“Th-th=that’s all people!” is a line that is said by many at the end of the Looney Tunes cartoon to be delivered by none other than the famous stutterer Porky Pig. Porky Porky, along with many other Looney Tunes characters, was dubbed by Mel Blanc, who was called the man of 1000 voices. Because of such a familiar phrase, many people now say “All Nations” at the end of a presentation or when people want to leave. Even the teachers and the policemen put forth a remarkable line. No one seems immune to using these lines in pop culture.
It is possible, however, that this phrase, “All nations”! does it have an origin?
The first version of the phrase seems to be, “As long as the nations!” This was used in the cartoon Bosko in 1929. In 1930, Looney Tunes the character Bosko said, “All nations”.
It is thought, however, that this can be said more than this word. A cartoon series called “Jerry Troublesome Tyke” in Britain in 1926. Tossed the cartoon with “And everything”.
However, there are no certain expressions. The program seems likely, but it is unknown if Mel Blanc knew the series “Jerry Tyke Troublesome.
What you do know is that Mel Blanc’s headstone at her final resting place was inscribed with the famous phrase “All Nations”, above it a name that will remind us of her contribution to pop culture forever.
