My favorite part of "Nix on Hypnotricks" is the sound effect as a tranced Olive walks--I wonder what was used to make it? Reminded me of that little click a vaccuum-seal button on the top of a pickle jar lid makes if you depress it with your thumb, although I don't know if they had those in the 30's.

Obviously that dwarf with the Captain in "What A Lion!" doesn't know how to properly dress for a safari. Not to mention that atrocious loud pocket-watch of his. Rather stupid and cruel joke of the kids to play, not to mention dangerous.

"The Impractical Joker" gets a lot of play on CN (plus I have it on two PD tapes). One great line in it, though: "Mind if I smoke?" "Don't care if you burn."

I was waiting since October 2000 to see Porky's Prize Pony. They finally showed it! I had completely stopped watching LNB&W, but when I saw that listed here, I had to view part of my tape.

While it was nice to see "Porky's Prize Pony" on LNB&W, it most also be noted that it was edited -- they extended the flag-waving scene as to not show the black stableboys walking the horses to the track. They then show Porky running towards the stables.

Why is that so offensive?:confused:

If it has something to do with black people, it can't get past the censors, even if it isn't a stereotype.
