Brief Jerky
Elmer Fudd said to suck it, Cornelius!
And Yosamite Sam. Fail.
While there were a lot of earlier cartoons had gun totin’ characters. The MPAA’s G rating didn’t exist until 1968. That’s four years after Yukon Cornelius appeared in “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”
Was Rudolph a motion picture or just a TV special? TV shows didn’t get ratings until just recently. I don’t think Rudolph would count.
I’m fairly certain it was a TV special. If it wasn’t originally, that’s certainly what it turned into by the time I started watching it.
Rudolph debuted on TV in 1964. Ol’ Elmer and Yosemite Sam were carrying (and firing recklessly) guns in cartoons in the ’40′s. And I’m sure there are many others. Stray89, you obviously know nothing of cartoons, nor of Google, where you could have found this info quickly and painlessly.
Cartoons have been smoking and packing heat since Windsor McKay did Little Nemo in Slumberland back in 1905. This shameless Jewish stereotype never even pointed that thing at anyone.
Yukon Cornelius is not a Jewish stereotype. The simple fact that you equate him as such for simply looking for silver and gold is ludicrous. He was really looking for peppermint and only told others he was looking for silver and gold. The part near the end where he indeed did find a peppermint mine was later edited out. That is why he always smelled or tasted his pick axe.
All of the above posters, while having valid points, failed to point out that this isn’t even a cartoon. I feel compelled to SS the whole post and move it to failblog.
Definition of “animated cartoon” according to Merriam-Webster, dated 1915: “a motion picture that is made from a series of drawings, computer graphics, or photographs of inanimate objects (as puppets) and that simulates movement by slight progressive changes in each frame”. Sorry, Kvandy. It IS a cartoon.
I know I’ve got to be misreading this. It looks like you’re saying that M-W was referring to computer graphics in 1915.
*Headdesk* Nevermind, just read the posts below. I need more coffee.
A dictionary from 1915 mentioned computer graphics? wow
Ha! My overzealous approach backfires again! I suppose the original definition has been altered a bit, as is normal. It really says 1915, I swear!
The more complete dictionaries often give a date of the first known use of the word. That’s probably what the 1915 there is.
and why does he only have 3 fingers?
And Cornelius never actually had a shoot to kill motive. Yosemite and Elmer fired to kill. Both failed, but the motive and intention was there… That Bumble would have destroyed poor Corny!!

*licks* nuthin’!
Caption FAIL!
Title sucks, as always!
Disregarding the whole inaccurate caption bit, does anyone else think these movies are just a tad on the creepy side?
I mean, when Rudolph almost gets eaten by a yeti, no kid wants to see that. Heck, I can’t think of too many adults who want to see that (except maybe my brother).
One more character of whom I am blissfully unaware. (age does have its advantages)
me to who or what is it??
I really wish you didn’t.
Feel free to leave or better yet, go to Detroit or Chicago WITHOUT a gun and die. Thank You
looked it up, he only wants gold and silver,
Well, “Silver and Gold”, according to the song…
no, only peppermint
For years, cartoon characters carrying guns was no big deal. That was back before PC and people thinking that those of us watching couldn’t distinguish between cartoon violence and the real thing.
Funny thing, real violence was lower in those days.
This. And guns are not bad like Again thinks. We have 3 or 4 in this house and Ben has never killed a thing. He cries if a squirrel runs out in front of his car. But we live in a bad neighborhood. And if some one breaks in out house with the intent to steal what little we have or worse hurt one of us, you can bet we will defend our lives and property!
Plus I come from poor country folk. To us guns = free protein. Try telling a family that raises their kids on venison and squirrel that guns are bad.
Indeed. Incompetent morons thinking that taking guns away will somehow lower murder rates are kidding themselves and everyone else. Violent crime jumps when governments take guns away from law abiding citizens. All that is left are armed criminals.
that would explain japan’s horrific crime rate.
Interesting how anti-gun people are usually the first to wish gun owners to be killed by guns. This usually comes after they spin how guns kill innocent people and their banning would magically make violence disappear.
Again also forgets that the 2nd Amendment is the one Amendment that ensures the US population the ability to keep the rest.
well, im just happy i dont have to fear every stupid criminal or drughead would carry gun.
makes self-defense way easier.
Thank god for guns if they bother you that badly. Guns are fine. Without the ability to legally purchase them, crime rates would be much worse than they are already. There’s a reason that places which allow concealed carry have lower gun crime rates than places with strict gun laws.
I prefer his evil cousin “Yukon Corleone” from the MAD TV Parody “Raging Rudolf”.
Oh, and by the way, to the person citing the earlier cartoons – most of those started out as theatrical shorts, and were subject to local ratings boards long before teh MPAA standards.
And, one of the creators of said WB cartoons said point-blank in an interview, “Our Cartoons were NEVER meant for children…” before talking about how they eventually evolved that way.
As for “Again” (and people like them), Robert Heinlein said it best (here’s a close paraphrase since I don’t have the Collected Sayings of Lazarus Long handy) -
“The meek shall inherit the earth – 1 meter wide, 2 meters long and deep.”
“1 meter wide, 2 meters long and deep”
That would be a grave, genius.
Thankfully you do not dictate my rights or freedoms.
You could always move away to a country where firearms ownership is prohibited.
Or you could get yourself locked up in jail for life – no guns there AND you don’t have to go through that new citizenship thing…..
bad doll!
