I grew up watching those cartoons and I turned out fine. Now that I'm older, there's a lot of life lessons to be learned from them, like never giving up on your dreams and no matter how many times you fail in life, keep getting up and try to succeed. There's more but I'm gonna try to keep it short.
@@IanDavidOnDU: I guess in your way of thinking.....things like humor, laughter, entertainment, enjoyment, imagination, art, hilarity, excitement, and just plain old fun.....are things, that no child should ever experience? How sad.
I grew up with looney tunes. Now, it’s rare even seeing one episode. Speedy Gonzales is considered racist, Porky is considered insensitive, and every other character promotes violence according to today’s culture. Dude, I was watching Daffy Duck drinking gasoline and swallowing a match at 3 years old. At no time did I think to do the same.
Goes back the the narrator's earlier point in the video, are these cartoons too violent/the censors thought they were too violen for kids. They're no violent at all if you're not stupid and realize it's a cartoon, not real life. I never had the urge to pull a jack-ass and strap myself to a rocket. If you want violence, watch Cops, or easier, just drive through any major city. Let's see the censors censor the real life violence we see daily. This was the golden age of animation. All cartoons today look worse and are just bad.
Agreed, people are way to sensitive these days. G.I.Joe ... Way too violent ? Millions of laser guns, yet nobody ever got hurt. Just look where all the coddling has got us.
I'll be 72 yo in a few days and I still watch the old cartoons on MeTV network. Rod Runner is still one of my favs. Too violent for TODAY'S kids? Are you kidding? With all those violent video game they play today! I don't think so!!
Lol 😂 I have the same network and I watch them to but still they only show certain episodes even on Gillian’s island you never see the one with the one man sub and the Japanese guy with the thick glasses never!!
And a happy 72 Beep Beeps to you today!!!!! Just think my 1972 NHRA Roadrunner has its 51st birthday tomorrow... Its VIN says it was born April 3rd 1972. We're still debating if we want to invite the Coyote to his party tomm...
ask yourself why you believe the author when he says in the title that these cartoons are banned? He lied to you, they are NOT banned. They appear over and over again in various places, but time moves on. It's like saying "married with children was banned", when of course you know it wasn't. stop believing everything you see on youtube without even bothering to verify it. just stop. it's making the whole world dumber.
I grew-up during those times. It's unbelievable that these cartoons were and continue to be censored for "violence" while young children are exposed to "violent" video games and graphics on TV and movies. The level of violence that children are exposed to now is uncomparable.
That's because THEY are SOOOO much smarter then we are. Don't believe me, just ask them. We're all to stupid to get through life without needing to be told what is do. How to live life today according to the ones who couldn't pour piss out of a boot, even if the instructions were engraved on the heel. l wish l was 20 something again and knew EVERYTHING!!
@@congerthomas1812 The Three Stooges STILL doesn't even come close to the level of violence that young children are currently exposed to in video games. How can someone compare poking someone in the eyes with two fingers verses machine-gunning large amounts of "people" down? Even the old war movies didn't sensationalize the death, focus and zoom-in on the dead bodies, body parts, etc. like the technology does now. Again, not even close.
@@truthseeker3031 I mean there is an ESRB rating system for a reason, not that any parent in the history of the existence of videogames bothers checking it, I'd argue unrestricted Internet access is more "damaging" but then I grew up with basically unrestricted Internet access and even that wasn't a huge deal
WILE E. COYOTE....SUPER GENIUS!! Hilarious then and Hilarious forever! When my dad came home from work on Saturday morning, if the Road Runner came on, he would sit down and watch it . He loved it as much as we did!
As one who grew up with Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies and all I can say is "what is wrong with you" if you think that this was somehow dangerously inciting violence. It was just funny siliness that we all understood was no representation of reality.
When the roadrunner started in 1966 I was 4 years old... THAT'S When I started watching "Them!" ... I have often quoted "Wile E Coyote, SUPER Genius!", for his eccentric character rarely played! Without bragging, I would say that I am a connoisseur / expert on "The Roadrunner !" ... Thank you for bringing back a Glorious Memory ! Any Questions : FEEL FREE TO ASK! BLESSINGS...
Ok Expert Wile E. Coyote never talked in the Roadrunner Cartoons. However, he did talk when he was after Bugs Bunny where the "Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius" came from.
@@dwaynelangerhr6985 He also talked to a sheepdog who was herding sheep. Wiley was the villain trying to steal a sheep while the sheepdog foiled his plans
This title is totally misleading. The video doesn't tell about any specific cartoon or scenes which were banned but is just an overview of the characters.
It doesn't name the title of a specific cartoon but it does accomplish the title (IMHO) because it explains that several of the cartoons were perhaps not banned but they were so gutted they might as well been banned.
As a kid I wanted that ACME corporation catalog I can’t name the episode but Wyle E steps into a dynamite shack and lights a match to figure out where he is🔥👀🤣
Are you sure that wasn't the one where the hillbillies were chasing Bugs Bunny and he got even with square dance calling? (One of the Pink Panther movies recycled that gag!)
I was born in 1959 and never tired of these cartoons. No, they're not violent, kids sit and laugh at them. Teachers used them in science class, the good ones did. I'm sure a few well crafted Dad Jokes were made up.
Wile E Coyote did talk at least one time that i remember when he was devising a plan and saying "Wile E Coyote Super Genious". It was so hilarious to me that ive never forgotten it
These cartoons are fantastic! No, they are not too violent for kids. Unless somehow kids can order ACME products just like Wile E. Coyote - which I am certain they can't. So worry not everyone, these cartoons are safe for all ages and need to be run forever and ever Amen😅
The city I grew up in had an Acme Drive In. It sat abandoned for many years until a tornado passed through and knocked the still standing screen down. Typical Acme event.
@@isabellind1292 That reminds me of a Bugs cartoon where the coyote was trying to steal sheep from a herd watched over by a sheep dog. The coyote was always getting caught and punished by the sheep dog. What I remembered was the dog and coyote had a time clock they used to start and end each day and would greet each other as they came and went.
