Barely Remembered Cartoon Characters

Such as:
Klondike Kat

(xp)
Who I believe was the mortal enemy of a French Canadian mouse named Savoir-Faire with the catchy catchphrase “Savior-Faire eez everywhere!”

Whose comedy French Canadian accent was rivaled only by Larry Storch appearing in an extra role on F Troop as (Agarn’s cousin?) Lucky Pierre whenever he mentioned “The Burglar of Banff” (always with a few extra terminal f’s)

Don’t know from Kwicky Koala!

But I do (barely) remember Quick Draw McGraw.

Top Cat.

Although he was and still is perhaps huge in Mexico as Don Gato.

Arnold Stang doing an imitation of Phil Silvers playing Sergeant Bilko!

Ricochet Rabbit & Droop-a-Long

Tennessee Tuxedo. Voiced by Don Adams!

^now we’re talking!

Augie Doggie

Tooter Turtle is one I really don’t remember, nor his friend King Leonardo.

Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse

The version of Sinbad the Sailor who pulled on his belt to gain super-strength.

holy shit now I know where that nonsense in the Replacements song comes from

Fearless Fly? His glasses gave him superpowers of some kind

lol, what Replacements song is that? xp

in Hold My Life on Tim, there's something like "Drazzle Drone, time for this one to come home"

Signor Rossi

xp Ook Eeek Achoo!

in Hold My Life on Tim, there's something like "Drazzle Drone, time for this one to come home"

Said line is often quoted by early MST3K -- in their formal episode guide, Mike notes Frank knew it came from the cartoon but Mike himself preferred to think of it as being a Mats reference. (Westerberg references occur elsewhere and in one early Mike episode Servo says something about a chaotic scene being like a hootenanny, to which Mike semi sotto voce sings "Hootenanny" in a very obvious nod to said song.)

learn something new everyday

I just learned that Kimba the White Lion is better remembered than I might have thought. (Because of The Lion King?)

Surely EVERYBODY knows Augie Doggie & Doggie Daddy, and Top Cat! Why, they're no most obscure than Quick Draw McGraw!

Who I believe was the mortal enemy of a French Canadian mouse named Savoir-Faire with the catchy catchphrase “Savior-Faire eez everywhere!”

Ha, another MST3K connection, Crow said this a few times!

I have very vague, hazy memories of a weird Huckleberry Finn cartoon that combined live action film with animation.. it seems it actually did exist:

Anyway I give you

Also did Grape Ape ever do anything besides say his name? Proto Groot, that one.

?? Top Cat isn't forgotten at all. He was being used in Halifax bank ads as recently as 2016!

There's loads of awful bottom-tier characters from the DePatie-Freleng back catalogue that used to plague holiday schedules when I was a kid but have since fallen into a cultural memory hole, like Sheriff Hoot Kloot.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyddcYL8IeU

Fangface OTM

Oh I got one for you -- and I'm sure this particular episode isn't offensive in the slightest:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qOLryQAONI

(I somehow caught reruns of this on a local station, I think, in 1980 or so up here in the Bay Area. Very weird.)

that seems more Moldovian that bay area lol

I was speaking to my family last week and I was surprised that they didn't remember some of the rocky & bullwinkle adjacent cartoons or sub-cartoons -- aesop & son, factured fairytales, the aforementioned dudley do-right, sherman & mr peabody.. All of those are so firmly entrenched in my mind.

Wally Gator? I remember Grape Ape by name but not any of his adventures at all.

Huckleberry Hound will never be forgotten, due to his namecheck in Arthur Conley's "God Bless" (written by Jerry Williams Jr) -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kykMF4lAxXI

appropriate that this youtube clip is taken from a copy that sounds like it was severely partied with.

I remember Chilly Willy being shown with Woody Woodpecker- was there another cartoon that would have been shown alongside those two? I feel like I'm forgetting something.

Peter Potamus and his Hippo Hurricane Holler.

Do people know Baby Huey these days?

This one was new to me -- probably not getting much airtime by the time I was born.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spJznoiaTPk

xo Peter Potamus is new to me... i think.

