- Hagar the Horrible
For Hagar, the lovable Viking, the period known as the Dark Ages was not all that dark. Laden with loot from his latest “business trip,” the happy-go-lucky Hagar sails for home only to find his loving family turned upside-down. As head of the house, Hagar has his hands full as he attempts to put his family back on track.
I never knew there was an animated version, first time I heard his voice. I've been reading him in the comic strips for years trying to imagine what he would sound like.
This is pretty close to what I imagined.
I always used the voice of Wolfman jack.
Absolutely nothing at all what I would imagine his voice would sound like. I was thinking more like Fred Flintstone
Loved the comics as a kid. I think "Quark, the little giant" was a spin-off which I owned a few of as well.
Me either
Honestly, that was pretty sweet. I would've loved to watch this as a kid.
I know just what you mean by that.
Peter Cullen sounds like he's going for a Fred Flinstone type voice here.
I almost thought Henry Cordon was voicing him.
Interesting comparison.
Definitely a close, but no cigar guess.
Now that you mention it I can kinda hear it 😂🙂
Obviously.
I haven't seen Hagar the Horrible since sometime in the 90s in the local paper. I didn't know about an animated show until now. Thank you for the trip down memory lane, seeing this flooded me with many, many good memories.
You can access Hagar comics at comicskingdom.com/
I guess that makes two of us.
Thanks for the information.
Hagar is still in the Toronto star, last I checked.
I did not know that there was an animation cartoon of HAGAR the HORRIBLE and to see it come to life thanks to those two legendary cartoon purducers WILLIAM HANNA and JOSEPH BARBARA.
Puzzling, isn’t it?
This is the only Hanna-Barbera-related cartoon other than the 1970s-'80s Popeyes to be under King Features/Hearst ownership.
Good ol Optimus prime voice Hagar the Horrible, Peter Cullen and I think he did a bang up job. I remember seeing this cartoon only once when I was a young un. Still holds up even to this day too bad it never lasted long.
Is that who that is?
None other!
It's so sad this show hasn't turned into a series. That pilot was amazing!
Whether a pilot or just a one time special is anyone’s guess.
Likewise.
As a lifelong fan of Hagar, thank you for sharing. Now as an adult my innerchild knows what one of his favourite comics sounded like. Many thanks 👍
I'm really surprised this show wasn't picked up for a sitcom. The pilot was really good.
It could work.
No lies told.
Possibly.
Apparently.
This & Blondie deserved a full season. I only recently discovered them, and they're just as charming as tv gets
This was one of my favorite comics as a kid in the 70's . Never thought it would be a cartoon

Same here.
Haven't seen this animated special in a long time. A delightful adaptation of Dik Browne's popular comic strip about Hagar and his viking family. Thanks RUclips for this upload.
You're welcome!
Dude really?
@@ComicsKingdomOfficialdo you got the one with a baby that doesn't move his mouth like Garfield in a cartoon? I forgot his name though, he is the original comic strip too.
When was this made?
@@ComicsKingdomOfficial Now go fetch us the original Fat Albert special that was made for adults.
(I know, it's impossible...)
Anybody else chuckling at Peter Cullen voicing Hagar? He did do a number of less serious roles back in the 80s and 90s. Like voicing Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh.
Great Caesar’s Ghost!
@user-wi6sh6vh8u yep he did a number of those types of roles back in the day. He's just most legendary as Optimus Prime.
Would like it if he became the voice of Orville Snorkel aka Sarge (from the Beetle Bailey comics) when Orville gets an honorable discharge back into civilian life, and he relocates to the Texas town of Arlen where he becomes a new next door neighbor to Texas propane salesman Hank Hill and his wife Peggy.
kinda sad they never turned this into a prime time show or a Saturday morning show
Just as well.
This would've been a favorite of mine back when Saturday cartoons were a thing.
And for me that time would've been the early Eighties to the mid Nineties.
I know just what you mean fellow fan.
They would have ruined it, like so many others. It is so nice, just like that
exactly
Hanna Barbara productions were classics in their own right!
Depends on the show in question.
I've been keeping tabs on this channel every now and then. This is by far the best upload they've had. Cullen's performance just makes this whole thing. I'm hoping Browne liked this one as much as I did.
