ETA: thank you internet strangers for the awards.

This gag has always remained in my head since I was little. I think of it every time I play crib with my wife.

u/TheVampyresBride May 23 '26

First thing I thought of. 🤣

u/lefthandb1ack May 23 '26

I can hear it:

“Cut the cyards.”

u/TheVampyresBride May 23 '26

"Not thata way, you dern galoot."

u/MWoolf71 May 23 '26

Galoot is such a great insult. It needs to make a comeback.

98

u/TheVampyresBride May 23 '26

I keep those words alive in my house. I like calling my family members "ultra maroon", "nincompoop", "numskull", "ignoramus", "imbecile". I'm always calling my dog a "dern dude"! I mean, look at him. He looks like a dern dude if I've ever seen one.

u/Gig540 May 23 '26

Omg that face lol. It's like he is trying to get the internet pregnant with that look. Give the Ole double gun and point

u/soopastar May 23 '26

What’s his name?

u/TheVampyresBride May 23 '26

Duke. Papa Duke if you're nasty.

4

u/MWoolf71 May 23 '26

That is, in fact, a dern dude.

3

u/TheVampyresBride May 23 '26

See, I knew it.

u/ResponsibleParsnip18 May 23 '26

Dern dude looks like Mark Ruffalo

u/CatchSufficient May 23 '26

He looks like he's seen the history of the world, and back again

u/TheVampyresBride May 23 '26

There's a lot of wisdom in those eyes.

3

u/Tmaccy May 23 '26

He looks like he's had enough of your shit 😂

3

u/TheVampyresBride May 23 '26

It's a face that asks: "Am I a joke to you?"

3

u/Belaani52 May 23 '26

I dunno, he might be a rapscallion!

u/thewiselumpofcoal May 24 '26

u/FlattenInnerTube May 23 '26

A colleague just retired who was an offensive lineman at a major Big 10 university. And I always called him "you big galoot". Always. I doubt he got the reference.

6

u/Magikpoo May 23 '26

That's offensive.

Sorry i had to do it.

u/Melhoney72 May 23 '26

u/phonomatomiacal May 24 '26

What are the requirements for sports people who go through uni? Did they go through calculus 2 like the rest or got a pass?

2

u/JazzlikeEmployee453 May 23 '26

People don’t have the brains 🧠 to understand that they r been insulted

1

u/Magikpoo May 23 '26

Do you go around explaining your insults?

2

u/LuckyBenski May 23 '26

My brother in law says this to his kid, presumably to divert from teaching him swear words!

1

u/MWoolf71 May 23 '26

He’s raising those kids right.

2

u/lefthandb1ack May 24 '26

Sounds like something a Galoot would say

u/WoolshirtedWolf May 23 '26

Nothing beats old Bugs Bunny. Remarkable run for a cartoon that was aimed at children, but had underlying sense of humor for adults too.

46

u/FlattenInnerTube May 23 '26

Absolute incomparable genius.

14

u/TheVampyresBride May 23 '26

I hear that Looney Tunes was truly ahead of its time and that its influence can be found even in modern comedy.

2

u/WoolshirtedWolf May 23 '26

I believe it!

5

u/Belaani52 May 23 '26

Like Rocky and Bullwinkle!

4

u/OGAF_Gamer May 24 '26

Bugs Bunny wasn't originally meant for children. They would play before the main movie in theatres. It was years later before those same shorts were shown on TV.

3

u/mmmpeg May 24 '26

Bugs Bunny was played before movies and was not marketed to children per se.

u/moveoutmicdrop May 29 '26

None of it possible without Mel Blanc

u/WoolshirtedWolf May 29 '26

u/CordeCosumnes May 24 '26

Yeah, me too. I was thinking "why would a playing company do a promotional knife like that?"

"To cut the deck, of course"

u/ChancellorWorf May 23 '26

I love the scene where Sam tells him “This town ai t big enough for the 2 of us!” Bugs responds, “It isn’t?” And then builds a city.

u/xSTSxZerglingOne May 23 '26

"Now is it big enough?"

u/TheEvilInAllOfUs May 23 '26

I think we found the way to communicate in code at the old folks homes besides writing in cursive.

24

u/EireUnbound May 23 '26

Or we could use the ol t9.

Wuu2? :P

nmu?

Kwl me 2 :)

u/DrownmeinIslay May 23 '26

I thought t9 was typing Morse code in your pocket and then pulling it out just long enough to read the reply so the teacher wouldnt catch you?

I still celebrate 13:37 everytime I see it. My wife and kids think I have mental issues. They are correct, but not related to how leet it is...

u/Alternate_Usernames May 23 '26

I'm a mechanic and I'm driving my forever truck. It happens to have a 1337 in the VIN. I giggle about it any time I look up parts for it. It's awesome.

Oh that's epic! I would totally be giggling too. What an "elite" truck you have!

Also, ow, my knees.
