nostalgia

Yakko, Wakko, and Dot.

If you are like me, you are very familiar with those three names. Or at least you were as a child. Animaniacs was serious the best cartoon ever. It was intelligent without being overbearing, sarcastic without passing over into cruelty, and it contained a fair amount of risqué humor. Looking back on it I'm actually surprised with some of the jokes they got away with. But I guess that's the very reason they got away with them; you need a certain level of maturity to get the more mature insinuations. (When you're little you just laugh at the fart jokes.)

Okay, I love Disney movies as much as the next girl, but this is just classic:


Animaniacs helped me pass History of the Americas in eleventh grade...


...and English in twelfth grade.


And finally, one of my absolute faves, the modern day "Who's on first":


Why isn't modern kids programming this good? You'd be surprised at how difficult it was to choose clips to post. I feel like I've missed out on a billion classic episodes. Go youtube them.
