Animaniacs - Variety Speak

[summerroselps]

If only we could learn everything we needed to learn in school from funny cartoons and catchy songs....

[gguirao]

@summerroselps Well, I did learn about geography and math from Animaniacs.

[NoArtisticLimitation]

Animaniacs - teaching children young and old things they may or may not need to know in life through song and humour in under an hour.

School - teaches children and teenagers things that more likely than not won't ever be needed again through boredom and lots of work, five days a week for almost your entire childhood life.

I know which I perfer ;D

[carlotta4th]

0:55 I'd vote for Wakko. After all, he's "not a crook!" Winner!

[KaiTenSatsuma]

This is a kids cartoon by the way.

[ztslovebird]

This is not right. Why can I learn more from watching this 3 minute video than my teacher can try to shove in my brain in 4 hours? Something's very wrong here, and it's definitely not the song!

[FoxerBoxerNaaniwa]

My fellow Americans... I'm not a crook!

[Heirtotheking]

Ah, Jess Harnell. the man can do freaking ANYTHING with his voice!

[guncannon109]

Hellooooo nurse!

[AMVslowking]

nostalgia squee

[garbagemonkey101]

This proves that the warners are dogs

[Jamochaism]

@garbagemonkey101 They are not dogs, sir. Their official species if Cartoonus Characterus.

[CBN0]

But what about their appointment!

[dragonson04]

@CBN0 It's a rule of cartoons......anything can be interrupted for a musical number

[CBN0]

@dragonson04 lol, guess so.

[Adv2k169]

i wonder why this was made. Did the writers get bored and open up a variety and didn't get it and thought it would be a great cartoon? I enjoyed this clip but it seems so odd and random thing to do a 3 minutes cartoon on

[AmberIllidge]

@Adv2k169 its not random when your 3

[ariandynas]

Normally I'd make a comment about how this shows Hollywood is behind, they can't even spell simple words right...

Then I think about programming language. ("Perl?Pfft, ruby, man, ruby.")

[sufiasaliha]

'He's a little behind today'

'He's not a little behind to us...He's a BIG one!'

Can't wait to use that! lol

[KittyfantasticoFTW]

Wow... Wakko will do ANYTHING for a dog treat.

[Cloud797]

Wow they actually mentioned the OJ trail on Animaniacs, lol.

[connorherrold]

that was awesome.

[eaglesfan226]

Helloooooooo nurse!

[sapisismo]

i wonder sometimes what was the need to draw the nurse so voluptuous haha

[dragonson04]

@sapisismo Because they could back then....

[erimol237]

Take a good hard look at this! Children´s cartoons will never, I repeat, never be as good as Animaniacs!

[PuppyDogKibble]

@erimol237 well yeah, if you don't count tiny toons

[SpitShineT0mmy]

@erimol237 Fuck ponies, we got Animaniacs!

[ParappaTheTroller]

awesome song

[AliZonlynne]

They dont teach that in school ;)

[rach1and1tiff]

This is the only thing that got me through headline writing in Journalism.

[TheDisneyWarnerPage]

So the Warner trio can do doggy tricks, cute.

[takineko]

@Nintendo46 Sure I can, their noses are always red! ;)

[MichaelSar12IsBack]

How come Wakko's barely got any lines in this song?

[Haquize]

@MichaelSar12IsBack They're explaining something to him in song, plus Wakko's meant to be the most quiet Warner sibling.

[TheApachacha]

@MichaelSar12IsBack Maybe cause he has no idea what their talking about ?

[MTN090899]

i miss wakko...and everyone in animaniacs

[MTN090899]

lol......(Nixon)I am not a crook

[SBAnimaniacs]

How come in the songs, Wakko never knows what they're talking about or is learning, like in Be a Pest from Cutie in the Beast, You Gotta Do the Schmooze, or this one?

[95gtscort]

0:34 I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!!! They are dogs!!!

[Neridah12]

3:17 giant Warner sibling hug...so cute!

[Pichicha123]

I wonder if anyone actually went to Holly wood and started talking like that?

[ShinyGaara65]

Dr. Scratchandsniff will see you now.

[TheJessisweet16]

@ShinyGaara65 Wakko: Good! I've been waiting for hours! :P

[NickyLess]

This just reinforces that the 90s was the best era! Yay for the animaniacs :D

[HRussBrown1]

@NickyLess i agree! i wish i was a kid of the 90's

[SonicFamilyGal]

@HRussBrown1 I knew someone was going to be old at heart!

