The Funny Company is an American animated cartoon produced in 1963 and seen in syndication. Ken Snyder and Charles Koren produced 260 six-minute-long episodes (they later would create the cult favorite Roger Ramjet).[1] The Mattel Corporation provided financial backing.[2] Snyder conceived the program in response to then-Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Newton N. Minow's call for more educational children's programs.
Plot
The Funny Company group resembled a club not unlike a Junior Achievement organization, that had a noseless smiley face used as the club logo;<[3]<[4] and most of the time, the stories would revolve around the Company being hired for different jobs to make a little money (yard work, house cleaning, babysitting, etc.) or doing something for charity (such as putting on shows).<
