Sloppy Moe is a character in "Injun Trouble" and its remake "Wagon Heels".
Description[]
Sloppy Moe is a crazy, hyperactive, silly hillbilly who would go around quoting "I know something I won't tell, I won't tell, I won't tell!" to the tune of "London Bridge is Falling Down". When Porky Pig is cornered by Injun Joe, Sloppy Moe reveals that Injun Joe is ticklish and proceeds to tickle Injun Joe with his beard and hands enough to cause Injun Joe to fall off the cliff. Sloppy Moe was voiced by Mel Blanc in the original cartoon, and Bob Clampett in the remake.
Sloppy Moe was originally referred to as "Goofus" during the production of "Injun Trouble". He was later renamed to as "Sloppy Joe" in model sheets for "Wagon Heels" before the "Joe" was changed, as it possibly could have clashed with Injun Joe's name.
In the Tiny Toon Adventures episode "New Character Day", a cartoon called "The Return of Pluck Twacy" has Sloppy Moe parodied as a criminal named "Ticklepuss" (voiced by Charlie Adler). When Ticklepuss attacks Pluck Twacy and states that ducks are ticklish in the ears, Pluck Twacy states that ducks don't have ears. Ticklepuss places fake ears on Pluck Twacy and proceeds to tickle them. Remembering what Duck Twacy would to at a time like this, Pluck Twacy subjects himself to pain enough to drive Ticklepuss away.
