The animators must have been veterans. The infantry man was eating soup with a fork. Spot on attention to detail.
Ouch
🤣🤣🤣
That’s because he was eating potatoes.
Scalloped potatoes
Not to mention there’s always one who can’t count off
"suicide squad" Wow, Looney Toons was darker than I remember.
I thought they were eating prunes. ^^
Anti war and all that pre pearl harbor
Speaking of dark, how about that training substitute parachute?
It was always that dark Many episodes featured characters offing themselves when things don’t go right.
@@hobomike6935 don’t forget Daffy Duck doing that death stunt where he drink nitroglycerin and a match to blow himself up
This cartoon was made to tell the American people that their soldiers Are not war ready and should not join WWII in Europe but the sad part is that in a couple of months Pearl Harbour happened and they end up in the war anyway.
Majority of Americans were not for joining the war, seeing it as just more European nonsense. This plus a long isolationist policy had lead to vastly archaic armed forces. We didn't even have a decent armoured doctrine until the rush to modernise and build entire new armies.
Very often nobody is ready for war. Finland certainly was not. We had even young girls doing their part, some of them kept a watch of planes (paired with adult women), some sewing special mittens for the troops. Preschool-aged girls would watch their younger ones, as adult women had their hands full.
I hope people realize that it's going to repeat soon, and sooner than anybody wants
@@Klaaism lol, I remember that their early torpedoes were so bad many failed to detonate.
@@kos2919 Dranchinifel did an episode on it.
It's nice to see that the general didn't blame his mistake on the gunner; he's more ethical than any business manager.
Shows just how bad a General he is. Isn’t immediately blaming a subordinate.
“I’m a bad general. . . 😩”

@@TheAKgunnerits better to admit than to deny
Bob Iger should take note
The machine gunners munching on their meals was the best part in my opinion.
Nick Wilde they're pretty accurate, don't you think?
yep
Nick Wilde how did they predict how I eat?
I loved you and Judy in Zootopia!
Nick Wilde I like how the bombers eat
I love that this cartoon absolutely roasts the US military for no reason at all
It actually makes sense in context
back in the day it was a honor to be joked about instead of being offended by everything.
@@sheilaolfieway1885 Nope this was made to convince Americans that their army was not ready and shouldn’t enter WW2 and lots of the real people they depicted such as chuck jones were in fact….offended
It was made during a time where joining WWII was not at all popular, to make it clear that it wasn’t a good idea to join the war. Then Pearl Harbor happened less than a year later.
Too bad they don't let that happen now
7:16 of course, you aimed at the general hq, that map was upside down the whole time! That one person: you'd be sooorryy!
Holy crap. That bugle player near the beginning was such a let-on. As a trumpet player, the way he exhales perfectly resembles how one would blow into a trumpet mouthpiece while playing. Makes it seem like he's a pro at it if he is doing it in his sleep. So assumptions start flowing once he wakes up. Is he going to blow down the tent? Knock down every other tent nearby? Is the cuckoo bird gonna just stuff its horn in his still sleeping face? But no, in true Looney Toon fashion they completely upend expectations and hit you with a curve ball from left field. Absolutely love this stuff.
How I miss these cartoons
Same here 👍👍👍👍
........ "Parachute" being just a banner that says "Parachute".... Oooof. Yup. As the Grandson of a bomber technician, I was told one too many stories about men falling from high places, with a failed chute. And at the family BBQ no less.
My grandfather was a Canadian paratrooper. His broken elbow just before D-day due to a failed jump is why I’m here today 😂
Wasn't this cartoon to kinda nake fun of the fact that the United States was not at all ready for another war?
Pretty much, think it was trying to get people to buy bonds or some shit, they made quite a few of these for various purposes.
@@damackabet.4611 Actually this was made before the US entered on the war, so it aged quite badly.
And look what happened later.
It was anti-war. US folks don't want to get involved in another world war and expect it to end like last time. They don't expect the Japanese
This is (pre)war propaganda. It's supposed to boost morale and make soldiers feel easier about enlisting. To that end it's light hearted and funny
Good to see the gunners understood he meant longitude when he said lattitude
5:21 When you buy an "early access" game.
Prior to Pearl Harbor troops actually WERE training with trucks with TANK signs and 2x4’s for machine guns. The U.S. wasn’t at war but Britain was and lend lease was in full effect.
And yet it prepared the troops for that reality and showed civilians just how badly the military needed them to upgrade and supply them. The real irony
Been almost 50 years since I have seen this! I cannot believe I remember so much of it! WoW a Classic...
