If you're from my generation or beyond, you probably grew up watching a cartoon featuring an ant and an aardvark. Wikipedia informs me that the cartoons I'm referring to were produced between 1969 and 1971, which made me around 5-years-old when these hilarious skits hit my television screen.
Earlier today, a dear friend sent a link to The Ant and the Aardvark, which is now available on YouTube. Seriously, I cannot get enough of this stuff:
Where have all the good cartoons gone? Apparently, onto YouTube!

I remember this cartoon. Of course when I watched them they were in reruns. I remember it came on after the Pink Panther cartoons. Very funny dialogue that most little kids would not understand. The animation looks very "70s" too.

Oh man. The voices are by John Byner who made me want to be a comedian at the tender age of about eight.
He did a bunch of impersonations, the ant is Dean Martin, and the Aardvark is Jackie Mason. Nice!
PS - I just looked at Wikipedia and it confirms what I said. I'm still taking credit for my observation.
wow I was just gonna say I love the voices. Didn't know Dean Martin and Jackie Mason were behind that - cool. Kinda had that mel brooks one-liner comedy thing.
