Mexicali Shmoes is a 1959 Looney Tunes cartoon, starring Speedy Gonzales. It was directed by Friz Freleng.Two cats, chubby Jose and his skinny friend Manuel, are lazing about, singing badly, when Speedy Gonzales shows up and essentially eggs them into a chase. Manuel is about to take off after Speedy when Jose stops him and tells him that it's no use chasing after Speedy, "the fastest mouse in all Mexico." Jose then explains that they have to use their wits to catch Speedy. Comic hijinks ensue as Speedy proves that he's as smart as he is fast.One of two appearances of Speedy's cousin Slowpoke Rodriguez, the slowest mouse in all Mexico, who as it turns out has a trick of his own. | |

Genre Savvy | |
| Mexicali Shmoes / int_1777688d | comment |
Genre Savvy: Jose warns Manuel that they have no chance at catching Speedy by just running after him since the mouse completely outmatches them speed-wise, so he suggests using their wits to get him. Unfortunately, Speedy is as smart as he is fast. | |

Ash Face | |

Ash Face: Manuel gets this when the dynamite inside Speedy's hole blows up; Jose gets it at the end when he's shot in the face by Slowpoke. | |

Guile Hero | |
| Mexicali Shmoes / int_2a02e5c9 | comment |
Guile Hero: Speedy often used his wits as well. When the cats stuff a stick of dynamite in his hole, he sneaks up behind them and pops a plastic bag to trick them into thinking the dynamite exploded. The predictable result follows. | |

Mundane Solution | |
| Mexicali Shmoes / int_3c7022ce | comment |
Mundane Solution: Slowpoke is the slowest mouse of all Mexico, and thus can't use Speedy's tricks to stay out of trouble. So instead he carries a gun. | |

Bowdlerization | |
| Mexicali Shmoes / int_a49914aa | comment |
Bowdlerization: When this cartoon is aired on Cartoon Network and Boomerang, the end gag where Jose captures Slowpoke Rodriguez was edited to remove the part where Slowpoke shoots Jose in the face with a gun just as Manuel tries to warn him that Slowpoke Rodriguez keeps a gun on him. | |

For the Evulz | |
| Mexicali Shmoes / int_adfd3165 | comment |
For the Evulz: From the hero, oddly enough, but there's no reason given for why Speedy runs up and dares the cats to chase after him. After sticking his head in the mousehole and realizing that the stick of dynamite has not exploded yet, Jose gets Manuel to stick his head in instead. This is after the two briefly fight over who gets to eat Speedy. | |

I Warned You: Manuel tried to warn Jose that Slowpoke carries a gun. Unfortunately, Jose runs off after hearing about Slowpoke before Manuel can warn him and gets shot. Jose's response, in the absolute last shot of the cartoon: | |
