It's so dark, macabre and even violent :o I mean a lot of cartoonists of this period may have fought during WW1. Was this cartoon a kind of therapy for them
I love the other Bosko cartoons (that don’t contain the MGM redesign) for their catchy music and historical significance but this is one of the few that squeezes genuine laughs out of me
I thought the Bosko shorts were on the Nick at Nite version of Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon, which was more for families and older viewers rather than children. Either way, it does explain why the daytime Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon didn't have black and white cartoons.
None of this happened, Bosko just got Shell Shock and was hallucinating this whole time. Bosko is actually a guy in the trenches shell shook and is making the animal combat up in his head.
Merrie Melodies really made some of Their Characters after Mickey Mouse. Even If Bosko Or Another Character in This Short Looks like him. Also, Mickey Mouse was Made After Another Character, so That probably could be one thing.
I agree with one of the other commentators! Although Bosko is considered to be a stereotype of a young black boy, the wartime setting actually makes this one of the funnier of the very early loony tunes that I've seen so far!
I mean Bosko is black, but in 1930 he was supposed to have a stereotypical accent and all that. Apparently, they dropped him and made him less of a caricature.
Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967) Aftermath Have you forgotten yet?... For the world's events have rumbled on since those gagged days, Like traffic checked a while at the crossing of city ways: And the haunted gap in your mind has filled with thoughts that flow Like clouds in the lit heavens of life; and you're a man reprieved to go, Taking your peaceful share of Time, with joy to spare. But the past is just the same-and War's a bloody game... Have you forgotten yet?... Look down, and swear by the slain of the War that you'll never forget. Do you remember the dark months you held the sector at Mametz- The nights you watched and wired and dug and piled sandbags on parapets? Do you remember the rats; and the stench Of corpses rotting in front of the front-line trench- And dawn coming, dirty-white, and chill with a hopeless rain? Do you ever stop and ask, 'Is it all going to happen again?' Do you remember that hour of din before the attack- And the anger, the blind compassion that seized and shook you then As you peered at the doomed and haggard faces of your men? Do you remember the stretcher-cases lurching back With dying eyes and lolling heads-those ashen-gray Masks of the lads who once were keen and kind and gay? Have you forgotten yet?... Look up, and swear by the slain of the war that you'll never forget! March 1919
At least in Toon warfare, nobody really gets hurt or dies. According to the film “Roger Rabbit,” the only thing that can kill a Toon is the horrific substance called Dip!

Warner Bros. would go on to create Looney Tunes cartoons in Black and White until 1943. And before you say, "But I thought the first Looney Tunes cartoon in color was released in 1934", that is true, but that was a Merrie Melodies cartoon. Merrie Melodies is different than Looney Tunes.
All militaries across history really. They have the unenviable job of making getting shot at / burnt / drowned / slashed / any number of other gruesome attacks/injuries appear worthwhile. Because if you can't get enough people, you get overrun by somebody else that did. So of course their are a lot of approaches across nations and points in history: -Because you are not truly a man if you don't -Protect your family and loved ones -Protect what [name of nation] stands for -Killing people can be thrilling -You will make lots of money (sometimes a lie, sometimes true, virtually always depends on rank) -You will be spurned by the populace if you dodge our attempts to force you. It goes on and on and on. At the end of the day, war is a lot harsher than any military throughout history lets on. Because frankly if they did, not enough would join. At best they tell the truth while simultaneously trying to distract you from it with something else. And that's why drafts were a thing through most of history. Those that use volunteer armies have to either trick, or convince people to quite possibly sacrifice not necessarily their lives, but potentially worse yet the livability of the lives they are left with. The war heroes (known and unknown) are the ones that decide the horrors are worth it because people need to be protected.
Fernando Mazzini I'd want them to watch TV, just don't watch too much of it and learn the difference between the good shows and the bad ones. And what if you have illiterate kids or kids with reading issues (like dyslexia)?

