Welcome back to the show.
We now review a new laser disc just released to home video.
It's called The Best of Looney Tunes,
and it contains such favorites as Bugs Bunny,
Daffy Duck and Porky Pig.
Let's take a look.
Wabbit twacks.
♪ Kill the wabbit ♪
Kill the wabbit?
That's strange.
All of a sudden I don't quite feel like myself.
Oh, I feel all right. And yet I-- I, uh--
[SCREAMS]
[STUTTERING] Are you really the last of the dodoes?
Yes, I'm really the last of the dodoes.
[SINGING SCAT]
[BOTH LAUGHING]
[IMITATING DODO]
[AS DAFFY DUCK] That's despicable.
♪ Catch-a the wabbit ♪
It's so funny.
HISSKILL: I have to stop laughing.
I'm gonna throw up.
[HISSKILL & EGGBERT CONTINUE LAUGHING]
They love it, Aunt Slappy.
Yeah, yeah. Enough Bugs Bunny already.
When are they gonna show clips from my cartoons?
I mean, I'm supposed to be in this laser beam
doohickey, thingamajig here somewhere, right?
Yeah, there I am.
Look at my head.
They're just saving the best for last, Aunt Slappy.
A little heroine worship never hurt nobody.
Yep, this is perhaps the best compilation
of Warner cartoons ever.
Unfortunately, it also includes cartoons
featuring the only Warner's character that we actually hate.
The terribly unfunny Slappy Squirrel.
[IN UNISON] What?
Codger, have you ever laughed at a Slappy Squirrel cartoon?
Never. She repulses me.
I mean, she's just not funny.
She never made a funny cartoon in her life.
Oof!
Let's face it, Slappy Squirrel is without a doubt
the unfunniest cartoon character
in the history of animation.
Oof!
So to the collection of Warner cartoons,
we both give an enthusiastic
"toes up."
But to the cartoons of Slappy Squirrel
we both give a big, smelly "toes down."
And that's our show.
I'm Lean Hisskill.
And I'm Codger Eggbert.
Till next time, the balcony is ours.
[GROANS]
Those mean men.
How could they say such horrible things?
Now, Skippy, it's a free country.
Everyone's entitled to his own opinion.
But they're wrong.
You're the funniest cartoon character ever.
Calm down, Skippy.
We can't let 'em get away with it, Aunt Slappy.
Let's go get 'em.
Skippy, no. What are you thinkin'?
Oh, you're right, Aunt Slappy.
We'll need the big bombs.
That's better, kid.
Come on, let's blow 'em to kingdom come.
Yay!
[♪♪♪]
Now, here's today's lesson, Skippy.
If you wanna go on national TV
and shred someone's career to pieces,
you have the right.
Right.
But when you do that, remember:
Don't go listin' your home address in the phone book.
A lesson well-learned.
[LAUGHING]
The home of Hisskill and Eggbert
unexpectedly exploded today.
But happily, the two famous movie critics
were away on business having their legs waxed.
It's sad, really.
And tonight, they'll both be attending the gala premiere
of Steven Spielberg's new blockbuster movie.
Skippy, feel like takin' in a flick?
Well...
Come on, it'll be fun.
Okay.
[♪♪♪]
Well, hi. Mary Hartless here
at the movie event of the year.
An invitation-only affair for Hollywood's cultural elite.
Tickets, please, for Hisskill and Eggbert.
Hisskill and Eggbert, Hisskill and Eggbert.
Uh, nope, not on the list.
We have invitations, miss.
Yeah, who doesn't?
Listen, you're not on the list, pally boy,
so take a hike, okay? Next!
Do you know who we are?
We're Hisskill and Eggbert,
world-famous movie critics.
Our review could make or break this film.
We demand to be let in.
Oh, in that case, a thousand pardons.
Let me personally show you to your seats.
That's better.
Your seats are right here.
Bon voyage-y.
[FIREWORKS CRACKLING]
Well, what do ya know?
Their names were on the list after all.
Oops.
[LAUGHING]
Tickets, please. Tickets.
Tickets, please.
Hey, look, there's been an error.
We don't have tickets, but you have to let us in.
Persistent little buggers, ain't they?
Sorry, sir.
No ticket, no movie.
Now, listen, you little brat, we're goin' in there.
Aye-ya!
No way.
Okay, kid, listen.
We'll pay ya to let us in.
No, that would be bribery.
Oh, come on, please? How much?
We made it!
HISSKILL: We're inside! Hooray!
Nice work, Skippy.
You just paid for your college education.
College, nothin'.
I'm goin' to Vegas.
Get me Siegfried and Roy's autograph, would ya?
Hurry up, Codger. Wait.
I just need to get a quick snack.
May I help you,
or did the Goodyear blimp just land?
Ha, ha.
Give me a large tub of popcorn, and hurry.
There you go, Shamu.
You want artificial butter flavoring on that?
Sure.
All right then.
Does it cost extra?
Artificial butter?
Nah, it's cheap stuff.
Really? What's it made of?
Ah, it's just lard
that I'm liposuctioning out of your gut.
Ew! Ick!
Hey, pal, that'll be 7.50.
It's about time. The movie's starting.
Where's the balcony, kid?
Upstairs, duh.
Come on.
HISSKILL: I hope we haven't missed the opening credits.
[IN UNISON] Aaagh!
[BOTH SCREAMING]
Okay, who's the wise guy that moved the balcony?
[LAUGHING]
HISSKILL: There he is.
Why you incorrigible little brat.
There's no balcony up there.
Excuse me, I'm the manager.
Is there a problem?
Yes! We wanna be shown to our seats.
Immediately!
All right, sir, but I'm afraid the only remaining seats
are in the front row.
Fine. We don't care.
Just take us there. Now!
Right this way.
There ya go.
Enjoy the movie.
[WHISPERING] Very lifelike.
And the special effects are astounding.
[SCREAMING]
Ready, aim, fire!
[LAUGHING]
So both Aunt Slappy and I
give Steven Spielberg's new film
a great big "toes up."
I love a movie with a happy ending.
[LAUGHING]
[LAUGHTER]
So you see, we were wrong about Slappy Squirrel.
She's funny.
She's the funniest cartoon character of all time.
These guys are finally startin' to talk sense.
Slappy Squirrel, we salute ya.
That is, if we had the ability to move our arms,
we'd salute ya.
And that's our show.
So until next time, the balcony is--
Blown up.
Now, that's comedy.
[♪♪♪]
NARRATOR: Paris, France, 1575.
A time of great social and political unrest.
CROWD [CHANTING]: Down with the king!
The king's popularity was waning,
and there had been numerous threats on his life.
As such, he was a very nervous monarch.
[YELPS]
So the king sought the wisdom of his sage, the soothsayer.
You scared me.
[GASPS]
Gadzooks!
Is there going to be another attempt on my life?
What do you see?
The viper is coming.
The viper is coming tonight at 11:30.
[GASPS] Oooh!
[SHRIEKS]
[WHIMPERING]
You scared me again. Stop it.
Who in France is brave enough to protect me from the viper?
The three musketeers.

