Funnier Than You Remember

https://youtu.be/QtdpVKpl8qY

Here’s the very first episode The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends (AKA Rocky and His Friends, The Bullwinkle Show, The Rocky Show/The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show/The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle/The Adventures of Bullwinkle and Rocky, and Bullwinkle’s Moose-O-Rama), which aired on ABC way back on November 19, 1959.

Crude animation and clever as hell.

  1. That shit was awesome!!! I miss the days of Moose and Squirrel. Wasn’t that show on with Tennessee Tuxedo, and that dog Mr Peabody?

  2. Yes, Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales. Boris & Natasha. Mr. Peabody was my favorite. Re-watched some of those with my kids a few years ago. Great stuff.

  3. And there’s all kinds of stuff we missed as kids. For example …

    Badenov’s name is a pun on that of the 16th-century Russian Tsar Boris Godunov. His accent and explosive temper are a homage to Hollywood actor Akim Tamiroff, especially Tamiroff’s role in The Great McGinty, a 1940 movie directed by Preston Sturges. Badenov was created by Bill Scott, who based the character’s appearance on that of Gomez Addams.
