Wacky Races	comment	Derived from the live-action comedy film The Great Race, Wacky Races is a Hanna-Barbera cartoon production where drivers in 11 outlandish vehicles compete in absurd cross-country races. Hilarious hijinks ensue, partly due to whatever area they are racing through, but mostly due to the absurd lengths to which one racer (Dick Dastardly, the quintessential Dastardly Whiplash) goes to cheat and sabotage the race, even though these attempts backfire in the end and cause him to always finish in last place (if he even finishes at all).Hanna-Barbera gave co-credit for it to Heatter-Quigley (the producers of The Hollywood Squares) on CBS Saturday morning in 1968, where Wacky Races marked the end of H-B's Super Hero adventure cycle and a return to slapstick comedy. Heatter-Quigley was to have provided a live game show segment in which children won prizes for predicting the outcome of the races; CBS nixed the plan, but Hanna-Barbera kept Heatter-Quigley in the end credits (even though the end copyright still reads "Â© 1968 by Hanna-Barbera Productions"). Subsequently, Peggy Charren, head of the organization Action for Children's Television, blackballed the show, charging that it enticed kids to make monetary wagers on the races' outcomes.Many of the visual gags look suspiciously similar to those in Road Runner cartoons, including the use of painted scenery that people can enter, and fake railroad tracks that suddenly have trains running over them (and Dick Dastardly). Michael Maltese, who wrote just about all of the Chuck Jones Road Runner cartoons, was a writer for Wacky Races.The six voice actors were Daws Butler, Don Messick, Paul Winchell, Janet Waldo, John Stephenson and Dave Willock as the Narrator. In 1969, Wacky Races was rerun on CBS, along with its two spin-off series: Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines and The Perils of Penelope Pitstop. (All three shows were widely syndicated in the 1970s and '80s.) In 1990, the cartoon was revived as Fender Bender 500, a part of the anthology show Wake, Rattle, and Roll. In this incarnation, only Dastardly and Muttley returned (this time with a Mean Machine expy called the "Dirty Truckster") â€” the roster was otherwise made up of classic Hanna-Barbera all-star characters like Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hound.The Wacky Races video game adaptation for the Dreamcast is notable for being one of the first games to use Cel Shading.A reboot of the series was announced in 2016 and started airing in 2017. Additionally, a new comic book reinterpretation by DC Comics called Wacky Raceland mashes the show up with a Mad Max inspired setting. Frequent Wacky Races Tropes: Dick Dastardly setting a trap for the other racers, and inevitably getting caught in it. Alternatively, Dastardly convincing someone he encounters to help him while not making it clear that heâ€™s trying to cheat, and this backfiring on him. Muttley snickering when Dastardly's plans backfire. The dragon in the belfry of the Creepy Coupe appearing, sometimes to help the Gruesome Twosome. Professor Pat Pending changing the shape of his Convert-a-Car, occasionally to directly thwart one of Dastardlyâ€™s traps. The Red Max flying over the other racers. Penelope Pitstop's beauty gadgets, built into her Compact Pussycat. She's also been shown cooking rotisserie chicken and popcorn under the car's hood (using heat from the engine). The Ant Hill Mob's getaway power: six pairs of legs protruding from the underside of the Bulletproof Bomb. Peter Perfect's Turbo Terrific falling apart, usually after him making a remark on how good, reliable and resilient it is. The Slag Brothers somehow boosting the speed of the car by either hitting each other over the head with clubs or hitting the car with clubs. Radar displays during the race.

Wacky Races / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: Dick Dastardly was based on Terry-Thomas; Clyde, on Edward G. Robinson in Little Caesar, and Red Max, on the World War I pilot Max Immelmann. "Free Wheeling to Wheeling" may indicate that Clyde was based on Clyde Barrow of Bonnie & Clyde fame: Big Gruesome talks like Boris Karloff, while Little Gruesome's voice is an imitation of Peter Lorre.

While this happens, a group of bear cubs steal the Mob's clothes to disguise themselves so they can sneak out of the park.

Wacky Races / int_237db06a	comment	Painted Tunnel, Real Train: In one episode, Dick Dastardly tries this trick to waylay an approaching Peter Perfect. Not only does Peter drive into the picture without ill effect, but a bus then drives out of it and runs over the apoplectic Dastardly. One episode included an aquatic variation. Dastardly asked a genie to make a river to block the other racers, which the genie obliges by making a mirage. Peter Perfect realizes it as such, and tells other racers to just imagine thereâ€™s a bridge. After they cross, Dastardly drives up to the river, and ends up falling in despite it being a mirage. "By Rollercoaster to Upsan Downs" provides an inversion; When Dastardly gets ahead of the other racers, he paints a canyon over the road and has Muttley place a "STOP BRIDGE OUT" sign near it. The other racers drive over the canyon unharmed, but when Dastardly chases after them, he falls into the canyon. In a comic book story, Dick theorizes that the others can cross the painted tunnel because they don't know it's not real and, he and Muttley can cross it as well if they believe it's real. They test the theory and fail, prompting Dick to blame Muttley for not believing. As part of a new attempt, Dick has Muttley hypnotizing him into believing the tunnel is real and it fails because Muttley gave the wrong hypnotic command.

