But let's go ahead.
All righty.
So we have 24 facts about Animaniacs.
What do you remember about Animaniacs?
They were crazy to the max.
I mean, everybody knows the theme song, I think, for them.
The first one, 24.
You can't have Animaniacs without the Warner siblings.
Yacko, Wacko, and Dot.
These guys were a great source of hilarity.
And the way they played off everyone and each other, just all around funny.
Because they did some crazy shit.
Their different personalities worked well together and they have always had many zany
shenanigans going on.
Creating pretty much anybody who had to interact with them within that universe.
Oh yeah.
I guess they were.
Annoying as fuck to everybody else.
Like the doctor where he pulled his hair out.
Like he started off with hair and then he was bald.
But did you know the original designs for these cartoon siblings was going to be different?
They were originally going to be ducks and were going to be called Yacky, Smacky, and
Wacky.
That sounds terrible.
Yes, it does.
So why change them to what they are now?
Apparently, the creators decided that there were too many ducks in the animation world
as it is.
So they decided to go for something a little different.
What Daffy and Donald?
I guess the Scrooge.
Daffy, Donald, Howard, Scrooge, and the three nephews.
I guess there was a lot of ducks.
There's a lot of ducks.
Damn.
You never really think about it.
There's a shitload of ducks.
The next, now there are a lot of jokes that managed to get past the censors, which is
actually kind of surprising that the network actually allowed them to get away with it.
Animaniacs definitely pushed the boundaries on what was appropriate for children's programming.
But apparently, there were a couple of fully recorded episodes that never ended up airing.
In these recordings, the voice actors were pretty much having a heyday and it shows.
The recordings are full of swearing and all kinds of jokes you probably wouldn't want
your kids hearing.
Apparently the actors just needed a break and did a couple of sessions where they could
say whatever they wanted.
Just the character voices?
Yeah.
Oh boy.
It reminds me of that SpongeBob episode where they can say the F word, but they actually
had to say the F word because it didn't feel right with not saying it.
So somewhere deep in the vaults of a, I guess Paramount, there's SpongeBob and Patrick just
saying as many cuss words, fully censored and no one's ever going to see the light of
day.
That's the same thing with these.
Like it just yacko, wacko and dot just saying the word fuck over and over and over.
Horrendous shit they can think of.
They're saying bitch.
Only in their voices.
It would make it way different.
All right.
Next fact.
Number, what are we down to?
22, 23.
Did you know the Animaniacs technically wasn't an original work?
The idea for it didn't just come out of thin air.
The show was actually a spinoff of another popular cartoon series going to be called
Tiny Toons Adventures.
I remember Tiny Toons was like that Looney Tunes spinoff?
They were kids?
Yeah.
That was, this was a spinoff.
They were going to be a part of that?
Yeah.
Well, it's going, it was called Tiny Toons, but they were after Tiny Toons.
So because Tiny Toons is a success, they created Animaniacs.
Okay.
After Tiny Toons did so well, Spielberg said that they needed to do another cartoon similar
to it.
The inspirations for the Warner siblings came from Plucky Duck and the show was originally
going to be just about him, but the care of the creators decided to go in a different
direction and that's how we got Yakko, Wacko and Dot.
Animaniacs itself has inspired other spinoffs such as Pinky and the Brain.
Wow, my favorite.
One's a genius and the other one's fucking inside.
Yeah.
A lot of theories was that Pinky was a genius and the Brain was actually insane.
Yeah.
That was, I've heard that theory before where they want to take over the world in one night.
Yeah, and somehow it always fails for the Brain and allegedly it was because Pinky was
always stopping.
I think so.
I remember that theory.
Oh no, no.
Maybe that was true.
What are we doing tonight, boss?
Same thing we do every night, Pinky.
You still my son, my bitch.
You just fucking file this shit.
I can't fucking stand you.
I can't stand this lab.
I can't stand anything.
All right.