The show was a family favorite from the time it first aired. Kids knew the coyote was never going to get the roadrunner. The cartoon was better than the trash cartoons that came out later.❤❤❤
While it's better than trash cartoons of later on, there were contemporary cartoons that were far better than this crap. Stop insulting children's intelligence with this repetitive nonsense of everything that ought to have worked backfiring and the coyote always falling off the stupid cliff.
Thank you so much for showing the clip of the Coyote catching Road Runner. I saw this as a kid, and people have been telling me for ages the episode was either a figment of my imagination or a Mandela effect kind of thing, but never actually existed. I always knew it did and would sometimes be able to find proof of it, but it's always nice to see it someone else talking about it too. lol
I tell people about this too, but no one else seems to remember. Pretty sure this was about 1997 or 98. It was a primetime episode. In the trailers during the week leading up leading up to the episode the announcer even said, "The Coyote finally catches the Road Runner!!" No doubt that got a lot of people to tune in.
@erichowry9356 Same with The Three Stooges. Even as a 12 year old seeing clips played on a local TV kiddie show, I knew they did to each other was not real.
When he was in his early 70s, my Dad (1919-1994) used to laugh until he hurt while watching Road Runner cartoons. It seems he laughed the most as poor Wile E. was falling, falling... and falling toward the canyon floor Thanks for the memories, JJS
I watch rhe WB cartoons on MeTV on Saturday mornings laugh thru the whole show and my wife is looking at me with the "There's something wrong with this boy". I'm 74 and even rhough I've seen the toons countless times they still crack me up. I do hope Coyote vs Acme comes ro the theaters or a streaming service soon.
I love the roadrunner he was my favorite along with Wylie Coyote. I think the cartoons now a days are giving ideas more than the roadrunner show. Some of the movies today make the roadrunner look whimpe today. Even cartoons have really gotten more violent these were tame compared with what’s out there today. I’m a senior now I used to love watching them on Saturday mornings and sometimes they had them on during the week. If they were in again I would like to sit In my easy chair and enjoy with my cats.
Cartoons of yesteryear were to make us laugh out loud and have fun that was the message, now all kid's cartoons come with some socio political message that seems to go against anything good, moral, and family oriented.
The censors were a group of fuddy-duddy, puritanical sticks in the mud who wouldn't know comedy if it introduced itself to them and could differentiate cartoon violence that never actually did any permanent harm from actual violence against others. Some people try to ignore the very true fact that violence is in our nature and has been from the very beginning and will never be truly expunged from us.
My brother and I grew up in the 60's, and watching Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner was a particular favorite. We both grew up safely. At no time, did we ever think that we could fall off a cliff and survive. Those censors should give kids some credit for having brains.
I watched these as a kid. How can anyone with a right mind think that there are too dangerous? They're hilarious. No way did I ever think "wait, if Wile could survive from falling from that great height, and make a crater in the ground, I wonder if I could...?". That thought never crossed my mind, nor anyone else in my family who watched them. And they were so fun in delivery, I remember in one episode he fell from a great height to the same point of impact around six or seven times, and everytime was different. I wish that they would bring these sorts of programs back to TV, they were so much fun.
I always watched The Roadrunner with my Dad on Saturday mornings. Dad passed last month from pneumonia following leukemia. His 88th birthday would have been Tuesday. I’ll watch some cartoons in honor of him tonight, I think. RIP, Dad. We will miss you.
My phone background is a picture of both grandsons age 4 & 6 sitting on floor and cracking up while watching the classic road runner and coyote cartoons. They are now almost 14 & 16 yrs old and still love it. They absolutely love the Yosemite Sam character, Taz, Marvin the Martian, and we still do the wabbit season/duck season bit along with Sams portrayal of an Arab with camel as he says, when I says whoa I means… WHOA! lol. But hands down roadrunner was a huge hit then and with the grandkids now. We still watch the classic over the new stuff.
I LOVED this show as a kid. My Dad would watch with me and always got a good chuckle from Wile E. Coyote's failures. Too violent? After seeing some of the things that are on today, I'd say that it's pretty tame. Bring them all back, uncut and uncensored!
Good video!!! Always watched "Bugs Bunny & the Road Runner Show" every Saturday morning during the 1960-1970s. Sometimes they would be on late Sunday mornings and would catch them after church. However, NEVER seen the version of Coyote finally catching the Road Runner as depicted in this video. A version that I distinctly remember to this day is of Coyote making a giant robot of himself and he was chasing Road Runner around the countryside. Eventually, since the robot was so LARGE and able to reach far with his arms, he was finally able to capture Road Runner. Coyote was all proud of himself and happy that he was making a feast!!!! Road Runner was tied up and about to be cooked when they both looked at each other - Coyote with a proud look of accomplishment on his face which slowly changed to pity and Road Runner with those big sorrowful eyes and scared. After some soul searching, Coyote decided to let Road Runner go, and the CHASE CONTINUED!!!! BEEP-BEEP!!!!!! At least that is what I remember, or maybe I watched something totally different, and it stuck with me for over 50+ years!!
Kids need to see violent cartoons. The fantasy of a character who gets worse treatment than I did made my life look not so bad in the day. The coyote always got back up and tried again. That's the lesson I learned from those cartoons in the late 60s and early 70s.
"Violent" with limits -- not like the violence they are exposed to today, but these cartoons were OK and within limits. I agree with you that these cartoons gave children a positive message -- to get back up and try again no matter how hard it is. I think they may have influenced me that way, too.
With some of the video games that are out today, they see more violence (with actual blood being spilled and scattered around) than was in any of the cartoons of the '60s and early '70s. Even Tom and Jerry and some of the Bullwinkle and Rocky cartoons had violence that was more amusing than what seemed to be real-life. In the Bullwinkle and Rocky program, there was the segment, "Fractured Fairy Tales" where the book would fall over on the Fairy Godmother, and I knew many kids who would watch it fall over on her because it was so funny to see it happen, even though we had all seen it so many times and knew it was going to happen, but there she was again, next episode, introducing the story and the book falling over and crushing her.
