An apparent reference to early 20th century cartoon character Barney Google, who also inspired the 1923 song "Barney Google (with the Goo-Goo-Googly Eyes)". Used in an intertitle halfway into the 1928 silent screwball comedy "The Patsy", when Patricia 'the patsy' (played by Marion Davies), playing crazy, shoos away her mother so she can be alone with her sister's boyfriend.
