It was so cute how excited the cupbros were to see each other again. Like they were so happy they squealed. Twice.
Also, it was nice to see some genuine apologies and gratitude after a handful of episodes with the brothers at each other’s throats.
When comedies are done well, the more serious or sentimental moments feel all the more emotional because they stand out. And I definitely feel like that’s the case here — throughout a lot of this episode, really.
as a Porky Fanatic i’ve always loved just about every classic iteration of his character, but the more i analyze and comb through these cartoons i find myself becoming more and more enamored with Clampett’s approach: blundering and oblivious, but incredibly endearing and charming whose humor is largely (and anomalously) derivative from his sincerity.
this particular clip is such a perfect combination of embracing that sort of sincerity and almost encouraging it, but also poking polite fun at how eccentric and comically naïve he is (as reflected through the dog’s very succinct commentary.) only Porky would find it acceptable to breathlessly explain his life’s story to some random dog he found then feeling the need to politely excuse himself and leave with absolutely no warning, and that in itself is just as funny as any other visual gag or screwball escapade. a-ma-zing!
