The Impractical Joker
- June 18, 1937 (1937-06-18)
The Impractical Joker is a 1937 Fleischer Studios animated short film starring Betty Boop.[2] Jack Mercer (the voice of Popeye) provides the voice for Irving.[3]
Synopsis
Betty Boop is baking a cake, when Irving the practical joker comes for a visit. Betty becomes the victim of such pranks as shaking a false hand and getting squirted in the face. Betty calls on Grampy for help, and he quickly rigs his apartment to counteract Irving's pranks and send him on his way. Irving gets the last laugh, when Grampy lights the candle on the cake. Irving replaced the candle with a firecracker before he left. That last laugh is short-lived, however, when the picture of a warship that Irving is standing next to shoots water at him continuously.
