I love Underdog and the way he talks, I also love that even though the city would get destroyed he would always make sure that no one got seriously hurt.
I don’t know if anyone else mentioned it, but that theme was way more epic than a goofy cartoon needed. It’s really great and is something missing from modern tv
In my opinion Simon Bar Sinister will always be the greatest villain of all time. Sadly, he tends to fly under the radar on many people's list of greatest TV villains.
"Simon says "Dry up" "hold it Underdog or I'll smash Lake Michigan forever! Simon says "Rain" "thunder" " I have to cross Main Street to push the button"
Underdog was my favorite cartoon as a kid. It’s goofy villains like Simon Bar Sinister and Overcat were great send ups of Batman and Superman villains. I loved that he talked in rhyme and was the champion of the little people. The theme is one of only three song that would ever sing karaoke.
My parents got me a 3 volume DVD set as a boy and we all thought it was all the episodes. I think there was only around 13 in total, so I sadly still haven't seen all of them.
I had forgotten about the pill. But it never made turn to drugs. Always liked Simon Bar Sinister and Riff Raff. Is there any chance you could do a video focusing on these villains?
@@alfredo7843 I think that in heraldry, "bar sinister" indicates someone of illegitimate birth. In other words, Simon's a bastard! Remember the episode where Riff Raff introduced a criminal who was Underdog's lookalike, so the latter ended up in prison? What got to me is that Underdog decided, since everyone was blaming him, that must mean he WAS guilty! (Underdog isn't too bright...)
This video brought back a weird memory. As a kid I didn't know what the phrase "Underdog" actually meant, so I never questioned it as his name. The joke completely went over my head. What's more, if I did hear someone use the phrase I thought they were referencing the cartoon for many years. Funny to think about now. Did anyone else have a similar experience?
I didn't understand the term "underdog" either, but I was 4 or 5 when I was watching. I also didn't understand what "bread" had to do with Polly. I got a good laugh years later when I figured it out.
@racookster Funny you should say that. I did look it up a few months ago. It means the symbol the bastard of a king would use in heraldry. What a great, oblique reference for a kids' show!
When I was younger, if any kid was on the swings and wanted someone to give them a big push, we always requested, “Give me an underdog!“ I have no idea if that was inspired by the show or not.
I don't either, and I watched it in it's original run in the 60s. Maybe I missed them, or they had been edited out. Or maybe, at 73, I just forgot about it.
I used to watch underdog in the early 70's. Now I know why I spent 35 years popping doggy biscuits... it was for the better of man kind and a shot at Polly purebread.
Underdog was great. The dramatic reading, the music, and a hero who was a totally inept klutz, who still made you root for him. Truly an Underdog. And that baggy, ill fitting costume! And there were so many catchphrases... There's no need to fear. Underdog is here! Oh where oh where has my Underdog gone? Oh where, oh where can he be? Thank you, Shoeshine Boy. You're humble and loveable. Bless you, sir. (Crunch) Looks iike this is the end! Not bird, nor plane, not even frog. Its just little old me... (embarrassed laugh) Underdog. When Polly's in trouble, I am not slow! So it's hip, hip hip and away I go!
Here is a bit of trivia that went over the head of the censors at the time but then again those who might know something of Heraldry would have got the reference. The evil scientist whose name was Simon Bar Sinister was a play on words. In medieval heraldry, Bar Sinister means bastard or the bastard so Simon could be called Simon the Basteaed.
Well, if you go to the Hebrew? or Jewish? language, bar meant son of, like the character bar Abbas, or son of the father; wherefore Simon bar Sinister could be Son of Sinister. Or was "bar" from Aramaic? I dunno. Just taking a huge W.A.G. here.
I loved Underdog so much as a very young kid. I usedc to watch it in the early 70s on WNEW TV ch. 5 in NYC. But it was also his companion shows that made me laugh so hard like Tennessee Tuxedo and Chumbly, and the legendary Commander McBragg. lol
that Happen with the character "Tweety Bird" in the early days of his cartoon he was seen naked like a new born bird..with pink skin......it got past the Censors untill one cartoon Tweety was being chased by two cats....one cat said "hear comes the naked Genius now" The Censors hit the roof hearing that and demand Tweety wear clothes. instead he was painted Yellow to make it seem he had his feathers.
Always loved Underdog. Wally Cox was the perfect voice for this unusual hero. There was always a bit of a controversy in later years because Shoeshine Boy had to take a pill to get his superpowers. There was an article that noted the problem with Underdog and also with another great classic cartoon Roger Ramjet who had to take a "proton energy pill" to get his superpowers. Then, it dryly noted that no one ever complained that Super Chicken had to drink a martini to get HIS. [Not even exaggerating - there were several episodes where Super Chicken complained about the amount of vermouth in his "super sauce."]
A interesting thing in the 2000's the movie how they give him a origin story how he went to rejected dog police and get superpower by accident from the experiment of Simon Bar Sinister.. Is a bad movie, but this would be a good form of origin story
I liked Underdog more than Mighty Mouse. I also enjoyed Top Cat,Yogi Bear,Huckleberry Hound,Popeye,and Tennessee Tuxedo which he's probably the reason i like the penguins from Madagascar. Of course I enjoyed all the "regular" cartoons such as Tom and Jerry,Bugs Bunny,The Jetsons, Flintstones,etc. Boy did you bring back memories with this video. Thank you ❤