Dick Dastardly parks the Mean Machine at the red curb in front of a police station, but the police coming out seem more interested in Dastardly's Cool Car than in enforcing any traffic laws. Dastardly loses his cool and demands a parking ticket.

Wacky Races / int_401d4116	type	Broken Aesop
Wacky Races / int_401d4116	comment	Broken Aesop: The infamous ending to the episode "Creepy Trip to Lemon Twist" is this, since it attempts to uphold the show's aesop of "Dick Dastardly never wins, because he cheats" by... having the judges literally cheat Dick Dastardly out of a legitimate win. The short explanation is that Dick wins the race by driving crossing the finish line first, but then the judges demand a replay. In the replay footage, Dick is instead shown in the 4th place and extending his nosecone out with a collapsible spring to cross over the finish line first, which the judges rule is worthy of disqualification. The problem is, it's not a Dastardly-exclusive trick; Peter Perfect uses the length of his Turbo Terrific to score on several occasions, and Rufus Ruffcut actually won the race in one episode by extending his neck so as to cross the line with his head first. As the judges didn't have any problem with Peter or Rufus on those occasions, it just comes off as blatant bias against Dick. Dick did have an Oh, Crap! look on his face indicating he knew he was busted once the judges saw the replay. Then after Penelope Pitstop was ruled the winner, Dick cursed being disqualified and it shows the nose of his car extended. So chalk up the "live" finish as a case of Lazy Artist.

Penelope is first to finish but is disqualified because the muffler she obtained was a colorful scarf, not a beat-up exhaust pipe as per rules. That gave Dick Dastardly the victory and the prize: a big flowery ladies' purse.

Wacky Races / int_60fb097	type	Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat
Wacky Races / int_60fb097	comment	Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat: The Trope Namer. In many cases, Dick Dastardly might actually win a race if he wasn't so insistent on setting traps to sabotage the other racers (which always end up backfiring on him). In most episodes it could be argued that he got that all-important lead not by having the fastest car or sabotaging the other racers, but by taking a short cut on the non-linear route. He'd technically still be in last place, but could place his traps ahead of all the other cars. When they were out of the race, he could return via his shortcut and drive the route properly. But there are also several races that are straight marathons, where that wouldn't work, meaning that he is able to take the lead by way of the Mean Machine being a much faster car than the other ones, AND HE STILL CHEATS! Averted by the Ant Hill Mob in "Free Wheeling to Wheeling" (which does win them the race): Lampshaded in the Wacky Races comic book story "Follow Through to Yoo-Hoo" (Gold Key #4, August 1971). All the racers use a book called "How to Win a Race by Hook or Crook," written by Dick Dastardly himself. The unaired pilot for the revival Wacky Races Forever makes it a certainty. Dastardly (presumably the son of the original) is instructed by a figure in the employ of Peter Perfect (whose son Parker is racing) to just win the race, and he's a yard shy of the finish line, which Muttley points out. Dastardly bonks him on the head and firmly states, "No, Muttley, we can't win fairly. We are villains...ergo, we have to cheat!!" Dick Dastardly the pilot and grandfather to the contemporary Dick Dastardly even lampshades this right in front of his grandson's face. He's got a sizable lead...just cross the friggin' finish line! But, nooooo...as the token villain, he just has to pull a dirty trick that will not work. One episode features a genie who has to grant Dastardly's wishes. Instead of merely wishing for a victory, he keeps trying to use the wishes to get rid of the other racers.