Wally Gator: I vaguely remember the name and can picture him, I think.

With his limited vocabulary, Grape Ape was like an inert Roadrunner, who was already kind of annoying to begin with, so watching Grape Ape was like watching paint peel, like watching grass grow. But Magilla Gorilla anyone? I now have his theme song on the mental turntable.


Tbh I probably preferred Fractured Fairytales and Mr. Peabody and His Boy Sherman to the Moose and Squirrel so definitely didn’t forget them. Send more Edward Everett Horton! Does everyone remember Morbius’s story about him that is burned in my brain or should I provide a link?

I remember Baby Huey but was almost about to forget him for some reason. He was the model, the epitome of a certain type of behavior (I mean well but I seem to always keep making things worse because of my naïveté) and I used to cite as such until I think I started to feel like nobody knew what I was talking about.

There must be a good book about the early decades of classic cartoons, no?
And I'm not sure I know Morbs's story...

A lot of this is subjective: the ones I listed were almost always those I hadn’t seen, talked about or even thought about since the time before I was a teenager which also didn’t seem to be anywhere in sight when my own kids were little. But I’d rather have some false positives then for people to be uptight about posting.

Post by Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius) from Edward Everett Horton C/D S/D?

I saw June Foray (voice of Rocky the Squirrel) at a Museum of Broacasting thing on "Bullwinkle" once, and she said EEH showed up at a recording session wearing the most moth-eaten woolen thing. She marveled at it, and Horton, then in his 70s, beamed "It's my COLLEGE sweater!"

I should sit down and watch a little Spartakus sometime and see how familiar it really is. The striking character designs and their turtle spaceship definitely got into my imagination as a very young child, but it was never "my" show the way the similarly underappreciated and vibey Mysterious Cities of Gold was.

i collected battle beasts, big fan of those toys. Also kinnikuman aka M.U.S.C.L.E.!

Lorre was also the original Le Chiffre, and thus the original Bond villain.

The mention of Andy Panda reminded me of his sidekick Kyrre Kylling, whom I have now googled was called Charlie Chicken in the original:

I was obsessed with this cartoon in eighth grade. The premise was intriguing; the results were closer to G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero meets KISS.

https://blog.duolingo.com/world-character-visemes/

La Petite Parade was a one-off and I never quite forgot it but I don’t know what other threads it works on so here it is.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orX8bDXr28k

a fire-breathing dragonfly (voiced by Frank Welker impersonating Andy Kaufman)

assume 'impersonating Andy Kaufman' means doing the Latka from Taxi voice, but I'd like to imagine that the dragonfly sounded like Kaufman did when he was being interviewed on Letterman or something

i grew up in the absolute pits of saturday morning cartoons. there was "turbo teen". he was a teenager who turned into a car! it was awful. and there was "galaxy high", which was a high school, in _space_! it was also terrible. later some of the hanna barbera shows showed up on the usa cartoon express, and i hated them, hated the snorks and jabberjaw, but "turbo teen" and "galaxy high" were probably worse. have i mentioned this before? i didn't read the whole thread, i don't know if i've posted here before or not.

rushomancy, I wanted to be Turbo Teen. I would pretend to turn into a car and then my hands would become the wheels just like his. And then I wouldn't go anywhere because my hands did not actually become wheels. A little disappointing, but those are the things you learn when you're 5 or whatever.

I don't remember Galaxy High, but when I google image searched it, one of the suggested searches was for Galaxy High Deviant Art, which I'm absolutely never gonna click on.

xxp sadly no it was just the Latka voice

I had never heard of this character until today. His transformation is terrifying.

https://media.tenor.com/K0_SjsZJzWoAAAAd/turbo-teen-transformation.gif

it really is, i don't think i really appreciated the disturbing body horror aspects of "turbo teen" when i was a kid

ok, i looked it up, turns out it was one of those shows where they animated the transformation differently every time... before the time when animators realized when you could save money by just repeating the same transformation sequence every time. (cutie honey also had a unique transformation sequence every time.) also the show _was_ on the usa cartoon express. oh and of course it's creepy, _jack kirby_ designed it. i mean y'all have seen his '70s comics, i take it.

