Can someone offer some context for this abortion?

Animating the cartoon first and then dubbing the lines afterwards is a common way to save costs and speed up production.
Usually there's some sort of script, though.

Why weren't these bozos away fighting in Korea instead of making shitty cartoons?

1954, a year of abject misery

I like the super-Chicago accents completely undiminished by the minstrel slang.

horrible, but still better than wold the movie.

I find it very appropriate that this cartoon opens with a song made up entirely of mocking, sadistic laughter.

The actor had a gun to the back of his head, and was told not to stop talking.
(Needs "bad animation" tag)

There's like 20 seconds of unique animation in this.

"Here are your lines. Say as many of them as you can as fast as you can. Don't stop for any reason."

It's like some horrible MST3k fan attempt.

Jewish Popeye has a huge penis.

Who goes swimming in the ocean looking for adventure?

I cannot stop laughing at this. It's like the production team was halfway through an animation when the deadline hit and they just figured "Who'll notice?"
