"Ali Baba Bound
Arab stereotypes including a comic look at a suicide bomber."

To quote the Jim Backus Genie, Oh, Sweet Spirits of Camphor... -_-

The "suicide squad" joke in the 30's Porky cartoon is a WWII reference,
and it's a little dopey guy with a cannon shell strapped to his head,
who runs in because they don't have a cannon--
Has THIS gag now been adopted into the canon of Loopy Out-of-Context
LT-Ban Misinterpretations (along with "Frigid Hare", "Bewitched Bunny"
and, similarly, "A Lad in His Lamp"?)
