Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Wrong Way Butch is a 1950 short film (ten minutes) directed by Dave O'Brien (credited as David Barclay), produced by Pete Smith.It's one of the many "Pete Smith Special" short films that Smith turned out for MGM for over 20 years. In this one, produced in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Labor, Smith demonstrates unsafe workplace practices. A factory worker named Butch (Dave O'Brien, credited under his real name), bumbles around a factory floor, with various unfortunate consequences. Get distracted by a hot babe in a tight sweater, and you might whack your fingers with a hammer. Leave an acetylene torch out on the floor, and you might give yourself a hotfoot. Get careless around a mechanical ram, and that ram might just give you a whack in the skull. The climax comes when Butch operates a vertical saw, his vulnerable fingers creeping ever closer to the blade.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Fingore: Butch hits his finger with a hammer. Later, he nearly slices a finger off with a mechanical saw, then faints dead away when he realizes how close he came. | |

Extra Digits: One gag has Butch drive a chisel through the toe of his shoe. The shoe being nailed to the floor, he pulls his foot out, and confirms that his toes are unharmed. All six of them. | |

| Wrong Way Butch / int_e7cd994c | comment |
Anti-Role Model: Poor Butch is a living illustration of what can happen to a worker on a factory floor who doesn't take elementary safety precautions. Don't lose focus around a mechanical saw! | |
