Let the Anvils Ring- Animaniacs

[SuperGirlyMusic]

I'm the cousin to the sister

Of the son's neice's brother

Of the uncle's daughter's father

Of the nephew'a sister's mother

And my grandpa's only cousin

Was the King's daughter's sibling

He could have just said he was related to the King but if he didn't confuse us he wouldn't be Yakko

[AJCMS14]

I just realized that the only part of that long-winded explanation about how Yakko is related to royalty that's relevant is the last part, which basically says that his great-grandfather was the king. He could have just said that, but he's Yakko so he had to confuse us all :)

[jennybean1995]

until this day i always thought anvils originated in cartoons specifically for crushing people XD i like that use better XD

[thehoeslaper]

~aaaaaannnnnvviiiilllaaaaaania­aaaaa~



[TimwiTerby]

Next time use something that doesn’t splatter that stupid text across the middle of the video! Jeebus!

[mlcw1218]

@TimwiTerby who cares! Its still an awsome video and if I'm not mistaken the best quality I've seen so far!

[GravityBeatle]

If Yakko's grandpa's cousin was the King's daughter's sibling, then wouldn't he have two cousins? Cause that would mean the king has two children, and his grandpa being cousins with one must be cousins with the other, right?

Oh, who cares. Just let the anvils ring!

[meepenator3]

Hold on, according to that family tree, Yakko's mother is.... HIS SISTER! My mind is so full of fuck right now.

[dejEtack]

this was the only time i saw an anvil in a cartoon that wasn't falling

[odigonX]

Wait a minute Yakko had no family, he was drawn and then jumped out of the paper with Wakko and Dot.

[TheNeonIcing]

@cprich22

Well, if you look at near all Warner Brothers cartoons, anvils are a major 'comedy weapon' type thing. Like giant mallets, TNT, stuff like that too. It's just a thing that's been around for ages.

[TheStopmoCo]

Do the Animaniacs DVD's work on region 1 DVD players?

[TheCartoonGamer8000]

@TheStopmoCo Yes

[therealmissingno]

i have this episode on dvd it's part of season 1

[coolfulme123]

i wonder what episode is this....

[1gotb]

so the entire part before his grandpa didnt matter

[RainuanimeFani]

I have hear this only in Finnish. =D I would put it here XD

[MrTrailltrader]

TO BAD THE MAKER OF THIS VIDEO WAS RUDE ENOUGH TO PUT HIS BULLSHIT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT- HEY THANKS FOR SCREWING IT UP ASSHOLE

[LaDdaDda1]

wat tune is this

[KatThePuppyGirl]

its sad they hav no family but themselfes

[KatThePuppyGirl]

he fell on his butt!!!!



[Pichicha123]

You know, in all of the shows of MY childhood (I'm 13, I was born in 1998) they NEVER said what the name of the anvils was, so if I was talking about that to someone I would say that Daffy got squashed with that black heavy thing.

[KatThePuppyGirl]

@Pichicha123 thats so funny AND ironic! but thats the warner for you!

[Neridah12]

What I would give to have that xylophone music... =)

[lilyruby13]

I'm tring to cheer myself up because I just cracked my iphone 4 screen. I'M DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SnowWhiteShadow]

0:25-0:34

I can sing that part without looking at the lyrics.

God, I'm a loser. XD

Aw, who cares... Let the anvils ring! :D

[KatThePuppyGirl]

@SnowWhiteShadow oh, ur not a loser, its just that you need to practice more! it takes a while!

[worldofwarcraftman2]

@SnowWhiteShadow you think thats bad? i can sing the nations song in a minute.......xD

[bleeduntildeath]

@SnowWhiteShadow sing the country song without looking at the lyrics and people will be impressed

[themangakawolf]

I'm the cousin to the sister

Of son's niece's brother

Of the uncle's daughter's father

Of the nephew's sister's mother

And my grandpa's only cousin

Was the King's daughter's sibling

[BlueRoseLeader]

@themangakawolf Well what does that make us? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!1!

