The Chump Champ

The Chump Champ is a 1950 Droopy cartoon directed by Tex Avery.

## Plot

At Yank-Em Stadium during the All Ham-erican sports carnival, Droopy and Gorgeous Gorillawitz (Butch) are competing in the olympics to be the King of Sports. Adding to the prize is a kiss from the Queen of Sports. Gorillawitz imagines a pretty girl dog being his queen and decides to win at all costs even though the Judge says the best man must win fair and square.

Gorillawitz tries every trick to stop Droopy from winning using the following methods:

* 1st Event: 100 yd. Dash. Gorillawitz and Droopy are being prepared to run with Gorillawitz holding the gun with him, so Gorillawitz says: “On your mark, get set...” and he starts to run 100 yds. and as he stops close to the finish line, he shouts: “GO!” with the gun shooting up, but Droopy made it to the finish line instantly after the gunshot and told him: “You know what? You cheated.” And so Droopy won that event.
* 2nd Event: 200 yd. Free Style Swim. Gorillawitz opens the Man eating sharks tank with 2 sharks and pours it to the swimming pool, Then he pushes Droopy into the pool and Droopy starts to swim and so the 2 sharks came close to eat him. However Gorillawitz saw Droopy attacking the sharks and covers his eyes and after it’s over he saw Droopy with the fishing hook and the 2 dead sharks holding and the cameraman taking a photo of them.
* 3rd Event: Sack Race. Gorillawitz puts the bomb inside the Sack where Droopy will be in and as they are both ready to race Gorillawitz says faster: “On your mark, get set, Go!”, but Gorillawitz hops backwards all the way to the exit of the stadium while Droopy continues the race and finishes the race and he walked away. Gorillawitz discovered that nothing happened so he went to check inside Droopy’s sack to see what happened but the bomb blew up on his face leaving his face invisible.
* 4th Event: Punching the Bag. Gorillawitz opens the punching bag, puts an Anvil inside the bag, closes it, puts it back up, and slithers away. Droopy came and he punches the bag like a normal punching bag and the fans cheered for him. Gorillawitz didn’t know that Droopy punched the bag perfectly even with an anvil inside so he decided to do the same thing but bag he punched with the anvil inside is so hard that it didn’t swing the bag, causing his arm to shatter into pieces along with his head and the top body.
* 5th Event: Wrestling. Gorillawitz acts and stomps like a monster and lands on Droopy, so he puts a clip on Droopy’s foot and takes the match and lights up his foot, but the foot set on fire was Gorillawitz’s which cause him to scream in pain and he blows out the fire out but his burnt foot fell loosened.
* 6th Event: Baseball. Gorillawitz takes the bombs and paints it white and he lights up the bomb and throws it to Droopy but the bomb has been hit by the bat played by Droopy and the bombs went back to him and explodes on his face.
* 7th Event: Log Rolling. Gorillawitz runs on the log faster and faster to beat Droopy, but Droopy has a roller skates and he stops the log with his finger causing Gorillawitz to fall into the water.
* 8th Event: Skeet Shooting. Droopy throws the skeet in the air and falls down and Gorillawitz shoots at the skeet the landed in the ground, so he passes the gun to Droopy. He tries to throw the skeet into the air, but he holds the skeet with his hands and he chuckles. While he holds the skeet on his stomach, Droopy shoots the skeet through his stomach leaving his stomach invisible.
* 9th Event: Golf. Droopy is prepared to play golf. The Announcer tells Droopy to be Quiet while the contestant is driving, but Gorillawitz disrupts Droopy by whistling and shooting repeatedly, honking the car horn, and blowing the trumpet, so Droopy hits the golf ball through the wall and the ball came back and hit the trumpet that Gorillawitz is playing with which the trumpet is trapped inside his mouth.
* 10th Event: 1 Mile Run.

Finally during the final event he tricks Droopy into signing a document saying that he cheated in every event. He shows it to the Judge who disqualifies Droopy and makes Gorrilawitz the new King of Sports.

Gorillawitz is crowned and the curtain raises to reveal the Queen of Sports. Unfortunately the Queen isn't who Gorillawitz expected as the girl dog is extremely ugly and wants a kiss from the horrified bulldog.

Gorillawitz runs away dropping his crown as he goes with the Queen in hot pursuit. Droopy who has watched the whole thing, breaks the fourth wall by saying: "You know what? Cheaters never win." He picks up the crown and puts it on his head which is too big and falls from his head down to his feet.