[GotNextVideo]

I love how this show had zero qualms about going completely over their target audience's heads to do insider jokes.

[strangedaysfan]

Alright, I guess Wakko just proved that they're dogs!XD

Sorry if everyone already knew this. I myself thought they might be, but I needed confirmation.

[chickentastegood9]

@strangedaysfan he's not, and no, everyone did NOT know, because they're species is unknown. they made a whole episode (well, actually a song but who cares) about finding out what they are. one of the ideas was "maybe we are dogs, cute little dogs" and another was "maybe we are bugs" so yeah. sorry. yeah they're species is "Cartoonus Characterus" (true fact)

[strangedaysfan]

@chickentastegood9 ...oh. well, I thought they were giving it away there. my bad.

[chickentastegood9]

@strangedaysfan :) s'okay dude

[sailorscoobygirl04]

omg LOL wakko what is wrpong with you?  aparintly wakko is a dog!!!!!!!!!!!

[alexandthomas]

my fellow americans, i am not a crook!

thats my answer to my favorite quote from wakko

[ghost13haunter]

When Dot told Wakko to roll over, I honestly thought he was going to pull a record player from the side of the screen

[jr89dp]

God, no wonder I love Hollywood production and backstage... You know, the more I re-watch Animaniacs, the more I understand myself. It's like a trip inside my Psyche. No wonder I'm so messed up.

[TheStopmoCo]

Turn on the captions and when Dot says "Wakko, she means sit", it says slut!

Also when Wakko says "Hey Big Daddy, 'sup, what it is what it is.", it says detests israelis XD

[queenesther09]

"Hey Big Daddy, 'sup??" God, I love that guy!

[ghost13haunter]

The thing that surprises me about this skit is that they actually showed up for their appointment with Scratchy.

[crazyfooInc]

If you're ever bored while traveling, studying, or any other mundane task, try singing any Animaniacs song to yourself. It will make EVERYTHING interesting ^-^

[TheIgraenne]

Am I the only one replacing "variety speak" with leet speak?

[JessikaRF]

Over a year old and no dislikes! Go Animaniacs!

[KingYakko]

I own original production cels from this song! :D one from the "Boffo Smash makes Warner cash." scene and one from the "Normal Talk Makes Producers Walk." scene.

[chickentastegood9]

I AGREE with mochanat totally...............i always say to my friends who love this show, think of wakko impersonating Justin Bieber, Yakko doing Lady Gaga, Dot and her brothers doing Twilight.......ha ha ha i laugh just imagining it.....

[agennettpeachy]

@chickentastegood9 me too that would be soo hilarious!! XD

[mochanat]

Why don't they make cartoons like this anymore....we have even more stuff to make fun of

[moonbeast32]

Variety speak is the speech of those who went to school for only a week

[Oliver30]

If only they made a song about Billboard Magazine, Rolling Stone, People, or the National Enquirer.

[Oliver30]

2:39 "While the ratings smile on the OJ trial" lol!!

[rach1and1tiff]

No dislikes woohoo!

[HotaruMitsuki101]

Odd enough, I think most of them are legit.

[FilmFTW1]

Better find a way to subscribe to Variety!

[patrick5087]

I think i plain to write in Wakko Warner for pres...

[animallover2047]

VOTE WAKKO 2012!

[chickentastegood9]

@animallover2047 sure thing. i know he'll win, trust me.

[gohanguy22]

@animallover2047 i know i did!

[SpitShineT0mmy]

@animallover2047 I'd vote for him.

[ninjaaaaasplat]

Rocky 6? Ironic.

[Milkman26789Z]

3:11 If I could just have that cell, I'd be happy.

[Beatles7373]

I almost grew up with this show... and watching these creative, original songs sends shivers up my spine even today. I LOVE this show, and it's sad that they cancelled it. But nothing good lasts, and there are a couple of good shows out there, though not nearly as many as there were ten years ago. We just need to hold our heads high and bear it. Soon enough, these people in Hollywood will realise that we like the old stuff, and bring it back. (:

[OyeMiVoz]

LOL the Nixon parody...Vote for Wakko

[Abobojo]

Hellloooooooooooo nurse!

[peaceoutrawkon]

LOL @ the poster of Batman 18 and he has a walker! ahahahaha. at 2:24

[MrGeorge2220]

I still don't understand it. XD

[dragonson04]

NO!! This is not the end Wakko!

