On the laserdisc edition of The Compleat MGM Tex Avery, there seems to be a cut that nobody has mentioned yet, or noticed yet - on the short called Blitz Wolf.

In the beginning of the short, the two little pigs are singing/mocking their third brother building the brick house: You're in the army now, you're not behind the plow, you're digging a ditch.............. (then there's this freeze/pause, before they continue)..........you're in the army now, they conclude.

It may not be a cut, but it seemed odd that the scene froze like that. Was there a part of the lyric that was cut, or is it just a glitch?

[Henry Gale]

Nothing has been cut and it's not a glitch.
The freeze frame gave the audience time to supply the (obvious) missing words.

[Eric Peterson]

Yep! One of my favorite Avery jokes. Let the audience fill in the punchline.

Something cartoons and comedies of today, can't seem to understand. Also, a very clever way of avoiding censorship.
