The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour (114)

Thank you for joining us today.

Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with another Bugs Bunny Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1942 Friz Freleng directed, Fresh Hare, (Bunkies, there is a lot going on with this title. Besides being the fifth and final appearance of the fat Elmer Fudd, this short is one of several pre-August 1948 WB cartoon shorts that lapsed into the public domain due to United Artists failing to renew the copyright in time. While is is not one of the infamous 'Censored 11' Looney Tunes titles, the ending of this cartoon where Bugs proclaims his last wish in a chorus of "I Wish I Were in Dixie", which is followed by Bugs, Elmer Fudd and the Mounties all in blackface singing "Camptown Races" has been edited on nearly every American airing, including versions shown on the Ted Turner-owned networks (Cartoon Network, Boomerang, TBS, and TNT.):



Bugs is wanted for a series of crimes he had committed in this cartoon (as corrected here for Elmer's rounded-l-and-r speech):

1.)    Resisting an officer
2.)    Assault and battery
3.)    Trespassing
4.)    Disturbing the peace
5.)    Miscellaneous misdemeanors
6.)    Public nuisance
7.)    Traffic violations
8.)    Going through a boulevard stop
9.)    Jaywalking
10.)  Triple parking
11.)  Conduct unbecoming to a rabbit


The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour would like to celebrate the birthday of Paul Reiser, comedian, actor, writer, and musician, born on this date in 1956.  Best known as Paul Buchman in Mad About You and Dr. Sam Owens in Stranger Things, Paul also appeared in the hysterically scatological documentary film, The Aristocrats.  Kids, check with your folks if you are allowed to watch this truly filthy film, then please, get a snack and a beverage, sit back (quick, find the most comfortable seat on the sofa,) and join The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour in watching this funny flick - The Aristocrats:



This joke has been used by comedians for years as a mental stretching exercise. They would tell the joke to each other as a warm up for their acts. While the setup and punchline remain the same throughout, the middle section, describing the actual family act, is always varied to get the juices going by throwing in the most they can and keeping it funny. There are stories of parties where performers will jam and keep it going for almost an hour.
