The Cartoon Quote Game...

Oh, Barney Rubble and Fred Flintstone; they observe their wives going about their housework, and feel uncomfortable just standing around uselessly. Therefore, implementing the Classic Male Solution, they simply go elsewhere until dinnertime.

That was cricket, Bill, thanks. Ah, I do love those animated features, so I shall dip into that well once again.

"Looks like we'll be the only two cats on the ark."
"So much for preserving the species."

Didn't take too long to find it. It's Danny and Sawyer, from "Cats Don't Dance."

That's where the quotes come from, by golly. Danny came to Hollywood brimming with talent and enthusiasm. Sawyer is the jaded ice queen secretary for Danny's agent. They get assigned as extras in a Noah's-Ark-as-musical production. Sawyer dislikes upstart Danny, who seems to be a disaster-in-progress with eyeballs. Way to shoot a guy down, girl.

Thanks, OUB. Now let's see about this quote:

"You two are players, I'm the cheerleader, and Elmo is the mascot."

Hint: She's the only girl in a team of mystery solvers consisting of herself, two boys, two ghosts, and a dog.

Oh, this is April of Hanna-Barbera's Funky Phantom series. The two players are her associates, Skip and Augie. She describes herself as a cheerleader not so much to marginalize herself, but to compliment her own beauty. Elmo is Augie's dog. I suppose that leaves Muddsy Muddlemore to be the coach, and Boo the cat to be ... Bill Belichick, maybe? The subversive that spies on the opposing team? Boo certainly doesn't play fair.

Yes, OUB, it's April Stewart. And that quote is from the episode "Pigskin Predicament," the only episode that showed the gang at their high school. Good job. .

Here's a series of quotes, all from the same character. Be advised that Post-It Notes hadn't been invented yet.

"I gotta get a 'lectrician, a 'lectrician."
"Gotta get an optician. No, gotta get a magician for Betty."
"Gotta get a politician, politician."

Can't say I'm familiar with this one.

Sorry about that; this is one for the old grunks, since it dates back to 1936. Monochrome, too, before color was invented. Involves "exercise equipment" that operates on the theory that body fat can be jiggled away.

Ah, took a while, but I found it at last. It's Little Jimmy, from "Betty Boop And Little Jimmy."

Yes, it is, this is Little Jimmy trying to remember to fetch an electrician to save Betty Boop from a haywire reducer. Which is an eccentric vibrator that agitates a long leather belt; it somehow jiggles away body fat. Once upon a time, we actually believed in this junk science. Good research, EI.

Thanks, OUB. I didn't have one last night, but I do now:

"Prepare to bionicize!"

Hint: This catchphrase is spoken by the dad, and followed by "Bionics on!"

No takers? Well, here I go: Professor Amadeus Sharp, team leader of the Bionic 6. Health care coverage? Phooey, all they need is a good mechanic.

Close, but no cigar. It's actually spoken by Jack Bennett, AKA Bionic-1. Still, you got the show right, so good job. . Take it away!

No cigar? That's okay, I don't smoke. And let us shift the focus from bionic cyborgs to spandex wonders.

"What's a pagliacci?"
"An old Italian opera. It's the story of a clown. No wonder the Joker likes it!"

Obviously, it's Batman and Robin, but I can't find the episode.
