Bluto Did It!

[Muzzawhy]

Can you identify the POPEYE cartoon where Popeye is hypnotized (if I remember correctly) and walks around repeating "Bluto Did It...Bluto Did It...)?

Thanks

Popeye was hypnotized in THE HYPNO-TISK, but I don't recall him saying "Bluto did it" in that cartoon.

The "Bluto did it!" line is from "Out to Punch", when Popeye, in a flashback to his childhood, makes a frog say that line so Olive knows that "Bluto did it" (Bluto put a frog in Olive's ice cream and blamed it on Popeye)

I always loved that Famous Studios "frog" sound effect (also heard in Little Lulu's Birthday Party). "Barrruurrp"!

[frizfrelengfan]

I don't know the Famous "frog" sound effect, but the frog sound in the famous (with a small "f") "One Froggy Evening" makes me laugh every time I hear it. It is perfectly timed.

It's Olive who is hypnotized in THE HYP-NO-TYST, not Popeye. There is not line, "Bluto did it." She is hynotized in NIX ON HYPNO TRICKS, and is sleep walking as in A DREAM WALKING. In both of these cartoons, while following after Olive, Popeye is knocked unscious and for a short while walks around sleep walking. But he is not hypnotized. THE BALMY SWAMY is a 1949 Famous Studios remake of THE HYP-NO-TYST, and again, it is Olive who is hypnotized.

As for the Famous frog sound effect in the Little Lulu cartoon A CAD AND CADDY, it was a dry sounding, "hheeerrr-oook" with a throat vibratto. The effect in ONE FROGGY EVENING was more of low register "mmbaaaahrgh" like rubbing against a balloon, an inner tube, or leather cushion. :sailor:

To be completely accurate, the "Bluto did it" frog was not in Out to Punch (the one about a Bluto-Popeye boxing match) but in Lunch with a Punch (the one about Popeye telling his nephews about his boyhood so they'll eat their spinach). The titles are pretty similar so it's an easy mistake.:)

I generally don't think highly of the Paramount/Famous cartoons, but that frog was pretty cool:cool:

And adding to the quest for completeness and accuracy, the line was "Bluto DONE IT!":sailor:

Actually, it is "Bluto did it". I checked my tape.

[Ray Pointer]

Sorry, but the line IS "Bluto done it." The sequence goes as follows.

MEDLS Young Bluto hides the frog in an ice cream cone that POPEYE is hiding behind his back. He is about to offer it to Olive.

POPEYE

"Hold out your hand, and close your eyes...you're going to get a big surprise."

MED Popeye hands Olive the ice cream. She takes it, starts to like the ice cream and the frog hops out belching in her face. She screens and balls out Popeye. She then lets Bluto walk her home.

MEDLS Low Angle Popeye sits at the curb pondering.

POPEYE

"A frog in an ice cream cone. Now who coulda done it?"

Frog hops in
FROG

"Bluto done it! Bluto done it!"

Popeye grabs the frog, and rushes after Bluto and Olive, stopping in front to explain.

MLS Popeye stops Bluto and Olive.

POPEYE

"Wait a minute, Olive, he'll tell ya I didn't done it."

MEDCU Frog in cone in Olive's face

Frog

"Bluto done it, Bluto done it!"

Unless someone has redubbed this to be "grammatically" correct, your television speaker is misleading you. This is the way the dialog has always been in the cartoon.:sailor:

The frog says "Bluto Did It" 4 times in the version showing on Boomerang.
Popeye's the one with the grammar problem.

Never mind, Banned Bunny. You know what you've heard, and I remember it the same way, but you'll never get anywhere arguing the point with The Expert. :rolleyes:

Actually, if you listen carefully it does sound like "done it"...

The version I grew up with, broadcast in New York in the late '60's-'70's, always sounded like "Bluto did it". Which made sense to me, as I always thought froggies said "rrred-dit, rrred-dit" (or rib-bit, rib-bit, depending on what neighborhood the frog came from). This does not mean that there aren't prints out there with "Bluto done it!'" As we know, there are alternating versions and revisions of the classic cartoons out there. I was raised on a version of "Bugs Bunny Rides Again" where Yosemite Sam declares he's the roughest, toughest he-man hombre to ever cross the Rio Grande, and he don't mean Mahatma Ghandhi!" Imagine my surprise years later to find Cartoon Network broadcasting a revised version where Sam's line is changed to "and I ain't no namby-pamby!":ysam: Personally, I prefer Ghandhi.

Wow! Did you slow Banned Bunny's down, or is this another version of the same 'toon? It still sounds like "did it" to me, (or possibly "din it"), but this does make it more a matter of re-interpretation, or a redubbed cartoon.

I Most Definitely Think It Was "bluto Did It " !

The Links Posted For Audio Sound Extremely Slow And Sounds Nothing Like The Frog's Voice As I Recall. Does Anyone Out There Have The Legitimate Clip Of "bluto Did It " !

IF IN FACT IT IS "BLUTO DONE IT" DOES ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE THIS CLIP AT NORMAL SPEED ? I AM DYING TO HEAR IT !

[Ray Pointer]

This was a thread that was considered a closed issue four months ago. There simply is nothing to doubt. The line is "Bluto done it," as explained in great detail. The intentional grammatical error is also repeated by Popeye when he tries to explain the ice cream prank set up by Bluto.

Again, as outlined in detail before, Popeye sits on the curb. Popeye says, "A frog in an ice cream cone. Now who coulda done it?" Frog: "Bluto done it, Bluto done it." Popeye grabs the frog and rushes up to Olive explaining, "Here Olive, he'll tell ya I didn't done it." Frog: Bluto done it, Bluto done it."

The track has certainly been clear enough for me to have understood this for the 45 years that I 've seen the cartoon on the air, so I believe this is all a "done deal." :sailor: :tweety:
