oscaralbert Review of Plop Goes the Weasel

Plop Goes the Weasel (1953)

What kind of a leader, Warner Bros. asks We Americans of (The Then) Far Future . . .

[7/10 · 11 December 2017]

. . . would turn over the Next Generation to Sworn Foreign Enemies, while constantly bad-mouthing the Proper Authorities as they desperately attempt to sound an alarm? In a tale ripped from Tomorrow's Headlines (that is, TODAY'S!!), Warner's crack team of Animated Shorts Seers (aka, The Looney Tuners) present Foghorn Leghorn as the subversive hot air-blathering White House Game-Show-Host-in-Chief (aka, Red Commie KGB Chief Vlad "The Mad Russian" Putin's Oval Office Sock Puppet), the Deplorable Don Juan Rump during this seven-minute cartoon, PLOP GOES THE WEASEL. Just as Rump has been getting his jollies by feeding U.S. Special Forces to Terrorists in Africa and then making fun of their widows, Foghorn Leghorn turns over an entire herd of defenseless yellow chicks to a Putin stand-in taking the form of a Wild Weasel, a congenital chicken thief. As Barnyard Dog valiantly tries to carry out his oath of office by saving America's Young, Foghornblower denigrates him at every turn, just as Rump has been Seditious to the point of Serial High Treason for nine years with his Red Commie Propaganda Sewage spewing forth from his mouth slandering his predecessor, the CIA, the FBI, Gold Star Families, Baseball, Apple Pie, and Mom's Chevrolet. Warner Bros. prophetically closes this PLOP GOES THE WEASEL outing by suggesting that hanging or a firing squad would be too pleasant of fates from a Quisling Traitor such as Rump. Instead, Warner Bros. concludes PLOP GOES THE WEASEL with Foghorn\Rump being slow roasted to death over hot coals. It's good to know that coal may prove useful for some purpose, after all.
