Lenny is a large, pure-hearted, mentally-disabled man, a clumsy giant with the mind of a child, and his friend George tries to keep Lenny out of trouble as they travel the American highways desperately searching for work. Based on John Steinbeck’s classic novella, the film follows two luckless Depression-era migrant workers, George (Burgess Meredith) and Lenny (Lon Chaney, Jr.). Lewis Milestone’s 1939 film Of Mice and Men is one of the most gut-wrenching movies you will ever see. The Looney Tunes cartoonists even based a recurring character on Colonna, a little worm who starred in a pair of cartoons, “The Wacky Worm” and “Greetings Bait.” In the latter cartoon, the Colonna worm actually meets a Colonna fisherman… it’s like some great Colonna Circle of Life. Merrie Melodies – Daffy Doodles (1946) by Cartoonzof2006 1946’s “Daffy Doodles” ends with an entire jury composed of Jerry Colonnas. seem to have been particularly crazy for Colonna, employing a number of his catchphrases (“GRUESOME, isn’t it?”) and caricaturing him in a bunch of cartoons. A lot of what Colonna said was total nonsense (“Greetings, Gates! Let’s operate!”) but something about his screwy persona was delightful to mid-20th Century America. Colonna was a pop-eyed, gap-toothed, walrus-mustached fellow who spoke in a loud, crazy voice with a vaguely foreign accent. When the cat in the clip says the line, he doesn’t just say it like Colonna, he briefly takes on a bit of a physical resemblance to Colonna as well. Here it is in a clip from 1942’s “The Hep Cat.” This line originally comes from Jerry Colonna, one of Bob Hope’s radio sidekicks. If you’ve spent your whole life wondering why the characters in these cartoons would sometimes turn to the camera, bug out their eyes and say, “Well, something new has been added!”, this is your lucky day! In this list, we’ll finally get to the bottom of a few of the weird catchphrases that have plagued Looney Tunes fans for generations.

People are still enjoying Looney Tunes cartoons despite the constant references to forgotten movie stars and ad campaigns for products that haven’t been manufactured since the Eisenhower administration, and that says a lot about the high quality of the work produced by Chuck Jones, Bob Clampett, Tex Avery and other Warner Bros. I’ve always taken pride in being into weird old stuff – even as a teenager, I was a middle-aged grump who listened to old-time radio – and I’ve been stumped by a lot of these things. But the thing about those Looney Tunes pop cultural references is that while they may have been hilarious to our grandparents, a lot of them are absolutely baffling to modern viewers.