oh and also the youtube channel hosting all of the circulating turbo teen episodes, if you look at all of his other videos, he seems to seriously believe that the "mandela effect" is evidence that we're all being shunted into an alternate reality or that CERN is using time-travel experiments to change reality, and also that jesus is _definitely_ coming back. i liked this better when it was philip k. dick. hell, i liked it better when it was steins;gate, even though i had to stop watching that show when the lead character went on a ludicrously over the top transphobic rant in episode 2 or 3.

― peace, man

it always makes me feel a little sad when i hear stories like that. i mean i know wanting to be a car when you're five isn't necessarily the same as me being trans. it still makes me sad, though. like i was told as a kid that what i wanted was as ridiculous as, like, wanting to be a car or a dinosaur or something like that... like, imagine if somebody told you oh actually you know what, it turns out you _can_ be a car after all? i guess in practical terms you'd just say "oh well i don't want to be a car anymore", i guess that's the difference.

somewhere in me there's a five year old kid who is constantly just saying "I GET TO BE A GIRL? NO WAY! THAT'S SO COOL!" to me, like, all the fucking time. it makes me so happy.

sometimes i hear transphobes say stuff like "well, _i_ wanted to be a dinosaur when i was 5, is that the future the left wants?", like it's some incredible mic-drop moment, and i've never understood that. i'd like to live in a world where people who wanted to could become cars or dinosaurs or whatever. if being a car or a dinosaur makes them as happy as being a woman makes me. i don't understand why some people think that would be a bad thing.

Jim Woodring on Turbo Teen.

Then I worked on one of the masterpieces of shit — it was called Turbo Teen, about a guy who turned into a car. Not just any car, it was a big muscle car. And the people who wrote that show were such jackasses that ... I remember there was one character who was dancing at a dance in one scene, and this guy called out, “Get it down, Jack!” — the writer evidently couldn't quite remember if it was “Get it on” or “Get down,” and then to just give this ‘80s show an authentic '50s touch, “Jack!” It was just so sad!

Also:

This is what I always find weird whenever I see one of those made-up “Schools are being FORCED to put LITTER BOXES in classrooms for students who identify as CATS!” posts. All I can think is,that actually would be kind of awesome. Like, if I was a kid, I would *want* to be friends with the kid who considered themselves a cat! At the very least, it would break up the monotony of the school day.

somewhere on ilx i THOUGHT i began a thread asking for examples of unheralded craft continuity w/i pop artforms:

of which my prize example was/is the use of peter lorre's voice patterns as a signifier of squat cowardly villainy within the cartoon world -- viz a notion passed down by cartoon voice artists long years after anyone in the viewership (originally grown-ups, now children) can possibly have known who peter lorre ever was

i: i can't now find this thread or subthread (and anyway if i started it at all iirc no one understood what i was asking for) (this is often the case lol)
ii: the list of voice artists who did droopy is absurdly long and extends across eight decades so he probably wins (when was the last *new* peter lorre impression u heard in a cartoon)

^^adding to this something presumably extremely heralded to all stooges fans (= therefore not to me): dr zoidberg's shrill bubbly cry when he runs about in futurama is totally from the stooges, for connoisseurs an hommage but for normies just a handily funny noise

There's been a lot of talk in millenial geek circles around things like the Peter Lorre voice - we grew up with a) cartoons that stemmed from the classic Hollywood era and referenced them, b) then current stuff whose creators felt it was totally normal to reference popcult from decades before their audience was born (Animaniacs is cited as a prime example, the UK Sonic The Hedgehog had recurring villains modeled on the Marx Brothers called the Marxio Brothers, also as a sideswipe against a certain plumber...Saved By The Bell is frequently cited as a portrayal of 90's teens that seems stuck in the 50's half of the time) and c) terrestrial TV still being an important thing and old movies still playing on there, so you could eventually stumble upon Peter Lorre or Edward G Robinson.