Wacky Races / int_79974fb8	comment	Rock Beats Laser: The Slag Brothers are a pair of cartoon cavemen driving "The Boulder Mobile", which is literally a hollowed-out rock on a primitive wooden carriage that mostly relies on one or both brothers to pound away at the rear of The Alleged Car with their clubs to grant it motive force. Despite this, they not only manage to successfully compete in a race that includes actual (if fantastical) race cars and even a converted airplane, if you use the official NASCAR race scoring formula, they technically won the Wacky Races, since they tend to most consistently finish the race in 2nd or 3rd place, as well as a few 1st place finishes under their pelts. 2nd and 3rd place by those same qualifiers are the Ant Hill Mob and Penelope Pitstop, respectively, who are actually two of the four individuals who most frequently came in first. If you just count the winner as "the racer who came in first the most consistently", then Luke & Blubber Bear also count, since their steam-powered Arkansas Chugga-bug came in 1st place 4 times, matching up with the far more advanced Bullet Proof Bomb (Ant Hill Mob), Compact Pussycat (Penelope Pitstop) and Turbo Terrific (Peter Perfect). Ironically, by the official NASCAR race scoring formula, the Arkansas Chugga-bug comes in dead last, since, outside of those four first place finishes, it tends to consistently be one of the last cars across the finish line. Not counting Dick Dastardly, of course. If you count just the number of wins overall, just behind the Slag Brothers is Rufus Ruffcut's Buzzwagon, which is literally a cart made of rough-hewn wood that rolls along on four buzzsaws. Like the Boulder Mobile, the Buzzwagon consistently places 2nd to 3rd place, with at least a few 1st place wins under its own belt.

Wacky Races / int_7c4f6612	comment	Comic-Book Adaptation: Seven issues by Gold Key Comics (issue #1 came out in May 1969; issue 2 didn't come out until November 1970, two months after CBS canceled the show), plus an appearance in Golden Comics Digest #2 and Hanna-Barbera Fun-In #5. Also two issues by Archie Comics and a few by DC Comics. In the Gold Key issues, the cars are shown running from left to right, whereas they go right to left on the TV show. Also, a running gag on some stories loosely adapted from TV episodes has Penelope Pitstop managing to eliminate Peter Perfect and Red Max by getting them to fight over her. Peter's car in the Gold Key series was called the Varoom Roadster (its working name) and the Ant Hill Mob's car was the Roaring Plenty (identified in the show as such once). Among stories in the Gold Key issues that were adapted from TV episodes: #1 - "Wrong Track Mind" (from "Why Oh Why Wyoming"), "Super Silly Swamp Sprint," and "Whizzin' to Washington." #2 - "Wide Open Races" (from "Idaho-A-Go-Go"), "Real Gone Ape," "Mish Mash Missouri Dash." #3 - "It's Go-Go to Kokomo" (very loosely from "Eeny Miney Missouri Go!"), "Race Rally To Raleigh" (adapted from "By Rollercoaster to Upsan Downs"). The issue's second story—"Free Wheeling To Wheeling"—was an original story even though "Wheeling" was a TV episode with a different storyline. Similarly, "Raleigh" was a TV episode with a different storyline as well. #4 - "Beat The Clock Through Yellowrock" (the TV episode used "To Yellowrock"). The second story was an original, "Follow Through to Yoo-Hoo," which does crib a gag from "Creepy Trip to Lemon Twist." #5 - "The Zippy Mississippi Race" and "Wrong Lumber Race." The first story was "Wacky Race to Ballpoint, Penn.," but it was unrelated to the TV episode "Ballpoint, Penn. Or Bust!" #6 - "The Baja Ha-Ha Race" and "The Speedy Arkansas Travelers" (the TV episode used the singular). Issue #7 featured two stories that were not episode adaptations, "The Scavenger Scramble" and "The San Diego Go-Go." In the second story, Dastardly uses a "time treadmill" to send the racers back to the days of the Aztecs. Sarge and Meekly unwittingly help Spanish conquistadors raid an Aztec village for their gold caches. Golden Comics Digest #7 featured "The Last Lap Laugh," an original story. Penelope wins by using a giant powder puff to push Dastardly out of the way. Hanna-Barbera Fun-In #5 featured a one-pager of Dastardly winning a race. He pushes the out-of-gas Mean Machine across the finish line after Muttley bails on him.

After Ring-A-Ding tries many unsuccessful attempts to bust him and the rest of the Anthill Mob out, Clyde explains to the Sheriff that they're competitors in the Wacky Race. As the Wacky Race is the Sheriff's favorite sport, this convinces him to give them an escort to the finish line, where they win first place. Dastardly is about to win, but the Sheriff arrests him for shooting at him and resisting arrest.

Wacky Races / int_92f863b6	comment	Revival: A made-for-TV movie, Around the World With the Wacky Racers, was planned for 1988 (as part of the Hanna-Barbera Superstars 10 line of TV cartoon movies) but it was never carried out. The 1990 segment Fender Bender 500 (part of the series Wake, Rattle and Roll) is considered a revival of Wacky Races merely because it has Dastardly and Muttley in it- though this time their opponents are other Hanna-Barbera characters like Yogi Bear and Huckleberry Hound. Also, Wacky Races Forever, an unsold pilot for Cartoon Network featuring the son and daughter of Peter and Penelope (who got married), as well as Pat Pending (who, it seems, went gleefully insane, and who now seems willing to use attack abilities), the Slag Brothers, now having grown mustaches and driving a souped-up version of the Bouldermobile, and a cute vampire girl and her companion subbing for the Gruesome Twosome.

