I don't know, that always bugs me how they always have udders XD

That's the first thing I always notice, that's a male cow and he has udders, WHY??

Me too XDDD

i hate Barn Yard. that cartoon is stupid as hell.

I like the character designs, the writing is dumb.

you sure this wasn't just a good excuse to look in his pants? l3

Hmmmm.... maybe.

And he is a real cutie! Nice new guy.

And I would imagine it is the same reason that male kangaroos have pouches in cartoons. Those in charge buy the trope "Viewers are morons." They take an iconic look from a creature and apply it all over, even if it is sex-specific. And let's not forget the other gender example, peahens with fancy tails.

Good points, I too never understood male kangaroo with pouches. I can't remember a peacock\peahen character, but does not surprise me it would happen.

I forget other examples, but just the other day on Sophia the First there was a female peafowl as a pet. With the large, sparky tail. It's because that is such a feminine thing that it's hard not to do.

I am glad someone else beside me pointed this out. It has always annoyed me how they have udders and the fact that they are being called cows and not bulls.

I still call this guy a cow though. Bull is too macho for him.

Are you sure? Even if it's not an udder, you could try tugging on whatever's down there. Maybe milk or something will come out.

There was more text to this that was taken off. You pretty much said what Bruce said in his second speech bubble.

i only saw that on Barnyard. but yeah it's kinda weird and dumb

bulls should be bulls >:)

And, yup, he is a bull. I checked.

allrighty

That always bothered the crap out of me. Male cows have wieners, not udders. :P

They have big wieners, too. I checked.

I have no idea! Back At the Barnyard is ridiculous with having males bovines with udders.

Nice character! Cute! And a real bull!

Thanks. I always likes bulls, I always liked the black and white dairy cows. I've actually had this guy for a while, just never did anything with him.

We can't show males having penises on tv, but we can show the equivalent of boobs. :P

Might as well put some wolf teats up on TV, too, then. They're child safe.

You should still try milking him

*shrugs* I dunno.. Ferdinand didn't have no udder... didn't have the other 'bull' requirements, but he was a bull. What makes me snort is when they insist on drawing cows with those harnesses that look like toilet seats..

The sad thing is, that the tits on a bull thing started on "Barnyard" In the old Warner Bros, MGM, Paramount, Famous Studios and Disney Shorts, Bulls had massive Horns, but no udders. In many of them cows were drawn without udders, In the Hanna- Barberra Cartoons Bulls were not drawn with udders... this is why I firmly believe Otis is A Dyke I mean cause is She were a male, ther would only be ON thing to pull to get milk n_n

I'm guessing they do it to de-sexualize them, they know they have to put udders on because a few kids would actually know where milk comes from, but not really have a grasp that males would have diffrent equipment.

Also, I can't wait to see more with him :D

we know it's a poor excuse, I see that male cow = cow with udders is a way to mislead a kid, it'd be better to just not put udders on males, it's like a dude with breasts and it's not trans...

Now Benedict I do want to see in a cartoon !

I've always wondered that too. I like the new character!

I remember hearing their excuse on the Barnyard is that those were "male cows", not bulls, hence the udders. WTF.

I would think with dat bulge, there was no need for confirmation. Not that you mind doing so, but...

I think what's in a bulls pants is much more appealing then some udders :)

because disney has a twisted conception of the world

Male cows with udders are almost as bad as male kangaroos with pouches. Almost.

I remember back in the nineties there was a particularly popular cartoon mascot for Boddingtons pub ale called "Graham Heffer", a male cow who inexplicably had udders. It was pretty obvious in this case that his udders were supposed to be a daytime-tv-friendly euphemism for genitals, though it did lead to some people (including whoever wrote the Boddingtons wikipedia article) to label him a transgender.

Correction, it was Boddingtons "chilled cream".

He's lovely~

haha cute :D

I read somewhere that they do it for comedy reasons.

Just like kangaroos. Only the females have pouches. Along with all the other marsupials. :)

Maybe cartoon should try drawing female characters with a package and no bumps under their shirts.

Bruce gets a Whopper for dinner.

male "cows" got some of the best balls <3
