You're missing the point. The official head was not to prevent dysentry cases altogether, but to limit the spread of them. Five or six cases per company of 150-200 Marines was a hell of a lot better than the whole company out of action due to dysentry. It's called "Damage Limitation".
I love reading the comments for these old timey shorts. As a relative young'un here, I just assumed the Burma Shave joke was some kind of nickname for how soldiers who strayed too far from base camp got singled out by the enemy. Instead, I learned it was one of the most interesting ad campaigns ever.
@@farpointgamingdirect Actually, Mel Blanc sometimes voices the Elmer and Elmer's actual derby hatted squinty-eyed Prototype (the first only prototype that doesn't have a big egg-shaped head or huge eyes) in the 1930's (only in Fred "Tex' Avery's 6 cartoons, such as "Little Red Walking Hood" (which is actually Prototype-Elmer's first cartoon from 1937) "The Isle of Pingo Pongo" (made in 1937 and released in 1938) "A Feud There was" (from 1938) "Johnny Smith and Poker-Huntas" (from 1938) Hamateur Night" (made in 1938 and released in 1939) and A Day at the Zoo" (made in 1938 and released in 1939)) 40's (in some cartoons even with Arthur Q, Brian), 50's (in some cartoons with Arthur Q, Brian) 60 (sometimes), 1970's (sometimes) and 1980's (sometimes). Mel Blanc voiced both Elmer Fudd and the other similar character, Egghead, who were actually created by Tex Avey as two co-existing separate characters in 1937. Egghead actually appeared in only 4 cartoons, "Egghead Rides Again" (from 1937), "Daffy Duck and Egghead" (made in 1937 and released in 1938), "A Lad-in Bagdad" (from 1938), and "Count Me Out" (from 1938). Mel only voices Egghead in "Egghead Rides Again" (in most voice acting roles) and even in "Daffy Duck and Egghead", only where egghead is yelling "woo-hoo" while jumping up and down after he finally captures daffy, but Danny Webb voices Egghead talking throughout the cartoon. Here is more proof to what I said, it is all from Eliza's Animation Amalgamation Website (daffydoodles.blogspot.com/2020/07/the-eggheadelmer-debacle.html) and also from in The Evolution of Elmer Fudd and Egghead video by Dave Lee Down Under (ruclips.net/video/ivl9m3Z2CuQ/видео.html).
I can't help thinking that if the Japanese had used their intelligence branch for something besides watching where marines crap they would have done better in the war.
Herd immunity in Summer of 2020 would have quickly put an end to covid. But now that the election is over in 2021, seems covid isnt much of a threat. Hmmm, must be that political sheep vaccine. 🤣😂
@@22kpar1xcyberdyne9 what does any of that even mean? Herd immunity means that if most people are immune, those who are to compromised to be given a vaccine will also be safe.
Knowing and acting are two different things. It might not be obvious on a jungle-covered tropical island that where you go makes any difference; the point was that yes it does.
Back then, they were drafting guys from parts of the country where they'd never seen a dentist, got past the 3rd grade knew that you had to wash more than your neck once a week or knew where babies came from. There are basic sex education films the Armed Forces had to make not just avoid VD but explaining conception! Hell, they made movies like "Blondes Prefer Gentlemen" to teach them how to date!
My dad in the navy had dioreahh farted and got some spatter on the commanding officer To sum it up he was dishonourably discharged because of his dishonorable discharge 🤣🤣🤣🤣
These are interesting. Although I love patriotism, I do agree that these were racist. It is good that we are taught extensively now about these race and gender issues.
@@jimmytwo-times4394 I agree. In fact, my Mom's whole side is Japanese American. Many Japanese, even interned, felt pride to be part of the US. A sizable number fought, and died, against the Empire of Japan. After World War 2, I think people understood better. Japanese who were interned were eventually apologized to. Hawaii became a state of the US, and people were given citizenship, etc.
Yes exactly, we wouldn’t want to offend the very ones who are trying to kill you. It was war time and all is fair. If you don’t think the opposition weren’t as “colorful” in their description and treatment of the allies then you are just showing your blind allegiance to political correctness.
"This yankee make honorable bowel movement in wrong location" LOL!
"honorable" had me dying 😂
The official head was also just a hole in the ground. Snafu could have just covered his job with dirt, washed his hands, and enjoyed his privacy.

Then, as now, The Marines were looking for a few good men. Unfortunately, they also got Pvt. McGillicuddy.
McGillicuddy IS the reason we need a few good men, slap some sense into him.
You'll find Snafu in Every Branch of the Military.
Every inch of the earth in public and private sectors
No matter what name, it’s always the same game!😊
This would be the World War 2 Oregon Trail version of "You died of dysenterry." Good hygeine, vaccines, and prevention of illnesses still saves lives.
The eyebrows on that sarge in the beginning alone could scare an entire platoon into retreat!

Why don't we see stuff like that anymore? I'd be up for a modern Burma-Shave style ad campaign

Here comes a trooper

Burma Shave
I just made that up.

I love how the sergeant's eyebrows are a bunch of chevrons!😂
Anybody remember the old Burma Shave signs? lol! I hadnt seen Mc Gillicutty before. Evidently the Marine's version of Snafu.
If I remember there's a video or 2 on here.
My mother's mother wrote a Burma Shave Jingle.
Sales this year.
Are soaring high,
But the bearded lady,
Still don't buy,
Burma Shave.
True story.
Nearly Snafu just more animation-based.
Snafu is Army and European Theatre. MacGillicuddy is Marines and Pacific Theatre.
Wow. Thanks for posting. The more of these I see, the more I shake my head.
I recall seeing a Burns documentary on WW2 where they paid special attention to a medical wing known as the "clap shack" in the Philippines...
Best WW2 military training film of all!
Who did Mel Blanc NOT voice during the 1940s?!
Ever since he signed that contract in 1941, only Warner Brothers characters.
Elmer Fudd who was voiced by Arthur Q Bryan

3:12 The fly wouldn't dare look or even touch a SBAM tin.
It's a parody of SPAM, the spiced ham that won the war.
4:30 What McGillicuddy has yet to realize that he's gonna be in deep shit, literally! 🤣
Okay, but what about all the flies from the approved head?
Love the Burma Shave. Miss them.
Great, now I want some Sbam!

because their culture already integrated not spreading disease years ago.

Oh shut the fuck up
Long story short, use your damn head.
An American video spells diarrhea in the British way?
Good question!
1940s was closer to 1700s than today
So how did the Japanese McGillicuddy was responsible? Did the flies tell them?
Hm-m-m, could be...
i think this is the first time i have heard someone say terlet for toilet other than my mom's family...
Its much more blunt than Snafu . Guess cos this was made for marines they must be different to army .
Snafu is stupid, but McGillicuddy is an idiot
Mcgillicuddy you ducking casual
Vely funny stuff!
The Japanese yen was the toilet paper
That's how Rommel lost the North African war.
you can tell this was a marine corps cartoon, it looks incredibly low-budget compared to Private Snafu

They should do one about what to do when a squid is being romantically engaged by the biggest marine on the boat.
Not covering food is the problem - those flies walk on animal crap too. Maybe have better kitchen safety.

Keep in mind, the Japanese were probably just as racist in their propoganda.
Oh boo hoo racism. Ever heard of having fun instead of listening to propaganda from sjws. The Japanese were just as racist toward Caucasians.
They were trying to kill us...hard to be impartial
