Fender Bender 500

Fender Bender 500 is one of the animated segments in Wake, Rattle & Roll. It was a revival of Wacky Races, with Shadoe Stevens as the announcer. The competitors were:

• #00: Dick Dastardly and Muttley in the Dirty Truckster They had won the races in Russia, Brazil and Australia
• #1: Yogi Bear and Boo Boo in the Jellystone Jammer They had 6 wins
• #2: Huckleberry Hound and Snagglepuss in the Half-Dog Half-Cat Halftrack They had 6 confirmed wins
• #3: Magilla Gorilla and Wally Gator in the Swamp Stomper They had 4 wins in races
• #4: Top Cat and Choo Choo in the Alley Cat They had 5 wins
• #5: Quick Draw McGraw and Baba Looey in the Texas Twister They had 7 wins
• #6: Pixie and Dixie in the Cheddar Shredder They had 6 wins
• #7: Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy in the Lucky Trucky They had 5 wins
• #13: Winsome Witch and Lucky the Cat in the Sonic Broom She had 5 wins

Numbers 8–12 were not assigned to any vehicle in the race.

Aside from the obvious differences in this series, the shorter time format and the use of Hanna-Barbera's character library, there were a few key differences between this show and Wacky Races. There was a variety of running gags, the first one involving a rather nervous and non-speaking starter, who always was run over by the racers, or had a similar misfortune, every time he shot the starter pistol. Each race also featured what sounded like an especially luxurious prize, such as a hundred gold doubloons, or a thousand French Francs, only to have the prize turn into a silly facsimile such as a hundred gold BALLOONS or a thousand French hot dogs. Breaking the tradition of Wacky Races, Dick Dastardly and Muttley occasionally did win a Fender Bender race, only for Dastardly to get disappointed by the absurdness of the prize.