[animerlzs85]

this explains where wakko gets all the anvils

[voltaman33]

Wakko's voice is the best!

[woopsadaisy10]

so .... His grandad was the king's nephew?

[jamocha101]

Being a xylephoneist, I envy Yakko to the depths of my heart. Lofty instrumentalist, he is. ♥

[jamocha101]

Yakko for president 2012.

[BugsBunnyGirl101]

@jamocha101 im voting for him

[charlyfox93]

so wait a second, of the whole family tree, the important part would just be: And my grandpa's only cousin

Was the King's daughter's sibling,?

[LovePeaceWakko]

Does it mean ur obsessed when u memeorised the order of the famliy tree?! is that bad?

[agennettpeachy]

@LovePeaceWakko nope i got it memorized :) or is that bad?? uhhh :( o well im not ashammed!!!!! this was and still is my favorite cartoon (even though it's not on anymore)

[BugsBunnyGirl101]

@agennettpeachy i did too!!!!!!

[agennettpeachy]

@BugsBunnyGirl101 cool!! :D wish it was back on tv, even if it was just reruns.

[TheGamer7000]

he would probably be the best king in history



[agennettpeachy]

@TheGamer7000 i second that!!!!!!!! :D

[mewtwotwo2222]

0:44



[mewtwotwo2222]

44

[cprich22]

what is it the warners and anvils???? they seem to have a rather starange enfatuation with them

[JeansIZJTHM]

I'm trying to memorize this& I pretty much have it down just that when he is says how he is related to the king I always mess up:(

[Neridah12]

At 1:07, Yakko kind of reminds me of the Cat in the Hat. =\

[firechica]

@Neridah12 they did do a spoof of Cat in the Hat.... It was called the Kid in the Cap and Yakko stared in it

[DangerWrap]

1:09 Really looks like a Mexican Flag or Italian empire flag.

[nachelio]

Pause between 1:04 and 1:05. Look at that guys face. O_O

[OddishThing18]

@nachelio ORGASM FACE

[ghosthunter427]

if you press 4 5 then3 at the right time it sounds like " i hate the nephew's sisters mother"

[NinjapsychicWonderlu]

I love his face when he says 'I am now your king, repeat what I just said'. It's so evil lol

[KelleyLOVESYakko]

I NEED THIS INSTRUMENTAL! D: lol

[celtich]

lol 0:52 - 1:00 the anvil chorus ^^ yeey :)

[klepperchicks]

they look VERY short in this vid...

[TheSplat151]

@klepperchicks Yea, i was thinking that too... its strange.

[klepperchicks]

LOL

[pooldacman]

I wonder if any of them are blacksmiths...

[banamina]

1:03 wakko had to come out of there.....

[Invaderzrule]

i have seen wakkos wish!

[frezblade]

yakko deserves to be a king

[marktrade88]

Yes, whyyyyy. YES WHYYYYYYY???

[darkridr25]

...and what sucks is that we can't watch whole episodes here. I'd love to own these, but can't find them for sale anywhere. Because of this, gems like these are lost forever.... :(

[TheMUFFINATOR1000]

@darkridr25 you can by dvd season of animaniacs off of amazon or ebay

[jamocha101]

There's something about 1:06 to 1:15 that really hooks me on this song...

[kaethel]

so... he's grampas cuisin was the king. sorry for ruining the song:P

[Thisismyusername1010]

@kaethel No, his grandpa's cousin was the child of the king. Sorry for ruining your ruining of the song. :P

[Thisismyusername1010]

I'm pretty sure that this entire episode is based on the movie "Duck Soup". If you haven't seen it, you don't know what you're missing!

[LoverofLiszt]

@Thisismyusername1010

Couldn´t agree more. The Marx brothers, along with Abbott and Costello, were truly the Animaniacs of the black and white era. Simply awsome, all three of them (or nine to be exact).

[JemTehFox]

This raises an interesting question. Can you ring Anvils at different tones and therefore make a melody?

