Still, you gotta be choosy with Our Gang shorts. I went to YouTube last night seeking out ones I’d never seen, thinking it would be more of my favorite Stymie/Spanky pairups - “Now I know why Artie choked!” - but the first two I ran into showed some apalling stuff.
Spanky wishing on a lamp for a monkey, Stymie cautioning him to be careful, and Spanky replying that a wish could simply put a tail on Buckwheat’s brother Cotton, and you’d have a monkey.
Also, Spanky in trouble with the gang, so he dresses up in blackface, pretending to be Buckwheat, in order to pass by unnoticed.
Childhood bubble burst.