Wacky Races / int_e2138f91	comment	Military Mashup Machine: Three cars come to mind: Sergeant Blast and Private Meekly's Army Surplus Special is a combination of a halftrack, tank, and Model T with a pair of bazookas strapped to the sides as impromptu rocket boosters. The Red Max's Crimson Haybaler is essentially a WWI biplane with wheels, complete with a machine gun. To a lesser extent but still obvious is Dick Dastardly's own Mean Machine which looks like a combination of a MiG-21 fighter jet, a rocket, a race car, and some sort of predatory fish.

Wacky Races / int_e2a41c3b	type	Literal-Minded
Wacky Races / int_e2a41c3b	comment	Literal-Minded: Numerous examples (in the interest of wordplay). At least one example cost a racer first place; in "By Rollercoaster to Upsan Downs", when Sgt. Blast told Pvt. Meekley to "head for that finish line, and step on it", Meekley hurried to the finish line on foot and planted his foot firmly on the line. He then had to watch as Red Max, the Slag Brothers, and Lazy Luke and Blubber crossed the line in their cars and took the top three spots. Muttley was also prone to this from time to time; when Dick Dastardly is trapped on the spray from a whale's blowhole in "Eeny Miney, Missouri Go!", he tells Muttley, "Do something! Anything!" Whereupon Muttley does a tap dance... which does qualify as doing something, just not something relevant.

Wacky Races / int_e2c4b927	comment	Dub Name Change: The show had its name changed to FartdÃ¥rarna (literally meaning The Speed Freaks) in the Swedish dub. Also several characters had their names changed as well in order to keep their punny names. Dick Dastardly for instance became Urban Usling.note "Urban" is a common Swedish name with a slightly harsh sound to it, while "Usling" generally means scumbag or something to that effect. Interestingly, he kept his English name for Dastardly & Muttley in Their Flying Machines.

Wacky Races / int_e368e1bc	comment	Wiper Start: In "Race Rally to Raleigh", Sergeant Blast ends up in the Compact Pussycat [Penelope Pitstop's car]. Trying to stop it, he activates the controls that apply face powder and lipstick. Granted, these are not standard controls in a car, but it does raise the question of why he thought the brakes would be activated by a button on the dashboard. Meanwhile, over in the Army Surplus Special, Penelope winds up firing the cannon.

Who played a character going to Dastardly-esque levels of villainy to win the rally in Monte Carlo Or Bust which was released a year after Wacky Races was first broadcast. Peter Perfect and Penelope Pitstop are also expies of Tony Curtis and Natalie Wood's characters of The Great Leslie and Maggie Du Bois, respectively, from the same film.

Wacky Races / int_f3d38c6d	comment	Team Rocket Wins: Although Dastardly and Muttley never won a race in the original series (not even on a technicality) they'll still get an outcome they're pleased with. A few episodes of the Fender Bender 500 had them win for once. Even they were surprised. In the Dreamcast version, going through the rigamarole of tasks necessary to unlock Dastardly is worth it just to win a race as him and listen to the narrator's either disgusted or bewildered reaction. In the comic books, Dick won thrice ("The Scavenger Scramble," Gold Key #7; "Trek to Tanzania," Archie Comics #1, "Hanna-Barbera Fun-In" (Gold Key #5), but in each case there was a catch to the victory. Lampshaded and subverted in "Whizzin' to Washington," in which Dastardly passes everyone en route to finish first without cheating only to suddenly stop: "See-Saw to Arkansas" had a similar lampshading/subversion; on the home stretch, Dick Dastardly is dead level with Red Max, the Gruesome Twosome, and Rufus Ruffcut, and the announcer declares that they will need a photo finish - a declaration which gets Dastardly's attention. When the photograph is taken, Red Max, the Gruesome Twosome and Rufus Ruffcut are shown to have taken first, second and third, respectively... while the Mean Machine has stopped just short of the finish line, and Dick Dastardly and Muttley are posing next to it. The announcer declares Dastardly a big ham, to which Dastardly and Muttley chuckle. Dick and Muttley are about to cross the finish line first in "Speeding For Smogland", but it wouldn't count—due to a multi-car collision that catapults three other drivers from the vehicles, they wind up in the Arkansas Chuggabug. The narrator tells Dick and Muttley that crossing the finish line in the wrong car constitutes a disqualification. "Hanna-Barbera Fun-In" (Gold Key #5) had a one-pager of Dastardly pushing the Mean Machine across the finish line after Muttley bails on him, and he uses the trophy, filled with hot water, to soak his feet.
