Talk:Porky Pig

message: Was Porky the original Looney Tunes character?
::Looks like "Bosko" was the first character according to here

:::That's right: The insipid "Bosko", of "Sinkin' in the Bathtub", 1930.
 
Porky *was*, however, the original Looney Tunes star, defined as an actor who draws audience just by name power.  --Steverapaport
"Bosko" was basically a Mickey Mouse knockoff. He also looked a lot like someone wearing "blackface" makeup. So he was a loser on several fronts. Wahkeenah 10:48, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

message: I was wondering about that myself. It turns out Porky was listed that way in the 1996 movie "Space Jam".  Unless someone can demonstrate that name was used in the classic WB cartoons, I think it should stay permanently out of the article. Wahkeenah 23:47, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Am I missing something? Why is an Elvis Christmas song relevant to Porky Pig? — Amcaja (talk) 00:28, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Because Porky apparently did a cover of it. However, the excessive wording on that song's page looks like an attempt at self-promotion. If so, it should all be zapped. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 13:19, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The article currently states that Porky's signature closing like was "Th-th-th-that's all folks!"  Is there a source for this?  Because, I've never heard it this way.  It always sounds to me like he's trying to start off with a different phrase, but, in Porky fashion, becomes frustrated when he can't get out his first thought and so switches to something simpler.  To me, the phrase has always sounded like "Abadee-abadee-abadee-that's all, folks!"  (I never could figure out what the "Abadee" was supposed to become--still, I never thought he was stuttering the relatively straightforward word "that's".) Robert K S (talk) 04:28, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Was there an alternate tag with another character saying some other phrase? That would tell us what Porky was trying to say. —Tamfang (talk) 20:20, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Back in the 30s they used to use a character that looked like a court jester or something, and he would straightforwardly say "That's all, folks!" with no stutter. And although it may sound like Porky is trying to say something else (like maybe "Bye, folks!") I don't recall ever seeing a source that said anything other than "Th-th-th-that's all folks!" Hence, putting our own spin it would be original research. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 20:27, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Maybe he was trying to say "The End," which would make sense. NBK1122 (talk) 17:44, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm....I remember the closed captioning of a DVD reading something similar to what Robert mentions above.  I can't recall which exactly, though.  But I'm pretty certain I have seen it as something else other than "Th-th-th-that's all, folks!" — Cinemaniac (talk  •  contribs) 02:47, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If you've ever seen Mel Blanc on a youtube doing Porky's closing line, he does appear to be saying something starting with a "B", like "Bye". Original research. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 23:20, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I've wondered if perhaps he's trying to say Auf Wiedersehen, which would somewhat fit into the 'abadee' from the original comment.  Of course I have nothing to back this up with, though.  Bye wikipedia-people. 72.128.23.5 (talk) 13:08, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

message: In Germany he is called "Schweinchen Dick" (as in, "Pig Dick", where "Dick" is the name). While that is funny to English people, "dick" in German also can mean "plus-sized" and means nothing lewd. As I tell that to an English speaker, I wonder if a list of international names of Porky could be included. --Conspiration  — Preceding undated comment added 20:12, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
