Animaniacs! - A Deadly Game of Checkers

[click4mychannel]

Billy and Mandy ripped this off hard.

[jelatinMAN]

Haha I saw this on the Oscars special on ABC last night! That might have been the first time they aired since 2006! I wish they were back on tv

[cruelfishy]

@jelatinMAN really?!

[sillverice1212]

Death:Feel free to move first, It really doesnt matter, I haven't lost since time began

Yakko: When was that?

Death: I think it was a Tuesday.. very few people know that

^ lmao best part.. and when they knock him on the head with the mallet.

[SpitShineT0mmy]

My god... Death is Dragon Born!

[Pancakeman305]

I didn't know Jarl Balgruuf was death.

[Sonia1978NYC]

It seems to me that this analogous to Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey.

[GoldenFlither15]

"Guess who!"

"Eh, Crispin Glover?"

XD

[gamehot0]

"Your breath is like the breeze off a landfill." They need to bring this back XD

[penguinboy561]

Why is death Sweedish?

[xXxCrossBonesxXxxxx]

@penguinboy561 This episode is largely a parody of a famous film by Swedish director Ingmar Bergmans about a man who makes a bet with Death over a game of chess. It's called the Seventh Seal.

[SpitShineT0mmy]

@penguinboy561 He's not Swedish, he's Dragon-Born!

[Laceykat66]

Like any kid, or 3/4 of the parents, would GET this joke.

THAT was the genius of this show.

[bubbaXzone]

lol death got trolled HARD!

[thazzle]

lol Ohio sucks

[gaelicviking]

This very cartoon is why I can't ever watch The Seventh Seal with a straight face.

[SapphireBoy26]

LMAO!!! This is my favorite scene in this episode. I got the complete series on DVD for Christmas, and I just saw this episode a few days ago. I was laughing so hard during this scene. :D

[TheGrungeGamer2]

2 people peeked.

[minkske113]

I enjoy how Yakko is making all the moves.

[hernandezroger1]

Did the Warners literally cheat death?

[minkske113]

@hernandezroger1 More like they cheated AGAINST Death. xD

[Lilieigor1]

LOL

2:36

They are the tail wagging

[BlueRoseLeader]

Living Impaired.....damnit political correctness hits everywhere

[BlueRoseLeader]

Thats how I felt about Ohio

[22alexc1]

So Yakko was the only Warner that didn't almost die.

[articunoluver1]

its like bill and ted.

[geekyclaire]

"Are we dead"

"Or is this Ohio?"

Sadly, as an Ohioan, I can say that that's true. XD

[Manigran]

@geekyclaire Could you explain that joke to me? I'm Canadian, so that's probably why I don't understand it.

[geekyclaire]

@Manigran Ohio's a pretty boring place most of the time. Our weather, however, changes about every 10 minuets. XD

[Manigran]

@geekyclaire Thanks!

[AngelOfLight50]

@geekyclaire

As a fellow Ohioan, I can also say this is true. Oh Ohio.

[TheEverydayimshuffli]

@geekyclaire im an ohioan too and i agree :D

[SlinkyPie]

i was just talkin about this episode with my mom a couple days ago LOL.

[obiwanobiwan13]

"Are we dead?"

"Or is this Ohio?"

XD

Does anyone else find that to be one of the funnier lines on the show...it's just such a great delivery with a simple-yet-elegant set up...and EVERYONE can laugh at it!

[Manigran]

@obiwanobiwan13 I don't understand the joke. Could you explain it to me?  Thanks!

[tommyrood3]

does this come off with wad?

[spiderman5402]

when i was this episode i thought bill and tead chess scene

[iCarlyBTRVictorious]

"Are we dead?" "Or is this Ohio?" I love the Animaniacs!

[SpaceClinicProverbs]

I love it!  This is a parody of a very old Swedish film known as "The Seventh Seal". It's really fantastic, actually!

[Abderian]

Why is Death Swedish?

[Cindy67917]

Yakko: Chess is unknown to us, we perfer Duel Monsters.

Death: Duel Monsters it is.

Dot: Unless you have Uncle Wigley or Candyland!

[TheDisneyWarnerPage]

I love you Dot Warner darling your sooooooooooo CUTE and ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheDisneyWarnerPage]

What is Uncle Wigley Dot Warner darling?

[TheDisneyWarnerPage]

Nice crowning Yakko and Dot.

