In American cartoons, we had our stereotype with Speed Gonzalez. In Spain, to get back at us, they have a fat bald guy who drinks all the time, is a moron and helps run a nuclear power plant.
Heyyyyyy....wait a minute....

I was in Paris a long time ago, waiting for the next surrender, and was scrolling through TV channels one morning. I will never forget how much I laughed watching Porky Pig stutter in French. My daughter was beyond hysterical.
Vive Mel Blanc!

For some reason, I'm wanting to sing the name of that atraccion to the opening of the "Green Acres" theme.

Down in Miami he's called "El Runner de Calle Ocho".

What did you expect him to say? "Bip bip" in Spanish is pronounced "beep beep."

And in the USA, the Roadrunner says:
Meep meep
But people always get that wrong and think they are beeps.

I believe that acme was about to go under but then it received a government bailout so it's okay now thank goodness.
