Comments

From Patrick Malone : I had mentioned this one before as it had been shown previously as a teaser on TDC. This series is becoming of the best of the "short-short" series; even so, some of the gags were a little predictable, and it's getting a little tiresome just to see Goofy act out a list of behaviors. Still, as I mentioned before, it was nice to see him getting the chance to talk back to the narrarator. Perhaps someday he'll be able to drag him into the visual action as well.

From J. D. Weil : This short short is the best of the lot. Not only does it have good visual gags, but the closing gag pefectly complements the whole cartoon, I only wish it was longer.

From Juan F. Lara : A typical gag cartoon. I really laughed only once, when Goofy got ticked off at the narrator ( "...was YOUR fault.." ). Beyond that, the short had just another list of visual puns. I thought the timing was off in the "look Ma, no hands" scene.

From Lee Suggs : Goofy decides to try climbing. this short short has some funny sight gags, and Goofy's interaction with the narrator is amusing. The problem I have with this series is that it is a bit too predictable. (Goofy completes a list of sports activities, gets injured at the end.) This particular short overcomes this somewhat with a surprise ending.

I have seen "Goofy's Extreme Sports : Rock Climbing" and would like to
