It could be considered a SpinOff of the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes and [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Merrie Melodies]] series of cartoons, supported by a few cameos of WesternAnimation/BugsBunny and usage of Creator/MelBlanc as the voice of the bumbling Snafu, though, unlike the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons, the Private Snafu shorts were more adult, allowing a lot of scenes and gags that wouldn't have been approved by UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode (mostly, it was showing women in various states of undress, but there was also some mild ToiletHumour and swearing).