If I remember correctly, it was the episode where two young boys were sitting in front of the tv watching and asking why the coyote didn’t give up or something along those lines and Wile e starts explaining in genius fashion.
I grew up watching these cartoons with my grandpa sitting in his favorite recliner every Saturday morning and afterwards the both of us would take a nap I love these cartoons and still to this day I watch them even at 49 years old thank you so much for being such a huge part of my life
I grew up in the 60's and 70's and watched these cartoons and others unedited. Of all the cartoons the Warner Brothers were the best . Disney was too wholesome and the Tom & Jerry woody woodpecker were most violent and racist. However, I don't think they needed or need to be edited. They are great fun and don't warp a child's perception of right or wrong. I always thought that grown ups didn't give us kids enough credit.
You didn't. They ones screened in the 1960s and 70s were already edited, with the most offensive (usually 1930s vintage) Warner Brothers cartoons omitted completely. But you're right - there were/are plenty of other cartoon series far worse - and many are still out there (in terrible public domain copies) available to all.
❤ My Favorite Cartoons Are Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner. I was Born in 1960 and grew up watching This Show also i liked sid and marty croft shows. Thanks for the Great Memories, i didnt think it was too violent. With todays society its possible. 😊😀💙💜🙏
The Road Runner/Coyote show was priceless entertainment! I remember when I was 7 years old, my 28 year old Uncle would get up early on Saturday to watch. It wasn't too violent. We watched all that violent stuff from previous generations. I remember one time Wile E. Stopped mid-chase to explain his desire to catch the Road Runner to two kids watching on TV.😂
Bugs and Daffy, or Bugs and Elmer were just as violent (with Bugs doing drag occasionally, which seemed to be okay), and Sylvester and Tweety's encounters were just as violent in many ways, as well as Foghorn Leghorn's interaction with the Farmyard Dog and/or 'Henry Hawk (the pipsqueak chickenhawk), but there has seemed to be no complaints about their rivalries/escapades. Why just Road Runner and Wile E, Coyote?
They (censors) worry about cartoon violence yet it's ok to have drag queen story time in a public library for pre schoolers? Please bring back good, wholesome, old fashioned cartoons!
@@andrewholliday251 : Homophobia is why. Maybe he's jealous of the drag queens, maybe he's a closet child molester and would like to be the one who is reading the story to them. It could even be that he's jealous of the queens' costumes and makeup, just as Dr. Frank N. Furter in the "Rocky Horror picture Show" felt about Fay Wray's costume in "King Kong" "as the line went, "Whatever happened to Fay Wray, that delicate satin-draped frame. As it clung to her thigh, how I started to cry, 'cause I wanted to be dressed just the same." ("Don't Dream it, Be It" verse #1) There was a time when big television stars (Milton Berle among others) dressed in drag, but nobody thought it was any real big deal.
I always enjoyed these cartoons. I don't know if it's still on You tube. But a couple of years ago someone did a cartoon where the Wile E. Coyote gets the Roadrunner. And how it affected his life.
I'm old enough to remember Looney Tunes Buggs Bunny/ Road Runner Show in original format then edited versions, meanwhile on other channels there was GI Joe shooting the sh!t out of everything and scantily clad chics on He-Man and Thundercats. And I couldn't figure out why that was ok but Granny couldn't bop Sylvester on the head with a broomstick anymore?
I grew up in the 80s watching these and they have never given me any reason to be violent as I never been toward anyone, they actually taught me NOT to be violent as they are harmless. They are only violent if the person believes they are real. These are for entertainment and that is all. I grew up just fine with these. My favorite was Coyote and Road runner and as I wanted him to catch the bird, I also didn't want that. Coyote is a great message to say never give up on what you want no matter how touch or challenging and always get back up and go forward.
Censors are too fanatical. Too many parents don't or won't take the time to teach kids the difference between fantasy and reality or right from wrong. A lot of them want everyone else to "parent" the kids. **rant over**
I don't believe anything this dude says after he claimed the entire series Rocky & Bullwinkle was banned in Canada as a Canadian who grew up watching it. Who puts out such misinformation for the hell of it...bizarre!
@@truthseeker3031 It was never banned, period, ever. He's going to have people believing Canadians are a bunch of prudes! We didn't just sit around watching "The Littlest Hobo", lol!
A lot of these YT 'banned for XX years' videos are clickbait crap, particularly around WB cartoons - as almost all the edits made to them were done in the 1950s or early 1960s (btw - all the early looney tunes (not Merrie Melodies; Porky Pig, early Daffy etc) were BW and recolored in the 1960s...and edited at the same time) - so everyone here is complaining about the same cartoons they saw back in the day!@@isabellind1292
There was an episode or two with dialogue, because I particularly remember the one where he was explaining to two kids watching on TV just _why_ he always wanted to eat the Roadrunner: multiple flavors in each individual body part! There was also the one where Bugs Bunny took over the Roadrunner's job for an episode because he was either out sick, visiting relatives, or on vacation.
Use to love Saturday morning cartoons. I remember a kid in my neighborhood tried some of that stuff though. He got on some roller skates and strapped a bottle rocket to his back. The other kids lit it......and he didn't move at all.....but a shirt fire had to be put out.
Mr Coyote lost that lawsuit in the cartoon episode. Acme proved he failed to use the products for their intended design, and failed to follow properly provided instructions. 😅
The violence in the old Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies cartoons was so ridiculously over the top, even 4 year olds know can tell it's not real - therefore silly, not scary. We also could tell the difference between cartoon characters and real people. We knew that cartoon characters could get shot, blown up, or even run over by a steam roller, and bounce right back. But it would never happen with a person. So they never had to say "Don't try this at home, kids". With today's video games, it's not so much that they are more violent (they really aren't), it's that they are so realistic that it blurs the line between cartoon violence and real violence. And some kids lose track of the idea that what will only momentarily disable their video game hero will actually kill a real person. I don't think we need to back off on the violence in video games, we just need to make it less relistic and more Loony Tunes!
from someone who is a lifetime gamer and pushing 57 now, they video games were violent then as they are now. and i can say for shure that kids can still tell the difference.
