>male cartoon character loses his pants
>underwear has hearts
what's the origin of this?
>>
>>150650701
It's an embarrassing pattern for a man to be seen in and adds to the joke of him being publicly exposed.
>>
>>150651837
Not OP but probably it originated from a movie
>>
>>150651837
The OP asked for the origin, not an explanation of the joke.
>>
>>150650701
I wear these.
>>
>>150650701
I think that's called "iconography". That's just what cartoon underwear looks like in our minds. It's a universal symbol. Also something about the global subconscious.
>>
>>150651975
cartoon underwears are the "tighty whitey" versions.

Back in the olden days red long johns were the norm
>>
>>150651951
Are they comfortable?
>>

>>150652012
Actually knew a guy who wore those once.
>>
>>150652517
no, my balls swing around like clackers
>>
>>150652622
Why, was his place badly heated? They look uncomfortable.
>>
>>150652622
I wear these.

I also shower with a showercap with little hearts and a back scrubber, and travel with a bindle made from a red & white polka dot patterned cloth.

He was old, alcoholic, stoner so I don't know what his logic was. Think he just used them in winter.

Probably not the origin, but Aladin probably made it popular, even though it was an animation error.
>>
>>150650701
Probably started with something similar to pick related and evolved to white with red hearts over time.
>>
>>150656176
>even though it was an animation error.
?
>>
>>150656413
The tiger bit and tore off the pants revealing the underwear, but instead of the pants in his mouth they animated the underwear. Continuity error.

Have you ever slashed another's face with a bean can lid for disrespecting your religion?
>>
>>150656400
I need a corset like that
>>
im sure some furfag have a fetish for this
>>
>>150660546
yes, here i am
>>
>>150650701
It's a mystery.
>>
>>150652694
I need to start hobo-maxxing.
>>
How many cartoons did this very specific thing (underwear with hearts) cannot think of many
>>
>>150650701
i think these are cool, what would be the modern equivalent of these funny boxer shorts?
>>
>>150656176
It was popular well before Aladdin, zoomer
>>
>>150650701
I think the joke was originally that it's frilly feminine underwear.
>>
my guess would be old black and white comedy where white and dots are easily recognized. then hearts and pink came with looney toons color cartoons
>>
>>150650701

It was already an existing joke in 1964.

Like a lot of cartoon and TV jokes of the mid-century era, I imagine its origins are in Vaudeville. It's absolutely the sort of burlesque buffoonery that would have been popular. Forgive the watermarked stock image, but I ain't payin' for that shit.
>>
>>150650701
Do you all happen to wear this.