[daracenak]

Crispin Glover?? (George McFly in Back to the Future) xD

[LordDarthHarry]

I knew it! Death is color blind!

[christianalarcon]

I think it was a Tuesday..lol thats the funniest thing ever...im always saying that people are like "what the hell"

[Xroswarsfan]

@christianalarcon oh wow my family does the exact same thing. every time Tuesday is mentioned we say "I think it was a Tuesday"

[RyanofAndor]

It is a homage to the 1957 movie the Seventh Seal, by Swedish director Ingmar Bergman. Where a knight returning from the crusades plays a game of chess with Death for his life.

[XAJanaeX]

@RyanofAndor Didn't the episode of Hey Arnold where Arnold loses his grandpa's watch in the sewer and has to defeat the Sewer King in a game of chess to get it back also referenced that movie?

[kittensluv123]

[emilysgotcurls]

...or are we in Ohio?

[sweetcinnamonpnchkin]

[amberlerzorz]

What episode is this from?

[OddishThing18]

@amberlerzorz Meatballs or Consequences

[TheOverhuman]

Bergman would be proud.

[PowerArmorV113]

Oh, "The Seventh Seal"........

How I still don't understand you!

[cat21860]

How did Wakko die? All I know is that it was the worst day of my life.

[TotalDramaIsland5500]

@cat21860 he over ate in a swedish meatball eating contest

[cat21860]

@TotalDramaIsland5500 Oh, thanks

[pagesturning]

@cat21860 eating too many meatballs. so now can u tell me how that would kill anyone(even warner)?

[cat21860]

@pagesturning I most of coked or hes tummy repsured.

[emilygracey]

One of the best Ingmar Bergman parodies out there right after the MST3K parody. Thanks for posting!

[3000heroes]

I'm from Ohio

[TwilightAngel35]

....i think i`m jealous of death...he met the warners...QQ

[SilentHuntress95]

"We win! But you put up a heck of a fight for a literary personification of the state of non-being. I read that in Cosmo :)"

Lol that is my fav part!!!

[ellypix]

I wish someone'd upload the whole episode, I used to love this one.

Death hit the dislike button in disgust for losing miserably. LOL!

[raeven1212]

[Johnffrey87]

The way Dot is drawn from 2:03-06 reminds me of Ren and Stimpy.

[mackenzielps]

PRESS 5 HE POKE U

[sunsetat6]

LOL.........Uhh, Cripin Glover??

[SnowWhiteShadow]

Yakko: We accept.

Dot: To accept is to yield.

Yakko: To yield is to allow oncoming traffic the right of way.

Dot: Your breath is like the breeze of a landfill.

Yakko: Food particles are wedged between your teeth.

[Gigacorn]

@SnowWhiteShadow *insert fisticuffs here*

[paoloching]

0:44 to 0:49 their movements resemble the old animation of south park

[megakirby9]

The jokes are more mature than late night shows...

[aczom2]

[demonella]

"You put up a heck of a fight for the literary personification of the state of non-being.

...

I read that in Cosmo."

[lyricsfromgg]

"...Or is this Ohio." xD

[wozawowow]

[OttarErOsom]

I like the Swedish death

[gyrrakavian]

I know what they're parodying when talking in monotone profile, but I can't place my finger on it.

Also, thumbs up for the Todd, as "Todd" comes from the German word for death.

[RDV333]

[mrmouth92]

[KaiTenSatsuma]

Why is death Swedish? o_o

[MegaMonZX0]

@KaiTenSatsuma It's because this episode takes place in Switzerland. I read that in a summary. From where? Well, not Cosmo, i'll tell ya that. :D

[NonFurryable]

I love how Wakko wags his tail at 2:32 XD

"All is strange and vague."

"Are we dead?"

[glade20]

[Hasegawaa]

[neosoc]

So, is Death Swedish, or something?

[Metalhead15712]

@neosoc in this case yes, but whole Grim Reaper thing was started in Ireland

[AndRod29]

@neosoc Its a reference to a movie, The Seventh Seal

[IndianaJonesfans09]

Guess who!

Cripson Glover? (LOL, george mcfly)

No.

Kathly Giffer?

Na! Your WAY off!

That erkal kid?

HEY! You peeked!

[Mountainpup01]

Was Death referencing the movie or the actual ice age? Either way, I probably just asked a dumb question.

[TheTigerwolf55]

@Mountainpup01 The actual ice age. This was made years before that movie was released.