I simply do not understand what has happened to the American people. These cartoons were so entertaining and such a big part of my life. They never caused me to be violent and they stop me from doing stupid things.😂
I was born in '65. and I grew up with many animated canines. Snoopy.. Mutley... Scooby...etc.. .. each taught me valuable life lessons even if I didn't know it at the time. Wile E. was no exception. ..use your brain(super genius), your environment and the tools available(unproven and mostly unreliable Acme) and indomitable will! Never give up!💙💙
Still one of the best cartoons ever. Speedy Gonzalez, Foghorn Leghorn, Yosemite Sam, Tweety Bird, and Pepe LePew all victims of one form of wokeness or another.
As a student of history, many people try to judge this in our past through a modern lens. We can't really do that. Were these cartoons violent? At the time they we're made, no. By today's standards, possibly. When we turn back the clock, we have to look at everything through the lens of the time. This includes media of all types. This is how we prevent more modern pieces of history being lost to time.
After being in school Mon-Fri, Saturday mornings were for kids. Once in awhile an after school special. We didn’t have 24/7 animation or kids’ entertainment. I imagine Saturday mornings were peaceful for parents. As we were glued to tv. Westerns, Godzilla. Superman. A variety.
No censorship needed. Born in 1964 I watched all the WB, Disney, and Croft shows as well as Fractured Fairy Tales, Bullwinkle and Friends , all of it for 20 or 30 years then more when I became a dad. This was all Slap Stick and unlike Punch and Judy, only the aggressors were the ones getting injured. I call that Irony or karma not malicious mischief.
I might have liked this video if it had actually identified a Road Runner installment BANNED for 45+ years. As it is, I must label its title CLICKBAIT of the most shameless kind!
Best damn cartoons EVER!!!!! These cartoons of the 70’s and 80’s were the Best.. I can remember that I couldn’t wait for Saturday!! And yes, The Roadrunner cartoon was my favorite of them all!!! I say that they need to bring all of these characters back!!
Censorship is ridiculous, I'm 66 and I grew up watching Buggs Bunny and Roadrunner, my dad introduced them to me and I watch them on DVD and share them with the grandkids!!
I was born when these cartoons were released. "Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Wyle E. Coyote... Super Genius!"... He did speak to Bugs Bunny, and I NEVER hit anyone with a Hammer, dropped an Anvil on their head or blew them up with Dynamite... I just never could find the ACME Catalogue ;)
I always thought that watching Road Runner and Coyote was the best way to enjoy life. Then... I introduced the cartoon to my grand children. WOW!!! Words fail me.
The Warner Brothers cartoons were the greatest and still are the greatest. Both adults and kids could appreciate them, and may of us still appreciate them. Among the best were the Bugs Bunny cartoons and the Coyote/Roadrunner cartoons. Any of these cartoons from the earliest appearance of Bugs Bunny in a cartoon from 1940 right through the 1960s were and still are the best. In the Bugs Bunny cartoon titled Operation Rabbit, the Coyote takes on Bugs Bunny, and it is worth seeking it out for a viewing. In this cartoon the Coyote does have a voice and speaks. When the Coyote introduces himself to Bugs Bunny, he presents his business card to Bugs and reads it to him speaking "Wile E. Coyote, Genius". Then the real fun begins. These cartoons should have never been censored, and they should never be censored again. They are a true art form. Should a censor be allowed to alter a photo of the statue of Venus de Milo, which is a classic work of art? If you do not like the cartoon, just do not watch it, don't ruin it for everyone else. Th, Th, That's All folks!
Wylie E. Coyote is my hero. He taught me that failure is no reason to quit. If you fail (fall off a cliff), get back up and try again. Never stop trying bc one day, you might just catch that roadrunner. He taught me to be optimistic also. Never give up hope no matter what Acme (the world) throws at you.
These cartoons are works of art, and should never be censored, changed, or edited. Bring back these wonderful cartoons to Saturday mornings.
Just not for children, but yeah.
@@IanDavidOnDUWhy not? Both my wife and I grew up watching these. Our kids loved them. We are all healthy, responsible adults.

My daughter is 6 years old and I got her hooked on Road Runner & Coyotes and the classic Looney Tunes. So much better than what they have today on TV.
Oh agree 💯its all freaking woke garbage cartoons now unbelievable
I loved these cartoons as a kid, and at 72years old I still do! The best cartoons ever, in my humble opinion.
The legacy of the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote cartoons is as enduring as it is iconic, spanning over seven decades of laughter and entertainment.
The crazy part is it was revealed that the Roadrunner owns Acme. So not only did he ensure his success in eluding the Coyote, he profited from it too
I knew there was a reason I never trusted that bird!
I think it was just that catapult from that one cartoon.
That would explain why the Acme products worked for everyone else, but failed for Wile E. Coyote.
WILE E. COYOTE....SUPER GENIUS!! Hilarious then and Hilarious forever! When my dad came home from work on Saturday morning, if the Road Runner came on, he would sit down and watch it . He loved it as much as we did!
I remember in one episode there was a note on the Acme invoice that stated Acme was owned by Roadrunner Industries.
Yup, it's why their products always failed.
Most of the gadgets were from Acme, but the catapult that malfunctioned in eight different ways was a product of Roadrunner Manufacturing!
Yeah, that damn catapult
I wonder if Putin knows that? The Coyote and the Roadrunner never were arrested for arms sales yet.

?
As one who grew up with Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies and all I can say is "what is wrong with you" if you think that this was somehow dangerously inciting violence. It was just funny siliness that we all understood was no representation of reality.
When the roadrunner started in 1966 I was 4 years old...
THAT'S When I started watching "Them!" ... I have often quoted "Wile E Coyote, SUPER Genius!", for his eccentric character rarely played! Without bragging, I would say that I am a connoisseur / expert on "The Roadrunner !" ...

Ok Expert Wile E. Coyote never talked in the Roadrunner Cartoons. However, he did talk when he was after Bugs Bunny where the "Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius" came from.
I say that every time I fix a customers car these days.
