Mr. Spacely
From Free net encyclopedia
Cosmo G. Spacely is a fictional character in the animated series The Jetsons. In the original series he was voiced by Mel Blanc. Frank Welker voiced a teenage version of Mr. Spacely in the Jetsons Christmas Carol and Jeff Bergman voiced Spacely in some scenes in Jetsons: The Movie after Blanc's death).
Spacely is president of 'Spacely Space Sprockets', where George Jetson works. Mr. Spacely is the stereotypical tough boss, constantly yelling at George for his perceived poor work performance. A typical videophone call from Spacely starts with him yelling "Jetson!!!" at the top of his lungs. Mr. Spacely's aggressive behavior is in contrast with his extremely short, rotund stature, and the three hairs combed over his bald head. Not content with making George's worklife difficult, Mr. Spacely often found excuses to get involved in George's personal life, increasing his employee's already high stress level.
Mr. Spacely's wife is the snooty Mrs. Starla Spacely (voiced by Jean Vanderpyl), who henpecks her husband unmercifully. His son is Arthur Spacely (voiced by Dick Beals). Mr. Spacely's closest (and apparently only) competitor is Henry Cogswell (voiced by Daws Butler), the distributor of 'Cogswell Cogs'.
Spacely's catch phrase is: "JETSON!!! You're FIRED!!!!"
The character of Chief Epsilon on the Disney cartoon series, Teamo Supremo, bears a resemblance to Mr. Spacely, but is larger in physical size. Fred Flintstone's boss, Mr.Slate, also is distinctly similar to Mr.Spacely and their characters parallel one another in many ways (interestingly, Henry Gogswell resembles Mr. Slate - possibly they are distant relatives).