[jemmytaveras]

Well Yakko was Prophetic There was a Rocky No. 6

[takineko]

@SimanetteObsessed Yakko is the best singer of the three, I love them all but yes. He's awesome.

[alithanar8]

2:27 - 2:30 Didn't the Nostalgia Critic say something Schwarzenegger in King Lear in his Jurassic Park 2 review?

[Sandfur]

@alithanar8 Yes he did. But he never made a comment on it being referenced in this song.

[takineko]

@alithanar8 YES! ~makes a screen cap-- Sends it to Doug~ XD

[alithanar8]

@takineko I sent Doug an email the other day telling him about it... still waiting to see if he gets back to me

[takineko]

@alithanar8 Doug rarely responds to emails. I posted a screen cap on his facebook and he replied "AHA! So it WAS planned!"

[PushingUpTrollss]

This is how you put songs into a cartoon without making them cheesy/corny.

Make them catchy with plenty of references!

[Ohio991]

MY fellow Americans I'm not a crook. lol Nixon reference

[animls4ever]

@Ohio991 And yet he still resigned in shame. No one really remembers what he did before the Watergate Scandal. Just like how everyone remembers Clinton for Monica Lewinski.

[MisBamse]

@SargentAveryJohnson  Mice?

Why mice?

[TF2Fan101]

SISKEL AND EBERT CAMEO!!!!!

[12tmpw]

@juanferdabunny yep

[hslicee813]

i remember watching this episode :D i didnt really get any of the pop culture refrences, given i was a little kid. wow, i feel old saying that, ... whatevess. animaniacs is AWESOME! :D

[theMeteorgames]

2:45 Back to Future 14. We need 14 Back to the future movies. Give us 14 Back to the Future movies!

[MrGolly10]

LOL It's spoken by the folks who went to school for one week!

[Shilohalexander]

The funny thing is that that is pretty accurate.

[carnut015]

Awesome.

[soniczephyr]

Brilliant...period.

[Milkman26789Z]

One of the lyrics is "Rocky number 6 so beware!" But almost 20 years after this was released, "Rocky Bolboa" (or "Rocky 6") was released. And, it did great in the box office. Animaniacs has that magic affect! :D

[IceKholdStare]

O.J. trial! Hah.

E.T. 4 on the theater.

And all the other obscure references, were just great.

[12tmpw]

i wish i had a dog like wakko no offence to my own dog

[MisBamse]

@12tmpw I'd rather have him as my brother

And Yakko too (:

[12tmpw]

@MisBamse i dont blame u,id trade my cousins im with all the time with yakko,wakko and dot :)

[MisBamse]

@12tmpw i got four sisters. if just two of them was boys like wakko and yakko i'd be happe and i'd call us "the warners" just for fun.

[MisBamse]

@MisBamse wrote wrong..

[SolrSurfr3]

3:02

That's Roman!

[KelliYakkoPetrelli]

yakko's universe reference 2:30 :D anyone else see that???

[christiankittyluver]

@KelliYakkoPetrelli

Haha... you're right.. I hadn't noticed that before =)

[chubakalabra]

i don't get being paid a arm and a leg.

[KelliYakkoPetrelli]

@chubakalabra it means getting paid A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!! it an idiom (:

[Nanabobo]

This makes me sad. What happened to the days when you could have highly animated, contorting characters that still kept their shape? The days of high-quality voice actors? The days of real instrumental music? With real, funny writing? Nowadays it's all crappy thrown-together bits of suckage. Ugh, I'm too young to be able to make a "back in my day" rant...

[Raxer21]

@Nanabobo Honey you need to know that cartoons are basically in control of about 3-6 companies and THEY DECIDE WHAT YOUR CHILD WATCHES. THEIR IS NO SUCH THING AS ANIMANIACS ANYMORE, stupid government -_-

[TherealRNO]

@Raxer21: Those companies may decide what to air, but it is up to parents to decide what their kid watches, but sadly, most parents neglect this duty.

[SonicFamilyGal]

@TherealRNO Tell me about it. Parents are supposed to rule their children like mighty czars, not just be friends with them! My parents still have to do that to me, and I'm 23, because I still live under their roof!

[baneskrbic]

@Nanabobo

same...same :(

[MrWerehog23]

Now play dead.

GAH! Is this the end of little riko?

[tonnieannelewis]

i wish this was still on

[Kauaimon]

I love this song. And the ending where Yakko hugs his siblings fills me with warm fuzzies :3

[PikaPrincess123]

@Kauaimon I know right! He's such a great older brother! I don't think there's any other cartoon who had siblings as close as the warners. PLEASE LET THEM BRING BACK THIS SHOW!!

