Oswald the Lucky Rabbit/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Two in "Oh What A Knight": First, Oswald detaching his head to keep his head from being chopped off, and then leaving his shadow behind to fight for him while he goes to his girl. Yeah.
  • In "Trolley Troubles", as Oswald's oiling up the trolley, a little bunny stands nearby and observes. Annoyed, Oswald moves him aside, and squirts him with a shot of oil to knock him away.
  • The trade to get Oswald back to Disney is bizarrely funny on a meta level. They traded experienced broadcaster Al Michaels (John Madden's frequent commenting partner) for a cartoon character. Even Michaels thought it was funny. For many Disney fans, it's correcting an eighty year long blunder, but in the very simpliest form, Disney traded a human being for a cartoon rabbit
  • In the 1930 Lantz cartoon "Not So Quiet", Oswald is a World War I soldier sent by Pegleg Pete to deliver a message to the western front. Upon delivering the message, he reads it over the receivers' shoulder: Shoot this guy at sunrise. The sun begins to rise, and Oswald reaches over the horizon and pushes it down; it's visibly, and hilariously, annoyed.
    • Later, a cannonball is coming at Oswald--but then cheers sound offscreen, and someone puts a sign up reading "Armistice is Signed." The cannonball laughs, cheerily shakes hands with Oswald, and melts away.
