Not so subtle joke - animaniacs

[0truth0]

If the voice actors stressed "FING-er prints" instead of stressing both "FING-er PRINCE", then the double-entendre would not have been heard. We stress words when they're names, but not when they're part of a term.

Obviously the voice actors, or whoever directed them, didn't think stresses on words were an important.

[xservintage]

Well, in his defense, he did say "Dust for prints", not "Dust for fingerprints".

(sees her looking at Prince and saying "I don't think so")

OH GOD, NO!

[tricdaddy316]

I think the pizza joke Wakko makes is even more ingenious " I want 42 pizza 6 without crusts". Get it?

[bfdhvcnvvbjdn]

42 pizzas = The munchies

[goldeyes1235]

XDDDDD OH MY GOD!

[TheBaroness65]

What season is that episode on?

[sinfulldreamer]

The look Prince gives Dot sells the whole joke.

[xLoliXKittyx]

i don't get it...

[ReihaDollika]

@xLoliXKittyx It's a double-entendre. "Fingerprints" and "finger prince" sound similar. The latter is rather inappropriate for a kids' show, yet the "prince" actually looks at Dot like he wants her to do it.

[awexsome2034]

Looks like the censors only skimmed the script that day.

[shadowpiratemonkey7]

i knew this show was awesome o_o 

[ZhangtheGreat]

These were the kinds of things that slipped under the censors back then =P

[Mkdude27]

Goodnight, everybody!

[Smasher170]

@partygirl429 I'm going to assume you're not trolling. She hears "Finger Prince" as in finger his orifice (asshole)

[ajrageagainA2K]

I love Chris Antista

[sidwerd1hater]

Cracked sent me here.

[fignewton0000]

...how would little kids watching that get the joke?

i get it now, and its hilarious, but back then i was laughing because it was talking animals

[patu8010]

I'm very curious to know how the dialog goes in the many dubs. :D

[Zuyuri]

O.O This show had no problems saying "Fuck you" to the censors

[Codyray1992]

@Zuyuri Aye, and that's part of the reason we love it. X3

[priceoffame]

Oh my god! That is pretty horrifying.  Love this show!

[thepartygirls429]

@rootbeer543 .______. still don't get it :(

[thepartygirls429]

Ummmmmmmmm I don't really get it, can someone explain y that's funny?

[rootbeer543]

@thepartygirls429 Its like he's telling her to "finger Prince". She then looks at him and says "I don't think so".

[SonamyOcean]

OMG eww xD

[DaveGoodeNC]

"No, finger prince" "I don't think so". Haha gotta love cartoons, lol!

[lgaitan]

I think you can twist just about anything the way you want it to sound. If that is your level of humor. It doesn't happen to be everyones.

[spairpartsdealer]

"No, no, no, FINGER Prince."

"I don't think so."

*video ends*

Realization in 3...2...1... OOOOOOOOH MAH JEEZ.

[PaulDevlin01]

HOLY JESUS! MY childhood just went out the window with prince

[OrionAlexander1]

I get it now............And I almost wish I didn't hahahaha

[bledevik]

Always thought this show sucked. Pinky and the Brain cameos were the only redeeming factor.

[jtown1bb]

Prince is down for some finger action.

[Kniefeey]

don't get it

[crusaderpat]

@Kniefeey "I've go prince" "no no no, finger prints(Prince)" smirk "I don't think so"

[2kano113]

@Kniefeey FINGER Prince.

[darkguardian1314]

They were ripping the Marx Brothers act by constantly tossing jokes and punchlines every second. This is a kids show with adult humor. How did they get this past the censors is amazing. 

[Narateful2]

how did that even get past censors?

[ayuinu]

LOL

[gingerisevil02]

Wow

[ElectricMayhem87]

I'll be honest. I wasn't really a fan of this show as a kid, but seeing it when I'm older makes me appreciate it a lot more.