[windsockstudios]

1:32 yakko fall down

[jamocha101]

Something about the animation for this episode is...um, different. Their eyes seem to be bigger, and them themselves are kind of, um...I don't know, lankier?

Regardless of whatever, this song holds a specail place in my heart; it was the first Animaniac song I ever heard, and defintely one of my favorites. Yakko sure can bust out a note.

[metavash]

sooooo... he is The cousin to the sister of the son's neice's brother of the uncle's daughter's father of the nephew's sister's mother and his grandpa's only cousin was the king's daughter's sibling... I tried to figure it out but it is beyond my brain capacity, i even drew a tree!

[Thisismyusername1010]

@metavash It means he was the nephew of the great uncle and his grandpa's only cousin was the kings child.

[Praylv]

Yakko : "Yes,I am now your king. Repeat what i just said" People: "Repeat what I just said " :D :D :D

[JOHNSPARTAN300]

all the blacksmith's loved this king

[pcgodwin]

It looks like nobody is an anvil. -pcgodwin's child

[funsiZe20]

That face at 1:05 oh the lols.

[Benstudio13]

Did anyone else notice the people ringing the Anvils look all the same?

[arandomperson3]

I didn't know what an anvil was for until my school took a field trip to a farm and I was told it was used to forge horseshoes. I was like "Aren't you supposed to drop them on people's heads?"

[JCis4every1]

Great news - the iTunes Store has the complete 1st season of Animaniacs!! :)

[tacoblocko]

any one think the warners look kind of small? Like yakko he looks shorter than I remember. Maybe its just been a while since I saw him?

[nese16]

@tacoblocko I think itz just because this was an early episode. as the series went on, the way they were drawn looks different. hope that helps if not try looking up a later ep than this like "Draculee Draculaa"

[Animaniacs101]

bring back the animaniacs, send your complaints to 4000 Warner Boulevard

Burbank, CA. 91522 and tell them you want animaniacs back on the air, thats all we can do for now.

[KevDoFresh]

0:53 tiny anvil FTW

[scoobyrds]

I love Dot's face at 0:53 :D

[Salukiara]

Which ep is this from 

[kara2lucy]

@Salukiara King Yakko.

[SwedishChef908]

1:04 porr guy...

[kara2lucy]

@SwedishChef908 lol i thought he looked kinda pleased....i agree that was kinda...yah but look at his face...he looks satisfied....

[SwedishChef908]

@kara2lucy just got slightly more awkward

[arandomperson3]

I wish Wakko was king!

[Thisismyusername1010]

Random: has anyone else noticed that this entire episode is based on the movie "Duck Soup"?

[ScalecWolf]

I always wondered where cartoons got their falling anvils. Now I know they are air shipped straight from Anvilania. :D

[MCPaulo101]

he should be the king of england

[billystormful]

I love Yakko's face at 0:46

[YoshiStarSpirit]

I heart Yakko.

[redhawk797]

Dammit! Where can I find sheet music for this song? Or at least the anvil solo?

[billystormful]

@redhawk797 Do you want to sing it or something? Search Google (it'd only a suggestion).

[redhawk797]

@billystormful Actually, I meant for a keyboard, preferrably the xylophone, so I can play the anvil solo.

[KelliYakkoPetrelli]

Me to Yakko:

HELOOOOO MALEE NURSE!

[KelliYakkoPetrelli]

I love yakko!!!! I'm like the real life female version of him!!! Long Live King Yakko!!! :3 he will always be in my heart. :3

[christiankittyluver]

I like 1:13 =)

[scyduckzard2007]

wakko has an extremely hard head or something.....ROFLMAO!!!

[dragonson04]

@scyduckzard2007 he's a cartoon

[TF2Fan101]

@scyduckzard2007 That, or he has no brain.

[thenewageriseth]

LOL I remember this! The anvils sounded like bells LMAO!!!

[cheesycoke]

i would love to see their dad :3

[MegaNerdgirl]

@cheesycoke Watch the movie, you see both parents. But don't get too excited, it's just in a painting.

[lovepuppy135]
