A Tale of Two Kitties - 1942 

Next to "How old is she?" in the Big Snooze greatest WB cartoon joke ever!

Catstello: HEY, BABBIT!!! OH, BABBIT!!! BABBIT!!! Babbit: What’s the matter now? Catsello: I’m afraid of the dark. Babbit: Well, I’ll let you out then. (Funny dialogue)

@@thaitemple1807 If the Hays board would allow it I'd give him the bird alright!!!!

The middle finger lmao

The Animaniacs rehashed the joke in their thanksgiving episode. Pilgrim: Give me the bird! Yakko: We’d love to, but the Fox censers won’t allow it.

I think it's called Put out those lights!!!

@@Patrick4959 It is.

6:24-6:28 *Tweety:* _(yelling)_ *_TURN OUT THOSE LIGHTS!!_*

All lights go out and cartoon ends

@@Patrick4959 mandela effect dude just like tweety saying tat when it’s cat

Tedd Pierce did an great job imitating Abbott in these shorts as well.

There's nobody like Mel...

He almost sounds like Daffy Duck.

Indeed. Billy West comes close.

That really isn’t fair.

😂😂 ill never forget

Oh I’ll never forget 😂😂😂

That's basically half his dialogue.

@@wiktorshowtime8242 Thanks!

@@michaeljavier870 Thanks!

I sometimes quote this if I am watching a film with a lot of action scenes. 😂

Smart Cat, isn't he?

Babbot!

That's how the real Abbot and Costello were

Babbet and Catstello appeared in later shorts as different species

You’re right! I can’t think of the name of the cartoon, but they did appear as mice in it, doing battle with the house cat, and the other one was ”Hollywood Canine Canteen” where you saw them as dogs for a short moment. Not sure if there were any others, though. 😃👍

​@@johnrowley3721they appear as mice in "A Tale of Two Mice" and "The Mouse-Merized Cat"

@@wakiloon Thanks for that! I was wanting to know the names of those cartoons. Appreciate your reply! 😃👍

I agree with you! Sinking the whole prairie with one anvil. And the use of airbrush to blurr Catsello on his 20 foot drop from the barn rooftop. Exagerrated into a 2,000 foot drop, of course I just wish they wouldve used Tedd Pierce to voIce characters more often. I really enjoy him here as Babbit. Shame on you, Mel! You shouldve asked for the other actors to work opposite you more often!

well I'll let you out then...

Flips the hatch and the fat cat skyrockets into the air. Bounces above Tweety’s nest (Tweety was initially known as Orson in this short) twice, Tweety says: “I taut I taw a puddy tat!” The cat bounces up again, Tweety says: “I did! I taw a puddy tat!” The cat bounces up once more, Tweety bats him on the head, the cat defends himself the best he can, only for tweety to crash him again onto the ground. Tweety says: “Oh, the poor puddytat! He cwushed his widdle head!” And puts a mischievous smile on his face.

What’s a matter now?

@@muntadherthabit9641 I’m afraid of the dark.

I guess they called it THE BIRD even in the 40's

My mom had to explain that to me.

Holy cow, I never caught that line before. Pure genius.

@@Himaryous what do you mean what did she say to you? I found this kind of word he says from the hidden dirty jokes on cartoons

@@shaunamunoz-cacho6329 The Hays Office was a movie industry entity that dictated morality guidelines for Hollywood movies. They prevented explicit sex scenes and foul language, bad guys getting away with their crimes, and so on. According to Wikipedia the industry censored itself to avoid government censorship.

I also was watching these when I was also 5, except I'm 31.

I got you all beat... I'm 53!

Okay Debbie wins, but thank you Bevin for making me feel not old. XD

I was 3-4 when I saw this, and I’m 31.

Same but i was 8 and im 23 now

The kids didn't get the joke. It was aimed at the adults.

I saw this in a collection DVD, i never knew that was the first time he said it

That right in 2:53 marks the debut of tweety bird

@@Papohawkiscool11No.2 thank you for saying the exact same thing I said, captain obvious

@@matteocaiti4878Why does Tweety not have any feathers, here?