Road Runner cartoons started Nov. 17th, 1949. "Fast And Furry-ous".
@@RedVynil I think he is talking about the TV Show.
@@dwaynelangerhr6985
He also talked to a sheepdog who was herding sheep. Wiley was the villain trying to steal a sheep while the sheepdog foiled his plans
This title is totally misleading. The video doesn't tell about any specific cartoon or scenes which were banned but is just an overview of the characters.
F$#%ing CLICK BAIT
Exactly! I hate the clickbait, yet enjoyed it for what it was...
It doesn't name the title of a specific cartoon but it does accomplish the title (IMHO) because it explains that several of the cartoons were perhaps not banned but they were so gutted they might as well been banned.
A-MEN! I hate that crap! 💩🤬
As a kid I wanted that ACME corporation catalog I can’t name the episode but Wyle E steps into a dynamite shack and lights a match to figure out where he is🔥👀🤣
Are you sure that wasn't the one where the hillbillies were chasing Bugs Bunny and he got even with square dance calling? (One of the Pink Panther movies recycled that gag!)
I was born in 1959 and never tired of these cartoons. No, they're not violent, kids sit and laugh at them. Teachers used them in science class, the good ones did. I'm sure a few well crafted Dad Jokes were made up.
Wile E Coyote did talk at least one time that i remember when he was devising a plan and saying "Wile E Coyote Super Genious". It was so hilarious to me that ive never forgotten it
These cartoons are fantastic! No, they are not too violent for kids. Unless somehow kids can order ACME products just like Wile E. Coyote - which I am certain they can't. So worry not everyone, these cartoons are safe for all ages and need to be run forever and ever Amen😅
Thanks for your insight/Opinion Greg Charles !
Please, "PAT Yourself on the Back for ME!"
@@georgecapozzi3746 Do you clock in before you report for duty to rate people's comments?
I'm certain that if "Acme" were a real company, Amazon would carry their products. Hell, why not, they carry just about everything else, LOL
The city I grew up in had an Acme Drive In. It sat abandoned for many years until a tornado passed through and knocked the still standing screen down. Typical Acme event.
@@isabellind1292 That reminds me of a Bugs cartoon where the coyote was trying to steal sheep from a herd watched over by a sheep dog. The coyote was always getting caught and punished by the sheep dog. What I remembered was the dog and coyote had a time clock they used to start and end each day and would greet each other as they came and went.
I MISS THOSE GOOD OLD CARTOONS ... THE ORIGINAL WAY IS THE BEST WAY NO CENSORSHIPS .. AS IS NO CHANGES
The show was a family favorite from the time it first aired. Kids knew the coyote was never going to get the roadrunner. The cartoon was better than the trash cartoons that came out later.❤❤❤
While it's better than trash cartoons of later on, there were contemporary cartoons that were far better than this crap. Stop insulting children's intelligence with this repetitive nonsense of everything that ought to have worked backfiring and the coyote always falling off the stupid cliff.
Road runner and Wile E. coyote are truly classics. I grew up watching the Bugs Bunny Road Runner show.
Thank you so much for showing the clip of the Coyote catching Road Runner. I saw this as a kid, and people have been telling me for ages the episode was either a figment of my imagination or a Mandela effect kind of thing, but never actually existed. I always knew it did and would sometimes be able to find proof of it, but it's always nice to see it someone else talking about it too. lol
I tell people about this too, but no one else seems to remember. Pretty sure this was about 1997 or 98.
It was a primetime episode. In the trailers during the week leading up leading up to the episode the announcer even said, "The Coyote finally catches the Road Runner!!" No doubt that got a lot of people to tune in.
I saw a clip once of him catching the road runner, only he didn't try to eat him. Sigh, must have been some fan-made stuff.
I was born in 1970 and grew up watching cartoons. They never made me violent. My dad and I loved watching road runner cartoons!
@erichowry9356 Same with The Three Stooges. Even as a 12 year old seeing clips played on a local TV kiddie show, I knew they did to each other was not real.
same here, although it was 1971 when I was born. I miss the old Roadrunner cartoons.
When he was in his early 70s, my Dad (1919-1994) used to laugh until he hurt while watching Road Runner cartoons. It seems he laughed the most as poor Wile E. was falling, falling... and falling toward the canyon floor
Thanks for the memories, JJS
I watch rhe WB cartoons on MeTV on Saturday mornings laugh thru the whole show and my wife is looking at me with the "There's something wrong with this boy". I'm 74 and even rhough I've seen the toons countless times they still crack me up. I do hope Coyote vs Acme comes ro the theaters or a streaming service
soon.
I love the roadrunner he was my favorite along with Wylie Coyote. I think the cartoons now a days are giving ideas more than the roadrunner show. Some of the movies today make the roadrunner look whimpe today. Even cartoons have really gotten more violent these were tame compared with what’s out there today. I’m a senior now I used to love watching them on Saturday mornings and sometimes they had them on during the week. If they were in again I would like to sit
In my easy chair and enjoy with my cats.
Cartoons of yesteryear were to make us laugh out loud and have fun that was the message, now all kid's cartoons come with some socio political message that seems to go against anything good, moral, and family oriented.
Censor's went overboard. It's obviously comedy and nobody is going to take it serious at any age.
The censors were a group of fuddy-duddy, puritanical sticks in the mud who wouldn't know comedy if it introduced itself to them and could differentiate cartoon violence that never actually did any permanent harm from actual violence against others. Some people try to ignore the very true fact that violence is in our nature and has been from the very beginning and will never be truly expunged from us.
67 years old, and the roadrunner is still my favorite cartoon.
My brother and I grew up in the 60's, and watching Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner was a particular favorite. We both grew up safely. At no time, did we ever think that we could fall off a cliff and survive. Those censors should give kids some credit for having brains.
I watched these as a kid. How can anyone with a right mind think that there are too dangerous? They're hilarious. No way did I ever think "wait, if Wile could survive from falling from that great height, and make a crater in the ground, I wonder if I could...?". That thought never crossed my mind, nor anyone else in my family who watched them. And they were so fun in delivery, I remember in one episode he fell from a great height to the same point of impact around six or seven times, and everytime was different. I wish that they would bring these sorts of programs back to TV, they were so much fun.