The next one is 21.
I'm going to go with 21.
The next one is 21.
You can't deny that Rita, the wisecracking cat, had a very beautiful voice.
All of her shorts had her belting out some gorgeous songs, whether they were originals
or parodies of famous songs.
But there is a reason that Rita's voice was so good.
That's because she was voiced by Bernadette Peters, a talented Broadway actress.
The creators were actually going to have Ricky Lee Jones voice Rita.
But when she backed out a week before recording was supposed to start, they contacted Peters
sending her a formal letter and everything.
She responded to the invitation and resounding yes.
So Rita's voice could have sounded completely different than what it originally did.
I forgot that before going into all the details for it, I forgot that it really was a Broadway
actress that did one of the voices for the singing.
They had enough intelligence to do the singing part from somebody that could sing instead
of just going with it.
Hoping she could knock one out.
Right.
And then since they had a Broadway actress, they could make every single one of those
shorts that she had within the show.
More musical?
Yeah.
Cool.
It's actually smart.
Next one we have, it's not surprising that many inspirations for cartoons come from real
life.
In the case of the Animaniacs, a lot of the stories and shorts were inspired by things
that actually happened to the writers.
But did you know that the Warner siblings had their own real life inspirations?
The show's creator, Tom Ruger, based the Warner siblings on his own kids.
It is, I hope not.
This actually does make a lot of sense since many of the Warner siblings' antics are pretty
childish.
They mastered the art of being simultaneously hilarious and annoying that only kids can
really do.
Plus, the way that they interact with each other is definitely a sibling dynamic.
Actually he created them just because how he's seen his kids.
Geez, and he must have had a lot of inspiration.
Let's watch them just lose their minds.
Bouncing off the walls like the Warner siblings do.
Oh boy.
All right, next one we have, the Pinkie and the Brain shorts got so popular that they
became a spin-off series of their own.
Yeah, that shit was fucking gold.
Yeah.
And there's a good reason for it.
It has a great combination of witty and absurd humor as it pits a genius mouse against a
rather dim-witted insane mouse.
Brain's attempts to take over the world are hilarious and get even funnier as he's constantly
thwarted by Pinkie unwittingly.
Or the theory goes, maybe not so unwittingly.
But did you know that Brain almost had a different voice actor?
Originally, the producers wanted Patrick Stewart to be the voice for the brilliant little man.
Man, Patrick Stewart?
I would have fucking loved that.
But we don't know why this didn't happen, but Maurice LaMarche was chosen instead to
voice Brain.
He still killed it.
Yeah.
It's hard to imagine Brain's voice as anyone else's though.
I know that.
No, what am I doing tonight?
Sounding like it's Patrick Stewart, that'd be crazy.
That'd be very weird.
The British accent.
That would be very weird.
Like when you go back and actually think about it.
Yeah.
I think things worked out for him.
Is that John Luke Picard?
That would just be, it's like, I think that since he's so famous, it might not have worked
as well because you couldn't picture you.
Every time you hear it, you'd be thinking about John Luke Picard.
Yeah.
It'd be a little too close in time.
Who knows?
Or now you'd be thinking of Professor X.
I guess we'll never know.
Next one we have the catchphrase that we likely remembered the most from Animaniacs is hello
nurse.
Oh yeah.
Fucking perverse they were.
And it's many variations.
Hello nurse.
Yakko and Wacko would often say this whenever they seen Dr. Scratch and Sniff.
That was her name?
Jesus.
Scratch and Sniff.
It's like when they just reach for boobs.
Oh no.
Don't do that.
Or any other attractive female.
But did you know that the catchphrase wasn't originally written for the Warner Brothers?
The catchphrase was created initially for Buster Bunny who use to use whenever he saw
Babs Bunny in Tiny Toons.
Don't work his though.
I know.
Fuck.
Don't do that.
But they could never get it to work coming out of Buster's mouth.
