History WesternAnimation / HoneysMoney

** Here, it's a little more downplayed than in the cartoon's [[WesternAnimation/HisBitterHalf spiritual predecessor]]. The widow in this cartoon is, at least, strongly protective of her son and actually shows some appreciation for Sam playing "Horsey" with him (not to mention, the Wentworth in this cartoon is ''far'' more pleasant and likeable than the one in WesternAnimation/HisBitterHalf). She's also less loud and abrasive than the widow in the prior cartoon.

'''Honey's Money''' is a 1962 WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes animated short starring WesternAnimation/YosemiteSam. It was directed by Creator/FrizFreleng. It is one of two cartoons in which Sam starred without WesternAnimation/BugsBunny (the other being ''WesternAnimation/AlongCameDaffy'', in which he co-starred with WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck).

!!Tropes:

'''Honey's Money''' is a 1962 WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes animated short starring WesternAnimation/YosemiteSam. It was directed by Creator/FrizFreleng.

* StockFootage: The scene where Sam walks up to the widow's door while muttering about what he'll do with her money is reused from Freleng's "Hare Trimmed."

* WorthIt: Sam attempts to storm out at the end of the short much as Daffy did in its predecessor; however, unlike Daffy, the thought of five million dollars is enough to send him running back.

* [[WickedStepmother Wicked Stepfather]]: If trying to kill his stepson ''doesn't'' put Yosemite Sam into this trope, nothing does.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Sam's wife disappears for the rest of the cartoon after ordering him to get the ball from traffic.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: During his initial attempt to woo the widow Sam's list of compliments are her baby blue eyes, her ruby red lips and her [[GoldDigger emerald green money]].

* {{Bowdlerization}}: On Nickelodeon, the part where Yosemite Sam tries to get rid of Wentworth by throwing a ball into traffic so he can go get it and get run over was cut to remove Wentworth getting the ball and not getting hit (as the censors don't want kids getting the idea that they can do the same thing and get the same results), but not the part where Sam tries again, only for his wife to catch him and force him to get the ball in traffic (only to get run over). [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Funnily enough, this cartoon was shown uncut on the channel from 1993 to 1995]].

* BitchInSheepsClothing: In line with the previous cartoon, the wealthy widow plays sweet long enough for Sam to marry her, upon which she immediately whips him into doing chores and taking care of her son that she had (somehow) kept secret from him. Hasty weddings are a blast arent they?

* {{Gonk}}: The widow, who sends Sam running in the opposite direciton when they meet, and only goes through with the wedding for the money. Also Wentworth, to a lesser extent.

* StockFootage: The scene where Sam walks up to the widow's door while muttering about what he'll do with her money is reused from Freleng's ''Hare Trimmed''.

* GentleGiant: Wentworth.
* GoldDigger: Sam. It backfires badly.

** HouseHusband: Sam is forced to be this by his overbearing wife.

* SharkPool[=/=]NeverSmileAtACrocodile: Sam puts alligators on the swimming pool to kill Wentworth. Wentworth jumps in and causes such a big splash that it sends all the alligators back towards Sam.

* VocalDissonance: You'd expect a big Neanderthal like Wentworth to have a [[SimpletonVoice deep, oafish voice]]. He instead has a regular child's voice.

This short was the most recent one listed in animation historian Jerry Beck's book ''The100GreatestLooneyTunes'', and one of only two released in the 1960s, giving this cartoon an argument as the last great Looney Tunes short of the classic era. The central premise and most of the gags are [[RecycledScript borrowed from]] the WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck cartoon "WesternAnimation/HisBitterHalf", made a dozen years earlier. It was changed to make the stepson more likeable and the stepfather more hateable. There's also reused animation from "WesternAnimation/HareTrimmed". Freleng recycled the script and gags yet again for the 1970 ''Roland and Ratfink'' cartoon "A Taste of Money".

* TheAllAmericanBoy: Wentworth is a borderline mentally handicapped version of this.
