Trivia
YMMV
Very common in Looney Tunes cartoons. The one Missing Lynx tries to plant on a bridge in Confusions of a Nutzy Spy had "Hallelujah, I'm a Bomb" on it. Seen in some Tom and Jerry cartoons, to the point that they're almost the only type of weapon used in at least one case. Amusingly, there's an episode when Jerry tries to attack Tom with a microscopic bomb; the latter thinks it's harmless, but its power is as big as that of a regular-sized bomb, as he learns the hard way. Pick a Tex Avery short, and chances are the one you pick will have a bomb of this type somewhere in it. The villain of the Van Beuren Studios Little King cartoon "The Fatal Note" uses such a bomb to try assassinate the eponymous king, but he fails miserably. The Wallace & Gromit short "A Matter of Loaf and Death " has one. Very reminiscent of the sequence in Batman: The Movie , too. Probably deliberate. Darkwing Duck villain Splatter Phoenix, who can create objects out of thin air with magic paints, Lampshades it, lamenting about having "[To] resort to making a (beat ) cartoon bomb ! " Danger Mouse has at least five in the opening sequence alone. Not to mention the page image. Discussed in The Venture Bros. , when the Monarch and his henchmen reminisce about the good old days. 24 happily refers to it as simply a "round bomb", while miming the shape with his hands. He also once implemented a Plunger Detonator . In the Batman: The Brave and the Bold episode "Game Over for Owlman!", in the big climactic fight scene, The Joker basically pulls out a big Cartoon Bomb and runs around, giggling like the maniac he is, for the entire fight. Inspector Gadget : In the opening sequence, Gadget thinks he's arresting Dr. Claw, but then the chair spins around, it's a phony arm, and guess what's on the chair? Then the explosion forms the title, with the Inspector himself forming the "I". They're occaionally used by MAD Agents (natch) during the show, though they actually tend to be bright red as opposed to black. The Tick : A favorite of The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight. For bigger jobs, though, he uses a more advanced, disc-shaped Incredibly Obvious Bomb , complete with visible timer and beeping. On Jimmy Two-Shoes , they are used by Heloise on Lucius, and by a weevil on Beezy in the same episode. The Simpsons : Not surprisingly, these are occasionally seen in some "Itchy and Scratchy" segments, although they tend to do a lot more damage to poor Scratchy than to the majority of other victims on this page. In House of Mouse , one of the short cartoon segments was called "Donald's Dynamite", in which Donald Duck finds a Cartoon Bomb while doing some mundane activity (fishing, bowling, et cetera) and tries increasingly desperate and zany things to dispose of it, none of which work. In an early episode of Family Guy , when Meg is trying to interview Quahog mayor/resident Cloud Cuckoolander Adam West, he ditches her by having an aide slip her a cartoon bomb. The explosion leaves Meg with Ash Face , and a Daffy Duck-like bill, which she uses to say "Of course you realize this means war!" This also shows up near the end of the first act of the Mr. Bogus episode "Bogus Private Eye ". Bogus and Brattus confront the weasels in the sewers while disguised as gangsters, which includes Brattus trying to blow open a safe with a cartoon bomb, with disastrous results. Hilarity Ensues . On an episode of Duckman , the detective is visited by a Robin Leach-type character who insists someone is trying to kill him. As evidence, he shows Duckman a note, a gun, a knife, and finally a cartoon bomb with the fuse lit. Duckman dismisses the first three as coincidental; when presented with the bomb, he nonchalantly says, "I get these every day," and casually tosses it out the window. One animated sequence on Sesame Street taught the word "peligro" note Spanish for "danger" by having the "O" be a cartoon bomb, which detonated at the end, after the two parts of the word said the whole word simultaneously. (The "GR" seems to have been a suicide bomber, in retrospect.) The Dick Tracy Show episode "Bomb's Away" takes this and adds a timer to it. It's called the Kapow Bomb which could level a city. Stooge Viller and Mumbles have it and are demanding a ransom for it. Another episode has Hemlock Homes pulling one of these out of a cannon through the fuse slot.
