Aunt Blabby. The funniest character in the "Tom Slick" cartoons is Clutcher who sounds like a dopey Greg Gumbel.

[@trainguy111]

The Skyhooker has a rather steampunkish design. Which is ironic, since this was 20 years before the term was coined.

[@Scarletspeedster68]

No it isn't, as Tom Slick was produced by Jay Ward in 1967 as part of George of the Jungle (including Super Chicken, btw) where Wacky Races was produced by Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera in 1969.

[@MsDragonChild]

@amberola1b so true! I was 7 the last time I heard these theme songs, I'm now 17 and can still sing them from memory!

[@ul7185]

As Seen on The Cousin Cliff Show

[@RPULTZ69]

There's no such word as fail in Auto Racing.

[@coocooduck]

rubber baby buggy bumpers!

[@loafer1989]

It looks like the Wood Crop Cloud Pusher balloon gets popped twice in this race.

[@thetalisman4299]

holy shit!! youtube wins again. now i have to hunt for some giant robot and hr pufnstuf

[@Durbelethwen]

The Show was made by the same people who made Rocky and Bullwinkle.

[@andersport]

I wonder what Goodyear thought when they saw this cartoon?

[@Jim660r]

Does anyone know where I can download pictures and videos of Tom Slick cartoons?

[@Dibrini]

The Narrator sounds like the "Assman" doctor from "Seinfeld."

[@andersport]

I wonder what they were saying at Goodyear?

[@peternoer]

june forray as marigold... who were the producers of this show?

[@michaelhull216]

Hahaha I just realized that for 55yrs i thought Otto matics sidekicks name was Fletcher now I know it clutcher!!! I like Fletcher better oh well lol guess you're never too old to learn something new

[@frschoonover1frschoonovery868]

Do you have the Tom Slick cartoon Send In a Sub? If so, could you upload it? If you don't, could you consider getting it and uploading it? Thanks.

[@eternal1blue]

2:00 clucher the todie todie

[@taglionilives]

Why did "Send in a Sub" get pulled?

[@disneyfan81]

Actually, he sounds to me like Howard Cosell

[@MrKeihn]

@johnny2366 yea i just found out myself it took place in muncie

[@themudman59]

Whats really funny it actually looks like the muncie indiana fairgrounds...weird.

[@davewollenberg1518]

Gertie's hatred of Marigold. Don't like that!

[@terry1919]

hello!! I'm Stretch Snapback CEO of the Bad Year Blubber company makers makers of products for home industry and banking if your check bounces it's a Bad year

[@ramester]

The words 'Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers' still make me cringe!!!!! Great

[@LooneyFan]

[@tednugent8501]

Am I the only one who kinda wants to bang Gerty Growler? Cmon, am I right or am I right?

[@gabedorman9258]

test

[@EccentricGentelman]

Oh this is just a rip-off of Wacky Races.

[@Lonelygstar]

that was terrible.

[@honeegrrl]

Gertie doesn't like Marigold.
