Hanna-Barberians at the gate
I love Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera. Their studio singlehandedly invented the TV cartoon show format.
They created over 1000 cartoon characters. This makes them two of the GREATEST PEOPLE THAT EVER LIVED.
Let us compare them with the BBC's list of 10 Greatest Britons ever.
BBC LIST:
Isambard Kingdom Brunel: Great Victorian English engineer. Created great buildings, but no cartoons.
Winston Churchill: Was a great war time leader. Hanna-Barbera created a show entitled Fish Police. Winston Churchill NEVER found away to use fish in the name of justice.
Oliver Cromwell: I think this was the fat guy from Night Court. Hanna-Barbera created Scooby-Doo who has solved more crimes than Charle Chan (Chan also had a Hanna-Barbera cartoon to his name.)
Charles Darwin: Belived that man descended from apes. Hanna-Barbera, on the other hand, knew the truth about evolution. Cavemen lived among the dinosaurs and pedaled their cars with their feet.
Diana, Princess of Wales: Her wedding was watched by millions. So was Pebbles and Bamm Bamm's!
Queen Elizabeth I: I think that is a boat, not a person. It was the boat from the Titanic.
John Lennon: Wrote the words, "I Am the Walrus". Hanna-Barbera created the Shmoo.
Horatio Nelson: A famous admiral, sailed proudly. Hanna-Barbera created Speed Buggy.
Isaac Newton: Discovered America by letting an apple fall on his sons head as he shot it with an arrow. Hanna-Barbera has animated AT LEAST TWO VERSIONS OF RICK MORANIS.
William Shakespeare: Was a gunfighter, better known as Billy The Kid. Never made a single cartoon.
YES, HANNA-BARBERA ARE LEGENDS.

Or, skip to volume three
William Shakespeare wasn't Billy the Kid! That was Emilio Estevez.
ReplyDeleteI watched Pebbles & Bamm Bamm's wedding with a tear in my eye. Sob.
ReplyDeleteYou know what would be AWESOME?? If we lined up the 10 Greatest Britons, locked them in Big Ben and had Evel Knievel jump over Big Ben. Oh man, that would be SWWWWWEEEEEEEEEETTTTT!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know what would be AWESOME?? If the 10 greatest Britons of all time lined up in Big Ben and Hillary Duff jumped over them. Oh man that would be SWEEEEEETTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know would be AWESOME?? If the 10 Greatest Britons lined up inside Big Ben and Mr. Freeze jumped over them and said, "You know what killed the dinosaurs? The Ice Age" and then laughed and laughed. Then Batman roped him with the batrope, but Freeze said, "Your not going to send me to the cooler" and no one laughed. And then was elected governor and got to live in fabulous Sacremento, California. That would be SWWWWWEEEEEEEETTTTTTT!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletePlus, I don't think the 10 greatest Britons ever divided up into three seperate teams to compete against each other Laff-A-Lympics style!
ReplyDeleteSadly I have never heard of 3 of the greatest Britons!
