This reel features several cartoons featuring Private Snafu, that were produced between 1943 and 1945 during World War II. They include "The Home Front" (dir: Frank Tashlin), "Diarrhea and Dysentery" (dir: unknown), "Rumors" (dir: Friz Freleng), "Camouflage" (dir: Chuck Jones), "Gas" (dir: Chuck Jones) and "Payday" (dir: Friz Freleng). It also includes "A Few Quick Facts", an animation that appeared (like the Snafu series) as part of the "Army / Navy Screen Magazine" during the war .
The character of Private SNAFU ("Situation Normal: All Fouled Up") was created by director Frank Capra, chairman of the U.S. Army Air Force First Motion Picture Unit, and most were written by Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel, Philip D. Eastman, and Munro Leaf. Although the United States Army gave Walt Disney the first crack at creating the cartoons, Leon Schlesinger of the Warner Bros. animation studio underbid Disney by two-thirds and won the contract. Disney had also demanded exclusive ownership of the character, and merchandising rights. The purpose of these cartoons was to help enlisted men with weak literacy skills learn basic and important facts about military life. The highly entertaining shorts feature simple language, racy illustrations, mild profanity, and subtle moralizing. Private Snafu did everything wrong, so that his negative example taught basic lessons about secrecy, disease prevention, and proper military protocols. Private Snafu cartoons were something of a military secret - intended to be seen by the armed forces only. Eventually however, some of the less off-color toons were shown to the public.
Surveys during the war to ascertain the soldiers' film favorites showed that the Snafu cartoons usually rated highest or second highest. Each cartoon was produced in six weeks, compared to the six months usually taken for short cartoons of the same kind.

I used to rent these Army Black & whites from the local mom &pop video stores back in the EARLY 80's... These were my favorite types of videos... because my dad was a Lt. Colonel... And my Grandpa fought in the Pacific... So naturally I got ALL my toys from the PX ... Tanks, Planes, Jeeps, Soldiers, and ALL those fun realistic plastic rifles... 😉 He served in Vietnam as well, I cant really mention some of THOSE Souvenirs that he brought home. He was the only Lt. of Alpha Company to survive. There were 7 Lt.'s that hit the Drop zone with them. I would not be here had he not survived... 😬
So thankful for your family protecting america
@@christopher7952 Thank you for those kind words and thoughts Christopher! It really means a lot to myself and them. More than you know... Sometimes a simple thank you from a complete stranger is the most powerful kind. You take care Christopher, and thanks again.
When the family cat is working, you know it's serious. 😆🤣😂😹
So cold it would freeze the nuts off a Jeep.
SNAFU: Situation Normal, All F___ed Up.
So interesting to see these relics from the past. Gives some insight into how soldiers thought in that era.
What?
whats era? iran?
@@StainderFin Are you braindead?
Can we take a minute to appreciate the full orchestra?
Agreed 👏👏👏
Great stuff. Still applicable today. It's also great to hear the voices of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.
I saw this same cartoon about a week ago, posted by a different channel. It did not censor the word 'nuts' where it says "freeze the Jeep" and the nuts fall off.
Woke showing up all over.
7:12 I think the longest supply in WW2, should be US aids for Chiang Kai-shek China, and 14th air corp in China.
Railroad and trucks inside US for made bullets and weapons, then board the liberty ships, sail ed through South Atlantic or South Pacific plus India Ocean to reach Culcatta, India. Then truck or train hauled those stuff to Imphal, then aborded airplane flew through the infamous " Camel Hump Flight". Final load those weapons to trucks(In China, trucks was scarce in WW2) and sent to 14th aircorp or kmt army soldiers.
4:54 "This is a picture of you..."
i'm pretty sure i have eyes, actually
The sound of that bellows around 9:30 going ¨Theyre gonna bomb us, theyre gonna bomb usss¨ sounds just like that singer Tom Waits speaking voice
Super video! I applauded for $2.00 👏

That's not funny!
Actually it’s very funny. It just doesn’t translate in your mysterious Slavic language.
JK.
@@shotcall1 That's the least of your worries. Wait til you see the Cyrillic handwriting.
They used to say that “‘F___’ was the word that won the war.”
How long has that word existed?
(profile pic is my Dad's 1943 Willys MB -- was in North Africa -- big, non-standard 2nd gas tank)
Do you have it? Does it still run?
It might have seemed boring and pedantic, but economists and logisticians calculated "ton miles" of various components of things like the Springfield .30-06 cartridge needed for the M1 Garand standard issue infantry rifle, i.e., copper, tin, lead, saltpeter, potash, sulfur, as well as service components of the machinery necessary to draw, stamp, fill, and seal the rifle cartridges. By establishing also the routes, the logisticians could also know where rail and road transport resources needed to be allocated. Both, along with things like rubber for TIRES were a critical item that could have severely hampered war production.