[RanShinichi4eva]

Dot: I read it in Cosmo

[sansomstudios]

0:37 Yakko and Dot had the original idea for all the crazy Bing commercials

[aczom2]

"those this come of with wud?"

[Clowning8]

"Whats death like Wako?"

"Pretty boring I already hummed all the songs i know." XD lol love that bit

[tommyt1971]

[Praylv]

2:41 lol "kaput" sticky notes xD

[MrAT1008]

Why is death swedish???

[Mullahgrrl]

@MrAT1008 He isn't.

[FpisH]

@MrAT1008 Look up "The Seventh Seal: The knight's first meeting with death" Its a Bergman movie.

[Frerichs1962]

Is this a throw back to Bill and Ted's bogus journey?

[silverrainsquare]

Seems like a parody of "the seventh seal" by ingmar bergmann.

[infinitevitality]

living impairment. i just learnt a new phrase. NICE

[chainedsword]

Dot is really cute from 2:01 - 2:05 xDD

[bleeduntildeath]

is it sad I can quote the poetry between yakko and dot word for word?

[hippiedude01]

LOOK AT THE BOARD at 1:52 (look at the pieces)

Look at the board from 2:00- 2:01 before and after the reapers arms move.

(The pieces changed and the one red piece that should remain is gone)

[scoobyrds]

I haven't lost a game of checkers since time began!

When was that?

I think it was a Tuesday. Very few people know that.

[obiwanobiwan13]

@scoobyrds Now THAT explains why the world is so messed up!

Really, the whole of time beginning on a Tuesday...could never get the hang of Tuesdays, you know, just after Monday, and right before the middle of the week...

Really, TUESDAY...ppppffffff......

"Are we dead?

"Or is this Ohio?"

A VERY legitimate question... XD

[taranchula97]

Y: All is strange and vague.

D: Are we dead?

Y: Or is this Ohio?

XD

[arandomperson3]

I love how Wakko sounds like Ringo Star! XD

It would be even funnier if Billy and Mandy were in this episode, but sigh that woudl require a time-machine

[JeezaLou]

That Urkel kid!

[ThatOneProgrocker182]

1:28-1:38 friggin hilarious

[bretellegirl]

Great "Seventh seal" parody...

"_I haven't lost at checkers since time began.

_When was that?

_I think it was a tuesday."

[mystery1942]

I've been searching for this like a mad. Thanks for uploading

[MrWerehog23]

Hampsters?

[MrWerehog23]

Tuesday

[HypnotoadProductions]

By the way, the stickers he attaches to their forhead saying "Kaput" is a nordic / european term (Swiss / German / Netherlands) for expired or broken.

[rosemc15]

uuuh...that urkel kid!

hey! you peaked!  effin love yakko

[chipmunkfever88]

They're tails are wagging!! 2:30-2:40 lol

[iristhevampiress]

@chipmunkfever88 Maybe they're puppies after all?

[redhawk797]

This is the only kid's show I know of that references The Seventh Seal.

[XennaXDemyx]

XD "Whats death like, Wakko?"

"Its pretty boring. I've already hummed all the songs I know."

[OtakuGuruGirl09]

All is strange and vague

Are we dead?

Or is this Ohio?

To yield is to allow oncoming traffic the right of way

WHY YOU MISERABLE LITTLE HAMSTERS!!!

[OtakuGuruGirl09]

All is strange and vague

Are we dead?

Or is this Ohio?

To yield is to allow oncoming traffic the right of way

[NinjaRacoonDelta]

what episode is this?

[WakkoWarner1]

@NinjaRacoonDelta I think it was Meatballs or Consequences 

[Gabid77]

scratch my last post, i though he said "live". whatever though, animaniacs is awesome

[Gabid77]

anyone realize that death is retarded and there is a loophole in what he said. he said

"you will be living together forever" key word, living. now how can they be living if they are dead. the writers either missed this, or they didnt show it to the full extent. i think the writers just didnt catch the flaw in death's words

[Guitarman5150]

@Gabid77 No he said, "You will be together forever."

[MollyThePanda]

What's death like, wakko?

Pretty boring. I've already hummed all the songs I know :/

XD

[srcaradesemaforo]

does anibody sees the points in common withvbilly and mandy´s show ?

it started not long after this episode appear....

[Gabid77]

@srcaradesemaforo yea, only billy and mandy used limbo, which is alot harder

[srcaradesemaforo]

ANY SIMILARITY WITH billy and mady show is purelly cassual...
