Description:  "Yippee, Yappee and Yahooey" is a Hanna-Barbera cartoon segment from The Peter Potamus Show (1964-1966) about three clumsy dog royal guards who are tasked with protecting their king. Despite their loyalty, their incompetence often results in accidental harm to the king or the creation of new disasters, though they sometimes do succeed in thwarting villains like a dragon or a highwayman. The characters are loosely based on the Three Musketeers.

Characters: Yippee, Yappee, and Yahooey are three dogs who serve as the "goofy guards" to their King.

Plot: Each short features the trio attempting to protect the King, but their bumbling actions lead to comical mishaps. For instance, they might cause the King to be accidentally injured or involved in a disaster.

Villains: While their primary antagonists are their own incompetence, they occasionally face actual villains such as a fire-breathing dragon or the notorious highwayman Black Bart.

Setting and style: The series is set in a medieval-like setting, with the dogs' appearance and their musketeer-like roles being a parody. The shorts were part of The Peter Potamus Show, which was produced by Hanna-Barbera.
