But Goofy isn't that little man.
Turns out, Goofy, whom is a chain-smoker, has tried to quit but now wants to smoke again. He is doing anything for a cigar, cigarette, pipe, etc. with hilarious results.
This cartoon is probably banned from TV by now, and it's too bad, because this Disney cartoon is extremely funny! It seems to try and show how bad smoking could be, but here they don't show how it blackens your lungs or gives you cancer. That would make it funnier! The real fun begins at Goofy's office, where Goofy (called "George" here) is smoking tons of cigarettes as he chugs on them like a train. He decides to quit after having irritated eyes and tickling throats, but everyone else in his office still smokes. One guy even does the old tradition of passing out cigars in honor of being a father, but does not give one to Goofy! Then comes the race to try and get any tobacco-related product for him to light up. Many funny things occur, including Goofy fighting with a hobo to get a cigarette lying on the street, and he even grabs what LOOKS like a cigar but is really a pen, and even grabs a white pipe that's really part of a carnival shooting gallery (with the white ducks and pipes).
Then comes the funny part where Goofy/George asks an old banker for something to smoke, asking for "a cig, a f*g, a pipe, nail, weed, rope or chaw or cigar..." and gets an exploding cigar, which he still enjoys.
I think the Disney animators really made this short in order to get Walt Disney himself to quit smoking! But to no avail, since Disney continued smoking and died of lung cancer in 1966. But overall, I recommend this 100%, although some of it might gross you out.
