Barky Marky is a cartoon character from the Warner Bros. animated television series Tiny Toon Adventures. He appears occasionally in the show, mostly in cameos. He was voiced by Frank Welker. |
Biography
Barky is a young, brown and tan male dog. He attends Acme Looniversity and lives in Acme Acres. Barky Marky is based on the Looney Tunes character, Marc Anthony.
Personality
Barky Marky loves to play fetch as well as various other sports and activities. He has a nice disposition and is usually seen with his tongue hanging from his mouth.
In "Go Fetch", Barky Marky is playing with his ball and Hamton comes along and throws it for him to fetch. When Hamton cannot play any longer, Barky has no one else to play with and looks sad, but Elmyra Duff sees him from her window with a pair of binoculars and comes right out to play. After hugging and squeezing Barky, she decides to throw the ball for him so he can fetch it. Barky is very excited to play, until he finds out in very painful ways that every throw Elmyra makes lands him in a bad predicament. At the end of the episode, he has had enough and chases after Elmyra with a tennis ball machine, which had malfunctioned and attacked him moments earlier when he was trying to retrieve the ball.
He plays football with Buster and the gang in the episode "The Acme Bowl", beating a cheating Perfecto Prep team. In other episodes, he is usually present at Acme Looniversity or anywhere else the other Tiny Toons are at the time.
Mocked for Lack of Appearances
Besides having his very own short entitled "Go Fetch" in the episode "The Wide World of Elmyra", and getting several scenes with the other Tiny Toon cast in Tiny Toon Spring Break and the direct-to-video movie Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation, Barky mainly makes his appearances in cameos; because of this, he is referenced and mocked in the Season 3 episode "Weekday Afternoon Live", a spoof of Saturday Night Live. When Buster Bunny is reading the news out loud from the viewers complaining about him not being in enough scripts, Babs Bunny, posing as a Tiny Toons casting director, asks, "Who's Barky Marky?"
