There’s no way they could remake that show today.
It was way too subtle with its double entendres and pad puns
Also:
Aw man - don’t play with my emotions…
I still have two vintage shirts I wear.
Okay, we’re past the dark and gritty reboot stage. Are we past the irreverently random stage that birthed the new Powerpuff Girls and Teen Titans GO? I’m afraid of what we’ll get.
I am 100% for more Animaniacs if given to the proper creative team, and there’s a few showrunners out there for existing animated shows that could easily run with a reboot. Also i would love Freakazoid to come back too. I’d kind of like to see The Critic to come back too but i have a hunch that the show’s humor would get lost among Family Guy and similar shows.
Did he mispronounce Lesotho? I think he did, but I listened to the whole song nine times and I’m not sure.
Anybody want to check? I’m not sure of the minute mark, just enjoy the whole song a few times.
“Hellllloooooooo, NURSE!”
I am wearily optimistic.
Sorry, but I strongly disagree…
Slappy: Hey, Skippy. What’s all this stuff about Trump I keep seeing on TV? He’s got some new show?
Skippy: He’s president now, aunt Slappy.
Slappy: That’s not funny, Skippy. Now seriously…
He left out South Africa
Another WB show I miss is “Histeria”. It was freaking hilarious. I was especially fond of their constant portrayal of Genghis Kahn with a John Wayne accent, a la “The Conqueror” xD .

Like “Animaniacs”, no, it wasn’t all singing, but clips are scarce ^^’ . It was more directly educational than “Animaniacs” but was often damn funny, nonetheless. Their take on history was also surprisingly balanced for an American show.
Beethoven: I AM A PIANIST!
Dot: Hey, you can’t say that on TV!
Subtlest show ever made.
Wait.
I didn’t just imagine Histeria after eating that bad sushi?
Srsly these shows were great. I was a grown-up, working or going to grade school, so there’s not as much nostalgia factor, but they were enjoyable by adults.
Yakko: Goodnight, folks!
Young Justice or nothing.
Maybe I’m being too stuffy. Yakko would take me down a peg for that.
