Popeye

I used to like to watch those Popeye reruns. On one of those cartoons Popeye and Bluto both wanted to get hurt and to be taken to the hospital because Olive Oyl worked there as a nurse. Popeye made Bluto eat a can of spinach and Bluto beat the Hell out of him. Bluto sent Popeye to the hospital and Olive took care of him and paid attention to him just like he wanted.

Damn but he talked a lot of shit under his breath in the really old B&W ones! Brutus was a bad-ass, Olive Oyl was a skinny-ass ho, and Wimpy was a junkie always trying to sponge some free food when he was coming off a binge. Forget the spinach...Popeye was probably really a 'roids freak... ;)

Popeye is ok mean all he does is rescue olive oyl from a mean man called Bluto. Bluto is a nasty bitch he has muscle and evilness but popeye always wins against Bluto. popeye has muscles too he eats the spinach and beat him ups.

I LOVE THIS S

Five stars for the Popeye cartoons with Bluto as his nemesis. The one where Popeye destroys his house with a double-barreled shotgun to kill some flies is classic. Also look for some early "Sinbad the Sailor" and "Ali Baba and the 40 thieves" in color and with some very 3-D effects. Much longer than the standard Popeye cartoons.

My mom raised me on classic Popeye. Every morning before elementary school, we would watch it on tv. It brings back many good memories. The animation is fantastic, too.

I never liked Popeye, I always thought that it was stupid and just too predictable.

The Fleischer Popeye cartoons are classics of imagination, innovation, and humor. And they are probably the closest to Segar (though nothing can beat Segar's Popeye IMHO) of any animated incarnation of The Sailor Man. The Famous Studios cartoons made Bluto (and Popeye's other male foes) and Olive Oyl into romantic leads. It is probably this version of Ms. Oyl that people here are referring to when they talk about how hot she was and that she inspired crushes. I certainly had a crush on her.

I enjoyed the Famous Studios cartoons for their adventures and for their emphasis on romantic, even sexy plotlines. As the '50s wor... Read more

Sort of embarrassed to say it, but I had a little-boy crush on Olive Oyl. That was until I saw Yvonne Craig as Batgirl.

That show was really bizarre but I liked it as a child.

"I eat me spinach!!", " I'm Popeye the sailor man..."

CouIdn't wait til he took his spinach and save the damsel. Love spinach!! Now I know why! LOL! Very good way to have kids eat there Spinach! That in itself deserves an extra point just for nutrition message.

I liked this very much as a kid.Today,I appreciate just how bizzarre it really was.The older versions are the weirdest and funniest IMO.

Olive Oyl is da bomb

I love Popeye he's my hero!!! Really he once saved my puddytat. I have to admit Olive was a big hotty in her day, but BOY! did Popeye and Bluto ogle and ogle her man it's like she is constantly being undressed with their eyes!

One heck of a classic.

cartoons were great but it still couldnt convince me to eat spinach. i thought alice the goon is underrated. we used to like her

I love Popeye

why did I waste my precious youth watching this show?

My cartoon hero, loved watching him beat the S--- out of Bluto after he guzzled a can of spinach down, and then theres olive, what a woman, If only they could all be like her.....

Bluto should have been ashamed of himself for letting that little guy kick his a** so much. What a waste of muscle. And for what? Olive? Come on already.

i was wonderin why yall keep sayin bruto and brutus i thought his name was bruno at one point will someone please clarify and set me st8 thanx TrIzL

C'mon Dog, it's Popeye (where's Woody Woodpecker nowadays anyway -- a new generation is missing out).

I'm rating classic, B&W Popeye, everything since then has been sub-par at best.

My 5 stars apply only to the EARLY Popeye cartoons, not the later dull ones. They were clever, both in plot and animation. "Wotta Nightmare" was an absolute classic. I never did understand why his nemesis was named Brutus part of the time and Bluto at other times. I also never knew whether Swee'pea was a boy or a girl, or where he/she/it came from. But that was part of the fun of the show. It cracked me up how those two guys could walk past a whole row of beautiful women, unfazed, but when they saw Olive Oyl, their eyes bugged out. Also liked it when they were pulling on her and stretching her arms out - great fun to watch when I was little. Oh yes --- Popeye used to mumble a lot of funny things if you listened closely. I didn't really pay attention to that part of it until I got older.

Very repetitive and I think Olive Oil is insane. She drives me up a wall.

Very funny cartoons. Something just came to my attention. I remember watching some of the old color versions of the "Popeye" cartoon on TNT when I was a kid, and the other night I was watching Cartoon Network and I think I saw the exact same cartoons ( same voices, same movement) except in black and white. I always thought some of those color versions looked kinda sloppy, guess they just painted over them or something. The black and white versions looked a lot better though.

Awesome, especially the earliest Popeye cartoons when his voice is nearly inaudible at times.

I'm in complete agreement with President-X-D: Classic (B&W) Popeye was awesome, not so with later episodes.

Doesnt the same thing happen in every episode? Bruno or whatever flirts with Olive and Popeye beats him up. It gets old after a while.

It is just not good at all anymore.

If you want to see some really funny cartoons you need to watch the very oldest of the Popeye cartoons. I mean the ones in black and white. The animation is terrible but the dialogue is outrageous. Sometimes it borders on adult humor, much like the Betty Boop cartoons made about the same time. The same woman was the voice for both Betty Boop and Olive Oyl. In the oldest Popeye cartoons he fought Bluto, later they changed his name to Brutus. You have to admire a man who can blow fire through a pipe that is hot enough to cut the top off of a can of spinach, and then one second later suck the spinach through the same pipe and not get burnt.
