At Any Price, It's Another Funny Tex Avery Movie
22 January 2022
Homer the flea and his dog are a happy couple. Then Homer spots a cute lady flea on a passing bull dog and falls in love.

It's an unexceptional movie for Tex Avery. This means it's packed full of gags and very funny details, like the medicinal soap the bull dog buys, labelled "Lice Buoy." This is a gag on Unilever's 'Life Buoy' brand, then at the peak of its popularity in the United States, with its medicinal smell promising that this was going to get you clean.

I could analyze other gags for you, but that's not necessary. Even though a fair number of them are outdated, there's plenty to laugh at in this one.
