Wacky Race biography, Wacky Race discography
Dick Dastardly and Muttley, the villains of Wacky Races, in their car, the "Mean Machine."Barbera, about a group of 11 different cars racing against each other in various road rallies, with each driver hoping to win the title of the "World's Wackiest Racer."Background
2 Drivers and cars
2.The Gruesome Twosome in the Creepy Coupe 02
2.Red Max in the Crimson Haybailer 04
2.Sergeant Blast and Private Meekly in the Army Surplus Special 06
2.The Ant Hill Mob in the Bulletproof Bomb 07
2.Seventeen episodes were produced, with each episode featuring two different races, for a total of 34 races in all.Dastardly would usually gain a large lead, then execute all sorts of elaborate schemes to trap, divert, blow up or stop the other racers, only to see them backfire spectacularly.The intended object lesson may have been that Dastardly might have easily won several races had he only kept his mind on the race and off dirty tricks.Wacky Races was inspired by the 1965 film The Great Race, and the main characters in the cartoon were based on those in the film.Although Fate's car does not look much like the Mean Machine, it does bear the familiar spike on the front and is equipped with smoke screen, cannon, and other assorted gadgets.Quigley's plan was that contestants would actually bet on which Wacky Racer would cross the finish line first.Ironically, many tricks Dastardly uses are not unlike the ones the other racers use, though only his are referred to as "cheating."He also has a long, black moustache.The Slag Brothers in the Bouldermobile 01
Rock Slag and Gravel Slag are Cavemen driving a wheeled boulder.On one occasion the car was shown to be using an unseen, living creature as its engine.They can speed up by hitting the car with their clubs.Also, they can summon bats, storms, ghosts and even a witch to help them fend off the other cars.His name is a pun on the phrase "patent pending."The Haybailer also had a mounted machine gun, which was used sporadically.Peter Perfect had a crush on her, a feeling that was returned, and always tried to help her; in one episode, they almost end up married.Unlike other cars, the Compact Pussycat rarely was targeted by the other racers, as it seems they also liked and tried to help her as Peter did.The Army Surplus Special, otherwise known as the Surplus Six, made use of its tank facilities while racing, including its cannon, which could spin around to face forward or back.In one episode, the tank fired a bubblegum ball out of its cannon to stop one of the other competitors.Ding, Rug Bug Benny, and Willy.Seven Dwarfs to escape from a cop.In one episode, the car was shown to have a squirrel as its engine, with Luke feeding the squirrel peanuts to increase speed.Peter had a crush on Penelope Pitstop, and so often stopped to help her; Penelope returned Peter's affections, and in one episode they almost end up married.He always stops to say hello to Penelope.Sometimes Peter Perfect demonstrated an unusual elasticity ability, although this seemed to be just a gag.In development, the car was called the Varoom Roadster, a name used in the Gold Key comic book series.The buzzsaws gave the car the ability to cut through almost anything, damaging or destroying the object in the process.Rufus is sometimes seen as a rival to the Slag Brothers, as they not only get their car destroyed in this way frequently, but can also reconstruct their car with ease.The vehicle also has two axes attached to each side which Rufus uses to turn tight corners and boost the buzzwagon's speed, and a log on the front which is occasionally used as a single wheel if the car is forced upright onto its front bumper.In Sydney, Australia, Wacky Races debuted as a segment of a live afternoon program, Skeeter's Cartoon Corner on the Nine Network.After the race, the young contestant, and the relative with the winning vehicle, would win prizes, including plastic model kits of the Wacky Races cars.Barbera stalwarts such as Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, and others racing against each other across outer space (and fending off a villain and his canine sidekick).The new character of Mumbley was based on Muttley.Video games
A Wacky Races video game was produced in 1992 for the NES, IBM PC, ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 in which the player took the role of Muttley, sent on missions from Dick Dastardly to defeat the other racers.Wacky Races: Mad Motors for the PlayStation 2 was released by Blast on June 12th.DVD release of the complete series was made available in Japan on August 10, 2001 and had both English and Japanese audio.Warner Home Video released the entire series, with commentaries and other extras, in a DVD box set on October 26, 2004.Race results
The show gave the results of each race at the end of each episode, (the first, second, and third placings are given by the narrator, and we sometimes see the other cars go past the finish line).The show never indicated a particular scoring system or way to determine who won the Wacky Races as a whole.To win, one did not actually need to be in one's assigned vehicle; apparently all that was necessary was for the driver to cross the finish line in a conveyance of some sort (a flying carpet or a giant ice cube would do), although racers were apparently prohibited from simply walking across.No official scoring system of any kind was ever used in any one of the 34 Wacky Races episodes.The Anthill Mob in their Bullet Proof Bomb, Luke and Blubber Bear in the Arkansas Chugabug, Peter Perfect in The Turbo Terrific, and Penelope Pitstop in the Compact Pussycat, hold a joint record for the most wins, each finishing first four times.The record for the most second places is held by the Slag Brothers in the Boulder Mobile, with eight, whilst Rufus Ruffcut and Sawtooth have come in second six times.Wacky Races has had an influence on Japanese animation.The animated series Dexter's Laboratory featured a parody of Wacky Races in the episode "Dexter's Wacky Races," featuring the show's major cast members (Dexter, Mandark, Mandark's mother and father, Dexter's mother and father, Dee Dee and Koosy , Monkey and Agent Honeydew, and the Justice Friends) racing against each other in a road rally to Burbank, California.The opening credits of Wacky Races and the show's narrator are also parodied here.Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf is loosely based on Wacky Races.In ReBoot, season 3, Cyrus reboots as a parody toy of Dick Dastardly and Frisket reboots as a parody toy of Muttley.Rocha is named after the Slag Brothers.Rocha means literally "Rock Brothers," and "Rocha" is a common surname in Brazil.Underground rapper Daniel Dumile makes a reference to "Dick Dastardly and Muttley with sick laughter" in the song "Accordion" on his collaboration album Madvillainy with producer Madlib.British rapper Jehst on the song "Nouveau Riche" claims he is "The Dick Dastardly of hip hop, I've got my eye on Penelope Pitstop."External links
