They never played this cartoon at your local theater before a Flash Gordon matinee. (NSFW!)

You mean Kubrick didn't already change the way you see it?

You gotta love a movie where a woman gets killed by being struck with a gigantic ceramic cock 'n balls.

Failed to work in either Firefox 1.5 or IE7. What kind of shite plugin does this require?
posted by dhartung at 5:34 PM on November 28, 2006

Doesn't seem to work for me either.

There we go. Works in IE7 for me on a windows machines (I'm currently on my mac)

What are your guys talking about? I have only watched this on Firefox. It might be MetaBombed. Anyway, it is pornographic so you should not be looking at it anyway. Shame on you for even thinking about clicking on that link.

um....whoa....either the 1920s was a lot raunchier than i thought or early animators were pretty bad dudes....

Worked in Safari on my MacBook Pro. Opera didn't like it, though. Great cartoon, thanks for posting. Who knew they had sex way back then? I thought the hippies invented it in 1968.

That got me feelin' all randy. Good stuff. I wonder what animation house made this perverted filth?

Very imaginative. I'm impressed.

This is part of "The Good Old Naughty Days" DVD, along with lots of other silent movie porn.

Is this that Google Video clip that everyone was hot and bothered about the other day?

Wow.
I've seen my share of pr0n and don't consider myself prudish, but damn that was filthy.
Awesome.

The guy could have avoided crabs if he just used a condom.

Really, quite an interesting film.

I wasn't laughing till the bit on the beach. And I could tell he should never have trusted that donkey.

Of course the good old days were filthy. Ever heard of Caligula? Nothing new under the sun when it comes to humping.

You know it's a filthy movie when it ends with a glory hole beastiality scene.

Catullus is pretty raunchy too.

FWIW, this worked fine for me in firefox 2 on my mac.

It is the conceit of every generation to think they invented sex with all its variety, issues, and obsessiveness. Interesting to see such graphic proof to the contrary. And yeah, somebody's gotta know something out there about this things origin... Heh, one wonders if there aren't a few folks alive right now as a direct result of their grandparents viewing this exact movie...

It's also been part of bootleg sex cartoon compilations over the years, but I haven't seen it for ages. It's a great early short and a real eye-opener, in the same way Tijuana Bibles are for folks who've never seen them. Always nice to see filthy smut as it endures through the ages; thanks, caddis!

Years ago when I was in college, there were a bunch of competing "film societies". There were few entrance barriers to what what qualified a "society" which meant that anybody that had a print of a film could show it. Major players could scam the adminstration to provide large halls for viewing.

I'm sure that I saw that clip, maybe as an prequel to a showing of "Deep Throat". (shown for academic purposes only)

Later things setteled down and I developed a fondness for "Betty Boop" intros.

Eideteker, A.) I'm irritated at the fact that I had to follow a link that small. and B.) I'm deeply bothered that I had forgotten that song from my college radio days and had to be reminded by your post.

/Biting my knuckles in great jealousy of your awesome music matching skills.

Well done sir.

So, was a link by Eideteker to "Dteachable Penis" deleted?
posted by caddis at 3:30 AM on November 29, 2006

Having a teachable penis would be awesome. "Go to the store and get me a six pack."

No, caddis. Use the force. Or possibly the tab key.

Anyone have links to some more of these old-timey sex cartoons? Fascinating stuff and I wasn't done wanking

Try this dvd for a few more, cklennon, but most on it are from later decades.

Seems like a possible hoax to me. Is there any information anywhere about its provenance? Maybe it's really just an homage to Steamboat Willie. Willie? My first British joke!