Yeah I imagine not.
It always sounded a little bit weird.
So the writers scrapped the catchphrase and it was later used for the Animaniacs.
Whatever works.
Apparently yeah.
I couldn't see Buster Bunny.
And saying that to Babs Bunny.
A fellow child?
Yeah that'd be kind of awkward.
It's a good thing that they scrapped it for the Tiny Toons.
Next one we have who doesn't remember Minerva Mink?
The sedaciously sultry character that made every male character drop their jaws and howl
at the sky.
She was basically like Hello Nurse but on steroids.
She was likely Mini Boy's first crush.
And the shorts she was in often capitalized on her sensuality.
Minerva was definitely a memorable character in Animaniacs.
But Minerva actually has the least number of solo shorts out of all the characters on
Animaniacs.
She only has two.
And the reason behind this is that she was too good.
Her character was deemed too suggestive for the show's audience so she was scaled back.
The character was even redesigned so that she showed less cleavage.
Why would they mess with perfection?
And this is where everybody's anthropomorphic furry fetish came in.
I never had one probably because mine was Jessica Rabbit.
That was a woman.
Redhead.
Who's friend Roger Rabbit.
He was a rabbit banging the chicks of human women.
I never had the anthropomorphic lust.
I always had the because of Jessica Rabbit was my first one.
You weren't into all the furry shit?
I'm not bad.
I'm just drawn that way.
Alright next one we have while Steven Spielberg produced Animaniacs it was Tom Ruger who helped
create and direct the show.
He came up with the idea of the Warner siblings and he was instrumental in how the show came
to be.
But what you might not know is that this isn't his first working on cartoons.
He's also done work on a few other shows that are likely part of your childhood.
Before Animaniacs Tom Ruger also worked on He-Man, A Pup Named Scooby Doo and even Batman
the Animated Series.
A Pup Named Scooby Doo?
That's on Tubi as well.
Yeah.
It just goes to show how versatile he was and how he could work on basically any show
whoever the intended audience was.
Yeah man knew his target audience and he worked with him.
He worked within that fucking time or that frame.
Yeah I mean even with it like you can kind of tell I guess that he did work with Batman
the Animated Series too because it was very adult themed.
Oh yeah.
He tried to make instead of Minerva Mink he made Catwoman.
That or I don't know if Harley Quinn counted but didn't he create that character?
I believe so.
Or was that someone else?
Off the top of my head.
I know it wasn't in the comic books.
She was from the Animated Series.
No it was from the Animated Series but I can't remember who like actually created her.
It was a good character.
Mr. J.
The character from the Animated Series can never be replicated though.
They tried.
With Margaret Robbie.
They got him.
They got all of him.
It's not bad but.
It's so good though.
But you're also waiting for the soft slides.
I'm not into clowns but you know.
You want to make her honk?
I'll never see that.
Alrighty, next one, another memorable aspect of Animaniacs was the music.
Whether they were parodying popular songs and musicals or coming up with their own original
works.
This show was steeped in music and having a lot of fun with it.
The score itself was done incredibly well fitting the tone of the show in the old style
cartoon.
Steven Spielberg the producer was the one to thank for the music.
Spielberg insisted that each episode feature at least one original orchestral score.
That meant that they had to have a full time orchestra playing and recording music for
these episodes in the studio.
Jesus, one a week?
Yeah.
Aren't you demanding Steven Spielberg?
Why don't you take it down on just a kids show?
I know.
Next one, fans may remember that Dot's name is actually short for a much longer name.
Do you know the name though?
Her real name is Princess Angelica Cantessa Luisa Francesca Banana Fana Bobeska the third.
Oh yeah, yeah I remember that part.
Yeah, that's a long ass fucking name.
How did this come about?
Well, it actually took inspiration from another plucky female character.
Producer writer Sherry Stone came up with Dot's full name and said that it was inspired
by Pippi Longstocking.