I don't think kids now will receive that sort of passive education - they might very well get into old stuff, and those that do will easily gain advanced expert knowledge of whatever they're into that we could only have dreamed of, but it can only come from active interest, it won't be the sort of osmosis we experienced.

Peter Lorre's actually in quite a few Warner Bros cartoons, of course.

is Family Guy still popular?

Good question! I seem to remember a semi ironic, semi nostalgic revival from the zoomers a few years ago?

The Simpsons obv also responsible for some surprising millenial knowledge - Paint Your Wagon! - but unlike Animaniacs et al it and Family Guy weren't explicitly aimed at kids.

I see Kate has already mentioned Galaxy High, which I remember from early 90s along with Bucky O'Hare. Also some Canadian thing called Space Baby/ Fantastic Max. Mighty Mouse and Sharky & George were weekend staples too.

My kid has a friend called M@xi and I spend a LOT of my time with the M@xi's World theme tune in my head.

obscure cartoon characters are still kind of a special interest of mine. i think i started because a lot of gen x nostalgia just pissed me off. "hey remember thundercats?" yeah, i do, it fucking sucked, i watched because there was nothing better on TV. i had a shitty, awful childhood, and "thundercats" wasn't the reason, but it sure didn't do anything to make things better. i mean don't get me wrong if someone loves thundercats, cool, great, happy for you, i just don't have any nostalgic fondness for any of this stuff.

a friend of mine was talking about how great "avatar: the last airbender" was on, that it came out when she was six. when i was six? when i was six the cartoons were shit like "gilligan's planet". i was lucky enough to have "star blazers", it was miles better than anything else, and it's _still_ worse than basically any of the anime kids born a decade after me got. even with a 4kids dub.

i came across a show... i can't remember where, i came across a show called "sport billy". he was good at sports! as in, he was literally an alien whose superpower was that he was good at sports! he had a magic gym bag called the "omni-sack", from which he could take any piece of sporting equipment he could possibly want! this was an adaptation of a european comic for the european market, in fairness. it just ran as filler in the US. the whole series was written by paul dini! some of it might have been good? i tried watching dini's "gilligan's planet" episode and it was extremely dire. on the other hand, i watched the lovecraft pastiche he wrote for the third season of "transformers" and it was really good! by the standards of mid-1980s kids cartoons.

which is to say JESUS SHE HAD "AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER" WHEN SHE WAS SIX? jesus CHRIST i had "the robonic stooges".

― a ZX spectrum is haunting Europe (Daniel_Rf)

i do think cultural osmosis has significance beyond peter lorre impressions. i was reading today about the transformers cartoon (the fan hypothesis that the "transformers" sound effect is derived from DEVO's "auto modown" is still neither confirmed nor debunked; it doesn't seem terribly likely given the obscurity of the "mechanical man" EP but a lot of the line came out of marvel comics, so i can't say it's impossible...)

sorry, i was reading today about the transformers cartoon and why casey kasem stopped working on it... it seems that one of the writers had the brilliant idea for a satire on libya with the nation in question called "carbombya"... kasem (who happened to have been born to lebanese immigrants) rightfully pointed out the portrayal was racist as fuck. well, the episode aired and kasem stopped working with the show. even when i did gain stuff through osmosis... i mean it's not like i knew who peter lorre was or anything!

I remember making Jimmy Hoffa jokes based on my readings of Bloom County, only learning who he was years later.

Well I don't think these things are comparable! Cultural values, including bigotries, continue to be transmitted through the entertainment kids consume, that kind of osmosis is I think always going to happen.

xp I remember Sport Billy and Sport Lilly! They had a spaceship. They were good at sports, but they were also good sports, that was the entire premise as I recall.

