Slap Happy Pappy is a 1940 Looney Tunes cartoon starring Porky Pig.
Plot
Porky owns a farm. The cartoon starts with him plowing the fields. But the bulk of the cartoon is about the poultry farm. A sign reads, "Miracle Eggs for sale, if it's a good egg it's a miracle egg". A rabbit impersonating Jack Benny (Jack Bunny) looks at eggs. He is about to smash a black egg, but it breaks and a black bird goes out (Doing an impersonation of Rochester).
The scene cuts to the Eddie Cackler Family (Eddie Cantor). The family wants a son, but is having no luck. Five eggs hatch and not a single one of them is a boy. A Bing Crosby lookalike happens to be near by holding a stroller that has babies all of which are boys. The father asks him what his secret is, and he crones to a chick who then lays dozen of eggs, all of whom are boys.
Eddie tries the same thing to his wife, and she has an egg. The two are dancing when Eddie asks if the baby could really be a boy. He then says, "Mmm maybe!"
Censorship
When this cartoon aired on Nickelodeon's compilation show, Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon, the scene in which a young chicken version of Rochester hatches out of the egg and yells to Jack Bunny, "Hold it, boss! Mm-mm, heaven can wait!" before Jack Bunny can crush him with a mallet was cut.[1]
