bob clampett an itch in time milk seven minute of crazy action out of a very small premise . elmer fudd tell his dog that if he scratch himself just once more that he will be give a dreaded bath . unfortunately for the dog and a relentless flea make it all but impossible to stop from scratch . the cartoon switch between the flea progress inside the dog fur and the dog desperate attempt to cope with it . in a great sequence that really capture the frustration of an itch that can not be scratch and the dog change colour from brown to blue to red to polka dot to plaid . it sound ludicrously surreal but it perfectly evoke the indescribable feeling of an itch in a way only clampett could . there be several other element which make an itch in time pure clampett . there the grotesque concept itself and which lead to some graphic scene of the flea munch on the dog flesh . there the unrestrained violence that rear it head in any scene feature the cat . most notably and there the dirty joke include a huge shot of the dog behind which cause the flea to wolf whistle and a hysterical sequence in which the dog attempt to scratch himself by drag his backside along the floor . he momentarily break off to address the audience represent hey and i good cut this out . i may get to like it . with a very limited concept and clampett manages to make an itch in time a unique and minutia base cartoon . like an early episode of seinfeld and an itch in time be practically about nothing but very funny with it .