I have all the Top Cat episodes on DVD. Fun stuff. Tennessee Tuxedo with his side-kick Chumley, and Mr.Whoopee with his 3DBB (Three Dimensional Black Board) I wish I had. And of course King Leonardo, with his aide Odie Eau Cologne, and the baddies Itchy Brother and Biggie Rat.
If I’m not mistaken, the late Wally Cox was the voice of Underdog. He also made many appearances on the original ”Hollywood Squares” TV game show. One of my favorite TV characters. 👌
I had a theory when i was a kid after first seeing Underdog on TV is that he might have been a part of a secret experiment involving either the military or the space program.
me, watching the first phone booth get destroyed: um, the phone booth is history. Narrator, several scenes later: a complete obliteration of the phone booth itself.
I find it hilarious that some TV execs thought this cartoon could lead to childhood drug use, yet during the same time period The Flintstones were in cigarette commercials.
I think that cigarettes were far more acceptable back then and the flintstones were the equivalent of adult animation back then even though it’s very tame
Underdog was a regular for me growing up so thanks for vid - my suggestions wish list are Westwind (with Van Williams), "Superheroes" (Coo Coo Man, Tornado Man, etc) and Tennesse Tuxedo (who was briefly mentioned here).Thanks
0:26 *Did Inch High Private Eye have an origin story?* *In 1967 two Live Action comedies came up with the same premise. Captain Nice and Mr. Terrific.* *Scheduled 30 minutes apart on the same night, it was possible to watch both.*
As a kid I LOVED Underdog. As an adult, I can understand how popping pills would be seen as a bad thing. Still, Simon Bar and RiffRaff were wonderful villains. Now do a video on Secret Squirrel..
Simon bar Sinister: what a great villain name. This 'toon, along with Tennessee Tuxedo and Super Chicken were my favorites at the time. Another canine "superhero" that came along later was "Hong Kong Phooey," who was also just a humble character, a janitor.
When I was a small kid, Riff Raff used to scare the heck out of me! Haha! It seems to be a shame that Don Adams didn't embrace voicing Tennessee Tuxedo more because it was always a favorite of mine!
The Underdog theme slaps. Most cartoons would have been satisfied with ONE great verse, but Underdog had the one that opens the video and also "When in this world the headlines read of those whose hearts are filled with greed and rob and steal from those who need the cry goes out with blinding speed for Underdog." But in retrospect between Underdog's Super-Energy Pills and Roger Ramjet's Proton Pills, kids' cartoons really did seem to be pushing better living through chemistry in the 60s.
I remember when I was 10 in 92 that summer watching reruns on Nickelodeon and been one of my favorite animated shows. And I had the hots for sweet Polly. I tell you they got away with hot furry chicks in the last century like her, Cleo on heathcliff, Minerva Mink on animaniacs, Julie Bruin on tiny toons, Jenny on Bucky O’hare, m’ress in Star Trek tas, mutated Selina Kyle in that Batman the Animated Series episode where Selina Kyle got turned into a literal cat woman, Lola bunny in space jam, gadget Hackwrench, Angel in rock and rule, Goldie in rock a doodle, gandra dee on Ducktales, Felicia in darkstalkers, Callie Briggs and swat Kats ladies, Rebecca Cunningham and the talespin women, Aisha Clan Clan from outlaw Star, maid Marian, Colleen on road rovers, Mallory on mighty ducks, carbine on biker mice from mars, mirage on Aladdin the series, Kit mambo and Brenda on animalympics, to cheetara and pumyra on thundercats lol
Back in the '60s, many super-heroes didn't have (or need) origin stories---we never knew the origins of Space Ghost, Birdman and the Galaxy Trio, Young Samson and Goliath, the Impossibles, the Herculoids. In fact, the only super-heroes I knew of that had an origin were The Mighty Mightor, Shazzan, (more or less), and Moby Dick, the super-whale. It was just entertaining enough that they were there to battle the forces of evil, and preserve peace and justice throughout the galaxy.
Being a Superman fan, I was curious to watch Underdog. And I loved it. Starting with that great theme song and the adventures all the way through. I liked how it was parody of Superman, and how they did it.
I remember having to get up at like 6:30 in the morning to catch Underdog on Saturday mornings. I wasn't around early enough to catch it when it first ran as a new show and the only time it came on when I was a kid was super early.
Very good documentary, in Brazil this character was called "O Vira-latas", something like the trashcan turner. Very nostalgic for my childhood, when it was shown in the 80s on local TV stations.
I didn't know this was a cartoon. I've just seen the live action movie, which I'm fond of and think about sometimes still. Literally just earlier today I briefly had that theme tune in my head.
Underdog was the greatest cartoon ever. Well even if you don't agree with that you still have to admit he was damn good. Greatest theme song for a stupid cartoon there is. I was a kid of the 60's and religiously watched him every Saturday morning like clockwork. He was a total goofball that rhymes. He was relatable and showed you didn't have to be perfect to be a superhero. The only thing I had a slight problem with was when Sweet Polly would sing her, where oh where song. I have watched my share of cartoons throughout my life and there have been some pretty good ones. I have no idea what happened to Saturday morning cartoons. I still love watching cartoons and I am now an old man. They got to be funnyand not real serious and a little stupid. Invader Zim come as close to my liking as Underdog . It holds strong at second place...
I think Underdog’s energy/vitamin pill taking is more in common with Captain America’s Super Soldier Serum. But, instead of taking it once for all of Cap’s life, Underdog’s pills is mostly like Superman needing the sun to maintain his powers whenever Underdog feels his weakness of the Kryptonite effects of using up too much super power in the first arc episode to be continued in later episodes when he does take his pill finally.

