Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })"The Oily American" is a 1954 one-shot Looney Tunes short directed by Robert McKimson. It stars a wealthy but bumbling Native American named Moe Hican and his sarcastic Jeeves-like butler, Jarvis.This might just be the most bizarre cartoon McKimson has ever directed. In it, Moe lives in a mansion... but resides in a teepee within its master bedroom. He has a "forest room" on the mansion's first floor, where on a daily basis, wild animals are delivered for him to hunt. What's more, he reaches the forest room by running a water faucet down his staircase into the Forest Room and then canoeing to it through the running stream. The cartoon's plot concerns him hunting a wild moose with a tiny body but huge head, while Jarvis acts as his backup (and becomes the victim of every single one of Moe's shots).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The cartoon is rarely seen now on television, due to its stereotypical depiction of Native Americans. | |

Big Shadow, Little Creature: The moose, in one scene, casts a large shadow over a rock. It turns out he's perched on a table. | |

Butt-Monkey: Jarvis, who always winds up on the receiving end of every single one of Moe's attempts at catching the moose. | |

The Oily American / int_8a6d2168 | comment |
Beat Them at Their Own Game: The moose sees right through Moe's "moose love call" and counters it with his own "Indian love call." Moe, on the other hand, falls for the call hook, line, and sinker. | |

The Oily American / int_bcd27e37 | comment |
Improbable Aiming Skills: Played with. No matter which weapon Moe uses, it has the effect of a Homing Projectile against his butler. Not even Jarvis' resignation keeps him from being on the other side of the weapon. | |
