Just for your information on Speedy Gonzalez... since the 1960s, my Mexican family LOVED Speedy! What made it funnier is that we had family members who actually sounded like Speedy! My grandpa would make me get up early on Saturday mornings to watch the two hours of Warner bros. cartoons with him because he didn't want to get caught watching cartoons by himself and have to explain to someone why a grown man would watch them.

“Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it.” ― Mark Twain

[@KaiserOfPrussia0910]

Ironic, his books are some of the most censored.

[@k1productions87]

Though in this case, the censorship is not putting a juicy steak in front of a baby, because said baby can't chew it. Adults can still find these things, if they do a little looking. But showing them to children, on a children's show, during a family-focused time slot is problematic at best. That is why adult-oriented time slots existed, even on cartoon-focused networks.

[@lowyieldforeffort6996]

I grew up right at the end of the "Saturday morning cartoons" era. Coincidentally, this was right before school shootings and other acts of unprovoked violence became common in the US. Our grandparents used phrases like "screamed bloody murder" and " bombed out of their gourd" in a purely metaphorical sense. Even kids knew that they weren't being literal. The "guns" in Looney Tunes were all starter pistols or cap guns to us. A couple of cartoon "deaths", and we had the pattern figured out: the characters were only stunned and would come to presently. I hope kids today can still understand this on some level.

[@BBBHuey]

The only thing disturbing about these cartoons, is how they were censored.

[@arthursmith1181]

Very true, I watched a bunch of them and never thought they were too violent. Now air something like the new She-ra or thundercats Roar or Teen titans Go back in th eday. let's see which one the public would be offended by. The classic stuff or the "new" one.

Looney Tunes has always been SUPER DARK but Comedy shouldn't have limits! One of the absolute best jokes EVER in the series was when bugs bunny straight up shot a guy just for coughing.

One of my favorite moments from Looney Tunes when I was little was near the end of a cartoon where a cat says, "Now I've seen everything," and shoots himself in the head. I thought it was the funniest thing ever. I repeated the joke to my parents and everyone else, complete with finger-gunning myself in the head. Then years later I watched the cartoon again, and it ended before the cat shot himself. I was stunned. It really ticked me off, because I felt condescended to. I don't know if the network really thought moments like that would encourage children to commit suicide, or if they were just bowing to overprotective parents. Either way, I found it insulting, and my interest in Looney Tunes started to dwindle after that. An even better Looney Tunes moment is when Bugs Bunny pretends to be the Easter Bunny, goes to deliver eggs to a criminal gang's house, and finds a toddler using a pistol as a pacifier.

While all the censorship, racism and dark humour does take a great place in disturbing facts about them I would say one thing is that most disturbing of them are bullies. Everyone’s either trying to kill one another or prank another and some of their mischief against the other becomes very cruel and deadly. Perhaps at the moment they can seem a bit amusing but once I really think about it they don’t really do a lot of good influences most of the time. Maybe Some could say Bugs Bunny could be a good influence because he uses intelligence to win the battle, and sure I can except that but even his shenanigans can get really cruel at times. He doesn’t really think about the well-being of the other when trying to survive their antics. Their cartoon physics and logic may cause them to still be alive at the end but if it they were in our world they would commit a lot of murders.

This is quite strange because kids from the 60s, 70s and 80s NEVER EVER felt horrified by those spectacular and funny fights, deaths, punches and scares the characters suffered. We all knew that was only fantasy and never real. I never felt discriminated or humilliated when I was an 8-year kid with big teeth and my classmates called me Bugs Bunny. In fact I was honored. I absolutely LOVED the long lost Inky and the Minah Bird cartoon.

Most of these issues are "products" of their time: characters smoking & using guns wasn't a bad thing at the time but obviously today isn't something that could be shown in a show aimed towards kids. The episodes, which are banned, are a product of the time given the offensive material in them along with the wartime cartoons which were meant as propaganda & morale for the troops but not so much today.

[@rookeealding2803]

"one beer" is hilariously stupid even at that age. They get drunk off of one beer between three people, ( become bums) steal a police car and drive off a cliff to their deaths! floating angel wings and all! They do show that it was all an act to teach, but man that was a ride.

The deal with the violence is pretty much spot on! We knew it was all for a laugh, the kind that couldn't possibly be done in live action; not even the Three Stooges could pull off gun antics like cartoon characters could! But even there, the studio producers had their limits. You need look no further than the "director's cut" to Hare Ribbin' (1944), where Bugs has an alternate take on granting a hunting dog's death wish! That's on the LT Golden Collection, Volume 5, if you're looking.

Times change and what is considered appropriate entertainment does as well. These cartoons represented what society deemed acceptable during these eras. I can remember my father explaining to us people who were harmed fatally wouldn’t be back the next week. He loved these programs. But he also realized children might not realize the severity of these violent actions. 🤷‍♀️ They have outlived their purpose like everything does. The world will be no better nor worse without them.

Classic cartoons were often built around royalty free classical music, hence the "Tunes". They contribute to American musical literacy and Classical appreciation generally, often Southern European, though Wagner is a star.

I used to watched these coming home from elementary school back in the 1984-1995s with my family. Having a laugh of my early kid life time. I've never had any thoughts that these were "dark cartoons" at the time during middle/high school years 1997-2002 to my adult age. Seems like internet is a bad thing only to find out what's truth and lies over many decades of entertainment, books, music, culture food to art, etc. They NEVER were a threat to me. I'm still LEARNING HERE! My eyes were my camera to recorded what I've seen as memories and my ears are audio recorder to keep relistening musics and sounds in my brain.

[@robertschlesinger1342]

Porky Pig's stuttering was described in your video, but Daffy Duck's slurring of words was an intentional prank making some fun at the founding owner of Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies, Leon Schlesinger. He had a slight lisp and the cartoonists used it with the Daffy character. Some were afraid Leon would fire then on hearing it, but Leon pretended he didn't grasp the prank, and was good natured, saw the humor, wasn't offended and didn't fire them.