I also have fond memories of The Mighty Heroes- wow that was created by Ralph Bakshi, also I guess it only ran for one season. Strong Man, Rope Man, Tornado Man, Cuckoo Man, and Diaper Man!

xp I remember Sport Billy and Sport Lilly! They had a spaceship. They were good at sports, but they were also good sports, that was the entire premise as I recall.

kinda reminds me of the Golden Age superhero Mister Terrific, whose literal superpower is that he was good at everything. i think he wore a shirt that literally said "fair play" on it. that kind of thing annoys the piss out of me, tbh - a guy who's literally better than you at everything admonishing you to "play fair". maybe i'm not the target audience. my superpower is that i'm _bad_ at every sport, which is doubly galling since people like me are supposed to have such incredible genetic advantages that we're banned from competing in most of them. i didn't need to be pushed into "playing fair", i needed to be pushed into playing instead of wandering off trying to find interesting stones.

now that i'm looking him up, though, mister terrific is more interesting than i remember. a lot of these golden age folks... he first appeared in Sensation Comics #1, the same issue Wonder Woman debuted in. admittedly i don't find mister terrific quite as compelling as wonder woman, a superhero whose initial stories were basically themed around sapphic bondage. that said, his origin is him quite literally trying to kill himself because he's accomplished everything he ever wanted to accomplish. kinda reminds me of candy darling's famous final letter... "Unfortunately before my death I had no desire left for life ... I am just so bored by everything. You might say bored to death." would i love to live in a universe where candy darling recovered from her lymphoma and went on to form a "fair play club" to teach the dolls how to play well with others? hell fucking yes.

I also have fond memories of The Mighty Heroes- wow that was created by Ralph Bakshi, also I guess it only ran for one season. Strong Man, Rope Man, Tornado Man, Cuckoo Man, and Diaper Man!

― epistantophus

"diaper man" certainly sounds like a ralph bakshi creation. definitely one for the "superhero based on a barely-disguised sexual fetish" books. some people might suspect rope man as well, but look, the standards are _pretty high_ when it comes to that particular category. a guy named "rope man" is never going to compete with grimbor the chainsman.

This is what I always find weird whenever I see one of those made-up “Schools are being FORCED to put LITTER BOXES in classrooms for students who identify as CATS!” posts. All I can think is,that actually would be kind of awesome. Like, if I was a kid, I would *want* to be friends with the kid who considered themselves a cat!

2025 update: ehhhhh, it's complicated. i've run into an increasing number of folks who... nobody uses litterboxes in public at least, but yeah there are a number of folks who literally don't use human language. to me it comes across as some variety of neurodiversity (i've personally had bouts of selective mutism before) combined with just, like... shell-shock. thinking about it i think there is a difference between "shell shock" and "PTSD". people get shell shock when they're in the shit. it's not an acute thing, it's a chronic thing. sometimes trying to continue to be, like, a _human being_ through all this drives me fucking crazy. i know those pins used to say "i wasn't recruited, i enlisted", but i didn't actually sign up for this shit. i just couldn't keep pretending to be a dude any longer. so i don't blame anybody who, the way they survive is by _not_ being human. at the same time, i can't say it's entirely dissimilar to those stories i used to here of people locked in asylums who would just start barking like dogs. it's not a matter of being "crazy", it's more like what holly anderson wrote in "mica" - "why mix modes? if you feel like a patient, why not dress like one?"

i know that's dark. i'm sorry. i genuinely wish i could tell you it's just some weird sexual fetish like the bigots keep saying it is. we're doing our best, and i know y'all are too. much love.

there were three bears who drove a dump truck. there may have been space travel. it was not the hair bear bunch 🤷‍♂️

wowzers! thank you!

i remember using 'Sport Billy' as an insult whilst at school (maybe copied from someone else)

I was a big childhood fan of "The New Shmoo" by Hannah-Barbera (my mother named a whole recipe of bread "Shmoo bread" because the rolled out dough was blob-shaped) and the one that no one else ever remembers, Jana of the Jungle (my fave because I wanted to be an Amazon).

There were also a bunch of "space teen superhero" shows around the same time, I think! I def watched Space Ghost, but also the SilverHawks, The Herculoids, and more. H-B was busy in in the '80s what can I say.