@@abnowacky that's not Tweety. That's Orson, his prototype.

Well he is kinda pink so yeah id say he hatched

He wasn't called tweety he was called orson

Just on the model sheet

@@slixqkrowd4669 yeah, kinda like Bugs Bunny used to be Happy Hare xD

​​@@slixqkrowd4669 Tweety was originally called Tweety pie.

You didn’t have rewind on remotes back then??

@@okjeffy6581 It was on a video tape that we lost track of, so I had to find it on the internet.

Acrophobia is actually the fear of heights.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Mars

If the Hays Office would let me, I'd give him the bird, all right!

This bird? 🖕 P.S. that's a joke

@@LOLMAN9538 *whistles*

[ wind blow ] brrrrr!

BABBIT! BABBIT!

Does Abbot and Costello count

Due to this cartoon being in the public domain, making the characters public domain as well, you can do that.

there's The Abbot and Costello Show tho

He’s “WHERE Is He that get THAT stUff!?

"Is there an insurance salesman in the house?" 😂

4:11 the train recover by spitfire

Aiw waid! Wights out! Totaw bwackout! Bweak it up puddy tats bweak it up! Aiw waid! Wights out! Totaw bwackout!

@@TheKeyboardKing1 Hey! Now's Out Chance, Come On! (T E E T H S)

@@somerandomfan2012 "TURN OUT THOSE LIGHTS!!!"

this was also used in who framed roger rabbit

Currently but unless copyright laws change, later this century the rest of Tweety's shorts will join this one by 2060. When it would be 95 years plus 1 since his last short was released. Currently you have to wait til 2040 before his next short hits public domain.

Well if only one Tweety short can be viewed by everyone without restriction, I'm happy it's his very best short.

Birdy and the beast in 2040

that part is hilarious xD besides Tweety's famous line, there's also all that frantic slapstick jAjJjJJajJa

Yeah this mark tweety first appearance

Because it has more heart and soul! Unlike the modern cartoons that are robotic and lifeless.

@@ComradeRagdoll Add also having to be Politically Correct and Health Minded. I remember witnessing "How Dry I am" song, yet, I didn't become an Alcoholic. Oh, sure, I like Beer . . . but I didn't drink to the point that I hurt people or myself. Did I witness cartoons that seem violent and derogatory towards women? Sure did. But I didn't become a Domestic Abuser and abhor the concept of women even getting hit in the first place. Did I see countless Looney Toons cartoons (of the 60s & 70s) where they smoked a Cigarette? Definitely. Did I become a Smoker? I have a Cigar during celebratory events at least once a year. But did I really invest in the Marlboro Man or Camel? Nope. And finally, did I witness the scantily clad dress of certain cartoon characters that borders on Victoria Secret Models? Oh, most definitely. But I didn't look at it as Women being a Object or any sort of disrespect in any way, shape or form. If anything? My wife of 33+ years appreciates the fact that I give input in how she dresses. The problem? Too many Hall Monitors that have to complain just to say they complained. Or? The ones that became problems with Alcohol or Tobacco addiction? Maybe they decided on their own to do that and can't take accountability in making those decisions instead blame an entity that was meant for entertainment and not a Guide to how Life should be.

They came back as mice a few years later.

Then dogs

Or they just didn’t notice.

All while not doin' shit 😂

Tweety's grin at the end was the perfect way to end that scene.

Hatching Tweety was savage 😂😂

Tweety first appearance was a tale of two kitties

@@Papohawkiscool11No.2 yep

Lucky

Lucky you. I'd be dying of laughter during that bit if they showed this at my school 🤣

Don't forget Tedd Pierce who voiced Babbitt.

04:09 This witty pitty went to maket. This witty pitty tayed home. This witty pitty had woast beef. Well whada you know? I wan out of pitties.

@@taylorandvinettehardin Tweety's face after the cat falls: 😏

In this cartoon his name is Orson not Tweety he didn't have that name yet

​@@taylorandvinettehardin04:09 BABBIIIIIIIT BABBIIIIIIIT BABBIIIIIIIT

I didn’t know Tweety was a WWII veteran

He was an "air raid warden" when he made the call. 😉