When I was a kid, back in 1968-75, Underdog was usually bundled with Tennessee Tuxedo, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Dudley Do-Right, and a few others.
dont forget Chumlee LOL
Also Commander McBragg and Klondike Kat !
@@rogergeilow4982Exactly.
Good time to be a kid in the 1970’s.
Oh man, Underdog was one of my favourites as a kid. Love the theme song, almost as much as i love the original Spiderman theme song.
Wow...same here on the show and the theme song...the 1960s Spiderman theme was a favorite of mine too.
Both are outstanding theme songs.
As a kid of the 70's Underdog was one of my favorites!
I love Underdog and the way he talks, I also love that even though the city would get destroyed he would always make sure that no one got seriously hurt.
I had a crush on under dog....not kidding. I was born 1960 so it's a wonderful memory
I absolutely loved Underdog!
When danger calls, I am not slow..
It's hip hip hip and away I go!
I remember his balloon in the Macy parade, with the theme music playing and one of the hosts dramatically reading the script.
I've always liked Underdog and I love the theme song.
One of the lines was "Fighting all who rob or plunder!" Seems to me they should have said "rob AND plunder"!
I watched this show in reruns during the early 1970s. My favorite episode was the one with "Overcat."
Completely agree! Overcat was a great character!
I loved watching "Underdog" my favorite Saturday cartoon show. Love to be a kid in the early 60s.
I don’t know if anyone else mentioned it, but that theme was way more epic than a goofy cartoon needed. It’s really great and is something missing from modern tv
There's a LOT missing from modern tv.
The butthole surfer’s cover version is epic