This girl also had a very long name which was Pippa Lotta Delicatessa Window Shade Markle
Mint Ephraim's daughter Longstocking.
Window Shade?
Okay.
Window Shade.
All right.
Just threw that one in there huh?
It's like just a random word.
Yeah, I like to see who would notice.
It doesn't really make any sense but again neither does half of the show most of the
time.
Next one we have Mindy and Buttons were a great segment added to Animaniacs with the
adorable baby Mindy getting into incredibly dangerous situations and her loyal dog Buttons
protecting her from danger.
Often to its own detriment.
That dog put in some work trying to keep that baby alive.
It was both cute and really funny making great use of slapstick humor but what you may not
know is that these two almost didn't make it into the show.
It actually again is thanks to Steven Spielberg's kids that the two got put into the show.
Spielberg was thinking about cutting Mindy and Buttons but when his kids saw the drawings
for them they loved them so he added it in.
They were lucky.
Apparently that made Spielberg's change his mind about taking the characters out so the
whole reason everybody's favorite girl and dog do or even in the show is due to the kids
of the producer.
Cool.
You know they're looking back at that like hey we got that in there for everybody.
Alright next one we have Remember the Wheel of Morality?
Yeah.
Where the Warner siblings try to decide what the moral of the episode was?
Oh yeah.
It was a great way to include more witty humor and have fun with some of the popular quotes
and morals plus we get more entertaining banter between the Warner siblings.
But what was the purpose of the Wheel of Morality segment?
Apparently it was just to fill time.
Not all of the shorts for the episodes always stick up the right amount of time.
Sometimes they had a few minutes left over after each segment which wasn't enough for
the other short but they still had to fill in the gap.
That's where the Wheel of Morality comes in.
The repetitive nature of the segment meant they could reuse animation cheaply so it was
an easy way to fill up the time and still be entertaining.
So they have the dialogue they don't have to make any more cartoons.
Exactly.
Smart.
I remember seeing that all the time at the end.
Yeah I was wondering like that shit's done a lot but I'm like yeah that's normal.
Where as the Wheel of Morality goes round and round and it would always be something
fucking crazy.
Next one we have there are quite a few references in Animaniacs between all the celebrity cameos
and the parodies nothing was safe.
In fact it got to the point that it was considered a compliment and a badge of honor if Animaniacs
made a parody of you.
But the show also snuck in some subtler references.
One of these was reference to Mystery Science Theater 3000.
The popular TV show that made fun of terrible sci-fi movies.
In the episode Potty Emergency the Warner siblings are at the movie theater watching
a sci-fi movie.
If you look closely you can see the characters of Mystery Science Theater 3000 MST 3K show
up in the movie.
It all goes to show that the detail that they put into each episode.
So like they even made little parodies in there that you never even paid attention to.
That we would never reference to later.
Exactly.
Next one.
It's no secret that Animaniacs is full of jokes and would likely sail over kids heads.
But make an adult laugh at the same time.
Despite the work of the network censors a lot of humor snuck its way into the show.
What was also funny was after a particularly irrelevant joke happened.
Yakko would often say good night everybody.
As if expecting to be taken off the air.
But despite the leniency the writers had there was one joke that Steven Spielberg himself
outlawed.
Fat jokes.
Couldn't make any fat jokes.
Apparently Spielberg saw that positive body image was very important.
And a joke about this would be inappropriate.
Of all fucking things that they made him try to have.
That's what he thought I guess you know.
I guess he respected the decision.
Yes but the fat jokes are the funny ones.
As a fat person I take credit.
I love fat jokes they're funny.
As myself and also a beached whale I also enjoy the fat jokes.
Like they don't bother me.
Like as a fat person fat jokes do not bother me.
It's funny because I know like if I really maybe it's the thing like if you know that
you can put in an effort and lose the weight.
Yeah maybe that's why.
And most people can.
Like what was it you said?
I want a bacon biscuit.
