He dared to dream.

It's coward, bully, cad, and thief you uncultured swine.

the fuck is a cad?

>Did he really, truly do anything wrong?

He stole a runabout.

>tfw he thought no one would ever know but they know

A cad is a rounder.

Someone with no honour.

It's a program used in architecture design, dummy!

>cad
>noun dated humorous
>noun: cad; plural noun: cads
>a man who behaves dishonorably, especially toward a woman.

a rounder?

Hey tumblr, please keep your newfag obsession to tumblr, and stop spamming Sup Forums with dover boys threads

>>>/reddit/

stop trying to fit in

A source of loss.

are you sure it's "cad", not "chad"?

A rounder is a scoundrel.
But seriously, en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rounder

How is Dan Backslide a "chad"?

If he was a Chad he wouldn't have to kidnap Dora, he'd just cuck those confounded Dover boys the old fashion way

He stole a car and kidnapped/imprisoned a person

So, yeah, kinda

Theft and kidnapping.

You sir are a churl, a cad, and a rapscallion! I say good day to sir. GOOD DAY.

He got drunk, then stole a car.

Don't forget Driving while getting drunk

This is Sup Forums you dumb shit, no one else attempts to drive jokes into the ground this hard, reddit is second

If we're making accurate comparisons of the subcultures from today and the turn of the 20th century, the boys are the Chads.

Dan Backslide is more like an older drug dealing townie or something.

HARK!
You were not supposed to know about the roundabout.
NO ONE WAS SUPPOSED TO EVER KNOW.

And then he kidnapped a woman, so he could get her father's money.

Damn! You need to calm down and unhand her, Dan Backslide.

I WANT TO BARRAGE MY COCK DOWN THOSE DOVER BOYS, I WILL FILL THEIR MOUTHS WITH MY SEED

Is it just me or is Dan Backslide an 'villainous gay' stereotype?

He seems to behave so much like how people of the era viewed homosexuals, sneaky, closeted, self-loathing, and the line "Oh how I love her...(Father's money)" kind of seems to confirm that, along with his campy demeanour and poses. I know he was based mainly on animator Ken Harris but I can't help from now on but see him as a homosexual, does anyone else see it?

He's literally blue Sinestro

Possibly, but I think its hard to say given how little characterization he's given in a 9-minute short

>WATCH ME SWOCCE RIGHT IN, DOVER BOYS!!

He literally screams, "I hate dick!" in the short, dude.

If he is, it's too ambiguous to matter. And also his screaming is fucking hilarious

*GASP*

Does Dora possess superhuman strength or something?

The Dover Boys was partially inspired by this cartoon.

If you want a "villain" who literally did nothing wrong, look right here.

My mistake, I just checked the dates, and this came out after the Dover Boys.

To a degree.

He's a moustache twirler like Snidley Whiplash. He's the guy that put's women on railroad tracks only to be foiled by dudley do-right.

Basically it's 19th century vaudeville schlock... the kind of shit that was so bad they were making fun of it already by the turn of the century, and continued to make fun of it right into the 20th century.


You could argue that there's a bit of the 'dandy' subculture in the archetype, and that maybe it ripps on oscar wilde a bit, but people stopped taking this shit seriously a LONG time ago.

He was a wop.
That's a good enough reason to hate him desu.

The actual inspiration was this series of books, the first big hit from the pseudonymous literary sweatshop that went on to make Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys.

kidnapping is the old fashioned way, tho

Can't help but wonder what exactly where these cartoons parodying, the archetypes and designs are too similar to be mere chance.

thanks for linking this cartoon user, it's helping me appreciate Jones's superior craftsmanship

>I'LL SHITPOST ON Sup Forums!
>NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!

Why did this suddenly get so popular? What, did some cocksnot post it on Reddit or Tumblr?

as far as I know, it's a popular cartoon shown in animation classes for being one of the first to use smear animations

That and the voice acting is fucking hilarious.

There is also that drinking gif that is pretty popular.

Snidely Whiplash
Dick Dastardly
Dan Backslide
Waluigi

Would you watch it/10?

It's BEEN popular for years. It's one of the best cartoon shorts of all time. You need to lurk more.

It recently went Public Domain, hence the upburst.

Tumblr is blowing up with it.

Public domain is 95 years (until the next time it gets extended). It's still 21 years away.

>Dick Dastardly pulls over to set a convoluted trap
>"A Mean MAchine... I'LL STEAL IT, NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!"
>Muttley laughs as Backslide speeds off

Ever. Fucking. Episode

It would be amazing

Then again, he also bellows "HELP, DICK"

No, it actually is in the public domain now. United Artists decided to not renew its copyright.

>thief
so somebody did know.

It's a meme on tumblr now

>Dora is ALONE AND UNPROTECTED!
>*wiggles eyebrows*

What did he mean by this?

I love the idea that non-Americans just wouldn't appreciate this novel.

Two problems with that: Dick and Larry. Those two are bantaladz at best, but not jocks.

Still need to watch this, link?

>What did he mean by this?
NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW

Larry was always last to come

A Dover Boys thread?

I'll shitpost in it.

NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW.

meant the meme but thanks

He hates dick.

What's this?
An alert young Mod!
He'll not fail us, I'll bet

...

...

Car theft, kidnapping, attempted rape...yeah, dude was a fucking riot, but he was still a criminal.

>attempted rape
when was this?

>tfw someone in another thread had the same idea as you
Bliss

Okay, wait, hold the phone.
>Bottom right
Is Dick Dastardly sporting a stiffy?

>Bottom Right
Fuck, I meant left.
I'm so surprised I haven't noticed that fold before I can't even tell right from left anymore.

>Two fucking moustaches
What a monster

Yeah a little bit. More the dandy thing but they definitely got wrapped together at times in the stuff it was parodying, not explicitly so though. These stereotypes were weirdly cyclical, I remember them popping up with King Edward's male lover in the 14th century for example.

God his voice acting is insanely good

>roundabout

That's one dastardly dick

In the cabin, before Dora open up a big ol can of whupass on Dan.

Apparently it got big on Tumblr a couple days ago.

Better version.

I don't get it, pls explain?

I love things like this, where people find a cool new spin on an old meme.

>Blue
I'm sorry user but you're colorblind.

It's a bit of a ways to go.

An Acronym of that is CAD
Dan is a Cad
What is a Cad?
A source of loss.

Of course he's blue? What, does he look pink to you or something get your eyes checked.

oh that's actually great

thanks user

>Looks italian
>decide to look up name to confirm
>turns out it's heeb
eh, good enough. One immigrant-hate-boner is as good as another.

Sup Forums trying to force more memes I see

This is why I could never fully get into UPA (this isn't UPA but has some of the same people). They were arty and seemed to consider it vulgar to have cartoony gags. (One writer who went from WB to UPA said that UPA people held WB cartoon writers in contempt because they were just "gag men.") Chuck Jones was sort of in the same club, but The Dover Boys is still a Warners cartoon meaning it's fast, loud and full of comic violence. Which all holds up better.

Confoud those jojo boys! they drive me to pose!

You motherfucker.

Thank you.