I think you've been stood up.
Who are they waiting for?
The Mouseketeers.
Where's Cubby? He's dreamy.
Good heavens, you are the three musketeers.
That is correct. Tell him what he's won, Dottie.
A year's supply of Squeezie Cheeze.
The not-quite-but-almost cheese food in a bottle.
If it's almost food but not quite,
it's Squeezie Cheeze.
Yes, my not-so-royal highness, we are the three musketeers.
All for one and one for all.
And one times 10 divided by two times pi equals--
What's that equal?
Nope.
It's Sweet'N Low.
I must say,
you caught me off guard, musketeers.
I thought for sure you'd make one of your grand entrances.
You mean, like this:
♪ We're the musketeers And we're very proud to say ♪
♪ That through the years ♪
♪ In the face of danger We have run away ♪
♪ But, hey, that's okay ♪
♪ What should you expect With this take-home pay? ♪

♪ Musketeer roll call ♪

Wakkos
d'Otagnan
♪ Now we'll carve our initials ♪
♪ In your rears ♪
♪ 'Cause we are The three musketeers ♪
Is that the kind of entrance you meant?
Yes.
We don't do those anymore.
You three remind me of a very young
Yippee, Yappee, and Yahooey.
I have no idea what that meant.
Musketeers, you must help me.
I fear the presence of a horrifying viper
in my chamber tonight at 11:30.
You must protect me.
Say no more.
Oh, thank you. Thank you.
No, really, stop talking. Your breath really smells.
This is my bedroom.
Let us go in first and make sure it's safe.
All right.
You'd let a poor, defenseless girl
go in that dark room with who-knows-what
lurking in the shadows?
What kind of man are you?
Well, I--
YAKKO & WAKKO: Tsk, tsk, tsk.
I'm sorry. What was I thinking?
You stay here, little lady,
and I'll make sure my room is safe.
[♪♪♪]
Is it safe?
[YELPS]
Well, king, looks like the coast is clear.
Really? How can you be sure?
See for yourself.
[COUGHING]
Time for your bedtime snack.
Oh, goody.
Wait. It could be tainted
with some horrible disfiguring poison.
I'll test it.
Faboo.
[GASPS]
It was poisoned.
No, just mayonnaise.
[BURPS]
BOTH: Spew.
[YAWNS]
I grow weary.
We grow azaleas.
I believe I shall retire.
For 20 years of dedicated service
we celebrate your retirement with this gold watch.
Why, thank you.
I never expected--
YAKKO: It's been swell.
DOT: Have a good life.
WAKKO: Eat plenty of fiber.
♪ We're in charge ♪
I am the king.
Oh, wasn't that nice.
I always wanted a gold watch.
Wait a minute.
Enough of this frivolity.
You should be protecting me.
And I should be asleep.
You're just upset
'cause we've got a candy bar named after us and you don't.
Kingiepoo want a lullaby?
That would be nice.
