Growing up my sisters and I would spend a lot of time in the summer visiting our grandparents in Rhode Island. When it was really hot, we watched movies in their basement. They had a ton of bootleg Disney and Peanuts movies, but I remember watching Betty Boop shorts as well.
The one I remember the most involved sick cars getting repaired in a hospital (which I found for this post!) When I rewatched it this week, I realized I had forgotten how strange and surreal the shorts actually were. I guess I just never noticed when I was younger how weird each scenario Betty is placed in, the strangeness amplified by the jaunty music each short is set to.
Everyday Strange 
So true. I loved them as a kid. I still do. I love surreal.

I’m with you on this. I love the character of Betty Boop but am sometimes unsure how appropriate the cartoons are! They are very odd.

Weird. This is the only Betty Boop episode I can remember ever watching too. I don’t think I watched it regularly as a kid, I was a Looney Tunes fan.