Got the latest.
Like there's very few people that again unpopular opinion but most people can lose weight if
they try.
So yeah if you have like you have to like it is truly a fucking daunting task.
You know what one time I did lose weight I went from like 240 to 160 was anytime I had
a set plan of meals.
I eat morning, lunch and then night.
That's it.
Nothing in between.
And I had one phrase that I said to myself that doesn't work anymore.
But I would tell myself ride the wave.
Usually I would ride the wave of like any feeling of wanting to eat some junk food,
some soda, anything.
Just ride that feeling out and like a fucking ocean the wave will eventually ebb down back
into normal.
Yes.
Oh you know flat.
So if you can ride the wave of that fucking craving it'll go away.
Yes and it usually does.
And to me I think there's only a few instances like where there's you know how every fat
person they always say I have a thyroid problem.
Not everybody does.
I'm sorry but you do.
I don't know if every fat person says that.
Most of the people that I know that are fat yeah.
I got a thyroid problem.
It's like no you have an eating problem.
These are the same people that have like what is it the hobbits how they have second breakfast.
These motherfuckers.
Fourth and fifth breakfast.
What about fifth breakfast and second lunch?
I don't know like I've always enjoyed it.
Well me being like a more enjoyment like I'm a person I'm a connoisseur of the female
form so I don't mind a nice big heavy set woman.
I don't mind a 90 pound woman.
No my whole thing is you can like whatever you want and you can be whatever you want
to be but don't get mad if you get made fun of.
All that cushion though.
So nice.
I don't need a Tempur-Pedic.
I do.
It's memory foam it contorts to your body.
Is it like a?
I'm very open to all female body types and ages.
You can be 92 years old.
You know who was a surprise was she's 76 is Susan Sarandon and she can get all the business
to this day.
I can't remember the comedian's name now.
I'm sure you've seen it before where he talks about how he set up his friend's bachelor
party and had that one big girl that wrestled him.
Yeah I remember where he said he ran at her and then she fought she was like she was ready
because she used to apparently she fights him all the time so she beat the she was like
six two wasn't she.
Yeah she hit him with her titties and fucking knocked him the foot.
I remember that.
Titty bombs.
I remember he ran full force at her and he ran into her and it stopped and he just stopped
and got thrown back out across the floor.
That's the kind of thing that I don't need.
All right moving on though number nine we have remember the famous song Yakko's World
where Yakko sang all the countries of the world.
It was catchy and educational.
It was.
And then Rob Paulson Yakko's voice actor still has a song memorized and will sometimes sing
at a convention.
Yeah.
I remember seeing those too.
He actually will do that and he changed the countries that don't exist no more into the
ones that do.
That's cool.
So he rechanged the words to where it's completely accurate still.
Nice.
He should probably like drop another like a drop a TikTok.
He did.
With the animation.
He did.
He did the whole thing.
Nice.
I think it was for the new Animaniacs that came back out.
And they have the one with like with Donald Glover where he's like and then he gets shot
like this is America.
This is my area.
I got the strap.
The song has become one of the most popular songs in Animaniacs.
Yeah.
Where did it come from?
Apparently the guy who wrote the song wasn't even working on Animaniacs at the time.
Randy Rogel was working on Batman the Animated Series when he wrote the song.
The story goes that he was helping out his son with his geography homework when he realized
that he could make a song out of all the countries.
He wrote it up.
He somehow figured out all the countries can be made into one song.
Yeah.
That's a lot of countries.
Some of them don't even rhyme sometimes.
Yeah.
He then gave it over to the writers of Animaniacs since he figured they could use it.
They eventually brought him onto the staff as a writer too after that.
Nice.
Because that's a long ass song too.
Didn't they like that was I don't know if it was just that one episode but I feel like
they added it to almost a lot of the episodes.
Well they had that though they had the one where Wacko did the state capitals in states.
Yeah.