Been almost 50 years….? Are we live in 1980-90s?
@@bowq9628 I watched this as a kid in the mid 1970's not back in the mid 1940's. This cartoon was OLD as HELL even back then. I was not alive back then so it was a rerun on TV, This should answer your question.
5:00 they even showed the Gustav cannon
A bit small for the Gustav. Could he one of his 6 little brothers of the "Karl" Type. Karl was 600mm Shells. Gustav 800mm
" I better take the 16 dollars I better" Had me rolling 🤣
In the mess hall the Infantry from left to right is Tex Avery, Henry Binder who was Leon Schlessinger's secretary and I believe the other one is Bob Clampett. As for the the bombers the one with black hair is Bob McKimson and the one with blonde hair is Chuck Jones, I'm not quite sure who the one with red hair is.
I believe he's meant to be Friz Freleng himself whom was a red-head
@@TheComedicProsthesecondone a
Thank you!!!
Wow, Thank You😮
Looking at the faces of the 'suicide squad', I think the balding one is either Friz Freleng or Mel Blank.
5:30 R. I.P poor guy...
What a hell of a way to die.
relax…given this is technically Looney Tunes, off-screen he’ll most likely just be heavily flattened like a pancake with stars and chirping birds rapidly floating around his head.
The suicide squad joke ☠️
I haven't seen this since I was a child. But I remembered some of the scenes after all these years.
Old cartoons, crazy. We need more or these
I love how the Machine Gunners rapidly put beans or something in their mouth while the suicide squad eat Hash
Canadian here - what's the significance of the hash? I'm assuming it's corned beef? Is there some context I'm missing? According to Google Hash could mean using up leftovers, or dealing revenge. So are these vets being sent on a suicide mission, or is it a punishment detail?
@@SiegeTFshit on shingle, only for the suicidal
i think it tastes so bad you'd wish you were dead@@SiegeTF
@@circleinforthecube5170 for a last meal, this sucks
@@SiegeTFIt's a double play on the word. Hash has a lot of meaning depending on where you're from. I this case it's referencing 'hash', the drug, consumed by the original assassin's before a suicide mission. Then there's hash, in the original French it referred to chopped up leftover served as a second meal. In the army it either refers to a particular ration like corned beef as you imagined but it's a common name for iron rations and a number of soldier's dishes. Sadly for the Suicide squad this seems to be the second type of hash. Plus they're going to die.
good old days of cartoons so happy i still manage to see a few of classic on tv in early years of 98
Army Headquarters. MANY MILES BEHIND THE LINES 😅😅😅
you know, seeing the "army" using cars to train tankers didn't do justice to the reality. These people would have been training in falling apart French Renault-FT's (M1917 american made but still falling apart) which served from the end of ww1, to the 1930's.
How is it these soldiers have so much hair? They had us shaved down... These guys look like postmen, with guns... Love the camouflage troop
日本が竹槍で戦闘機落とせと教わってる時、アメリカはこんな滑らかで素晴らしいエンタメつくってたのか、、、そら負けるわ
I mean it’s thanks to Bambi that you guys have Astroboy, but I’m glad you guys are still around. Honestly much rather have the Japanese.
Not anymore, unfortunately...
It's hard to believe these cartoon were out during war time
Nah. I get it. Like, there is so much silliness in the military that if you were in the military and saw this, it would truly crack you up. While there is clearly exaggeration here, there are things that are true - bad chow, that one dumb serviceman, infantry going on long marches (humps), the differences between job roles, bad leadership…this video was made pre-ww1 and I still get it despite having decided from 02’ - 2010. And anyone serving today would get it as well. Somethings just don’t change.
As far as I know these were pre-ww1 kind've jabbing fun at the fact that the army just wasn't ready for the war and up until Pearl Harbor most Americans were anti-war. You had volunteers that left to fight in other armed forces or units like the Flying Tigers out in China but it wasn't until Pearl Harbor that Americans really got the sucker-punch they needed to wake up and smell the folgers so to speak.
I watched this as a 19 year old in 1945. Man these was the best memories ever 🔥 Loved this cartoon. Good times. It was lit
Why does old cartoons are better than new ones?❤
@BjGamingGD Back in the 1930s , 1940s , & 1950s Animators & Writers were Much More Creative. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Because they knew actual comedy and didn’t give a damn about offending people
@@animebrat76why does every moron on youtube think comedy is about being offensive and that thats somehow gone away? IASIP is STILL on air
I remember watching this bro in a hard drive
The real suiced squad
Following close behind the camouflage troops
That opening took me back to Saturday mornings when I was a kid. Thanks.
