The History of Wacky Races 

And on Cartoon Network in da 90’s

I did remember watching Hanna-Barbera in years of 2001 I think 😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤

@@taylorthorpe1875 0:31 A tnt explodes from the spin-off.

I saw it first time around in the late sixties/early seventies... Showing me age now...

Heh...I watched it in 1969 when it was NEW...LOL

Yes, indeed. Rest in peace, Janet. 😃

(I will remember youuuuuuu) Honestly, I got so sad when I searched her up and found that she died. Rest In Peace, Janet, you are gone but never forgotten.

Vincent Frankli

God bless her soul.

(muttley laughs)

That's because he was indeed based on him. Dick was also based on British actor Terry Thomas.

How is your dog now?

3:12: I think this is proof enough that they were basing the show on something? They did say that they're not trend senders.

Do you remember a cereal that was actually based on this cartoon with the character’s as well? I remember it tasted just like the 70s and 80s era cereal (Golden Grams) a gram cracker flavored cereal.

These kind of depicted situations go back at least as far as the Keystone Kops....and they probably ripped off the ideas from somewhere else.

...OR: "Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines Or How I Flew From London To Paris In 25 Hours 11 Minutes"...ANOTHER 1965 flick

@@mattchase6719 also Monte Carlo or bust which is similar

Saw this cartoon when I was 11 in 1995 on Cartoon Network 🍰

@@only257 I having a reboot on Boomerang

Dat? You mean That.

I love this show as a kids use to watch it every time when it come on

Bowl of cereal or pop-tarts.

Fun fact, a good chunk of the team responsible for the Coyote shorts worked in Wacky Races.

Lies lies lies! 😂

@@rudymalone1 uhh,its true,shes gone its not a lie lol

@@pianicata4that's because you believe everything you read on the internet!

@@rudymalone1 what do ya mean,she really did passed out in 2016

How many times do I have to that Janet waldo's still alive according to DirecTV you idiot/knucklehead! Now stop believing everything you read on the internet before I shut down your RU-vid account!!

Wait really

He he he he he!

It certainly wouldn't surprise me. Their resemblance is uncanny!

Andrew Crumb I think they did a pilot for a revival, and in the pilot, Penelope Pitstop and Peter Perfect we're married and had two kids! I think it was called Wacky Races Forever!

That's right. And I saw that myself.

FTL Captain I'm more partial to the Anthill Mob's Bulletproof Bomb and Patton Pending's Convert-a-Car.

ereFTL Captain LOL Here comes Eskimo Joe Driving his dog powered Yukon cruiser .sled with wheels , with big strong female dogs ,which would be a running gag with Muttley

rgd963 Ooh, a fellow OC driver, eh? Mine's the Russian driver Rolf D. Ingenbottom and his shovel-weaponed Son of a Shepherd.

joinmarch76 lol

+FTL Captain: As a kid, I had the off-the-wall idea of adding The Batmobile and K.I.T.T. just to mess with Dick Dastardly and Muttley.

Matt Thornton Actually, I thought about that. But instead of just having it be a movie, how about an animated movie in the style of the show. Here's how I see it: Charlie Adler as Lazy Luke, Private Meekly and Dick Dastardly Frank Welker as Muttley, Sawtooth, Blubber Bear and Gravel Slag John DiMaggio as Rock Slag and Rufus Ruffcut Tress MacNiel as Penelope Pitstop Rick May as Sgt. Bash Bill Farmer as Patton Pending and Ring-a-Ding Dan Castellanetta as Clyde (the above Ring-a-Ding and Clyde are part of the Anthill Mob) Jeff Bennett as the Narrator and Peter Perfect

+Matt “Spider-Matt” Thornton I like that idea. But in the spirit of the show, i think every actor/ess should have to play all the characters thatre linked by original voice actor

+Matt “Spider-Matt” Thornton That would be so great to have a Wacky Races movie! Let's pray real hard that it will happen but I doubt it will because the original show was on for such a short time and may not be considered a classic.

it's not a movie but a reboot of wacky races is coming, I betcha it's going to crap and gonna be ruined. Good thing its only on boomerang but still they're gonna ruin it!

and whoopi goldberg as Mutley

That’s rude

Wait'll Professor Pat Pending gets a load of The Autobots!

The original transformer!

I thought that omission was very odd too. Maybe it's some weird legal reason they left that out.

Same lol

And Hot!

Same here

No reboot? Check again, starting in 2017 there was/is a reboot of it. Not overly bad, the writing and voices stay pretty true to form, BUT I find it sad they cut it down to only half the original characters/cars, that kind of killed it for me since most of my favorites were the ones to vanish. (The Slag Brothers, Pat Pending, Red Max, Sergeant Blast, Ant Hill Mob, Lazy Luke, and Rufus Ruffcut were all removed for some reason.)

@@TsuladanGaming I can't speak regarding the other characters but Lazy Luke would have been removed since he was driving the Arkansas Chug-a-Bug and would have been demeaning to people from there, especially since in the 1990's in the US we had a President from there.

@@alexisdiva9 Not sure I follow how that would be demeaning. Stereotypes and parody have been used to great effect for comedy and aren't always insulting, it depends a lot on context and whether it's used in a harmful manner.

Really,it's pretty obvious.Paul Winchell was also the original Tigger too.woo hoo hoo hoo

I also never realised that Dick Milhous Dastardly was based on Nixon!

He won 3 actually.

With the exception of Dastardly, every racer came in 1st at least three times.