[RickLowerboy84]

@ElectricMayhem87

Especially compared to crap shows like Spongebob that kids watch these days. At least Animaniacs had them leaning the countries of the world.

[djziggurat]

@RickLowerboy84

Ill admit most cartoons suck now, but I dont think spongebob counts as these days, it's been on for like 12 years now. It's actually kind of funny, but nowhere near animaniacs or freakazoid level.

[XXXadamarmstrongXXX]

finger prince! haaaaaaaaa

[resevil2396]

@XXXadamarmstrongXXX haha, wow I was wondering what mad this so bad!

[pullom19]

This just cracks me the f%$k up every time I see it....

[nyansnoopy]

Oh...my...

[xoOnatalieOox]

i don't get the pizza thing...

[transformersloverjon]

YES YES OHHHH YES!!!!!!

[papamose]

I love the Animaniacs

[PaulFesh]

wow, didnt get that one when i was a kid....

[MarkkelMania266]

lol i couldnt stop laughing

[juliedrill]

HOLY CRAP, Wakko's wearing pants!

[sfakasswannabe]

That's just wrong..

[BigMrBubbely]

LMFAO, I JUST GOT IT

[Jojoateyt]

in which part is the joke discussed?

[JuberLOL]

@Jojoateyt I think it's supposed to be "finger prints" as in "finger prince" and prince's face is supposed to be him getting excited for his possible fingering.

I think it's a stretch.

[Jojoateyt]

@JuberLOL thanks, im an idiot

[pwnegetime]

i wish all cartoons were like this

[TheSlinkyGuyShow]

Wait, how can Dot finger Prince anyway?

He doesn't even have a cunt.

[etowngftddummy]

@TheSlinkyGuyShow Stick a finger up his butt.

[TheSlinkyGuyShow]

@etowngftddummy Well that's just gay.

[ReverendNillerz]

OH! *FINGER* Prince! Like.. a VERB!

[ReverendNillerz]

I don't get it..?

[therealcritic28]

@UnknownParticles Animaniacs has made a lot worse jokes than this lol

[DGProduction16]

@therealcritic28 cool story bro

[therealcritic28]

@DGProduction16

. . . well, that was pointless and random.

[slicydicer]

holy shit I get it now after so many years

[GheorgheLazarof]

@UnknownParticles Click the link in the description, your highness.

[pianist150]

@UnknownParticles No its an adult joke. Thats why she says "I don't think so" as in "will you finger prince?" "I don't think so". Otherwise she would've said something more like, "there weren't any of those"

[VoidDragon77]

@UnknownParticles Yeah... No. This was clearly intentional. "I don't think so."

And it's not like it's the only time the Animaniacs used (Often more subtle, sometimes not) adult humor.

[TheSlinkyGuyShow]

@UnknownParticles Not exactly a professional animator if you don't know shit about animation.

[misanthropiclusion]

@UnknownParticles seems like you got owned mister "professional animator"

guess you work on shit considering your "trust me" was completely obliterated by people that actually WORKED on the show

[OtakuAmerika]

D: D: D: oh my god...

[Darialan]

When I first saw this on tv years ago, cracked, because i couldn't believe they let that joke fly.

[babyfaceds]

OOOOOOOOOOH finger prince

[katinka0921]

xD This. is. awesome.

[LadyCadbury]

I got it when I first seen it way back when.

[MelkhorX]

Holy.....

[OblivionEssence]

Actually...that was pretty subtle...

[NinjaJesus15]

ooooooooooh i get it now

[KillerVulcan]

lol42

[raydalmonster]

I don't get the pizza joke. But finger prince oh my god XD

[TheTrueDiablix]

lol omg..epic

[kakarrot777]

i'm sorry but i don't get the joke. this might sound stupid but what to the warners mean by the joke finger prince?

