Jerky Turkey (1945)
Directed by Tex Avery
Overview
A dopey Pilgrim goes hunting a turkey who speaks in a Jimmy Durante impersonation and runs the local black market. War and rationing gags abound (Pilgrims line up behind a sign reading “Ye Cigarettes Today”), as well as a running gag featuring a bear wearing an “Eat at Joe’s” sandwich sign. The turkey harnesses the power of gags to save himself.
