Came the Brawn is a 1938 Our Gang short comedy film directed by Gordon Douglas. [1] Produced by Hal Roach and released to theaters by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, it was the 165th entry in the Our Gang series. [2]
Came the Brawn marked Spanky McFarland's, Tommy "Butch" Bond's, Sidney "Woim" Kibrick's, and Darwood "Waldo" Kaye's final appearances in the Hal Roach-produced Our Gang shorts. Butch, Woim, and Waldo were recurring characters and would not be needed for the last three episodes but would all return for The Little Ranger , the first Our Gang short produced after the series' sale to MGM in mid-1938.
Spanky's contract expired after the completion of Came the Brawn, and he officially retired from the series at this time. [3] After going on a personal tour, Spanky rejoined Our Gang in the late summer of 1938, after its transfer to MGM. He would remain another four and a half years.

Our Gang is an American series of comedy short films chronicling a group of poor neighborhood children and their adventures. Created by film producer Hal Roach, also the producer of the Laurel and Hardy films, Our Gang shorts were produced from 1922 to 1944, spanning the silent film and early sound film periods of American cinema. Our Gang is noted for showing children behaving in a relatively natural way; Roach and original director Robert F. McGowan worked to film the unaffected, raw nuances apparent in regular children, rather than have them imitate adult acting styles. The series also broke new ground by portraying white and black children interacting as equals during the Jim Crow era of racial segregation in the United States.