The USA was fortunate that, in general, it's distance across the world's two great oceans, the Atlantic and the Pacific, made it all but invulnerable to enemy aircraft and/or missile attack, a security we NO LONGER enjoy and haven't since the Soviets tested their first ICBM in 1957. The enemy didn't have to lay waste to our cities like we did to Germany and Japan, indeed, such would have been a waste of effort, men, and critical resources. The greatest vulnerabilities were those BRIDGES, mainly crossing the Mississippi, which, if destroyed, would prove "choke points" that would halt critical cross-country traffic. Even then, the economics of mundane things like manufacture of ammo dictated a fairly national point, often in places like Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio where manufacturing long had the necessary infrastructure and MEN to work in the factories. It's not as if Springfield Arms could just post job listings on a web site in 1942! Therefore, all the raw materials had to make their way, across the country, totaling a necessary sum of routes exceeding 11,000 miles, as the narrator points out. So, taking out the bridge where US 30 crosses the Mississippi at Clinton, IA would have proved a severe impediment, as traffic would have to divert to other bridges still up. The enemy KNEW this, but they also knew that in the 1940s, bombers capable of even reaching the target with a useful payload, let alone fighting their way to the target and returning safely, were years, if not decades off. Same with missile tech; most missiles were short-ranged, used for artillery, the ICBM, and, of course, nuclear warheads to provide enough "bang" to justify the expense were still DECADES away, and definitely a setup ACCRUATE enough to destroy the target w/o necessary causing such horrific collateral damage as to provoke the "Mutually Assured Destruction", or "MAD", scenario. The method left to the Axis to do anything was, as Bugs Bunny would put it, "Die-Ah-Bol-lick-all...sab-boh..tageeee" (Diabolical Sabotage). This was shown in June 1942, when two teams of English-speaking Germans were landed in New York (Long Island) and Florida, to do their "deviltry". Fortunately, a couple of them either got "cold feet" or used the mission as an opportunity to defect, it was they that betrayed their comrades and frustrated the mission, and it was only they that were spared being summarily executed as spies and saboteurs.
Of course, the Germans were hampered in all sorts of ways, from losses of natural resources, to sabotage, bombing, and active and passive resistance, in producing war material and ensuring that what did make it to combat units actually worked. Until late 1944, the Japanese enjoyed almost as much immunity from bombing or shore bombardment as did the Americans, but their big issue was in merchant transport, even from Manchuria, a huge manufacturing base for them, to the Home Islands, across the Sea of Japan and/or the East China Sea, which, since they'd effectively gone to war with China in 1931, were Japanese "lakes", but as the US Navy got closer and closer, no more. Once the B-29s got close enough, worked out the "kinks" of the large bomber which production cost even more than the atomic bombs they eventually carried and dropped, and perfected the low-altitude firebombing so Curtis LeMay's 20th Air Force could literally "bomb 'em back to the Stone Age", Japanese war production effectively halted, due to (1) cutting off of raw materials from outside the Home Islands (2) destruction of the factories, railways, and key bridges and ports and (3) DE-HOUSING of the work force and supporting small shops of the big factories with the firebombing. Even had the atomic bomb not been available to shock the Japanese into accepting surrender, given them a "face-saving" excuse, the Japanese economy was ready to utterly collapse, which would have imposed suffering on the Japanese people far worse than what the victims at Hiroshima and Nagasaki endured.
Wow ! GRAMPA was pretty lecherous..and it's apparent that that other guy isn't focused on Sally Lou's eyes. 🤣
It would be Really fun, and entertaining, to see the Private Fubar series. I can see it now...
Is that the bugs bunny voice I hear in multiple characters as well as Yosimite Sam's?
Yes.
It is the voice of actor Mel Blanc, who also voiced the aforementioned characters.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_Blanc
Why? What does Mel Blanc have to do with this video?
@@staspastukh2005 cuse he voiced snafu
I swear I heard John Wayne
In a different cartoon, it was, "its so cold it was freeze the nuts off a Jeep".
it was censored because, according to the title card, this film was presented to a civilian audience.
Even so, some of it's still pretty raunchy! LOL!
@@paigetomkinson1137 yeah the mermaids weren't censored at all!
@@DJsuryong LOL! IKR? I wonder how many families saw this and were scandalized! 😅
I had no idea! I always assumed these were just shown privately to armies or something :0
Hola saludos desde Bucaramanga Colombia mano.
Try Rumors @ 8:40
Oh ho ho ho ho you can make a friggen bed boy 😂😂
...yeah, opening line is censored for civvy audience -- "Freeze the Nuts off a jeep"
( jeep was a nickname, part from "GPW" Ford copy of MB Willys, and part from 1930s cartoon character, "The Jeep")
15:16 had me dead laughing, these were hilarious too back then
10:16 the flying baloneys look like Hand Banana from aquateen hungerforce
any chance California can get those bullet shipments back?
Nah the lead mines are all closed in the tri state mining area.
Why?
I hope my grandpa watched theese while fighting the nazis
Gosh I didn't know you cared uwu
Gomer Pyle would be so very proud.👀
Never did I ever concieve that bugs and popeye would do a compilation. Get educated!
This bullet is more well traveled than I
That was actually funny. Turns out Sargent snafu was a hater whole time .... Who knew
That's Bugs Bunny's voice.
whia
It's censored
SNFU
1:57 - 2:01 that girl just takes off all her clothes. 🙄
12:05 Strangely in 1940s US recognized China effort in fighting the AXIS .......
and the Chinese did fight better than the French with only 1/124 of French industrial strength
French produced 6221000 ton of steel annualy(1938)
while ROC(China) ONLY HAD 50000 ton of steel annualy (1935)😑😑😑😑
and NOW PRC(China) produce 1053,000,000 ton of steel annualy (2020)
Muh steel figures
