Talk:Speedy Gonzales

message: Rather than put scare quotes around the word "Mexican", I have added the word "stereotypical" to the sentence describing Speedy's accent. Perhaps the accent isn't very accurate. It is how most Americans would speak if asked to fake a Mexican accent, in my opinion. — Amcaja 20:22, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Speedy's accent 

message: I believe slowpoke saved himself a few times, but he did so in a rather politically incorrect way for kids cartoons. Essentially his line was something like "But I carry a gun" and then he'd shoot the cat. Am I remembering right?--T. Anthony 07:54, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

message: "It should also be noted that while Speedy spoke with a Mexican accent Sylvester spoke English with an American accent."
Umm why should this also be noted? The cartoon I believe was made by Americans in America so characters with American accents shouldn't be even interesting. (I'll add something that might make it interesting, but I'm curious about this)--T. Anthony 08:02, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sylvester's accent 

message: "He usually wears an oversized yellow sombrero and a white shirt and pants."

message: Does anyone know if Speedy was inspired by the character actor Pedro Gonzalez-Gonzalez? (see his wikipedia entry)  I note Speedy is listed as being created in 1953. This was the same year Gonzalez-gonzalez appeared on an episode of Groucho Marx's You Bet Your Life quiz show: an appearance which shot him to cult celebrity at the time, for the comedic value of his responses and exagerated sounding mexican accent...he was apparently spotted on that show by John Wayne and occupied that same "offensive stereotype" role in several western movies that Speedy is apparently criticised for.  It seems too much of a coincidence.  Does anyone know if the cartoon was inspired by the man?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.72.239.248 (talk) 16:40, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Maybe it would be nice to include some data about the biography of Speedy Gonzalez that was aired in a clip by Cartoon Network Mexico, it's just a parody of biography-documentals  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.164.67.220 (talk) 21:48, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Speedy Gonzales says "Mouse" not "House". Why would he say that he is the fastest house in all of Mexico? He is the fastest mouse in all of Mexico. --209.244.30.237 (talk) 13:02, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Speedy Gonzales, the fastest house in all of Mexico

message: I'm wondering if we could add the strange relationship that Daffy and Speedy have. They are more rivals than nemesis. There have been toons (like Skyscraper Caper) that have them get along, and others in which they don't, though they are normally on better terms that Speedy is with Sylvester. So, is there a possibility that it could be added that some cartoons depict the two as allies of some sort? Darkpower (talk) 08:24, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: About the Sombrero

message: Like... are you serious... did they even asked mexicans about it?
We freaking love Speedy! He's great!
Like... the guy was my hero when child!
Stereotypes? What stereotypes? He has an accent, yeah, a lot of mexicans trying to speak English do (specially around the north and south of the country). And... what? He was the hero! Most of the time (that I remember) he wanted the cheese to give it to others, and when that wasn't the case well... he's a mouse! Of course he wants cheese!
(and if you say that, hiw friends were lazy or dumb or fat, well, there's lazy and dumb people everywhere, doesn't matter the place. And fat well... yeaaaah... we have some problems with that around here... but tell anybody :p)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.253.96.248 (talk) 00:32, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
