Comic Script Bubble explained the meaning of the anvil falling from the sky, and other clichés in animation

Bubble comic screenwriter Alexei Zemsky said on Twitter about the most popular clichés of American children's cartoons. It turned out that they are inherited directly from history.

As for the first cliché scenes when someone behind someone runs a scrap of a water pipe. As it turned out, this "local meme" studio Warner Bros.

On the tube was easier just - why suddenly the trumpet? And just one of the Warner brothers, one was chasing the other (they were saturated ratio) on the set with a pipe. And the first appearance of this scene in the movie - "inside joke" those who knew himself anecdote.

Next in line - banana kozhurki. In fact, they are very difficult to slip, but the fruit itself was so common that the skin was everywhere, yet not invented refrigerators. Therefore, when a man slipped on a banana peel, he was considered unlucky.

Slips on a banana peel is not because it is slippery (it's just a relatively hard), but because it is everywhere. At the beginning of the last century, the banana peel in New York was everywhere, because in the pre-refrigeration era it was the most common type of fast food.

Banana is not necessary to be put on ice, do not need to cook, it is the nature of the convenient packaging and easy to transport. Initially gag meant "to slip on the super-released objects", ie "to what are not lucky!"

On the anvil falling from the sky even more interesting. It turned out that the Americans used them to save gunpowder in fireworks. Unfortunately, by this trick a lot of people died.

And for dessert, of course, the anvil. So, there are many deaths anvil falling from the sky.
Because America has always loved fireworks, and they know how to do is not always the case.

So instead of fireworks put one anvil to the other, poured into the recess in the support of black powder - and oops, two broads at the price of one! First, when the BAHA powder, the second - when the anvil and Bach flies back to the ground.
But it flew where it is necessary, of course. People died.

Distracted: when the former capital of British Columbia selected status of the capital and only gun, so it was necessary for the holidays instead of a salute of 21 shots in the sky to make launching anvils 21. Is there anything in the world just as majestic.