Poor parachute guy!
Next time try the train😂 4:25
So funny! I had to look up the jokes like “Bank Night”. Humor from 100 years ago!
I wish we could turn back time😢
Ey you already do, watch in yourself what do u feel when u watch this cartoons, feel the same in a "real time travel" enjoy it as it was now
@@raayaraujo6775 wise
And experience WWII?
@@sonicfanboy3375 hell yeah
1940s was worst trust me
My Childhood Used to watch on ETV & BTV
where are you from
@@jakyloyjuan Bangladesh
5:30 if this happen on real lives, we wont have any parachutist troop left in the war
The first bugle player must have been an E-4. That some mafia stuff right there. The training with fake weapons is funny cause it’s still happens today. Rubber ducks anyone? Oh and we in the army can still not get the counting right.
3:31 suicide squad? I'm pretty that didn't exist considering every battle during that time was a suicide mission.
That's like when I was at school I was glad when the lunch bell rang.
The headquarters getting hit genuinely made me wheeze
Retro Cartoons is a great discovery on KZhead
I don't know but the smacking sound when they eating really grinds my gears.
This cartoon is older then my father
Ahhh! The nostalgia! (Laugh in Peter Lorre)
I still have this on vhs!
2:46 FOOOOOOOD!!!!
The fact that people fuck up count offs since 1941. Holy shit.
Yo!!!!! I remember watching this as a kid! Wow, this feels like a long time ago lol.
yet you type like an edgy teenager.
I think its funny that they believed that they would get up at 6 a.m.
The US Army got a very nasty lesson from Rommel at Kasserine Pass that they were woefully unready to fight a battle hardened Wehrmacht. A lot of changes were made afterwards.
32 North by 58 West is in the middle of the ocean. If you go to 58 east, it's Iran.
It’s too bad nobody wants to produce cartoons like this anymore.
Thanks!
It’s amazing how far the Red Army has come in 80 years.
Just copy America.
This is the US Army?
@@utahraptor4729874 yes but nowadays it’s infested with communist
The red army was a force to be reckoned with. Whatever the new government has turned it into is a shameful parody of its former self.
@@utahraptor4729874 its a joke about modern Russia still using ww2 tactics in the Ukraine.
Hey the comments are on lol.
Hey, does anyone know the name of the song that plays during the cavalry/infantry section. It's been driving me mad for years
Probably reused music.
Try Shazam
The song’s name is Garryowen, often associated with the 7th Cavalry Regiment. Sometimes the song is spelled Garyowen or Gary Owen.
Gary Owen.
Greetings from Brazil, good cartoon2
Forgot the Air Force didn't exist yet.
As a vet it's good to know things haven't changed much no matter what era we're from. Seeing the Infantry boys all I can think is "Yeah that's infantry"
When propaganda was awesome and not Rainbow
1940s was the most badass decade 💀😳😤
He said right face, and they faced left.
Thanks a lot Cartoon Network you were our way to relax each and every day, then you moved up to a premium channel, so now, we can't relax
I'm confused and puzzled by the suicide squad table. Was that actually a thing and why are they eating hash?
I took the ice cream truck
Is it me or did the snoring in the beginning at first almost sound like the 20th Fox theme
Yep exactly, it was an Easter egg
awesome
Meanwhile in Europe...
Terimakasih telah menemani masa kecil kami
The scene were the soldier are eating always cracked me up 😂
That’s definitely some 92F and 88M right there
Plot twist. the Maps were Swapped and they tried to kill the General with Artillery.
finally some cartoon’s
Who's watching this in 2024😢 👇🏻
I am!
Are this in any streaming. My company block youtube, but we have a workaround for most of the streamings...
I miss the cartoon
I read the title and thought it said “Cookie Review” 💀
2:57 my boy got some lungs on him, LIKE DAMN. He does not smoke thats for sure
I snore like that.... no lie... That same exact song
What meaning is Rookie Revue?
I sure wish they could've taken the train
Notice the error at 6:55 he says latitude twice instead of longitude and then latitude
😂😂
5:30 5:31
This Animation was made during WWII, I think. This would be Theatrical release Animation.
Ppppppppppp ffffffff machine guns yeah the old times
Lol 2:08 there is always one

Who were the three guys at 3:01 supposed to be?
idk, but I feel like I saw this a bunch growing up in the 90s
I feel you. With Grandpa in the back. Or walks by during sleeping hours and catches you watching tv then turns it off and says go to sleep.
Suicide squad
Ah troony loones