Battelfied 1 sure looks good
Better than You think. it is called a joke
No, this cartoon is actually accurate.
Harry S. Plinkett so your telling me that army's built mg nest in bird nests
I agree with indoril how is this cartoon accurate in some ways?
Imagine a game like this, it would be like TF2 and Battlefield 1 had a baby
Darkness, imprissoning me, all i could see, absolute Bosko...
Nice

There is nothing quite as enjoyable as trench warfare is there?
Arizona man true
It was great fun as can seen here.
Wait'l the get to the chlorine gas!
Whenever anyone says "too soon", just think of Bosko.
Bosko deserves to be reintroduced, especially in a Looney Tunes video game.
I'm sure the reason they haven't is because he's essentialy a black face stereotype, didn't really notice myself at first lol
@@jasperpuccinelli5856 He did have a colored appearance and some colored cartoons, I watch one of the colored Bosko cartoons.
@@jasperpuccinelli5856 He appeared as a dogface character in Tiny Toons
They could reintroduce him if they just made him a black kid
He did appear in Tiny Toons, with a more Animaniacs-like design.
there used to be a ton of complaints when they tried showing Bosko on Nickelodeon. Kids disliked it

This isn't for kids anyways. Adultswim could get a hold of it tho,but considering how nowadays everything is offensive they probably won't
Bosko cartoons were meant for adults. Well, cartoons in general were meant for adults back then
@@ssamurai4 this one is especially fascinating though, and i wonder how many adults who worked on this cartoon had firsthand experience in WW1
Ah! The lighthearted hilarity of trench warfare!
i wish they still made this
war? man..
I showed my friend the clip at 0:48. His funeral is this friday.
RIP Your Friend

Could be a good jumpscare if u added sound.
Damn I need to be resuscitated after reading your comment!! 😂🤣💀..😂🤣
None of this happened, Bosko just got Shell Shock and was hallucinating this whole time. Bosko is actually a guy in the trenches shell shook and is making the animal combat up in his head.
Nice way to ruin a guys childhood
@@jaysondosgaming6611bitch the whole cartoon is about a war
you dont know what you're talking about. You crazy!

Boy, All Quiet on the Western Front looks great!
NOOO!! IM DEAD!! 😂
Notice the bomber pilot looks a lot like Mickey Mouse.
Maybe it is. I mean, we all know how Warner Bros. acts against Disney.
everyone looked like mickey in that time
Eddy Fizio Wrong, Lot of the normal mouses in cartoons looked a lot like Mickey.
A lot of cartoons back then were ripoffs or attempts at being like Disney.

1:31 Using yout own skin as a banner. Now that's what I call resolve!
Nah that's someone's PJs
it's amazing to think this was made before ww2
6:45 I didn't understand this punchline in the ending. Like, isn't Bosko already black? How can a black character do blackface?
I mean Bosko is black, but in 1930 he was supposed to have a stereotypical accent and all that. Apparently, they dropped him and made him less of a caricature.

These old cartoons were way ahead of their time.
Because these were meant for adults
Wow!! Now that's a dark comedy!

Well, it does take place during WWI.
As the guy above said it takes place during WW1 so how’s that crazy?
@@slazeblaze319 Search up "World War 1 Propaganda Cartoons". To me personally I found literally no cartoons about WW1 as they're base

Warner Bros. trombone gobble at 0:10!
the debut for this sound effect
@@BruceJuicyGamer168It actually first appeared in "You Don't Know What You're Doing!"
Charlie Brown's running brought me here
The first Looney Tunes short to use the classic "trombone gobble" sound effect.
Ww1 in a 1931 picture?
World War III trailer looks good, can't wait for the full release in 2027
I guess back then it couldn't be a Looney Tune without a musical number.
Even The Merrie Melodies cartoons were Musicals Back Then.
Wow... This is actually funny.

I wish I would have grown up in the 30s.
then you would probably have fought in ww2
Ever heard of something called the Great Depression?
You would have most likely been poor and starving as most families back then were.
William Otani bruh, you would have to apply probably.

They knew another war would come, so they made an cartoon to try to warn the kids!
More like they made fun of World War I while it was still relevant.
