![]() Fortunately, I always carry a spare set of feathers.Any of this getting through that little old blue bonnet of yours.There's something' a little yeeeee about a boy that don't like baseball.Some popular one-liners said by Foghorn Leghorn include: When he wasn't playing pranks, Foghorn was trying to win the affections of a widowed hen named Miss Prissy, which sometimes meant watching over her son, Egghead, Jr. Another character he loved to torment was Henery Hawk, who often tried to catch and eat Foghorn.There was another character, a weasel named Bill, who sometimes joined him in aggravating the dog. He had an on-going rivalry with Barnyard Dawg as they often tried to get the better of each other.He was known to play pranks on the other characters in his cartoons. ![]() Many of the catchphrases used by Foghorn Leghorn come from Senator Claghorn.įoghorn Leghorn is an adult rooster from Kentucky with a “good ol’ boy" attitude. Foghorn refers to the loud, obnoxious voice of the character and Leghorn is a breed of chicken.įoghorn Leghorn was apparently inspired by two radio characters: a hard-of-hearing character called The Sheriff, played by Jack Clifford on a West Coast show in the 1930s and then a Southern politician, called Senator Claghorn, played by Kenny Delmar on The Fred Allen Show in the 1940s. In conclusion, wonderful and while I find much entertainment in the Foghorn Leghorn cartoons, this one is my favourite of them all.The name Foghorn Leghorn directly represents the character. Mel Blanc does a bravura job with the vocal characterisations as you'd expect. ![]() But he is not, and I don't think ever has been, as strong as the other two, Barnyard is very cunning and takes the butt of the jokes when called for well and Foghorn steals the show. Henery is a good character, cute but not too annoying, and works well with Barnyard and Foghorn. The gags are very clever and well-timed, hard to pick a favourite though, though Barnyard Dog's gestures and expressions do crack me up I have to say. The dialogue is just hilarious, The Foghorn Leghorn contains some of the wittiest and sharpest writing of any of his cartoons, even early on the repetition and similes were there as part of Foghorn and they are every bit as effective. The music is as energetic, lush and characterful as you'd expect, the impact of the humour is helped by the effectiveness of how the music matches it. The animation is crisp and vibrant, Foghorn was better drawn later on, in his early entries he was a little too overweight but it is not an issue really. ![]() This time I am not going to pull the routine or repetitive card like I have with some of Foghorn's cartoons, because here instead of trying to convince that he isn't a chicken he is trying to convince that he is one, while the basic set-up is similar as far as I know The Foghorn Leghorn is the only one to reverse the typical situation so it does stand out among the rest in that regard. Of his cartoons, The Foghorn Leghorn is my favourite. Most of his cartoons are thoroughly enjoyable, there are a few misses but the best, no matter how routine they are, are truly funny. I do like Foghorn Leghorn very much, he's not my favourite Looney Tunes character but he is one of their funniest and most distinctive.
