Cellbound	comment	One of the Tex Avery MGM Cartoons from 1955, co-directed by Michael Lah. Set mostly in the "Sing-Song prison", it features a jailbird (voiced by Paul Frees with an Oirish accent) who, after years of arduous digging, manages to escape from his cell and sneaks aboard a train, hiding inside an old TV. The plan goes terribly wrong, though...It is Avery's last cartoon for MGM, which he co-directed with unit animator Michael Lah.note Tex is credited on the later cartoons "Millionaire Droopy" and "Cat's Meow", which are Cinemascope reworkings of his old 4:3 cartoons "Wags to Riches" and "Ventriloquist Cat" respectively. If such things interest you, a model sheet for the cartoon can be found here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Cellbound / int_ae3d6438	type	Deadpan Snarker
Cellbound / int_ae3d6438	comment	Deadpan Snarker: Every word of the warden's dialogue is delivered in a calm, almost monotone voice, including his sardonic observations about the "TV shows" he watches in his office. For example, after a "boxing match" (the prisoner punching himself in the face repeatedly so that it looks like someone else punching him) ends in a KO, he drily remarks, "That's a fixed fight if I ever saw one." And when he sees the horse racing has supposedly been cancelled due to rain (the prisoner with a watering can), he mutters, "Hm. Sunny California."
