Not bad for this type of cartoon.
5 February 2022
In the early 1940s, Looney Tunes made a lot of shorts that were like fake documentaries....and they usually were filled with very lame jokes...terribly lame jokes. "Porky's Snooze Reel" is very similar in format but it's supposed to be a takeoff on the typical newsreel. If you are too young to know what a newsreel was, it was the closest thing they had to television news back in the day...and patrons attending movies would often see them as they discussed the latest news.

The cartoon has two narrators...one of which is Porky and he introduces the newsreel as well. It's filled with lame jokes--some of which work some of which don't. But overall, there are more hits than misses and it's worth seeing.
