Thenadventures of a moose and a flying squirrel shouldn’t be THIS funny!nThis animated series also includes some bad guys (Russian-esque spiesnBoris Badenov and Natasha Fatale, plus Snidely Whiplash of “Curses!nFoiled again!” fame), a rather feeble-minded Canadian Mountie namednDudley Do-Right, a dog and his pet boy, and everyone’s favorite:nFractured Fairy Tales!

n
nOnnthis date in 1959, Rocky & His Friends debuted; the shownlasted almost five years. It’s one of the few TV shows I remembernfrom my early childhood! n
n
n
n
n
Therenhave been film adaptations (which were mostly terrible), musicnrecordings, toys, and video games. Of course, Rocky and Bullwinklenepisodes are available in reruns, on YouTube, and on DVDs; Rocky andnBullwinkle have appeared in ads, on U.S. postage stamps, in annewspaper comic strip, and in a children’s opera.

nOnenof the things I like about the humor of Rocky and Bullwinkle is thatnit sometimes gets self-referential. Here are two examples:
n
n
n
nRocky:nBullwinkle, I’m worried.
n
nBullwinkle:nRatings down in the show again?
n
nRocky:nNo.
n
nBullwinkle:nThat’s odd.
n
nRocky:nI’m worried because there have already been two attempts on yournlife.
n
nBullwinkle:nOh, don’t worry. We will be renewed.
n
nRocky:nI’m not talking about the Bullwinkle Show.
n
nBullwinkle:nYou had better; we could use the publicity.
n
n
n
n AND:
n
n
n
nRocky:nBullwinkle, do you know what an A-Bomb is?
n
nBullwinkle:nSure, a bomb is what some people call our show.
n
n
Rocky:nI don’t think that’s very funny.
Rocky:nI don’t think that’s very funny.n
nBullwinkle:nNeither do they, apparently.
n
n
n
n
n
nCelebrate!
n
n
n
nIncan think of no better way to celebrate than watching episodes! Herenis one – and from there you can link to many more!
