Ahhh... college. How I miss your lazy afternoons and casual sex with Jenni. She introduced me to Animaniacs.

CSB:

I met the former voice of Skippy in college. He's a huge film nerd. I think he finished film school a couple of years ago and is trying to make it as a director.

That show was way smarter than it had any right being.

The article didn't contain what I want to know about Animaniacs: When they're making more.

What? No GoodFeathers?!?

God, that was a flashback to childhood.

Sir Vanderhoot: That show was way smarter than it had any right being.

There were definitely a good number of smart shows from that time period. Only one that never really got its due, imho, was Gargoyles, simply because Disney couldn't handle a more mature cartoon like WB did with the DC shows.

Anyways, Animaniacs(or perhaps Histeria) was the last good slapstick style humor cartoon I can think of, something in the style of Looney Tunes that is.

I found Prince!

Santa's name has no L

Ghastly: Pinky! Are you thinking pondering what I'm thinking pondering?

I think so Brain, but if you "get along little dogie" isn't that a dachshund?

Ghastly: Pinky! Are you pondering what I'm pondering?
(Fixed)

I think so, Brain, but we're already naked.

Ghastly: Pinky! Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

I think so, Brain, but where are we going to get all those rubber pants?

Ghastly: Pinky! Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

I think so Brain but, isn't Regis Philbin already married?

The Nerdist Podcast had Rob Paulsen and Maurice LaMarche (Pinky and the Brain's voice actors) on not too long ago. It's really worth a listen...

Podcast Link!

Mentat: Stavr0: I found Prince!

No no, finger prints!

...I don't think so.

I think so Brain, but where are we going to find rubber pants our size?

the beavers got trimmed.

Know how I know none of you actually read the article.

Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky: I think so, Brain, but where are we gonna find a tattoo parlor that's open at this time of night?

Does anyone know if any of the online streaming services carry the show?

I think so Brain, but burlap chafes me so.

Lake Titicaca, oh Lake Titicaca
It's between Bolivia and Peru
Lake Titicaca, oh Lake Titicaca
With waters tranquil and blue.
Oh Lake Titicaca, yes Lake Titicaca
Why do we sing of its fame?
Lake Titicaca, yes Lake Titicaca
'Cause we really like saying its name!
Titicaca!

Bondith: the beavers got trimmed.

I was about to come in here and mention that. I can't believe that slipped by the editor.

Hurr hurr hurr...sorry.

Well, given that the article contained a link to every "G'night everybody!" moment from the series, it might have been on purpose.

My favorite Pinky and the Brain exchange:

Brain: Are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky: Whoof, oh, I'd have to say the odds of that are terribly slim, Brain.
Brain: True.
Pinky: I mean, really, when have I ever been pondering what you've been pondering?
Brain: To my knowledge, never.
Pinky: Exactly. So, what are the chances that this time, I'm pondering what you're pondering?
Brain: Next to nil.
Pinky: Well, that's exactly what I'm thinking, too.
Brain: Therefore, you are pondering what I'm pondering.
Pinky: Poit, I guess I am!

Funny, I caught myself singing the them song to myself in my office yesterday.

It's time for Animaniacs......

LazarusLong42: Bondith: the beavers got trimmed.

Damn it! I was gonna post that!

NuttierThanEver: Can I also speak of my love for the underrated Freakazoid? Damn that show had some truly subversive moments.

Animaniacs
Freakzoid
The Real Ghostbusters

Now that was the way to waste an afternoon while getting baked instead of going to class.

Also in the Animaniacs/Freakazoid era was the much underrated Earthworm Jim series. Very similar in that it was written for kids but really mostly for adults. Lots of great culture references and jokes.

Good times, good times...

The narrator for the sketches was Tom Bodett, the spokesman for Motel 6 who promises to "leave the light on for you."

How did I never catch that?

I can hear him narrating parts of the show in my head right now

Came here for this. Will now have to go with "Well, I think so, Brain, but if Jimmy cracks corn, and no one cares, why does he keep doing it?"
