About

Somebody Toucha My Spaghet is a series of video remixes based on a scene from a 1939 animated cartoon The Three Bears in which a character says the line.

Origin

The Three Bears was released on February 10th, 1939 by Terry Toons.^[1] The cartoon is an animated retelling of the children's fable "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." However, this version makes several changes to the orginal, giving the bears a stereotypical thick Italian accent, having the bears eat spaghetti instead of porridge, and being welcoming to Goldilocks after she shows that she can play the fiddle. In the cartoon, the titular Three Bears find their home broken into. When they discover their goods have been tampered with, Papa Bear shouts "Somebody toucha my spaghet!" in a stereotypical Italian accent (shown below).
