A Wartime Cartoon series made during the 1940s, starring the eponymous Private Snafunote An acronym for "Situation Normal, All Fucked Up" — though the "Fucked" part would be Bowdlerised as "Fouled" set during the struggle of World War II. Produced by Warner Bros. for the Army-Navy Screen Magazine, these cartoons showed Snafu's adventures in the Army. They usually ended with various lessons concerning proper military behavior, via the confoundingly insipid acts of the brash but ignorant Snafu.It could be considered a Spin-Off of the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons, supported by a few cameos of Bugs Bunny and usage of Mel Blanc as the voice of the bumbling Snafu, though, unlike the Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons, the Private Snafu shorts were more adult, allowing a lot of scenes and gags that wouldn't have been approved by The Hays Code (mostly showing women in various states of undress and other sexual referencesnote like the malaria mosquito who looks and acts like a worn-out, alcoholic prostitute forced out of her profession due to a crackdown on vice as seen on "It's Murder She Says", but there was also some crude humornote Private Snafu usually ends up naked due to an explosion or gets poked in the butt or pokes someone else in the butt, but "Fighting Tools" had Snafu fire a gun that shoots up mud with the kind of gross, squelchy noise one would associate with diarrhea and swearingnote mostly "hell" and "damn").The Private Snafu shorts were largely sealed away after the end of the war, never to be seen again... until Cartoon Network aired some as part of two Toon Heads specials: one about Warner Bros.' lost and rare works and another about World War II cartoons. A few shorts appeared as extras in the Looney Tunes: Golden Collection DVDs (and there's even a documentary on how the shorts were made and what impact they had on the history of animation). Because the films were created by the US federal government, they have been in the Public Domain since day one, and some of them are available for viewing on the Internet Archive.A complete chronological DVD release of the whole set of Private Snafu cartoons, newly remastered from the best extant film elements, was released by Thunderbean in December 2010. A high-definition BluRay version was released in 2015.Oh, and Thedore Geisel (better known as Dr. Seuss) wrote many of the early shorts in his characteristic rhyme. Think about that next time you read any of his children's books (The Cat in the Hat, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, Green Eggs and Ham, etc) to your son/daughter/younger sibling/younger relative/children at school.

Hotter and Sexier
 Private Snafu / int_108c268e
comment
Hotter and Sexier: Compared with the general release Looney Tunes cartoons (which do get a little risque at times, but are pretty much bound by The Hays Code not to go too far), these cartoons featured a lot more female nudity, swearing (mostly "hell" and "damn," which back then, were considered taboo), and more "adult" jokes, since their audience were young, male, semi-educated soldiers who needed the morale boost when fighting overseas and enjoyed lowbrow humor and the scantily-clad women. If Looney Tunes was The Simpsons of the 1930s and '40s, Private Snafu was the South Park.

I Was Quite a Looker: In "It's Murder She Says", Anopheles Annie says this to other female mosquitos in the bar, and in flashback she does look very attractive—for an anthropomorphic mosquito—before the US Army's malaria eradication program turned her into the broken down wreck she is now.

Playing Sick: In "The Goldbrick", Snafu fakes being sick so he can get of drill in the rain, and spends the day cosied up in bed being tended to by a Hospital Hottie. However, avoiding training leaves him unprepared when his unit goes into action in the South Pacific.

comment
Not-So-Harmless Villain: Though the Nazi forces tend to be given the same silly front as standard Looney Tunes examples (right down to Mel Blanc's goofiest German accent), they are treated as much more lethal and resilient, and sometimes even successfully bump off Snafu in the end. Justified as these shorts were for the purpose of military viewing and showing soldiers to take their jobs and enemies seriously.

The Cameo
 Private Snafu / int_1b65dfad
comment
The Cameo: Bugs Bunny cameos in the shorts "Gas" and "Three Brothers". Daffy Duck cameos in "Fighting Tools". And Snafu's design was recycled from a soldier briefly seen in the 1942 Chuck Jones short "The Draft Horse", making it a pre-debut cameo. Plus, Snafu himself makes an appearance in the Animaniacs short "Boot Camping".

Where's My Gun?
 Private Snafu / int_1b72be3
comment
Where's My Gun?: Happens several times to Snafu as a result of his general ineptitude. In "Fighting Tools", he has trouble finding his rifle, and the machine gun and howitzer are located a stupidly long way from his tent (although given everything else he has done to his weapons, not knowing their whereabouts is the least of his problems). In "Gas", it is his gas mask that he can't locate.

Gossip Evolution: Military style! "Rumors" begins with Snafu being informed that it looks like a good day for a bombing, taking this to mean that they're about to get bombed, and spreading to others who in turn spread it until it becomes a rumor that they're about to lose the war. (In a nice touch of visual metaphor, the passage of the rumors is represented by baloney flying out of people's mouths.)

Downer Ending: It's of the Played for Laughs sort, but often Snafu bought the farm. Sometimes subverted and he wises up and survives, such as the gas-mask episode.

A Fool and His New Money Are Soon Parted: The episode "Payday" follows this plot with Snafu. While Private Snafu's pay won't make him rich, it's enough that after the war he could afford to support a wife, a child, and to live in a suburban house and drive a new car. Or it would have been if he didn't waste it all during the war.