I always watched The Roadrunner with my Dad on Saturday mornings. Dad passed last month from pneumonia following leukemia. His 88th birthday would have been Tuesday. I’ll watch some cartoons in honor of him tonight, I think. RIP, Dad. We will miss you.
Cool video. I'm 63 yo. Enjoyed the misadventures of Mr Coyote and adventures of Road Runner.
I grew up watching these cartoons and couldn't wait for the next Saturday morning to watch it again.
My phone background is a picture of both grandsons age 4 & 6 sitting on floor and cracking up while watching the classic road runner and coyote cartoons. They are now almost 14 & 16 yrs old and still love it. They absolutely love the Yosemite Sam character, Taz, Marvin the Martian, and we still do the wabbit season/duck season bit along with Sams portrayal of an Arab with camel as he says, when I says whoa I means… WHOA! lol. But hands down roadrunner was a huge hit then and with the grandkids now. We still watch the classic over the new stuff.
Growing up in the 60's was the best, great cartoons tv shows we all turned out find compared to today's kids
When Wile E. Coyote appeared in the 1956 Bugs Bunny cartoon "To Hare Is Human". Wile E. used a Univac Computer which was not an Acme product.
I remember a few episodes where he bought products from Ajax manufacturing.
I LOVED this show as a kid. My Dad would watch with me and always got a good chuckle from Wile E. Coyote's failures. Too violent? After seeing some of the things that are on today, I'd say that it's pretty tame. Bring them all back, uncut and uncensored!
Good video!!! Always watched "Bugs Bunny & the Road Runner Show" every Saturday morning during the 1960-1970s. Sometimes they would be on late Sunday mornings and would catch them after church. However, NEVER seen the version of Coyote finally catching the Road Runner as depicted in this video. A version that I distinctly remember to this day is of Coyote making a giant robot of himself and he was chasing Road Runner around the countryside. Eventually, since the robot was so LARGE and able to reach far with his arms, he was finally able to capture Road Runner. Coyote was all proud of himself and happy that he was making a feast!!!! Road Runner was tied up and about to be cooked when they both looked at each other - Coyote with a proud look of accomplishment on his face which slowly changed to pity and Road Runner with those big sorrowful eyes and scared. After some soul searching, Coyote decided to let Road Runner go, and the CHASE CONTINUED!!!! BEEP-BEEP!!!!!! At least that is what I remember, or maybe I watched something totally different, and it stuck with me for over 50+ years!!
"It’s not the kill. It’s the thrill of the chase." -Deep Purple: Knockin’ At Your Back Door 1984
Kids need to see violent cartoons. The fantasy of a character who gets worse treatment than I did made my life look not so bad in the day. The coyote always got back up and tried again. That's the lesson I learned from those cartoons in the late 60s and early 70s.
"Violent" with limits -- not like the violence they are exposed to today, but these cartoons were OK and within limits. I agree with you that these cartoons gave children a positive message -- to get back up and try again no matter how hard it is. I think they may have influenced me that way, too.
It taught perseverance and critical thinking.
Kids are too pampered these days. These were great!
With some of the video games that are out today, they see more violence (with actual blood being spilled and scattered around) than was in any of the cartoons of the '60s and early '70s. Even Tom and Jerry and some of the Bullwinkle and Rocky cartoons had violence that was more amusing than what seemed to be real-life.
In the Bullwinkle and Rocky program, there was the segment, "Fractured Fairy Tales" where the book would fall over on the Fairy Godmother, and I knew many kids who would watch it fall over on her because it was so funny to see it happen, even though we had all seen it so many times and knew it was going to happen, but there she was again, next episode, introducing the story and the book falling over and crushing her.
I miss the old cartoons. And so much else. Wish I could just go back to the 80s and stay there.
I could have sworn Wile spoke in one episode or movie, i just can't remember which. I do remember watching almost every Saturday in the early 70's.
If I remember correctly, it was the episode where two young boys were sitting in front of the tv watching and asking why the coyote didn’t give up or something along those lines and Wile e starts explaining in genius fashion.
I remember he was saying his name... "Wile E. Cayote... Suuuper Genius... I like the sound of that..."
When Bugs Bunny stepped in for the Road Runner Wile E Coyote did speak especially when introducing himself to Bugs Bunny.
@@joehajek5576thanks for the rest of my recollection. I remembered the speech & diagram, I forgot it was a 4th wall break exposition to two kids.
I grew up watching these cartoons with my grandpa sitting in his favorite recliner every Saturday morning and afterwards the both of us would take a nap I love these cartoons and still to this day I watch them even at 49 years old thank you so much for being such a huge part of my life
These cartoons are much better than any kids programs today. Really sad!
I grew up in the 60's and 70's and watched these cartoons and others unedited. Of all the cartoons the Warner Brothers were the best . Disney was too wholesome and the Tom & Jerry woody woodpecker were most violent and racist. However, I don't think they needed or need to be edited. They are great fun and don't warp a child's perception of right or wrong. I always thought that grown ups didn't give us kids enough credit.
You didn't. They ones screened in the 1960s and 70s were already edited, with the most offensive (usually 1930s vintage) Warner Brothers cartoons omitted completely. But you're right - there were/are plenty of other cartoon series far worse - and many are still out there (in terrible public domain copies) available to all.
Believe me, they didn't.
Thanks ❤ Much Love!
Wile Cartoon does speak in the Super Genius episode. As he opens the Super Genius crate he says “Wile Coyote Super Genius. I like the sound of that.”
In that episode he does try to catch Bugs Bunny, not The Roadrunner I believe. It's been so long.
Take care everyone.
And also to the kids in the one episode as to why he wanted to catch the Road Runner. "BEEP BEEP ZIP BANG!"
Used to project Roadrunner cartoons at a drive-in movie theater during intermission - viewing them outdoors on a giant screen was borderline surreal.
