MOST painful looking action in wb toon

[The Silver Fox]

(first off this excludes willy toons at this time)

what is the most painful part you seen in
a classic WB toon?

[Thad]

Bad Ol' Putty Tat - The recently discussed scene with Sylvester's jowls being ripped out by the rocket.

That's the only particularly painful moment I can think of from Warners. All other painful scenes that have scarred my brain are from MGM or Famous shorts.

[J Lee]

In no particular order, here are my off-the-top-of-my-head picks for most painful scenes from each director:

Jones -- The Coyote having the middle part of his torso machine gunned into atoms in "Beep Prepared".

Clampett -- The iron lung gag from "The Daffy Doc". Honorable mention: The director's cut version of "Hare Ribbin'" when the dog bites into his rabbit sandwich (before the added animation to show he's not amputating Bugs at the hips).

McKimson -- Bugs head lumps from the tunnel wall at the end of "Half-Fare Hare"

Freleng -- Spike being diced and sliced in "Tree for Two"

Avery -- Getting the goose to cough up that pill in "Porky the Rainmaker"

Tashlin -- That stretching routine Bugs goes through in "The Unruly Hare" (OK, to me this is probably more annoying than painful, but the sounds to go with the images always made me grimace at this one).

[Jon Cooke]

I have to mention this scene (http://bosko.toonzone.net/1932/boskos_store/10.jpg) from "Bosko's Store". Ouch!

[Leviathan]

It's probably not the MOST painfuyl scene in a WB cartoon, but i have to mention the scene of Porky having his eyes poked by the cat's tail in KITTY KORNERED (Clampett, 1946).


True, Stooges-style eye-poking is nothing rare in cartoons, but this particuar one makes me blink every time

[Cartman]

In HOMELESS HARE, Hercules rams a steel beam into Bugs' face.:bugs2::eek:

[JPox]

The Foghorn Leghorn cartoon were he hits the cat on the head with the edge of an axe.
-"Who do you think you are, George Washington?"
-Bonk!!
-"hmmph. No cherry trees around here.."
:foggy:

And Porky in Wackyland were the Dodo hits him in the face with the slingshot. Smackk!!
:ham: :dodo:

[mmtper]

In Arthur Davis' Rattled Rooster, a lady rattlesnake and the rooster get trapped a fence knothole in a particularly nasty way (involves golfballs). And in Davis's Bone Sweet Bone, the little dog Shep gets shaped into footballs and basketballs by a big nasty bulldog (Ouch!). And the boxer "Dyspeptic McPlaster" and the wrestler "Ravishing Rollo" may want ot rethink their ring strategy for their rematches against Chuck Jones's "Crusher"...

[Daffysleftfoot]

I have to mention this scene (http://bosko.toonzone.net/1932/boskos_store/10.jpg) from "Bosko's Store". Ouch!

Yeah, pretty much every time Bosko takes one in the taint, I cringe. (But it's a fun cringe. :D )

[cpdavison]

That brief moment when Bugs gets hit on his instep with an ENORMOUS wrench in "Falling Hare" always sets my teeth on edge. I always imagined him hobbling around with a broken foot for the rest of the cartoon.

And, yeah, that Bosko frame grab is pretty gruesome.

...taint?!?!?

[Howard Fein]

TOM TURK AND DAFFY: After :daffy: knocks :ham: out with a mallet, the former attempts to revive the latter by throwing a bucket of water. In midflight, the water freezes into a huge block of ice, which strikes the reviving Pig and knocks him out all over again. ("Heh- colder than a cucumber.")

In that same cartoon, among :daffy:'s attempts to hide Tom is to stuff him into a much-too-small hole with the help of a large stick. ("No- even obviouser.")

Actually there is a frame in "Wabbit Trouble" where Elmer is being chased my a bear, and there is just one frame or two where it looks like the bear has bit Elmer!

Yes! If someone doesn't believe it, here it is:

To me, the ending of "Bye, Bye, Bluebeard" in which Bluebeard eats those bombs and then actually explodes :eek: actually has me cringing (Granted, he had it coming but surely Davis/Marcus could have come up with a more humane way to get rid of Bluebeard than that).

I also am always unnerved by the scene in "Captain Hareblower" where Sam swims underwater with a bomb then is eaten by that fish. The bomb explodes and the fish's skeleton remains from the explosion with Sam trapped in its ribcage (This gag was also reused in the Roland and Rattfink cartoon, "War and Pieces").