Who is Cullen?
@@mikejohnson3338 Peter Cullen - voice actor of the 1980s and beyond. :-)
@@mikejohnson3338voiced Optimus prime
As a kid who always looked forward to the Sunday funnies, when this premiered I thought, "It's about time!"
Hollywood missed a golden opportunity. Years ago I envisioned a TV sitcom based on Hagar the Horrible starring Alan Hale, Jr. as Hagar and Bob Denver as Lucky Eddie. I can just see Gilligan Island's skipper wearing that horned helmet. LOL!
Vikings never wore horned or winged helmets. Those would have been completely impractical. Horned and winged helmets were created by theatrical costume designers in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Loni. Anderson as Honey.
Very creative imagination & you're right, that would've been brilliant
More like Anna Kournikova as Honey with Gordon Jump as Hagar.
Never knew they made a pilot for this series!
I saw Hagar in the early 2000's back when my dad still bought newspapers.
Good times...
How true that is.
Nice one, Comics Kingdom. We need more material like this on tv today. When Saturday morning cartoons disappeared; humanity hit the steepest part of our downward spiral and we haven't recovered since.
That's a bit hyperbolic. Most animated shows were either toy commercials or rehashes of Scooby Doo. I was more into comic books.
We could also possibly use a feature film on theatre screens about Hagar, and it would rake in millions at the box-office.
This looks great! I loved reading Hagar strips in the newspaper growing up!
My kids felt the same way, especially my oldest son.
Well, now I know why I didn't like homework when I was going to school. My Viking heritage.
It figures.
I read HTH every day. I never knew they made a HTH animated cartoon. This was a fun cartoon. Thank you for sharing this.
You are most welcome!
Another spectacular special that I never knew existed 😮
Likewise.
This really deserved to be its own series.
I haven't seen this for a long time, thanks for the upload.
No problem!
I used to read those comics in the newspaper, I miss hagar he is funny 😁
You can get Hagar comics at comicskingdom.com/
Would give anything to have a good crossover story in which Hagar goes through a time warp and meets up with Snuffy Smith?
I use to watch this in Quebec in French when I was a youngster!!
Fun times!!
I've read Hagar since the 80s. I never knew of a cartoon. This was a fun video. Thank you
Strange how some of us find out things late in life.
This is honestly quite an entertaining little animated jewel. Hats off to the creators. 👍🏾🗿
As a Dane, living in Sweden, I can only agree to Hagars last words; yes we are still here 😜
You are right. I have seen the price for beer there. Absolute daylight robbery,.
"Illiterate" with Runes. 🤔 Propaganda everywhere. Skål!
Ethnic Scandinavians have lowest birthrate on the planet of any demographic. (Both parents of ethnic Scandanavian heritage
You all won't be around much longer at this rate
Tell it to Texas propane salesman Hank Hill.
I read Hagar every day for years. Always good.
Right on.
I owned one single hagar the horrible book as a kid so i would read the same collection of comics repeatedly and never get sick of it (it was the 80s so no net or computer) and theyve captured the simple humour of hagars life perfectly although i didnt imagine him sounding so gruff or eddie sounding so stupid.
Brings back memories, read the comic strip for years 👍
Now that’s the spirit.
One of the funniest ones i saw in the paper years ago was, Hagar and his crew were challenging a castle owner, who replied "You can have all that we have!", "What have you got?" Shouted Hagar, "Measles", came the reply!
That takes me back.
Lol 😆
Right on.
Good afternoon ! Congratulations ! What a missing time ! When " cartoons and comics " were together ! ⭐⭐⭐
More or less.
Childhood memories... I used to collect the strips from the newspaper... in fact I think I still have the booklet I made somewhere!
Please visit comicskingdom.com/ for our comic strips.
Truly sounds like a memoir.
I'm glad I made it here.
Welcome!
I never knew he had a cartoon . thanks for posting it 👍😊
Of course he do, I saw this cartoon special back in the 80s.
No problem!
How about a feature film on theatre screens?
Thank you, I looked for it during years.
Nice. I'm familiar with the newspaper strip but didn't know it was animated.
Miss the sundays papers cartoons
Oh dear, I miss the heavy and wonderful Sunday papers too😢
Our family had the same paper route for fifteen years. Generational first job, and I still miss the early morning routine.