❤ My Favorite Cartoons Are Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner. I was Born in 1960 and grew up watching This Show also i liked sid and marty croft shows. Thanks for the Great Memories, i didnt think it was too violent. With todays society its possible. 😊😀💙💜🙏
The Road Runner/Coyote show was priceless entertainment! I remember when I was 7 years old, my 28 year old Uncle would get up early on Saturday to watch.
It wasn't too violent. We watched all that violent stuff from previous generations.
I remember one time Wile E. Stopped mid-chase to explain his desire to catch the Road Runner to two kids watching on TV.😂
Bugs and Daffy, or Bugs and Elmer were just as violent (with Bugs doing drag occasionally, which seemed to be okay), and Sylvester and Tweety's encounters were just as violent in many ways, as well as Foghorn Leghorn's interaction with the Farmyard Dog and/or 'Henry Hawk (the pipsqueak chickenhawk), but there has seemed to be no complaints about their rivalries/escapades. Why just Road Runner and Wile E, Coyote?
WHAT was "banned"?
The title is just clickbait. Several of their other videos are worded the same way.
Wil e Coyote catching the roadrunner
Yeah specifics would have been nice.
Clickbait. Never mentioned a banned cartoon.
That's a very good question. It's not a very good video if you're clickbaiting your audience.
Road runner was my favorite wasn't evil (wile E Cyote) still wish I could see him
They (censors) worry about cartoon violence yet it's ok to have drag queen story time in a public library for pre schoolers? Please bring back good, wholesome, old fashioned cartoons!
Why wouldn't it be ok to have drag queen story time for pre-schoolers? Can't see a problem. Ditto for Looney Tunes cartoons....
Like I said, the government is a bunch of liars and backbiters and they all worship the devil
@@andrewholliday251 : Homophobia is why. Maybe he's jealous of the drag queens, maybe he's a closet child molester and would like to be the one who is reading the story to them. It could even be that he's jealous of the queens' costumes and makeup, just as Dr. Frank N. Furter in the "Rocky Horror picture Show" felt about Fay Wray's costume in "King Kong" "as the line went,
"Whatever happened to Fay Wray, that delicate satin-draped frame.
As it clung to her thigh, how I started to cry,
'cause I wanted to be dressed just the same." ("Don't Dream it, Be It" verse #1)
There was a time when big television stars (Milton Berle among others) dressed in drag, but nobody thought it was any real big deal.
I always enjoyed these cartoons. I don't know if it's still on You tube. But a couple of years ago someone did a cartoon where the Wile E. Coyote gets the Roadrunner. And how it affected his life.
It is still on you tube
Iam 74 yrs. . and I loved that cartoon .
I'm old enough to remember Looney Tunes Buggs Bunny/ Road Runner Show in original format then edited versions, meanwhile on other channels there was GI Joe shooting the sh!t out of everything and scantily clad chics on He-Man and Thundercats. And I couldn't figure out why that was ok but Granny couldn't bop Sylvester on the head with a broomstick anymore?
I grew up in the 80s watching these and they have never given me any reason to be violent as I never been toward anyone, they actually taught me NOT to be violent as they are harmless. They are only violent if the person believes they are real. These are for entertainment and that is all. I grew up just fine with these. My favorite was Coyote and Road runner and as I wanted him to catch the bird, I also didn't want that. Coyote is a great message to say never give up on what you want no matter how touch or challenging and always get back up and go forward.
Censors are too fanatical. Too many parents don't or won't take the time to teach kids the difference between fantasy and reality or right from wrong. A lot of them want everyone else to "parent" the kids.
**rant over**
I don't believe anything this dude says after he claimed the entire series Rocky & Bullwinkle was banned in Canada as a Canadian who grew up watching it. Who puts out such misinformation for the hell of it...bizarre!
@@isabellind1292 Was it banned AFTER you grew-up?
@@truthseeker3031 It was never banned, period, ever. He's going to have people believing Canadians are a bunch of prudes! We didn't just sit around watching "The Littlest Hobo", lol!
A lot of these YT 'banned for XX years' videos are clickbait crap, particularly around WB cartoons - as almost all the edits made to them were done in the 1950s or early 1960s (btw - all the early looney tunes (not Merrie Melodies; Porky Pig, early Daffy etc) were BW and recolored in the 1960s...and edited at the same time) - so everyone here is complaining about the same cartoons they saw back in the day!@@isabellind1292
My Grandfather loved the Coyote & Roadrunner shows, he would watch them on Saturday morning with me.
There was an episode or two with dialogue, because I particularly remember the one where he was explaining to two kids watching on TV just _why_ he always wanted to eat the Roadrunner: multiple flavors in each individual body part! There was also the one where Bugs Bunny took over the Roadrunner's job for an episode because he was either out sick, visiting relatives, or on vacation.
Use to love Saturday morning cartoons. I remember a kid in my neighborhood tried some of that stuff though. He got on some roller skates and strapped a bottle rocket to his back. The other kids lit it......and he didn't move at all.....but a shirt fire had to be put out.
Mr Coyote lost that lawsuit in the cartoon episode. Acme proved he failed to use the products for their intended design, and failed to follow properly provided instructions. 😅
It's a cartoon. Teach kids they aren't real like they did when I was a kid. Problem solved. And I'm team Wile E Coyote "Genius".
Genius all right. In his own mind. LOL!
The violence in the old Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies cartoons was so ridiculously over the top, even 4 year olds know can tell it's not real - therefore silly, not scary. We also could tell the difference between cartoon characters and real people. We knew that cartoon characters could get shot, blown up, or even run over by a steam roller, and bounce right back. But it would never happen with a person. So they never had to say "Don't try this at home, kids". With today's video games, it's not so much that they are more violent (they really aren't), it's that they are so realistic that it blurs the line between cartoon violence and real violence. And some kids lose track of the idea that what will only momentarily disable their video game hero will actually kill a real person. I don't think we need to back off on the violence in video games, we just need to make it less relistic and more Loony Tunes!
from someone who is a lifetime gamer and pushing 57 now, they video games were violent then as they are now. and i can say for shure that kids can still tell the difference.
onomatopoeically… just one of my favorite words. But if you’re going to use it, get it right! 😂
Umm hmm.