I feel like they just like either put it at the end of the episode or in between or something
or was it just one episode that had those specific.
I think it was just one episode.
Because I saw that shit all the time.
It was on rerun.
Jesus.
That was like one of the episodes that always showed up.
Next one we have number eight.
The part of Wacko was actually Jess Harrell's first big step into voice acting.
You wouldn't have thought that the way he nailed the part.
But another thing you may not know is that Jess Harrell is also with a lead vocalist
in a rock group called Rock Sugar.
Like nobody would have would have really expected that.
Wacko was voiced by a rock star.
Metalocalypse?
No.
No I'm just saying that's that's actually a cartoon.
Yeah.
So basically Wacko.
Ice lips in and out of diabetic coma.
Number seven.
The actors behind the three Warner siblings Rob Paulson, Jess Harrell and Tress McNeil
definitely had a blast doing the roles.
But did you know that the actors have voiced many other cartoon characters as well?
They've become quite the voice acting legends at this point.
Paulson who voices Yakko was also he voiced Dr. Scrat and Sniff and Pinky.
He also voiced Raphael from TMNT and countless voices on other cartoons.
McNeil the voice of Dot was also the voice of Babs Bunny from Tiny Toons.
Principal Skinner's mother from The Simpsons and a whole bunch more.
Jess Harrell was actually a newcomer to the voice acting world whenever he voiced Wacko.
But since then he has done Ironside from Transformers and Cedric from Sofia the first.
So he's done a few others.
They've been getting down on the voice acting business.
Yeah they've done a lot of different things.
Number six.
You can't really imagine the Animaniacs without the three crazy Warner siblings.
They also they always introduced themselves as Yakko, Wacko and our sister Dot.
And it seems that the three the three was the magic number for the siblings.
But there was actually going to be a fourth Warner sibling.
The creators toyed around with the idea of beginning but ultimately decided to go with
just the three.
The idea was brought about later in one of the Animaniacs movies that never got made.
The writers had an idea that they had a fourth sibling named Lacko.
He would prove himself to be so useless that the other Warner siblings would essentially
fire him.
That's a funny kind of concept but they never went through with it.
So it's going to be the three and it's like he's so horrible that they fire him out of
the three.
So we're related.
I don't understand.
Exactly.
Last, let's see number five.
Wacko is often the favorite Warner sibling for many fans.
He's endearing, strange and incredibly funny.
His voice is also quite contrast to his name since he is a pretty mellow tone.
But apparently when it came to his voice, the casting director had a really hard time
trying to find one that fit.
Many of the auditions consisted of actors making their craziest voice since the character's
name was Wacko.
None of these voices worked for Wacko as they were coming up empty basically.
But when Jess Harnel was brought on, he won the director over with his impersonation of
the Beatles as they eventually went with a modified version of Ringo Starr's impression
for the voice of Wacko.
Huh, okay.
That's why he's got that kind of like slow voice, even though he's crazy.
So if you think of a speech pattern, sounds familiar.
That's probably why he sounds like one of the Beatles.
Like Ringo Starr.
Pretty much.
Yes.
Uh, next one we have, it's no secret that animaniacs attracted not only kids, but a
lot of adults as well.
Uh, there was a, this was kind of a weird thing for cartoons at the time.
Most cartoons were generally just marketed towards kids as an excuse to push toys.
But a lot of that changed with cartoons like animaniacs.
In fact, its adult fan base was a bit larger than what you would think.
Back in 1995, over one fifth of the animaniacs viewers were 25 and older.
Damn, that's a lot.
It's totally different than like now that's normal.
But back then, not so much.
So when Harry Potter first came out, then all of a sudden all the adults were trying
to read it and it was so embarrassing for them that they actually made with, they made
it like a blank hardcover copy.
I remember that.
Yeah.
Cause they didn't want to be spotted reading Harry Potter.
So a good portion of the viewers were actually adults who were really enjoying the show.
