You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Hypnotic Hick ''''' is the 51st [[animated cartoon]] [[short subject]] in the ''[[Woody Woodpecker (film series)|Woody Woodpecker]]'' series. Released theatrically on September 26, 1953, the film was produced by [[Walter Lantz Productions]] and distributed by [[Universal Pictures#Universal International and Decca Records|Universal International]].<ref>((cite book |last1=Lenburg |first1=Jeff |title=The Encyclopedia of Animated Cartoons |date=1999 |publisher=Checkmark Books |isbn=0-8160-3831-7 |pages=157–158))</ref> It was Universal Pictures' first animated project released in 3D.

==Plot==
While happily roller skating, Woody ([[Grace Stafford]]) gets bullied by an angry [[Buzz Buzzard]] ([[Dallas McKennon|Dal McKennon]]) who has just avoided being served a [[summons]]. Thinking the woodpecker might want to seek mild revenge on Buzz, law officer I. Gypem (also McKennon) tells Woody he will pay him a dollar to serve Buzz with the summons.

Woody happily accepts the offer from Gypem, but Buzz manages to stop all attempts at delivering the summons. Woody then stumbles on a book about [[Hypnosis|hypnotism]], which declares: "Influence others and be their master". Woody reads the book cover to cover, and then decides to "practice" his newly acquired skill on Buzz. At first, he has some fun by putting the reluctant buzzard to sleep. Then, Woody turns him into a [[dog]], a [[monkey]], and appropriately enough, a woodpecker.

Finally, Woody blindfolds himself, begins walking on a [[skyscraper]] skeleton and tells Buzz (who has been fitted with Woody's [[roller skates]]), "I am your master. You must protect me at all times". The two encounter several death defying close calls before Woody manages to secure Buzz and escort him to I. Gypem's office.

Supposedly thankful, Gypem has the audacity to serve Woody with a summons, accusing the woodpecker of "practicing hypnotism out of season". Incensed, Woody hypnotizes Buzz into thinking he is a hungry [[Giant (mythology)|giant]] and Gypem is a tasty [[ham]] [[sandwich]]. While Buzz chases Gypem out of the office and into the city, Woody celebrates his victory by throwing the money into the air and doing his trademark laugh.

==Notes==
* ''Hypnotic Hick'' was the sole ''Woody Woodpecker'' entry released in [[3-D film|3-D]], in an attempt to cash in on the stereoscopic craze started with the film ''[[Bwana Devil]]''.<ref>((cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FVShFCjVzvIC&q=wally+walrus+woody+woodpecker&pg=PA198 |title=Who's who in animated cartoons: an ... - Jeff Lenburg - Google Books |isbn=9781557836717 |access-date=2011-12-18|last1=Lenburg |first1=Jeff |year=2006))</ref>
* ''Hypnotic Hick'' introduced yet another new rendition of "The Woody Woodpecker Song", which first appeared in the 1948 film ''[[Wet Blanket Policy]]''. This rendition, featuring a prominent [[trumpet]] and [[piano]] [[riff]], would become the ''de facto'' version, regularly appearing until 1961's ''[[Franken-Stymied]]''.
* ''Hypnotic Hick'' was also the first time Woody began speaking more regularly since 1949's ''[[Drooler's Delight]]''. The woodpecker had become virtually silent since [[Grace Stafford]] started supplying voice for the character in 1951, with the occasional dialogue line or two cropping up beginning with ''[[Stage Hoax]]''.
* ''Hypnotic Hick'' has a special opening sequence which highlights the presence of the [[3-D film|3D]] technique. Woody first bursts through a background tree, with the flying sawdust forming his name. Then Woody pops out of another tree, moves extremely close to the screen, and delivers his trademark laugh. This animated short is the last to have Woody popping out from a tree (and the only one to use this unique opening sequence), as Woody would return to popping from a wooden board in the next film, ''[[Hot Noon (or 12 O'Clock for Sure)]]'', and would continue to do so until the series end in 1972.
