I don't know why this cracks me up, but it just does. Especially when toonces opens his mouth when he drives off the cliff. Must be the road runner cartoons I watched growing up.

[deborahkish]

I haven't seen Toonces in years!! Love it!!

[Boognish]

I haven't seen this in so many years. The cat with fake arms putting on a tie and the real life cat sitting calmly while fake arms holding chloroform and a rag is so hilarious!

[palaceofwisdom]

I love that they not only seem to inexplicably escape severe injury from those crashes, but as a result they see no reason not to let Toonces drive anymore.

[jasongates]

They really need to bring back Toonces as an Uber or Lyft driver.

[notsure]

The Toonces sketches still make me laugh.

[The_ZeroLine]

“Toonces was driving that day.” I just died laughing.

[nebulousisgod]

I love how the audience isn’t laughing at all except when the car goes off the cliff. Whoever came up with this reoccurring sketch should get an Emmy and a bar of gold.

[PoohbearPlus]

Absolutely adore that scene when the woman asks Spunky if he is getting ready and he meows back while he shaving. A real cat giving a real meow with that fake paw shaving, now that cracks me up!

[dianacarbonate]

That is one the the dumbest, most nonsensical things I have ever seen, and I cannot stop laughing. Absolute genius.

My mom named our cat Toonces and I loved that cat so much that she's been my screen name for just about everything since ❤️

[DeathmetalSeen]

So many great skits from this era. Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman will always be some of the best there ever was in my opinion.

The scene at 1:48 is truly hilarious when Toonces is hearing what a good driver Spunky is. The funniest part is where Toonces repeatedly has his jaw dropped in awe and disbelief when he is hearing what a good driver Spunky is. Toonces is definitely envious of Spunky, that is for sure.

[jbr]

I miss the great Phil Hartman. Even just his voice cracks me up.

[alexine]

The first time I watched Toonces was in high school the teacher put on a tape and I couldnt stop laughing.... Bring Toonce
s back!

[michaelzoran]

The scene at 1:09 where Toonces is a kitten and is driving around is hilarious. The funniest part is where Toonces has his mouth opened and is screaming when he knows his is going to crash and is falling. :-)

[tajmacameron]

Toonces was one of my favorite skits on SNL🤣🤣🤣

[MrBones-kyfb]

Man, Toonces just can't seem to handle that one curve!

[dabunnyrabbit]

I remember staying up late with my cousin watching this, trying to laugh quietly.

[imposter]

I thought Toonces was using the other cat's skin as a disguise. My interpretation was considerably darker.