Uh, basically it was because it had great animation, witty banter, and just enough jokes
to make you snicker while your kids look at you in confusion.
Really like what the fuck is so funny?
You'll get it when you're older.
Number two, ever wonder why the animation seems to age so well in animaniacs, especially
compared to other nineties cartoons?
Well, the quality of the animation for the show had a much higher production value than
standard TV shows.
The show also had a much higher cell count than other TV shows.
Basically those behind the show went above and beyond to make the cartoon as high of
quality as possible in the animation itself.
It definitely shows you'll notice that the animation is very smooth and the movements
of the characters are incredibly fluid.
You can also see that the characters don't just stand still and speak, but move around
as well.
Animaniacs pretty much raised the bar quality for TV animation of the time.
Nice.
Something that most people don't think of.
But that's kind of like a lot of them were kind of hold.
I don't know if they were remastered, but like Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes.
Yeah, they remastered a lot of them.
I can remind them.
Yeah.
I think that was one of the huge things that stood out for animaniacs is that they, instead
of the characters, like even now, like, um, there's some like, uh, my family guy where
they're just standing and talking.
It's just the, the, the lip flaps basically.
That's it.
They even do it at like an actual anime now where there's like the, you can tell the low
budget ones because it'll have them just standing there talking and not moving at all.
Like they gotta save money somehow.
And that's a way to do it.
Apparently they spared no, I know one piece is fucking dipping into the bank.
Man, I actually seen the last, like, I don't, I haven't watched the show, but I seen those
two episodes.
These episodes are going way too hard.
Give me a migraine.
Just watching this.
Oh, you, what I told you about the whole thing.
Yeah.
Hard to follow.
Like I get the concept that it's more of a cartoonish character, like where he becomes
almost kind of like Looney Tunes.
He finally, yeah.
He reached his peak, which is fucking tuned for everything.
Makes him, it reminded me of Yu-Gi-Oh!
The tune characters.
The tune force.
Yeah.
That's exactly what it is.
Exact, perfect.
But the camera just has to stay set.
That's horrible.
Horrible.
And I only watched 15 minutes of the highlight.
It's like, oh.
That's basically the whole fight.
Like the first like 15 minutes of them talking.
Like the, the, the powers.
I don't know why people were getting mad about that really.
Cause I do get the point of like, uh, he's more of a cartoon.
Yeah.
Like, tuned for.
He's got the fucking stretch abilities.
He's been doing goofy shit.
His whole fucking career.
Yeah.
So him becoming like the epitome of pure cartoon-esque character and laughing the entire fucking time.
He was losing his shit.
All right.
Last one.
Uh, we do love Yaku, Wacko and Dodd and we adore their crazy antics and one, uh, witty
one-liners, but, uh, do we actually know what species these kids are?
The short answer is not really the long answer kind of, but not really.
The creators of the show designed the civilians to look like the cartoon characters from the
1920s, uh, such as Oswald, the lucky rabbit and Mickey Mouse.
This explains their slightly thinner designs with long ears.
The show also didn't want them to look too much like Mickey Mouse.
So they rounded out their features a bit more, giving them a more distinctive look.
As a result, uh, they don't really have a specific species, what they look like.
Damn.
It's pretty much like, like, uh, Vin Diesel.
Yeah.
Nobody really knows what he is.
Kind of everything.
Apparently bigger.
A little bit.
Yeah.
He just kind of wants of everything, you know, or the rock.
You don't really know what he is.
You know what he is, but you don't know what he is.
He got, he got a good mixed apparently.
Yeah.
It's weird.
Like, uh, it's always interesting seeing people like from different, uh, hereditary
just when they come together and have a kid, they kids just like, man, you just sure came
out.
I'm not trying to turn out a fuck about that.
I've seen this one.
I know everyone has beautiful babies.
No.
Some of them look like garbage.
That's one ugly ass baby, ma'am.
