HELP!!! What Cartoon w/ Beavers in an Ambulance?
|
|
|
This has plagued me and my friends for months and even crossed into friends in different countries. We are trying to remember in which cartoon (episode even) there was a character that crashed a motorcycle, and an ambulance w/ 2 beavers (or beaver-like) got out and put the motorcycle in the stretcher instead of the driver and then drive it off. rocko's modern life was our first guess, but try as i did wasn't able to find the episode to confirm it.
This is a much bigger deal than I care to admit.
Thanks

The gag with the beavers and the stretcher has been employed in a number of Rocko's Modern Life shorts. It was used in "Sand in Your Navel", as well as in "Tickled Pinky", and also in "Zanzibar" to name only 3 examples.

The beavers and the stretcher also showed up on "Carnival Knowledge" in a bumper-car ambulance. They always went "Hup hup hup hup hup hup hup hup hup hup!"
They seemed more popular in the first and second seasons of "Rocko's Modern Life."

People think I am crazy just because I didn't like "Ratatouille." Am I REALLY crazy, or do I see things differently?

Of course the gag of ambulance drivers (or EMS as they're called today) carrying off a motorcycle on a stretcher instead of the actual accident victim goes further back to the 1930's. That gag was used by a number of different studios (Warner Bros., Famous Studios, MGM, etc.) so it's difficult to pinpoint who actually came up with it first.
