| Beany and Cecil | comment |
A classic television cartoon series created, produced and directed by former Looney Tunes director Bob Clampett, Beany and Cecil covers the escapades of an adventurous boy named Beany, and his friend, a sea-sick serpent named Cecil, as they get into all sorts of trouble across the world with Beany's treasure-hunting Uncle Huffenpuff and their enemy, Dishonest John.Clampett first brought the characters to life in 1949 as a puppet show for TV entitled Time for Beany, which ran until 1955 and proved so popular it eventually received an animated adaptation, also helmed by Clampett. The show was relatively short lived (only 26 episodes on ABC, all broadcast in 1962) but has gained a healthy cult following over the years. The Clampett family has also released the entire series on two DVD collections, packed with plenty of supplementary material, including an ultra-rare short Clampett made for Republic Pictures!Beany and Cecil also has one other quirk which almost never happens in media. The listed copyright owner of the cartoons was not some corporate entity or animation company, but Bob Clampett personally. Individuals almost never get to own the rights to their creations because they're employees and thus it's a work for hire or they often incorporate their own company and have it own their work for tax reasons.A revival of the series was attempted in the late 1980s by Bob's family and John Kricfalusi, but promptly crumbled following creative differences between Kricfalusi and the editors. The series was quickly cancelled after only 5 episodes had aired.The Clampett family set up a website for the series, as well as a Youtube Channel and Facebook page. They also released an updated version of the first DVD collection. | |

| Beany and Cecil / int_1235f055 | comment |
Dirty Coward: Captain Huffenpuff. More often than not, after telling Beany and Cecil what their mission or task for the episode is, he will go hide (usually in the Leakin' Lena's cabin; in "Spots Off a Leopard" it explicitly says "HIDING ROOM" above the cabin door) and leave Beany and Cecil to carry out the task themselves, but not before he makes a pun relating to his hiding. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| Beany and Cecil / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Plenty of examples! "So What and the Seven Whatnots" has the Whatnots all based off well-known celebrities of the time, including Stacsh-do, Elfis, Harpsy McChord, Dizzy R. Neznote Desi Arnaz, Fred McFurry (reimagined as a Scotsman due to his name), Screw-Loose Latrec and Loverachi. "Beany and Cecil Meet the Invisible Man" has Edgar Allen Po's Shadow, who is based off Alfred Hitchcock (but talks like Elmer Fudd). "The Phantom of the Horse Opera" has the titular phantom's voice and mannerisms based off comedian Jerry Colonna. Then at the end when he's smashed into a pile of rocks and shaped into a sphinx, his face takes on Colonna's likeness, completing the resemblance. | |

The Good Guys Always Win | |
| Beany and Cecil / int_2cbadc | comment |
The Good Guys Always Win: Beany and Cecil always triumph over Dishonest John, or any other villain they come across. This is even part of their song. "The Fleastone Cop Caper" is a Deconstruction and Reconstruction. Dishonest John invites himself over to Beany and Cecil's place to watch the latest episode of Show Within a Show "The Defective Story", because he read "the bad guy beats the good guy". The episode's villian, The Pincher, kidnaps actress Bridgette Bow-Wow and is seemingly rendered a Karma Houdini by evading detective Fido Vance's capture and marrying Bridgette. To Beany and Cecil's delight (and D.J.'s disappointment), karma catches up to The Pincher as he is shown to be a Henpecked Husband trapped in an Awful Wedded Life. | |

To which said "duck" yanks the mouse mask off Thunderbolt to reveal a brown Bugs Bunny-esque mask, prompting the following exchange, referencing a few other incidental characters in the process... | |

Friendly Enemy: Our heroes are surprisingly chummy with that "dirty guy" Dishonest John. There's even a short where he's in the hospital after a failed caper and they show up bearing gifts, and in the New Adventures episode "The Brotherhood of B.L.E.C.H.", it's even a plot point - where the heroes are so friendly with him that he's incapable of proving to other bad guys that he's a real villain. | |

Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: A Mickey Mouse-esque doll appears in one episode on Cecil's head. Also in "Beany & Cecil Meet Billy The Squid" (first produced in 1959 and screened in Canadian theatres), Uncle Captain is wearing Mickey Mouse ears. In "The Seventh Voyage of Singood," when Captain Huffenpuff tells the crew to watch out for Singood the Sailor Man (actually Dishonest John), Cecil's face turns into Popeye. In "The Wildman of Wildsville," Go Man Van Gogh paints a TV test pattern on Cecil's face and turns one of his nostrils. Cecil's eyes conjoined to form the CBS eye. | |

Leitmotif: Dishonest John has one, in the form of a piano rendition of "Mysterioso Pizzicato" (a.k.a. "The Villain's Theme"). | |

Hand-or-Object Underwear: "Wild Man of Wildsville" has a scene where Go Man Van Gogh falls out of his pelt after it snags on a branch. As he falls naked, he has his hands over his genitals. | |

Meaningless Villain Victory | |
| Beany and Cecil / int_a7c91a10 | comment |
Meaningless Villain Victory: In "The Fleastone Cop Caper". Dishonest John is really excited to see the Show Within a Show "Defective Story" because he's read The Bad Guy Wins. Said bad guy succeeds in kidnapping a beautiful actress and escaping arrest from the detective protagonist, but ends up trapped as a miserable Henpecked Husband (which the show's narrator calls "a life sentence in solitary confinement"). | |

Demoted to Extra: "Never Eat Quackers in Bed" only has Beany, Cecil and Captain Huffenpuff appear in a brief restaurant scene early on in the episode; otherwise it largely focuses on Willy the Wolf attempting to catch a duck. | |

Show Within a Show | |
| Beany and Cecil / int_c2393191 | comment |
"The Fleastone Cop Caper" is a Deconstruction and Reconstruction. Dishonest John invites himself over to Beany and Cecil's place to watch the latest episode of Show Within a Show "The Defective Story", because he read "the bad guy beats the good guy". The episode's villian, The Pincher, kidnaps actress Bridgette Bow-Wow and is seemingly rendered a Karma Houdini by evading detective Fido Vance's capture and marrying Bridgette. To Beany and Cecil's delight (and D.J.'s disappointment), karma catches up to The Pincher as he is shown to be a Henpecked Husband trapped in an Awful Wedded Life. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Beany and Cecil / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: AC/DC's title "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" is a reference to a phrase used by Dishonest John. Harecules the Hare wears a long red sweater with his initial on it. He also wears horn-rimmed Nerd Glasses similar to Simon's. After Cecil's face (with a Mickey Mouse doll on it) gets mauled by a cat, he says, "I tawt I taw a putty tat!". Since Clampett also created Tweety, this doubles as a Creator In-Joke. Cecil gets wrapped up in a strait-jacket meant for the Wildman of Wildsville, and the sleeves are raised up making him look like a rabbit. He quips "Eh...What's up, pops?". The Wildman paints a giant carrot for him and says "Don't 'Bugs' me, man...don't 'Bugs' me!" "Super Cecil" and "So What and the Seven Whatnots" both contain a reference to the classic Anacin pain reliever commercials (by cutting away to inside Cecil's head, where a hammer is striking and an electrical spark is arcing, etc.) Speaking of which, you get one guess what Super Cecil is a reference to. "Beanyland" is a tongue-in-cheek spoof of Disneyland and includes attractions such as "Slipping Beauty Castle" and "Day After Tomorrow Land". "So What and the Seven Whatnots" is a reference to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, with Dishonest John playing the part of the witch who gives So White the poisoned apple. The three little pigs in "Sleeping Beauty and the Beast" resemble the Disney versions. | |

Self-Deprecation: In the New Adventures episode "Framed Freep", Dishonest John asks if "Help, Beany, help" is all Princess Princess is ever going to say in the episode. Princess Princess answers that it is and provides Dishonest John with a copy of the script to prove it. After seeing for himself, Dishonest John remarks "What kind of jerk wrote this?" | |

Art Evolution: In early shorts, Beany and Cecil resembled illustrated versions of their puppet forms, with Eyes Always Shut in effect for Beany. Their designs quickly became more streamlined and cartoony, with Beany having his eyes open more often. | |
