He's childlike in his mental knowledge He's childlike in his mental knowledge Though he spent 4 years in college Still he's childlike in his knowledge And we agree he's guilty as can be Guilty! Guilty! Though he went through college He's childlike in his knowledge He's guilty, wa-wa-wa!
Oh my god I’ve been searching for this cartoon for years! I thought I dreamt this whole up but holy crap I can’t believe it thank you so much for uploading this! I remember it was part of a VHS I had a lot of old cartoons including a lot of the flights your superman cartoons!!
Same dawg I was starting to think I made it up. I watched this when I was probably 5 at my grandma’s house and that baby scene fucked my head up so much don’t ask me why
The most traumatic part is that those elves took the father to their dimension. As traumatic as this cartoon seems. The father's anger reflects perhaps of him being a lonely, single father. His negative view of everything can be a reflection of his wife leaving him for another man. Leaving her son to her husband for him to care for.
When I was little I often went to my grandparents' house, and this cartoon used to air on TV on some private networks a lot. Back then I couldn't understand a single word (I'm Italian) and now... well, with this audio mixing is just marginally better. lol I've got to say, I didn't remember it being pretty much a musical, and I sure didn't know it was supposed to be an ad. Still, it's nice to see this again after all these years. Brings memories back.
I had this on a dvd collection of old cartoons, I was confused as to why they mentioned massaging teeth so much, it wasn't until now that I learned that this was a TOOTHPASTE COMMERCIAL.
A last, a complete version with the Ipana ad restored. Sweet! I do have the black & white silent version on 8mm with different opening and closing title sequence, because it was a 1941 home release.
Yo! I’ve been looking for this cartoon for 10 years! Always sung the song trying to figure out where the hell this came from… ughh my memory is complete now
I like the part at 4:07 where the dwarf like figures take him away. After all that father deserves it since he's worse than Butters' parents from South Park.
What on earth does the elf say at 5:38??? It's haunted me for years. Also, I laughed at the fact that a great rapper used one of the strangest parts of this cartoon as a sample. Warms my heart
It’s been so long since I last saw this cartoon when I was still just a kid, and during that time, I didn’t give much or any thought about what I was watching.
I mean, after all, it was a cartoon, and to me, that was good enough for me to watch it no matter whether that was on television or VHS since it helped pass the time and kept me from being bored most of the time.
Ok.... I've known this cartoon since I was like six, and to this day I still don't know what the moral of the story was... Was it to let kids be kids? Take care of your gums? Be a regular fella? SOMEONE TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
any and all forms of art are for the person viewing it to construct their own opinion and ideas of what the purpose of its creation truly is. I personally believe it's a cartoon doing it's best in its day and age to try and show the process of what happens to an abusive father's soul after they died. Their children won't sentence them to hell, they will sentence them to be reborn as a child. It happened to this man in a dream and when he woke up instead of beating the dog or the child, he saw and experienced the end result of his ways and decided to be a better man. The use of gnomes, elves, and mushrooms on the child's back wall painting in his bedroom has always since the dawn of mankind's conscious has been used to indicate that there are drugs in play, as one wouldn't naturally come to this conclusion mentally, the gnomes literally say as much "he's gone to college, he is an educated man, compared to his son he is a mental giant, he has the knowledge akin to a being of far greater knowledge and reach then the boy or the dog but he still operates that of a young boy. Violent without any self-control or personal recognization of his actions and behaviors. If this is the way he acts, he should be sent back in time to experience the error of his ways." Babys aren't violent, they are accidentally suicidal because they know no better, but they aren't knowingly violent. And we see that even in the gnome reality the ground opens up and swallows him, he travels the pathway to a hellish landscape where time/death is operating a machine and he actively walks backward to set the rewind in process. Honestly, this is all pretty straight forward, it's not a complicated logical jump to make you just have to understand the connections the cartoon is POTENTIALLY making. It could be my interpretation is miles off from the truth, but that's my interpretation, it doesn't have to be ultimately true or right, that's the freedom of your interpretation, it's yours and yours alone, the thing is can you accurately argue and make a valid point to stand on. If you have no understanding of what this cartoon COULD be about. That is totally and perfectly fine... forget about it and move on. One day if for some reason you see or experience something that returns you to this very comment or video... you'll probably honestly be laughing just thinking about it.
@@richardholman4092 seriously thank you for this comment. ever since i was a kid this cartoon had been haunting me to this day. probably since i was such a small kid i probably judged that THIS was where infants came from.
@@richardholman4092 Thank you. I agree that this is subjective and conceptual -- the viewer brings her or his own perspective to it. Mine is pretty close to yours, except I thought the elves and gnomes might be real and his experience was in the mythological world, like Faerie (e.g. what Tolkien talks about in "On Fairy-Stories"), drugs didn't occur to me. However, there is a form of LSD psychotherapy where you think back to not only your infancy, but try to re-experience or remember *before and during* birth. And hopefully this helps you with insight and self-understanding in your everyday life and may even help with certain kinds of stress related illness. I may show it to someone I know that has more of the background on that, see what he thinks.
No, but they punish him for a small detail such as misplacing the Hamburger Helper because they themselves couldn't bother to read what they had in their hand. And also there was that time the Mother nearly drowned Butters in her car.
@@harrykezelian8009 I wouldn't know but I feel like I somehow got the cartoons in a similar way like at the grocery store or rented the vhs at local shops
I have so *many* questions... 1. Why is a public school teaching kids about scrubbing their gums? 2. Why does the dad have a Hitler moustache? 3. Why isn't that abusive fuck in jail already? 4. What is up with that trippy troll sequence? 5. Why is a toothpaste commerical also advertising Ice Cream sundaes? 6. How is *any* of this supposed to sell toothpaste?
I remember that my parents had this on vhs -- It actually was in the cartoon. I haven't seen this cartoon in about a decade, but J remembered it vividly. It must have been a product placement...
i have been looking for this for 3 months and i just googled "man turns into baby 1900s animation" and just happened to find a reddit post about it heh i thought it was a fever dream
I searched it for MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS. Saw it once on an Italian local TV channel and never more. The youth machine scene made me a strange and scary impression, even though it could be connected to more of the hideous behaviours we see nowadays. The fact that I rediscovered it during these hours of bad luck what should mean?
My sister had this on VHS with other shorts; a little corny by the standards of today, but this was entertainment; today's parents would ban this cartoon, because they would see it as setting bad examples and it's non educational; get over it snowflakes, this is 10 times better than the crap you let your kids watch today....
