. . . boobs being chief among them, this U.S. taxpayer-funded Pvt. Snafu mind-control animated short indoctrinated millions of men drafted into the American military during the height of World War Two in 1944. Even milk-laden camel teats present deadly danger for America's privates, BOOBY TRAPS documents. But it's inside a desert bordello that Snafu meets his doom, as some if not all of the Professional Ladies (or strumpets) there sport bombs where their boobs should be. BLONDE BOMBSHELL was an actual title for one of buxom Jean Harlow's 1930s flicks, so U.S. citizens already knew enough to beware of Bra Stuffers prior to Hitler's shenanigans. However, a close viewing of ALL Pvt. Snafu episodes reveals a common theme: Hetero Sex in general is a very threatening thing. Perhaps this is because the Looney Tuners behind Snafu recognized that the Advent of the Population Bomb would eclipse the Atomic Bomb and the subsequent Hydrogen- or H-Bomb as a roadblock to Humanity's continued Progress.

Another Private Snafu short made for use by the U.S. Army during World War II. As always, Snafu is refusing to follow proper procedures and thinks he's smarter than he actually is. This time he's in the North African desert, where he's warned about booby traps but does what he wants anyway. He comes across a series of traps that are obviously unrealistic but the point was to instruct the soldiers on how to be more careful by using humor rather than making them sit through a dry educational film. Mel Blanc provides the voice for Snafu and has some funny lines that were racy for the time. The runtime is brief (four minutes) but it packs a lot in there. The animation is nice and the gags are funny. The best part is the harem. Really puts the 'boob' in booby trap.

Another episode in the saga of Private Snafu-the dimmest bulb in the Army. This Rhodes scholar is more dangerous to his own unit than he is to the enemy! Entertaining series of training films done during World War II. Here Snafu comes agonizingly close repeatedly to well-deserved destruction, only to be saved by the good fortune the universe seems to extend all too often to idiots. Hilarious ending which is quite apropos. The sad thing is there probably were Private Snafus in real life. I know people who make Snafu seem like Einstein! Well worth watching. Most recommended.

Very politically incorrect by today's standards, this animated romp concerning the perils with which our boys contend OVER THERE (in the Arabian deserts of good ol' WWII) is a total riot. The harem of 1940's beauties (possibly the sexiest cartoon characters ever put to the screen), an over-sized mouse-trap, a rigged up-right piano, a potentially explosive hooka, a triangle-playing mechanical Hitler and, best of all, a talking camel with a bomb attached to it, are some of the highlights of this brilliant short work. Only two Private Snafu shorts I've seen to date (8-12-2003), the other being Spies, which is just as offensively uproarious and side-splitting. In light of not too long ago world events, it's Middle Eastern setting is all too eerie.
