Separated At Birth thread?

[larriva9/11]

Wondering why there hasn't been any such thing here. Well, let me start with an obvious one: Elmer Fudd in Corny Concerto + Moby. (Won't post pics, but you can if you wanna.)

[larriva9/11]

Not to mention Droopy > Winston (Hector Heathcote) > Brian (Family Guy)

[Bugs Bunny]

The Pink Panther, Snagglepuss, Cool Cat

A little more recent, but you get my drift:

Dijonnay Jones (Disney Channel's The Proud Family), Tamika (CN's Class of 3000)

Rather appropriately, Bill Clinton and Boner

Natasha Fatale (Jay Ward) and Vampira Hyde (Lantz; from the Inspector Willoughby cartoon HYDE AND SNEAK).

Humphrey Bear (Disney) and Fatso Bear (Lantz; from the Inspector Willougby cartoons when he was a Ranger; anyway, both characters were created by Jack Hannah).

Yogi Bear (Hanna-Barbera) and Windy Bear (Lantz; in fact, both characters were voiced by Daws Butler).

Huey, Dewey and Louie (Disney) and the ducklings with whom Baby Huey wants to play with, but they don´t allow him until he saves them from the clutches of an evil fox.

[larriva9/11]

Tex Avery + Bob Clampett = Peter Griffin + Glen Quagmire

[oceansoul]

Barney Bear and Junyer Bear.

[Cartman]

Barney Bear and Junyer Bear.
I'd say Junyer Bear from the Three Bears series and Junyer from the George and Junyer cartoons would be a better pair.

[J. J. Hunsecker]

Popeye and Alley Oop
Popeye and Mammy Yokum from the Li'l Abner strip (an idea I stole from the MAD parody "Flopeye").

[oceansoul]

I'd say Junyer Bear from the Three Bears series and Junyer from the George and Junyer cartoons would be a better pair.

On personality, yes... But Junyer from the 3 Bears looks pretty muck like Barney.

Barney and Disney's Humphrey would be also a nice pairing.

[oceansoul]

Also, can we count Duck Twacy and Duck Dodgers? :rolleyes: :daffy:

[larriva9/11]

Then there's the late-night idee fixe of Droopy + Joe Lieberman.

A little obvious: Wally Walrus + Dr. Phil...

[Thad]

Separated at birth huh?

Pope Benedict ...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v91/looneythad/Pope.jpg

... and Simon Bar Sinister?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v91/looneythad/SimonBarSinister.jpg

Incredible ain't it?

[J. J. Hunsecker]

Thad, that is uncanny! Great job! Too bad SPY Magazine isn't still around to gainfully employ you.

[oceansoul]

This was disgusting and very offensive. :befuddled

And no, I'm not a catholic, not even religious.

How is it offensive? It's only a comparison of physical characteristics. The Pope does look like Simon Bar Sinister, so I don't see why Thad should be scolded. If the Pope looked like Cary Grant then you'd have a right to complain about Thad's post.

[larriva9/11]

Well, John Paul II + Popeye, then

[larriva9/11]

And to continue the Underdog theme, Britney Spears + Sweet Polly Purebred

Well, I'm not against any discussion about religion or politics in a cartoon board, when it's debated in the proper thread, but definately against any flamebaits (either intentional or not). I was involved partly in a heated discussion about the 9/11 attacks earlier, and learnt my lesson. Please be intelligent enough and don't defend the undefendable. Putting here Benedict's portrait and compare it to a given villain's "physical characteristics" IS offensive, period.


PS: I'm not a fan of Benedict and the Christian (or any) church.

(early) Betty Boop and Bimbo
The President of Dandu Studios and Average Jones
Homer Simpson and Pinto Colvig Voiced Bluto

Joni Mitchell + Bugs as the Tasmanian She-Devil

[Cartman]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the most obvious:

Ralph Wolf and Wile E. Coyote

There was no discussion about religion in Thad's post or my reply. Likewise, Thad's comparison wasn't flamebait: it followed the format of this thread -- famous people who look like cartoon characters. (Haven't you ever read the original "Separated at Birth" articles in SPY Magazine? They made such comparisons all the time. The more incongruous the comparison, the funnier.) It was not offensive or impious in anyway. It's your business if you see it that way. Maybe you think religious leaders should be exempt from humorous observations about their physical appearances, but please don't project some sacrilegious motive on the rest of us if we don't.

Now, I hope we can drop this claim of blasphemy and continue with the rest of this thread.

[larriva9/11]

Lotta Love = Monica Lewinsky (for that matter, Roger Ramjet = Bill Clinton)

I'm really sorry you didn't understand it. Debate is closed from my side.

ON:

Muttley - Precious Pupp

[J. J. Hunsecker]

I'm really sorry you didn't understand it. Debate is closed from my side.
Your snide attitude is uncalled for. I didn't treat you that way in my replies. There is no debate because there was nothing controversial about Thad's post. You simply overreacted and read too much into it.

If you're going to hold Thad to some strange standard of "good taste" then you should be fair and include Matthew Hunter in your diatribe, for his harmless "political" post that mentioned Dick Cheney's resemblance to bumbling hunter Elmer Fudd.

I'm willing to drop the matter if you are.

[larriva9/11]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the most obvious:

Ralph Wolf and Wile E. Coyote

For that matter, the Road Runner and Woody Woodpecker. (Indeed, I'm wondering about the relative chronologies/potential influences btw/the RR and "forward topknot" Woody--could be worthy of a thread in itself.)

Seriously mate, if someone overreacted this, it's you. Are you Thad's bro or something, you are always cheering for everything he does, and defend him like some precious gem. No beef against you, neither against Thad, just it was offensive. Hard to detail why it was, if you don't get it. MatHunter's post wasn't offensive, Thad's was. It's something like comparing Mother Theresa with Witch Hazel. That's it. Please, let's stop this thing now, and steer the thread back to the road.

[jonmayo15]

Not to get involved in this but all we are doing is comparing people and cartoon characters that look alike. That's all.

You say you want to stop this argument and yet you continue it.

Yes, I am Thad's brother. We were separated at birth, hence the title of this thread. Or it could be that I don't like to see people maligned when they are innocent of any wrongdoing. You say the Pope post was offensive and yet you can't even elaborate on why you feel that way.

In the example you've mentioned there would be nothing wrong with comparing Mother Teresa's physical appearance with Witch Hazel, if the two resemble each other. (Just like it wouldn't be offensive to draw an exaggerated caricature of her features.) That wouldn't take away from Mother Teresa's good deeds. Unless you're saying that religious figures are sacred cows and it is heresy to make jokes at their expense?

Ahem. Have a nice day.

[J. J. Hunsecker]

Ahem. Have a nice day.
Thanks for wishing me a nice day! Here's something I thought you might be interested in: it's from the original "Separated at Birth?" by SPY Magazine. As you can see, Thad wasn't the only person to make fun of a Pope's physiognomy.

[J. J. Hunsecker]

Here are 3 more examples from Spy Magazine that deal with the topic of this thread -- people who look like cartoon characters.

It would be a bit problematic if only the Pope and Eichman appeared on the pic (because history). But at this form, nothing is offensive here.

You're not bothered that the Dalai Lama was compared with Jiminy Cricket? That's bad Karma.

My apologies for not catching this thread disintegrating sooner. I guess we've gone too far off-topic and I will be closing it before we get into flamewar territory again. :shame:
