In a blatant attempt to one-up Rocket Robin Hood’s foppish wish for “merriment and sweet amusement,” Little John utters something unlike I’ve never, ever, ever heard in a cartoon. It’s not even like the Texas Jack clip, where I’m pretty sure he’s saying something else. Little John totally just said what you think he said. His “joke” doesn’t even make sense in any non-dirty context it was presumably intended for! As fodder for a snarky cartoon site, Rocket Robin Hood lobs softballs. I don’t even have to do any work here.
There’s a lot more of Little John coming this week right here on the site. Also, I didn’t mean that like it sounded.
Dear god. You’re totally right: there isn’t a non-dirty interpretation.

Good God! There isn’t even anything that makes it look like it was “animated”. I could make better moving animation and I suck at it. “The Great Bear Scare” had better animation than this, and I love GBS :p.

I knew they were called “Merry Men,” but this isn’t exactly what I had imagined. And that helmet isn’t helping.

Also: no British accents.
Dig that classic Joe Hero look! It’s like they were just praying for Victor Mature to buy the rights.

This is actually a Canadian Standard. It airs on Teletoon retro a lot and my friend knows the friggin theme song by heart. It also had a LOT of interstitials. There was barely a cartoon. I could be wrong but I think it either shared the animation company that did the sixties Spider-Man cartoon or else they literally stole a plot in which Spider-Man (and in Rocket Robin Hood Robin and Little John) fight some master of another dimension who can control reality but had some sort of escape key the whole time.

[...] the Sheriff’s “sti-uuuuuupid” son into marrying the ape. That’s his plan: To bring a little merriment while saving his friends lives, and possibly make Little John bend over. And since Planet Lucifer houses all the horrors you would think a planet named after Satan himself [...]

I remember watching Rocket Robin Hood when I was a kid! I think I saw it on either KCOP-13 or KTTV-11 Los Angeles.

[...] Little John bends over is enjoying a nice boost in views over at YouTube, and it’s clear to see why: he’s one of the most likable, terrible characters ever. Why isn’t there a cult following around this guy yet? Say what you will about the animation and the writing, but the way they guy doing Little John’s voice delivers his understated lines makes me smile everytime. I know, I know…that hardly seems possible. Share It! [...]

One of my favorite lines in Rocket Robinhood! I love how Little John can’t wait to get out of that soooo restricting costume. Can’t keep the guy in pants if you tried.

Stefan Robak’s comment is right. There were 2 episodes of the old Spider-Man cartoon that reused animation from Rocket Robin Hood. They were created by the same studio.
