I seem to remember the Patrol Chief disgustedly saying in reaction to Huck's collision with him (and in Butler's standard Jackie Gleason imitation) "Oh, no! It WOULD have to be you!" or along those lines. The same voice, or close to it, may have been used for the Dispatcher.Howard Feinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-46223440079578057022010-03-22T07:01:38.148-07:002010-03-22T07:01:38.148-07:00" Freeway Patrol " was one of the first ..." Freeway Patrol " was one of the first " Huck " shorts I ran for my two sons when they were small. The gag that put both of them on the floor was Daws' female voice " Well Goodness Gracious, YES!!." They were never able to get past that point without losing it!. Personally, I loved the parody of the " Highway Patrol " announcer who just like Don Messick's narrator, would talk directly to the criminal at times. " Don't bet on it, robber...." If you grew up in the " Highway Patrol " era, or caught it in re-runs, you can really appreciate " Freeway Patrol".Errolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-48288659685910247892010-03-21T08:42:50.927-07:002010-03-21T08:42:50.927-07:00The "do the same thing over and over again wi...The "do the same thing over and over again with the same disastrous result" has a pretty decent pedigree when used correctly with a dumb character -- Avery used it at Warners with George jumping off the cliff three times in "Of Fox and Hounds" and with Daws and the 'damaged pants' gag in "Three Little Pups" -- but it has to be done with skill to avoid making the character annoyingly dumb so that the repeated actions are more irritating than funny. Daws' voice here and the character's laid-back personality make the repeated patrol car crash gags work, because as with "Pups", its the reserved reaction to the situation that makes the crashes funny.J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-40400367067653943922010-03-21T08:30:04.573-07:002010-03-21T08:30:04.573-07:00Anon.:"