All political crap now. Wouldn't wipe my ass with it.
Too many weekend editions.
Wow - I had no idea there was a cartoon adaptation! :)
Comic strips ARE cartoons. Single-picture cartoons are also ... er ... cartoons. What you mean to say is: "I had no idea there was an animated cartoon adaptation!"
Yes, for many year's as a child, I red it from the comic strip !
I remember watching this on television once, (and only once); I had just moved to New York City.
I had to scan towards the very end just before the credits---the only part I distinctly remember is Hagar coming out of the History Book, and saying, "Don't you believe it.", and that Peter Cullen was the voice-over.
Wow---how time has flown after 34 years.
Thanks for the post.
Aww I really liked this! Used to love reading Hagar the Horrible in the newspapers.
Thank you!
As a child i used to love hagar in the papers daily , reading it !
Feel free to visit comicskingdom.com/ for our comic strips.
So did I.
OMG thank you dudes!!!
Our pleasure!
Memories! Thank you.
Our pleasure!
I remember reading this cartoon( along with others) when I would buy the Sunday paper!!!
The funnies were the first I used to read!!!!
Likewise.
Hagar is still amazing, everyday, in the paper. You could easily do a hilarious live action.
Live action adaptations are lame.
Illumination and Universal have in mind an animated film based on this comic that would also have Chris Hemsworth as the voice of Hagar and Tom Holland as the voice of Eddie.
Depends mainly on casting.
Just the same, couldn’t Kournikova possibly portray Honey in a live action adaptation?
@@LindaCooper-i3f It would be good if in the role of Hony it was Emma Stone and that Lute was Ryan Gosling and it would be so that after Hagar and her companions confuse Lute's Ship with a Ship with riches they still plan to throw it to the Sharks but there Lute when he meets Hony falls in love with him too
The RUclips algorithm popped this up as a recommendation. I never knew a cartoon had been made of this classic comic. Whoa!
Hagar the Horrible is voiced by Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) and Megatron(Frank Welker) is the narrator.
Also Eeyore
So glad to get this THANKS 😊🥰
Enjoy! 😊
Never knew they made a animated series of this but in 89 i was past watching cartoons. Wish they had made this in the 70s
Strange, isn’t it?
What is this Wizardry????I have never seen this cartoon before and I'm 52 years old when did this come out😮😮
Man I love reading the comics of this guy.
So far so good.
Long before Vinland Saga, there was Hagar the Horrible.
If lucky Eddie could be a viking, I can't imagine their standards were very high.
More or less.
I remember seeing the strip of this in newspapers, that and garfield.
Likewise.
I didn’t know there was a Hagar cartoon. I read the comics in the newspaper all the time.
Very interesting.
Now do you think that a movie version of Hagar would be good for theatre screens?
Oh thank you for this gem, although Vikings bathed and were picky about their hair 😉😉😉
Hagar is from Cleveland, Ohio. Yay! Hometown boy makes good....?
The more I listen to this the more voices I recognise.
Such as Lydia Cornell as Honey? Just let me tell you, if it was in live action, tennis legend Anna Kournikova would be in the role of Honey; no two ways about it. Afterall, Kournikova does have golden blonde tresses that would have made her a prime candidate for the role of Honey.
Nostalgia overload.
Forsure!
Wait until the feature film hits theatre screens.
I had no idea this existed. For a Hanna-Barbara production, the animation was true to Die Browne's characters. Too bad it never became a regular show.
How true that is.
Thank you for upload
You're welcome!
That was a really cute cartoon, they don't make them like they used to.
Agreed!
One of my favourite weekend comic strips. So many great strips gone. Pogo, L’il Abner, Calvin and Hobbes, B.C., Beetle Bailey….
Thanks! You can still get these comics at comicskingdom.com/
I know.
This was really really good. Very well written and the voice actors are wonderful. Make it a series and I'll become a regular. :)
It would be better if it was a movie on theatre screens.
The Vikings were clean, took baths once a week (which was above average for the time period), rag washed the other days and had toothbrushes, combs, razors and even ear cleaners
The Romans definitely were cleaner than the Vikings.
