    The Awful Tooth might be a bit cruel for an Our Gang short but it still got some laughs from me

    This Hal Roach comedy short, The Awful Tooth, is the one hundred sixty-eighth entry in the "Our Gang/Little Rascals" series and the eightieth talkie. Alfalfa, along with Spike and Porky, need some coins to finally get some baseball equipment when Buckwheat reveals a dime he got from the Tooth Fairy. So Alf now has the idea to get all his teeth pulled out for some more money. When he tells this to the dentist, he knows it's an absurd idea and resolves to scare them all out of it. Okay, obviously, this is a pretty cruel situation for the gang to be in especially as it's meant to teach not only them but any kid watching this a lesson. And perhaps seeing the black character of Buckwheat suddenly go into prayer mode during some of this makes it an unflattering stereotype of his race for the period this was made in. But the absurdity of the whole thing still made me laugh much of the time now as it did when I first watched this as a kid, back in the late '70s. And seeing Jack Norton-who usually played a drunk-do an out-of-character role as the dentist is also good for some laughs. So on that note, The Awful Tooth wasn't too bad for an Our Gang short. P.S. This was Nate Watt's second and final Our Gang short as director. He'd make some undistinguished features and TV shows before dying on May 26, 1968.

    Seein' The Dentist With The Little Rascals

    An OUR GANG Comedy Short.

    In order to earn money for their baseball equipment, Alfalfa & the Rascals plan to have all their teeth extracted and then left under their pillow for the Good Fairy to turn into dimes. However, the kindly dentist the kids visit has a few plans of his own & soon the Boys will have to face THE AWFUL TOOTH

    A funny little film. Highlight: Alfalfa in the dentist's chair.

    Rather dark and cruel! And, I liked it that way!

    Wow, are the kids stupid in this very late Our Gang comedy. When they hear that Buckwheat got a dime for losing a tooth, they decide that they can make a fortune if they can convince the dentist to yank out ALL their teeth!! That way they can all buy new baseball gloves! However, the dentist (Jack Norton) is a bit of a sadist and decides to teach them a lesson--by scaring the pants off them!! He grabs Alfalfa and pretends he's going to yank them--and, according to him, it "might take hours!". It's a wonder if any of them will ever see a dentist again after this one!! Fortunately, he turns out to be a pretty good guy in the end. It's all VERY dark...but also funny in a cruel sort of way. I am sure it alienated some of the fans, but I thought this was a nice departure for the series.

    Like the last few Our Gang shorts by Hal Roach Studios, Spanky is not in this film. Apparently he'd been loaned out to RKO for a full-length film and would return once the series was sold to MGM and retitled 'The Little Rascals'.

    Not infuriating, but not very good

    I'll say this for the dentist: He doesn't get as carried away by his sadism as other adults who revel in frightening the Rascals under the guise of moral instruction (see BEAR FACTS, for example). He also doesn't mislead them much - extracting teeth is a horribly painful process with serious consequences, and it makes sense for him to strongly discourage them in case they decide to hire someone else or yank them on their own. Best of all, he forks over some rewards to console them.

    That being said, this entire short is pretty dull, because its preachiness is so plain - more than probably any other Hal Roach OUR GANG I've seen, it barely even tries to be funny or charming.

    Dental horror does not equal comedy

    Hal Roach was quickly winding down Our Gang production by mid-1938. He instituted a cost cutting measure 2 years earlier by dropping the series back to one reel (roughly 10 minutes) after the final 2-reeler, Arbor Day was completed. The Awful Tooth ranks as one of the worst of the Roach-produced entries, primarily because it suffers from exactly what would become habitual once the series moved over to MGM: it ain't funny! Aside from the title word play on Leo McCarey's 1937 screwball comedy what you've got here is Alfalfa getting the crap scared out of him by a sadistic dentist (played by erstwhile movie drunk, Jack Norton)... not exactly the kind of thing audiences might see as funny, and it isn't. Okay, the series was already 16 years old at this point, and with 167 entries (not counting the feature flop, General Spanky in 1936) there's bound to be some duds in the bunch. This is definitely one of them. With the completion of the following entry, Hide and Shriek, Roach would end all short subject production--- the product his unique independent studio was built on.

    • Trivia

In order the five shorts' titles, without 'Spanky' are Feed 'em and Weep (1938), The Awful Tooth (1938), Hide and Shriek (1938). Two were filmed at MGM, The Little Ranger (1938) and Party Fever (1938).
    • Errores
      When the Gang go to the dentist to have their teeth pulled, Alfalfa asks, "Is Dr Schwartz in?" The nurse replies, "Why, yes." Above and behind the boys, on the window of the office (appearing backward so it can be read from the outside) is the sign, "Dr O.A. Schultz, Dentist".

      Porky: [with his inimitable charming pronunciation, Porky shares his nervousness in the dentist's office] Som'n tells me this ain't gon be so hot.

      Buckwheat: Yeah, me too.