BAM!💥
Kids see FAR WORSE in Magazines, Television, Movies, Video Games and the Internet and somehow a little Cartoon Violence is going to traumatize them?
I simply do not understand what has happened to the American people. These cartoons were so entertaining and such a big part of my life. They never caused me to be violent and they stop me from doing stupid things.😂
These cartoons were banned for years!? But yet ive never heard anyone die in my generation trying to mimic any of these classic cartoons.
When were they banned?
Hi! 49 this year and W.E.C. talked ONCE!!!!! You remember something like that!!! ❤
He did three with Bugs Bunny where he spoke a bit. (His calling card said "Wile E. Coyote: Genius"!)
And also in a cartoon where he explains to a couple of kids who are watching just why he wants to eat the Road Runner.@@Blaqjaqshellaq
@@KW-gb9cd "BEEP BEEP ZIP BANG!"
Loved this...good topic
I was born in '65. and I grew up with many animated canines. Snoopy.. Mutley... Scooby...etc..
.. each taught me valuable life lessons even if I didn't know it at the time. Wile E. was no exception.
..use your brain(super genius), your environment and the tools available(unproven and mostly unreliable Acme) and indomitable will!
Never give up!💙💙
Great show, your best yet!
Still one of the best cartoons ever. Speedy Gonzalez, Foghorn Leghorn, Yosemite Sam, Tweety Bird, and Pepe LePew all victims of one form of wokeness or another.
Dude stop.
Quit using the bastardized form of woke.

Possibly a opportunity for someone to make the parody movie "Wile E. Coyote vs Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.".
As a student of history, many people try to judge this in our past through a modern lens. We can't really do that. Were these cartoons violent? At the time they we're made, no. By today's standards, possibly. When we turn back the clock, we have to look at everything through the lens of the time. This includes media of all types. This is how we prevent more modern pieces of history being lost to time.
After being in school Mon-Fri, Saturday mornings were for kids. Once in awhile an after school special. We didn’t have 24/7 animation or kids’ entertainment. I imagine Saturday mornings were peaceful for parents. As we were glued to tv. Westerns, Godzilla. Superman. A variety.
Yes I do remember Wiley Coyote And who wouldn't that was a classic people people like old Joe thought that it would fit for humans
Has to be rich to keep buying those products and have dam good medical insurance
No censorship needed. Born in 1964 I watched all the WB, Disney, and Croft shows as well as Fractured Fairy Tales, Bullwinkle and Friends , all of it for 20 or 30 years then more when I became a dad. This was all Slap Stick and unlike Punch and Judy, only the aggressors were the ones getting injured. I call that Irony or karma not malicious mischief.
Great video. I always like this cartoon when I was growing up and I still watch it on occasion.
I might have liked this video if it had actually identified a Road Runner installment BANNED for 45+ years. As it is, I must label its title CLICKBAIT of the most shameless kind!
Ok what episode was banned??? Hate when someone uses click bait titles.
Yup. I will never watch this channel again.
Best damn cartoons EVER!!!!! These cartoons of the 70’s and 80’s were the Best.. I can remember that I couldn’t wait for Saturday!! And yes, The Roadrunner cartoon was my favorite of them all!!! I say that they need to bring all of these characters back!!
The never-ending laughs are just one part of what makes them so iconic.
Ok, but which episode was banned?
My thoughts exactly, they never mentioned it...this video seems like 'clickbait'
stop this chlickbait already: which episode was banned for 45 years? none!!
Nailed it 🔨
Censorship is ridiculous, I'm 66 and I grew up watching Buggs Bunny and Roadrunner, my dad introduced them to me and I watch them on DVD and share them with the grandkids!!
Road Runner & Wile E Coyote have been, and always will be my favorite cartoons.😀🤣
No it wasn't to violent. Look at what the kids watch!!!
They're watching Halloween and Friday the 13th. I guess coyote wasn't generating enough cash. Kicked to the curb. 😔
I was born when these cartoons were released. "Allow me to introduce myself: my name is Wyle E. Coyote... Super Genius!"... He did speak to Bugs Bunny, and I NEVER hit anyone with a Hammer, dropped an Anvil on their head or blew them up with Dynamite... I just never could find the ACME Catalogue ;)
One of the best cartoons when I was younger!
I always thought that watching Road Runner and Coyote was the best way to enjoy life. Then... I introduced the cartoon to my grand children. WOW!!! Words fail me.
I was a pyrotechnics professional for 20yrs and used Acme fireworks with no problems. But in the back of our minds were these cartoons we loved
Wile E Coyote
Best stuntman ever
He wasn't evil, he was just hangry.
The Warner Brothers cartoons were the greatest and still are the greatest. Both adults and kids could appreciate them, and may of us still appreciate them. Among the best were the Bugs Bunny cartoons and the Coyote/Roadrunner cartoons. Any of these cartoons from the earliest appearance of Bugs Bunny in a cartoon from 1940 right through the 1960s were and still are the best. In the Bugs Bunny cartoon titled Operation Rabbit, the Coyote takes on Bugs Bunny, and it is worth seeking it out for a viewing. In this cartoon the Coyote does have a voice and speaks. When the Coyote introduces himself to Bugs Bunny, he presents his business card to Bugs and reads it to him speaking "Wile E. Coyote, Genius". Then the real fun begins. These cartoons should have never been censored, and they should never be censored again. They are a true art form. Should a censor be allowed to alter a photo of the statue of Venus de Milo, which is a classic work of art? If you do not like the cartoon, just do not watch it, don't ruin it for everyone else. Th, Th, That's All folks!
Great info 👍
I always loved the theme song
Wylie E. Coyote is my hero. He taught me that failure is no reason to quit. If you fail (fall off a cliff), get back up and try again. Never stop trying bc one day, you might just catch that roadrunner. He taught me to be optimistic also. Never give up hope no matter what Acme (the world) throws at you.
As a 6 year old in 1968, you imagine my surprise at first seeing an Acme grocery store in Cape May, New Jersey...