I'm sorry to tell you.
I don't want to be an asshole, but I can't remember.
Uh, damn it.
There's a YouTube channel where he's a Japanese guy, but he goes up to people that live in
Japan that look different than normal Japanese people.
He went up to this one dude.
It's like, Oh my God, what the fuck happened to you?
He has a, he has a, he has a, he has a, he has a, he has a, he has a, he has a, he has
a, he, he has a Mother's Memoir on like, It was odd looking.
It was just I've never seen somebody with the hairstyle.
It's hard to describe.
It wasn't braids.
It's kind of like the weekend weekend.
Huh?
You know, the crazy weird fucking hair.
He usually has said that was just a regular like kind of an Afro, like a really low and
not the Afro and Afro.
I wouldn't say Afro.
This dude, he specifically chose to have these like dreadlocks on the side like Joe Dirt.
I just came onto my head.
Well, it was on the back and then it wasn't a fro on top because everybody knows what
a fro looks like or even like it just a short fro.
Yeah, this is like nappy, nappy, nappy fro.
Bro, what the fuck happened to you?
But the guy went up to me the whole.
That's mean.
He came around the corner of the store.
Oh, are you?
You ask these people questions.
It was hilarious though, the expression that he had because he's never seen somebody that
looked like that.
Maybe just playing up for the camera, probably.
No, because he went up to everybody else normal.
And he went up to other black people that were in Japan that, you know, they speak Japanese
fluently and everything like that because they've lived in Japan their whole lives or
their family lived there or whatever.
And he is asking him kind of like, how do people treat you?
Do they treat you like an American?
Do they treat you, you know, like different ways or whatever?
But just that one dude specifically, that's kind of like that gas almost that you have
a sailor moon.
That was a real recognition of glory from the old days.
Oh my God, that sailor moon.
Slay Queen.
The first heroin.
Yeah.
What about sailor Mercury in Venus?
And that bitch is it's all about the moon or nothing.
You just want to see that.
But that's all I got for Animaniacs today and everything and a little bit of information.
Hopefully it's stuff that you didn't already know.
Yeah.
That you entertain yourself with on this long, cruel existence we call life.
And think it exists again, too, because they created more episodes of Animaniacs, I believe
on Hulu.
Oh, look that up.
Yeah.
They restarted it again.
Do I still have Hulu?
I did quite a stream purge recently.
Well, everybody went out to did you see that?
Yeah.
Fucking bullshit.
Disney Plus is going up like 30 percent.
Netflix is going to be I don't know if they're going to be better.
I'm already giving them 20 dollars.
Hulu is going to be going up to take it.
Yeah.
Because since Disney owns Hulu.
So you get you get fucked on both ends like a goddang spit rust.
Yeah.
Damn.
Yeah.
Disney doesn't have enough content.
No, they don't.
And they fucking keep you in the end and they drop a bunch of stuff.
Yeah.
Like like if you couldn't handle being a streaming service, you shouldn't have done it.
Right.
But they don't hear cost cutting.
They took off a bunch of like popular movies and stuff like that.
So unbelievable.
I mean, I had it and I cut it off as soon as they added Guardians of the Galaxy three
and I got to see that and I'm done.
I kept it for two months, I think.
And I owe them the price of a film ticket.
If you were to go.
Yeah.
So it's like it is what it is.
Film tickets are cheap and to man name, but then they sure fuck you on the food.
Yes, they do.
I don't know where they get this food or why they marked up so high.
I will never understand movie theater economics because that's the only way they make their
money.
It's like this movie is like 750.
Awesome.
You want a bottle of water?
Nineteen forty seven, please.
I'm like, it's almost Disneyland prices.
It's like it is just the most rich.
I'll rant about it later.
This will be another rant.
Yeah.
But anything else that before we head out?
No, I was about to say something truly.
All right.
Well, listen to Noe's rant this Monday and we will see you guys on the next one.