[hayschmexy]

*trollface

"I don't think so"

*facepalm

prince-"ah c'mon"

[Laoruperteen18]

i had to close my eyes to figure this joke out, even as an adult 10 years later

[LordVader89]

Err I don't think that was intentional. You guys are looking too much into it.

[TheAcidHairball]

@LordVader89 It only makes sense when the girl looks at prince and then shakes her head saying, "I don't think so".

[CeXanne]

Yeah I definately didnt get that the first time I watched it as a kid! :P

[carllito12]

Why is this so controversial?

[sansdeity420]

@carllito12 a cartoon cat on a children's television show asked a female cartoon cat to put her finger into singer Prince's asshole.

[carllito12]

@sansdeity420 Oh i get it now..........O_o

[fightingdreamers77]

@sansdeity420 There dogs...NOT CATS! * explodes into a mini mushroom cloud*

[JohnAdamZiolkowski]

@sansdeity420 ... were they cats?

[CthulhuianBunny]

Aaaah... I miss when shows could get away with jokes like this.

[SammEater]

What I love about this cartoon is that gets even more funny when you get old enough to understand some jokes. :p

[bmsman816]

I don't get it can someone explain the joke for me please?

[makinote9]

@bmsman816 Finger Prince! Do it! finger him now!

[MADDOG6400]

OOOHHHHHH!!! I GET IT!! 42 pizzas is too much for them to eat and there's no place that does no crust!

I got it now!

[ForsakenCoolmane]

can somone tell me the joke i thnk i dont get it

[edtri19]

@ForsakenCoolmane .....idiot

[ForsakenCoolmane]

@edtri19 i got it now.. my sister told me its a stupid joke for only dirty minds

[edtri19]

@ForsakenCoolmane Or the mentally challenged. You clearly have never had a sexual experience of any kind.

[WREQUIEM]

@edtri19 fingering doesnt involve all sexual experiences just sayin

[edtri19]

@WREQUIEM I didn't say that, i said its a sexual experience, which it is.

[WREQUIEM]

@edtri19 nope

[kingogames22]

OH damn! I just got it!

[anangrygoldfish]

"It could be a long night. Better order some vegetables."

[TheKungFuProductions]

Classic.

[KrizpyKilla]

who else came from memebase?

[Sly922]

When I was a kid i didn't get the joke now that im older I find it hilarious xD

[matthijs122]

Sometimes I weep for humanity, I literally cry. The vast majority is extremely uneducated and if we have to advance as a species we simply need more intelligent people thus letting us reach greater meaning and maybe discover the real secrets that lie so deep untouched beneath our feet.

And as far as this movie excerpt goes, real inappropiate material for kids but doesn't harm them, stated the obvious, they do not understand.

[ssgcowern]

i don't get it

unless the show was in the 90's

[mimikrysia2]

@ssgcowern "Finger Prince"

[DrNazus]

@ClearPee The joke is that it sounds like he's telling her to finger him. It is a sexual activity.

[w00tkid]

Genuine childhood memories brought me here.

[Bigcal1292]

I don't get it...

[CallyBoh]

@Bigcal1292 FINGER PRINCE

[MrIrresLicht]

@Bigcal1292 Prince is a singer and his name sounds like 'Prints' , so 'Fingerprints' sounds like 'finger Prince' which would be slightly disturbing. ALSO I AM FROM MEMEBASE!

[Bigcal1292]

@MrIrresLicht I kept on reading the top comment until I got it.

[MrIrresLicht]

@Bigcal1292 Haha, if you're foreigner you won't get it so fast...or if you're 12 xD

[matthijs122]

@Bigcal1292 You make my glandula lacrimalis active. And sadly, with you so many others.

[Bigcal1292]

@matthijs122 I'm sorry that I made you cry but I finally got the joke.