Let's Meet the Meat: "The Chow Hound." Not only does the steer want people to eat him, but after seeing all the brave men volunteering to serve, he leaves his blushing bride on the wedding night in order to volunteer as food for allied soldiers. Since the episode is a warning to soldiers not to waste food, the end of the episode features the ghost of the steer eagerly watching as Snafu eats a plate of him, and actually becoming dismayed and angry when Snafu leaves half his meal unfinished.

Pathetic Drooping Weapon: Justified in "Fighting Tools", that details the importance of weapon maintenance. Snafu is shown employing a Vicker's Machine Gun against a German soldier, but since Snafu didn't hook up the cooling jacket's water supply, the barrel goes floppy as the weapon liquifies into a puddle, not unlike melting ice cream.

Mime and Music-Only Cartoon
 Private Snafu / int_688d3a5b
comment
Mime and Music-Only Cartoon: "Pay Day", by Friz Freleng, is pretty much dialog free, relying on music and timing to accentuate the visual gags. The only dialog is at the very end. Similarly "Operation Snafu" (also by Freleng) is a mostly silent cartoon besides some gibberish by the Japanese caricatures.

Those Wacky Nazis
 Private Snafu / int_697b5232
comment
Those Wacky Nazis: Adolf Hitler and the Nazis that show up. Defied in a way, as many Nazis —and even the Japanese— though somewhat comical, are shown as far more competent than their bumbling counterparts seen in civilian propaganda. Several of Snafu's screwups result in Nazi victories (Weapons of War, where a Nazi captures Snafu since the latter had taken poor care of his equipment and Spies, where Nazi spies send information straight to Hitler, who sends his U-boat fleet after the Ship Snafu is on). The reason for this is that civilian propaganda's aim was to allay fears at home by depicting the Axis powers as a joke, while the goal of military propaganda was to demonstrate the opposite, telling soldiers that their enemies were a real, very dangerous threat and had to be taken seriously.

Mobile Shrubbery: In "A Lecture on Camouflage", after his jeep is shot by a Nazi shell, Snafu takes cover in the nearby woods, but the Technical Fairy First Class reminds him to cover his tracks. After doing so, it is time for Snafu to relax. He smokes under the shade of a tree. He is not alarmed when the tree asks for a light, speaking in a German accent. The Fairy has to remind him that the enemy can use camouflage too. Snafu sneaks away, but he is being followed by enemy soldiers posing as a tree, a tree stump, and a boulder.

Guess the Army won't let you be a screw up forever...

Clip Its Wings: In "Coming Snafu", Snafu is towing a plane and, as usual, not paying attention when he drives between two pylons and rips the wings off it.

Ms. Fanservice: When the story calls for it, the female characters could be sexy in a way that The Hays Code would never allow. In "The Home Front," Snafu complains that his grandfather is doing no work for the war, but spends his time watching the girly shows, which are shown relatively explicitly for the era.

Bizarre Seasons: The extreme changeability of the weather is one of the main sources of humour in "In the Aleutians - Isles of Enchantment". A Running Gag is Snafu marching along and passing from broiling sunshine to blizzards to torrential rains in a matter of steps, with him constantly changing clothes to fit the weather.

Grass Is Greener
 Private Snafu / int_b3f77675
comment
Grass is Greener: "The Infantry Blues" has Snafu griping about how difficult being in the infantry is and wishes he was in the Tank Corps, Navy, or Air Force where they have it easier. Technical Fairy First Class shows up to show Snafu that things are just as difficult in the other branches and everyone needs to work hard to achieve victory. In "The Home Front," Snafu envies his family and girlfriend back stateside, and how they have their usual, comfortable lives while he has to suffer in deployment. He soon sees that every one of them (including the grandfather) are also very hard at work to support the war effort, through construction, keeping a war garden, and joining the WAC.

Felony Misdemeanor: The cartoons were commissioned by the military during wartime, so they were highly classified, to the point that artists who worked on them had to paint individual frames out of order so they would not know the secret contents. The irony of course is that if they had fallen into the wrong hands, the enemy would have learned completely innocuous facts such as not to spread rumors and always use mosquito netting.

Defied Trope
 Private Snafu / int_ec02c97e
comment
Defied in a way, as many Nazis —and even the Japanese— though somewhat comical, are shown as far more competent than their bumbling counterparts seen in civilian propaganda. Several of Snafu's screwups result in Nazi victories (Weapons of War, where a Nazi captures Snafu since the latter had taken poor care of his equipment and Spies, where Nazi spies send information straight to Hitler, who sends his U-boat fleet after the Ship Snafu is on). The reason for this is that civilian propaganda's aim was to allay fears at home by depicting the Axis powers as a joke, while the goal of military propaganda was to demonstrate the opposite, telling soldiers that their enemies were a real, very dangerous threat and had to be taken seriously.

Incredibly Conspicuous Drag: Snafu in "Operation Snafu" is not particularly convincing as a woman, but still apparently manages to fool a guard. In defense of the poor short-sighted Japanese gentleman it must be said that Snafu passed the Eek, a (Mechanical) Mouse!! test. Also, the Japanese officer knew it was Snafu, and soon after getting close to him, reaches down his dress in search of the intelligence he had stolen. Snafu slaps him, of course.

Rhymes on a Dime: Geisel's trademark rhyming shows up mainly in "Gripes", "Spies", and "Rumors" (the latter, only in the narration).
