I got 13 out of 15.

Gossamer/Willoughby. Other than that: solid!

I should have figured out Gossamer, dadgumbit!

100% .. 15 out of 15 .. :)

Didn’t seem too hard .. there were even several ‘catch-phrases’ in there!

100% score for me! The “Willoughby” one was not right on Mental Floss’s part though. The soundbite, from Clampett’s HARE RIBBON and the image, from Avery’s THE HECKLING HARE, do not match. Weren’t they two different characters? But thank you for that Jerry!

 
J. J. Hunsecker says:

I got 100% right!

 
Gerit says:

100% …although I’m not certain that’s a good thing.

 
Charles Brubaker says:

Some were a bit harder to identify, but I managed to get all 15 right!

I’m the master!

100% right. I had to use the process of elimination with Wimpy. I didn’t recognize his line there. Mighty Mouse was way too easy though.

 
David Gerstein says:
06/2/07  6:16am

100% right here, too, though I had to deduce one or two TV-era characters by process of elimination.

13/15 – Wasn’t a big fan of Atom Ant or Underdog growing up so I confused the two. The others were fairly simple.

 
Mark McDermott says:

100%!
Some of those you could guess just from the background music. I guess even if you weren’t around when “Penelope Pitstop” was on, you would have recognized Paul Lynde.
Too bad they seemed to have had a very latter-day (H-B?) Popeye to pull the Wimpy from. Another void to be filled by those upcoming DVDs!

 
George says:

Bah! Switched the Hooded Claw and Underdog, otherwise I was ok!

I wish to hell all “quizzes” were this damn easy in college!! I adore that you had TWO Bill Thompsons in there! How clever! What a ba-last!

 
Graham says:
06/2/07  10:34am

100%

And they said it was harder. :P

 
Eric S. says:

I outta be slapped for mixing up underdog/hooded claw for a 13 of 15 result. In my defense I kinda got sick of scrolling, flipping between windows and numbering.

 
Andrew says:
06/2/07  10:58am

It would’ve been harder if ALL of them were supporting characters. Nevertheless, I too got a perfect score!

 
Amy Mebberson says:
06/2/07  11:32am

Toooooo damn easy.
C’mon, how are Mighty Mouse, Marvin Martian, Jabberjaw, Michigan J Frog and Droopy remotely difficult?

I thought Hooded Claw was easy. I had to think a LITTLE between Touche Turtle and Underdog, only because I don’t think I ever watched Underdog as a kid.

 
GagaMan says:
06/2/07  12:05pm

Haha, way too easy, 100% here too! XD

 
uncle wayne says:
06/2/07  12:28pm

Keep THOSE kind of “quiizzes” coming!! I love ‘em!

 
Bugsmer says:
06/2/07  1:35pm

I, too, got 100%, and I noticed that Atom Ant has Jughead’s voice, but I had to use the process of elimination for some of them. Wimpy was the hardest.

 
Tom Minton says:

Tricky in that Bill Thompson voiced both Droopy AND Touche Turtle, but otherwise, it was cool. This is the same test the DMV gives new drivers in California.

100% – 15 out of 15 ! Great fun! Thanks for sharing the link! I look forward to more quizes like this in the future!

 
Bryon E. Carson says:
06/2/07  7:12pm

A very easy 100%.

I watched way too much TV growing up. Oy.

 
Graham Finch says:

It’s amazing how many people kept mixing up Underdog with another character. Remember: Underdog is the one who rhymes.

 
Mike Russo says:
06/3/07  10:17am

Got ‘em all.

 
PCUnfunny says:
06/3/07  4:30pm

15 out of 15. Too easy.

 
Kevin W. Martinez a.k.a. Leviathan says:

I didn’t think I’d get them all right, but I did. There were some challenges in the bunch, but the trick is to listen to the surrrounding audio (music,SFX et al.)

 
tony says:
06/3/07  7:05pm

That was fun… 100% after three switches.
Was Paul Lynn the voice of #4?
Great site… thanks.

…That picture *begs* for a Photochop that moves the index fingers over to the left just a touch, with an anti “Cartoon” Network protest slogan attached! :-)

Way too easy! I got 3 of the 15 properties correct! (It helps to work in the marketing department of an entertainment conglomerate.)
