Jungle Jitters (1938 cartoon)

Jungle Jitters is a 1938 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Friz Freleng.
==Summary==
A dopey vacuum cleaner salesman works door to door in the jungles of Africa. He knocks on the door of the hut belonging to a group of cannibal African natives, who would love to have him for dinner. To avoid marrying the man-hungry white queen, he hops into the cannibals' stew pot.
==Plot==
Starts out with a tribe of African cannibals imitating Native Americans. After this, they do the new Warner Bros. Looney Tunes theme "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down." Then a sloppy stuttering salesman knocks on their doors, and they bring him in and put him in a pot of boiling water. The queen of the tribe wants to see the man. She falls in love with him. They get married, but when the salesman sees he has to kiss the bride, he decides he'd be better off being dinner for a tribe of hungry cannibals.
==Trivia==
Clark Gable and Robert Taylor are caricatured when the queen imagines the salesman as being these two stars.
In 1968, United Artists (then owners of the A.A.P. library of pre-1948 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons) compiled the cartoons they considered too potentially offensive to be shown on television, and withheld those cartoons from distribution. AT that time, UA felt that these eleven cartoons should be withheld from broadcast because the depictions of black people in the cartoons were deemed too offensive for contemporary audiences.
Spike Lee excerpted three of the opening scenes in the finale of his feature, "Bamboozled."