[TheWaluigiman1]

My Childhood was better then your. * points to ten year old*

[TheLPGDfan]

Oh dear that is clever

[mcmbxox]

it was suppose to stay at 42 dislikes!!! now it's 43 dislikes.... Jerk

[MrColter51]

O.O

[rocketshiplove]

42 guys. Forty freaking two pizzas. 42

[hslicee813]

i was pleasently surprised to see this on memebase!

this show was so kickass

[Jimmy4CHaN]

42 dislikes 42 pizzas. Please guys don't add on another! This is fun!

[jiob8]

@Jimmy4CHaN Not like I would... >:3

[pianocrazy90]

I'm guessing all 42 dislikers got those pizzas....

[madude04]

Memebase.

[ahighschooldropout]

i love how she throws him out the port window, where he presumably drowns

[PsychoticGeek23]

Omg!!! XD

[TheWarWasp]

Man, I remember this show... I didn't realize it as a kid, but they had ballz...

[LuvMehSuga]

Lmao!!

[serenitychaos2000]

Aside from fingering Price...what the hell was he using to pay the piano?? O.o he feet were on the ground.....

[TenSecondsFlat10]

So much win.

[RinniAgdhi]

Buzz lightyear is the name of a model of vibrator. Not the only joke we see.

[jiob8]

@ClearPee FINGER PRINCE

FINGER PRINCE

FINGER PRINCE

FINGER PRINCE

FINGER PRINCE

KEEP LOOKING AT IT UNTIL YOU GET IT

[Joeybsmooth]

@jiob8

I am a goof ball .. I did not get it until now .

[gagejoseph91]

@jiob8 know whats sad? this (fuckin awesome) show was canceled because the young crowd it was aimed at didnt get the pop-culture references...but now, people are just too plain dumb to get the references, and i guarantee you that many of these half-wits are NOT 10 years old. thats right, folks. teens 16+ who are old enough to get these jokes are still too dumb to catch on. i blame cartoons...(<---yes, its contradictory humor, you pea-brained fucktards)

[jiob8]

@gagejoseph91 agreed XD

[jiob8]

@ClearPee "No, no, no, FINGER PRINTS" (finger Prince)

[jiob8]

@ClearPee "I found Prince!"

"No, no, no, FINGER prints!" (FINGER PRINCE)

"*Looks at Prince* I don't think so".

[iamverynicesir]

@ClearPee U CANT ORDER A PIZZA WITHOUT CRUST

[jiob8]

Memebase.

[Pigboy501]

i lol'd at the "well then do you have any requests?"

[MultiMandarijn]

Memebase.

[blackice1029]

@MultiMandarijn 2008 lol

[1234PIE43215]

@MultiMandarijn I found out about this before I went on Memebase. But I got redirected from Memebase, just now.

[Karnezar]

i didn't catch any other jokes besides finger prince.

[EntishGaming]

'finger prince!'

*looks at prince*

'I don't think so.'

[AngelSGLP]

I got it... Weeeeeeiiiiiird xD

[Guilmonhero]

Actually it was subtle... if you're a kid and/or don't have a dirty mind.

[pkthunder3]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAHA I JUST GOT THAT JOKE!!!! THAT IS SO SICK!! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­A!!!

[golzog1]

Prince WOULD smile at that

[DarkEmergence]

Goodnight, everybody!

[highestpower999]

... I still don't get this joke. He say's "Finger Prince". The first thing i think of when someone say's "Finger" is something you do to girls.. how is Dot suppose to do that to a guy?

Someone please explain!!!

[TheScaryClownSays]

@highestpower999 ...butt seriously, folks!

[Tinkerbellhardchic24]

@highestpower999 You puts the finger in the anus its not rocket science

[drblackfeet1]

@highestpower999 they're talking bout the butt hole

[tac62184]

@highestpower999 To quote the great film "Christmas Vacation," "bend over and I'll show you"

[billywish]

Finger Prince!... I dont think so!!! hahahahahaha

[TheAlchemist7771]

@KlayyJayy yeah, I know.

so no finger prints...I was like,

Childhood ruined.