@@LindaCooper-i3f So what? I was saying the Vikings were not as dirty as they said in this cartoon or as stereotyped o the media
At least the ancient Roman men were mostly clean shaven, especially the soldiers.
This is such a great treat!
How true that is.
I've never seen this animated short film from 1989 based on the comic strip. Hagar is voiced by Peter Cullen.
Enjoy.
I always avoid people from the wrong side of the fjord.
But Your kids are weirdos...
That's sound thinking..
Until the day that Honey met Loot.
@@LindaCooper-i3f Lean meat...
Only if Hagar was helping with the 1928 and 1932 campaigns for Herbert Hoover.
Great old stuff. I loved the Newspaper Comic strip. The favorite my family loved was when they tried to invade the Netherlands and were forced back into the water by the Dutch Women for being too filthy to enter the Country. My Dutch Imagrant Mother had a plack by the door that said don't bring mud further tha n the door mat.😁
In fact, Vikings were cleaner than most other Europeans.
I remember that one clearly 😊
Don’t know how.
Possibility.
Hagar sounds like a cross between Optimus Prime & Fred Flintstone.
Unusual.
He is in fact voiced by the guy who voices Optimus Prime (and also Eeyore for some reason)
How am I just now watching this for the first time?
Sane here :)
@@martinkalmus3761 Hagar is my favorite comic strip
❤ Not weird, just different. Perfect.
I love the ones where he is Talking about food😂he asked Helga for breakfast at 3am.... Because he doesnt like to drink on an emty stomach❤
“Good grief”, as Charlie Brown would say.
I used to have a crush on his daughter when I was little 😄
Honey is the Viking answer to Anna Kournikova.
I used to.love this comic strip on Saturday mornings

I LOVE THIS CARTOON
Ditto.
Este personaje lo conocí de niño en los 80s en las tiras cómicas de un periódico local en Guadalajara Jalisco y su nombre en español era Olaf !! Y su esposa Helga.
I also love the cartoon, but never knew that there was a cartoon
Which makes this just more rare.
The animation and drawing style reminds me of The Smurfs.
Try more like Funky Phantom!
Loved this in the first few seconds when I saw the Concorde 😊
Looked more like a 747 to me.
@@LindaCooper-i3f 😂😂😂 um…..no
Trust me, I think that I know a 747 when I see one, detail wise that is?!
@@LindaCooper-i3f sorry, nope. Google 747 then google Concorde. Concorde looks like nothing else! Ogival double delta wing, 2 engines each side doubled in long nacelles. Also has no horizontal stabilizer. Trust me, it’s absolutely NOT a 747!! It just happens to be my favorite airplane of all time and I have a couple friends that used to fly it. I am also a commercial pilot and own 5 of my own airplanes. Concorde was the first fly by wire airliner, first to have carbon disk brakes, full auto throttle, and CAT3B auto land certified airliner. It was also unique that it had reheat (afterburners) and thrust reversers. The inboard thrust reversers also could be used in flight as speed brakes.
Always had a crush on Honi as a kid.
You too, eh?
I did!
How would you possibly compare Honey to Anna Kournikova?
Well #### I had no idea this #### was a ####Ing thing. It's ####ing awesome.
i remember borrowing vhs that had this episode of the show from the library back when when i could barely read.
(edit: after reading comments below i learned that this was the pilot)
Very cool. More of these cartoons please.
Happy anniversary to King Features Syndicate!
Definitely.
Donny Most (Ralph Malph on "Happy Days") as Lute.
Donny Osmond would have been better as Lute.
Thank you for this!👊
Sure thing!
God this cartoon brings back so much memories 🙂🙂
Does his horns "pop-off " when he tells a lie to Helga ?😊
Don’t I know it.
Right on.
Love those storys❤
It’s just as if Hagar had an encounter with The 3 Stooges.
So this is the 1989 pilot, I assume. Weird -- I never would have thought they would have made it in stereo back then...
I didn't know they made a cartoon about Hagar the horrible!!

One of my dad’s favorite comics.
I remember comic strips borrowed from my father when I was a child. I heard his voice sound like Optimus Prime since I grew up watching cartoons in the late 80s and early-90s
Awesome video
Thanks!
Thank you! That was fun! 😎👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