I also can't bring myself to watch "An Itch in Time" because I spent the whole cartoon empathizing with that poor dog (the flea attacks him with pickaxes, drills, and explosives) and the scene in "Birdy and the Beast" where Tweety drops a match inside the cat's mouth, then uses gasoline to put out the flames followed by a huge explosion has to be one of the most painful scenes in cartoon history (Though, thankfully, Clampett at least didn't show the results of the explosion until the cat's next apperances where he appears to have recovered slightly sporting only a few bandages).

[Daffysleftfoot]

...taint?!?!?



That's the part of a man's anatomy right between the (;)) and the (:eek: ).

Anyway, another painful (therefore delicious) gag is in Aint She Tweet (by Friz Freleng c. 1952). The part where Sylvester sneaks into a package just delivered by the postman which turns out to be full of dog food. Granny takes into her yard where those dozens of bulldogs are hungry. She then just throws the box off camera and walks into the house as we hear the dogs devouring the contents (that is what they think is dog food but is actually Sylvester).

Great stuff. :D

[Marty26]

Pretty much the whole ending for Long Haired Hare where the Hollywood Bowl collapses on Giovanni, he dazedly gets back up to take a last bow, and then Bugs finally "finishes him off."

Also, the ending for Leghorn Swaggled where Foghorn Leghorn is knocked out by Barnyard Dog (at which the sound effect for his knock-out is an engine running out of gas) is a little unnerving.

[frizfrelengfan]

The end of "Little Red Riding Rabbit" when Bugs forces Red to straddle the fire while holding a HIGH stack of heavy items. But she got what she deserved for being so obnoxious during the entire short!

[J. B. Warner]

Also, the ending for Leghorn Swaggled where Foghorn Leghorn is knocked out by Barnyard Dog (at which the sound effect for his knock-out is an engine running out of gas) is a little unnerving.

Actually, I find that anytime Treg Brown's "sputtering hydraulics" sound effect is used to compliment a character's unconsciousness (see also "The Wearing of the Grin" and "The Hare-Brained Hypnotist"), it makes the gag all the more hilarious. You can't beat incogruous sound effects for physical injury - helps to take the edge off, IMO.

As for gags that I find painful, I'll nominate the scene in "Little Red Riding Rabbit" with the wolf being saddled with all those blunt objects while poised precariously over a shovelful of hot coals - the strain must be murder. There's also a Road Runner cartoon (can't recall which one off the top of my head) where the Road Runner kicks into high gear and shoots away, Wile E. Coyote skids to a stop, and his eyes fall out and bounce onto the pavement. Even as a kid, that made me go "eeugh".

Well, now, that just "taint" funny. :D :p ;)

ouch that looks painfull

another no one mentioned, the one were
the Opera singer hits that high C and keeps it going
for quite a long time, as bugs conductucts, that looked painful

Also aren't there some WB toons if memory serves me right that had teeth or fillings pulled.

[doctoon]

I have always winced at seeing Baby Bugs slap around Baby Elmer in THE BIG SNOOZE (1946), either because of their youth or because of the loud piano key sound Treg Brown uses to accompany the slaps.

[JAGBugs10]

The most painful action I've seen in a WB cartoon was in "Sinking in the Bathtub":bosko: :honey: . It was when :bosko: was sliding down a mountain on his chin:shame:.That was soooooooooooooo painful:eek: :eek:!

JAGBugs10:scrooge:

[The Silver Fox]

Ouch!!!

[Speedy's_Gal]

I would say out of the cartoons I've seen I thought falling in Gruesome Twosome when the cats are falling to earth and hit it I thought "Oww that would hurt!" Also when the cat jumps over the brick wall and hits the pan.

[The Silver Fox]

was trying to remember, was there any
wb toons were a character had there teeth or fillings removed forcefully, i couldn't remember.

Well, there's the scene in "Buckaroo Bugs" where Bugs the robber forcefully removes everything gold or silver from Red Hot Ryder's person by using a strong magnet... including Red Hot Ryder's gold and silver teeth fillings (Ouch!!!).

Now that sounds Painful, i forgot that .
sounds like Red Hot ryder got totalled cleaned when
he was held up, and that magnet sounded powerful.
