The Ant Hill Mob are a group of gangsters from the Wacky Races animated franchise. They consist of seven short men and are led by their boss, Clyde.

In their debut series, they drive an old-fashioned automobile called the Bulletproof Bomb (designated #7). In The Perils of Penelope Pitstop, it was instead replaced with the sentient Chugga-Boom.

History

And They're Off!

The Ant Hill Mob appear in every episode, in which they drive the Bulletproof Bomb and are mostly seen on the run from the police. Aside from Clyde and Ring-a-Ding, most of the Mob usually do not speak.

Behind the scenes

• Aside from Clyde and Ring-a-Ding, the other members of the mob are not named in show, but rather their names appear in supplementary material, such as model sheets, merchandising, etc.

In popular culture

• In "Episode Three" (series 5) of the BBC Radio 4 show Dead Ringers, Phil Collins follows in the footsteps of Elton John by singing a non-Disney song set to the tune of "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)," about Dick Dastardly losing against the Ant Hill Mob.