I'm surprised that Boris Karloff never sued.
Nah democrats are.
Back in my day... Underdog, The Mighty Hero's & Felix the Cat were my favorite cartoons.
I liked top cat too
@@billyhomeyer7414 Forgot about Top Cat. I liked him, an Snaggle Puss, " Exit, Stage Left " ! lol
Also, Hong Kong Phooey! Number one super guy!
Secret squirrel, I still like squirrels
How about Go-Go Gophers???
❤ Underdog as a kid and his theme song
I always suspected Underdog of having a pretty nasty speed habit.
Underdog was my favorite cartoon as a kid. It’s goofy villains like Simon Bar Sinister and Overcat were great send ups of Batman and Superman villains. I loved that he talked in rhyme and was the champion of the little people. The theme is one of only three song that would ever sing karaoke.

Simon Bar Sinister is an interesting play on the Hebrew word "Bar", meaning "Son Of". Simon, (The hearer), son of Sinister.

Yes, I did, only all the time! And incidentally, I loved it when Underdog spoke in rhyme! 😉
If the name "Underdog" flew over your head, look up what "Bar Sinister" actually means. 🤣
Yes, the creators were actually calling him a bastard.

Love love love Underdog. It's simpli🎉was pure genius. I believe I have all the episodes on DVD.
I liked Underdog as a kid,as an adult I wonder why he wasn't arrested for destroying so many telephone booths.
He hit that supet-speed and beat everybody up.
I used to watch Underdog but today is the first time I noticed Shoeshine boy was virtually naked! Censors slipped up there.
that Happen with the character "Tweety Bird" in the early days of his cartoon he was seen naked like a new born bird..with pink skin......it got past the Censors untill one cartoon Tweety was being chased by two cats....one cat said "hear comes the naked Genius now" The Censors hit the roof hearing that and demand Tweety wear clothes. instead he was painted Yellow to make it seem he had his feathers.

LOVE UNDERDOG and UNDERDOG ALONE... So he took Super Energy pills.. He was as bad ass as can be....
I forgot about this...thanks for the memories. I loved this. Better than eating tide pods...lol
Now we know why there are no phone booths. It's Underdog's fault.
I always thought "Bar Sinister" would be a cool name for a rock band

I grew up watching the cartoon growing up. But strangely I appreciated and still enjoyed it when I got older. Don’t forget Fractured Fairy Tales. 😁
I use to watch it every morning
Every Underdog story has a first defeat, which Underdog must overcome. The inevitability of his bounce-back is part of the joke.
My first superhero that I ever encountered was Underdog in reruns back in the very early 1970s 😊. He was also my first Halloween 🎃 costume!
I had a theory when i was a kid after first seeing Underdog on TV is that he might have been a part of a secret experiment involving either the military or the space program.
The Disney live-action movie prompted at least introduced Underdog to the 2000s kids and prompted me to watch the old cartoon series.
Lol, that Underdog voice. Thanks Rich.
Very underrated cartoon 🤗

It's always bothered me when a team was deemed the underdog. I always thought that it meant the team was good....like Underdog.
I hear there’s demand for a movie. I would do a movie where it shows the origin on how Underdog got his powers.
There was a live action movie which I have avoided because I liked Underdog too much as a kid to watch Hollywood eff it up.
@@Spiritof_76 Yeah, the animated one I would plan on doing would be more faithful to the original show
I think Underdog’s energy/vitamin pill taking is more in common with Captain America’s Super Soldier Serum. But, instead of taking it once for all of Cap’s life, Underdog’s pills is mostly like Superman needing the sun to maintain his powers whenever Underdog feels his weakness of the Kryptonite effects of using up too much super power in the first arc episode to be continued in later episodes when he does take his pill finally.
