This has to be the simplest cartoon short I’ve ever seen. Betty gets frustrated about house cleaning, so Grampy helps out and then it just ends.

[ximec.r.]

The fact that she gets frustrated and throws a tantrum makes me like her as a character even more

[cyberdragonessmaster]

Let's face it we all need someone like Grampy in our lives

[samuellasky]

I find Grampy interesting as a character since, while he's not the only classic cartoon character to abuse cartoon physics (Bugs Bunny and the Roadrunner come to mind), I think he might be the only one who exclusively uses it to help people

Her little temper tantrum is so cute!!!

Always liked the 3D miniature panning shots. In early Popeye cartoons as well.

If I could clean like this, I would never have to worry about a dirty house again.

2:58 even when Betty is going mad, she still sounds so innocent.

Betty Boop: * cleans for 1 minute*
Betty Boop: I'm so tired of cleaning :(

[daniwells]

okay but yall notice how Betty got a different house in every other cartoon? lol

I love watching these old 30s cartoons. Especially Betty and Grampy. They're so adorable.

“I wish people wouldn’t smoke so much anyhow!”
Well she got her wish.

First step of not getting tired while cleaning: take off your heals.

It may be a goofy little cartoon, but it's a beautiful story of helping family unburden their workload so they can spend quality time. Go Grampy!

[lkibrnes]

i loved the part when she was trying to not lose her temper and started counting and then started smashing the plates while counting its so cute

[bug]

The ending is just so adorable! I love how excited she gets

[crm]

What makes Grampy such a cool dude is the fact that unlike other men of the period, he’s perfectly willing to help Betty do the chores

[chriswinkler]

Nice house guests leaving her place like that afterward. No wonder Betty lost it in a cute way ;P

I used to watch Betty boop! She was my favorite actor as a kid! She always made me smile 😁
To this day I'm searching on YT to watch her episodes, because we can't find any of the copy's irl! Thank you for reading this comment, and I hope Betty boop still does voice acting to to this day on! I love her!!! ♥️😍
