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.

Behind the scenes

• Aside from Clyde and Ring-a-Ding, the other members of the mob in Wacky Races are not named, but rather their names appear in supplementary material, such as model sheets, merchandising, etc.
• In the Japanese dub for Wacky Races, the Ant Hill Mob are referred to as the Torahige family (トラヒゲ一家, Torahige ikka), and the Little Gang (リトルギャング) in the Japanese dub for The Perils of Penelope Pitstop.

In popular culture

• In the Samurai Jack episode "Episode II: The Samurai Called Jack," Jack helps gangsters who resemble the Ant Hill Mob, which is incidental due to the series being created by Genndy Tartakovsky and airing on Cartoon Network, as did his previous series Dexter's Laboratory, half of which was also produced by Hanna-Barbera, the same studio that produced Wacky Races and The Perils of Penelope Pitstop.
• 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.