[amotuchan]

I love how you can tell through the warners' actions and how they talk how much they just love having fun together, it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside (is wearing cheesy expression)

[FabbyWasHere]

haha! Michael Eisner's wearing Mickey Mouse ears :D

[chipmunkfever88]

Knew it!! They are puppies!! Jk....though Wakko seems a little to good at acting the part.

[RandomGirlWooooo]

i seriously loved this cartoon :) 

[dude8481]

thats what i call speaking

[APPLESAUCE50]

Now THAT... is quality entertainment. *cries from nostalgia* (but really these cartoons make me feel warm and fuzzy inside... i miss the 90s)

[Conrad1809]

LOL Wakko is awesome and everybody knows it!! xD

[Undrave]

Man the times sure change from the 'thousand new movie next year'... studios make less movies per year now and they all focus on the big tentpole...

I read about it in the weekly edition of Variety XD

[ShilohsVacation]

0:29 - 1:05 Me and my brother do this when we want to annoy anyone who asks us to sit down. (:< #1 Way Gaunteed not to get you invited to your Aunt Bessies' every Christmas.

[mathislimitless]

Ehem, at 0:23, Hellloooo Nurse. Couldn't resist.

[mathislimitless]

@mathislimitless Before anyone says a thing, I know she's supposed to much smarter than average. What was it, IQ 192 or something along those lines, I swear, I think it depends on the episode.

[Kauaimon]

I love how Dot looked scared when she puts the newpaper on the floor for Wakko xD

[links212]

When Wakko acts like a dog, the music changes perfectly.

[SpiderEternal]

<3 I wub me some Animaniacs.

[sonicvail]

I'll never know how they made these songs so catchy...

[GeronKizan]

I loved how they predicted Rocky Balboa.

[CartoonPrincess15]

Wakko looks so cute when he acts like a puppy!

[WishesSetFree]

1:02 ROFL~~ xD omigod, I love this guy.

[KingYakko]

ooo this episode was done in widescreen cels!

[ztslovebird]

I'd LOVE to see how these guys would react to the latest Disney Channel insults to teen/tweenagers that some cruel person calls "sitcoms"!

[InvaderWakkoReborn]

@ztslovebird Disney actually calls them that! The executives should be beaten horribly along with Jamie Kellner!

[ztslovebird]

@InvaderWakkoReborn Who's Jamie Kellner?

[InvaderWakkoReborn]

@ztslovebird The jackass who cancelled Animaniacs! (we should kill him slowly and painfully)

[baneskrbic]

@ztslovebird

I would really see how they spoof CN.

[TheITinFIT]

@ztslovebird Same here! Can you imagine them taking on Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Bros., Wizards of Waverly Place and all the others? It would be like the episode of them making fun of "Friends" only a million times more hilarious! xD

[TF2Fan101]

@ztslovebird I'd like to see how they'd respond to Phineas and Ferb.

[gojirajin]

@ztslovebird Not to mention Twilight! That would be a masacre. And a fun one to.

[garishyellowshirt]

I can't believe they got away with a joke about the O.J. Simpson murder trial on kids' TV.

Animaniacs was amazing.

[TheWarnerSister]

I've been looking for this one!

[mankayng]

HAHA!! Wakko's so silly being like a dog!

[InvaderWakko]

i'm voting for Wakko!

(he's more trained than Obama!)

[InvaderIs]

@InvaderWakko so true!

[foxh8er]

@InvaderWakko Funny, I'm voted for Wakko because he was more trained than Sarah Palin...

[arandomperson3]

@InvaderWakko funny you say that considering how much they ripped on Rush Limbaugh

[InvaderWakkoReborn]

@arandomperson3 how so?

[LuckyStarAlice13]

@InvaderWakko If it were up to Wakko Animaniacs would be back on tv, so I vote for him too. Now I have to figure out how to vote without being 18... Maybe I can talk my family into voting for him! =)

[InvaderWakkoReborn]

@LuckyStarAlice13 Who knows? :P

[TheMrleomartin]

@InvaderWakko and a billion times smarter than Palin

[Tsakurokur]

@TheMrleomartin A rock is smarter than Palin, that's too easy.

[GameJudge]

@InvaderWakko I smell a conservative. 

[Ohio991]

@InvaderWakko ikr

[DavidBIGdArruda]

@InvaderWakko All presidents are well trained, they all play dead for congress. :D
