Betty Boop has some ideas about public transit etiquette (and they're wild)

If you have seven minutes to spare today, yes, you should absolutely watch this. Anyone who has ever wanted to scream at a loud gum-chewer on the bus will love it. 🚌

If you're looking for deep character development... well, why are you watching a 1930s cartoon? You will probably hate it if you want logic.

Betty is just trying to walk to work, but the universe is testing her. She gets splashed by a car, she gets soot on her face, and then this awful guy slaps her on the back so hard her teeth rattle.

It is so relatable. We've all had those mornings where we just want the world to stop being so annoying.

Instead of crying, Betty gets a job as a stenographer in a courtroom and starts daydreaming about being the judge. This is where the classic Fleischer Brothers weirdness kicks in.

Her punishments are incredibly specific. The guy who drops his chewing gum on the floor? She sentences him to be stuck to a giant sheet of flypaper.

It's beautiful. 😭

The animation has that bouncy, rubbery quality where everything—even the courthouse chairs—seems to have a heartbeat.

The music is fast and keeps things moving, unlike some slower comedy movies from the era like Three of a Kind which can drag a bit.

I noticed that the judge's gavel is alive too. It literally bites people.

There's also a weirdly long sequence where a guy who splashes mud on people gets put in a washing machine. You can tell the animators had a blast drawing the soap suds.

Some of the voice acting by Mae Questel is just perfect. Especially when Betty does her trademark "boop-oop-a-doop" but with a slightly angry, vengeful edge.

Its not a masterpiece, and the ending comes out of absolutely nowhere. But honestly? It made me feel seen.

Next time someone cuts me in line, I'm going to imagine Betty's giant flypaper.
