History Headscratchers / Animaniacs

*** Tom Ruegger replied in his blog, Cartoonatics, "Without gloves, I think their hands/paws would/should have white fur on them. In any case, they should wear their gloves so that these issues do not plague mankind."

** Nothing wrong with having a PeripheryDemographic, is there? Besides, that's one of the major appeals of the show: that you can come back to it as a grown-up and find a whole slew of new things to laugh at. This also effectively made it a show that the family could watch and enjoy together. Besides, parents don't ''have'' to explain the more "mature" jokes. Sometimes saying, "You'll get it when you're older," or, "It's a grown-up's joke," is acceptable.

* I think the Warners are cats just like Rita, even though their ears look nothing like cat ears.

** I personally think the Warner's hands, which are usually in their {{white gloves}} are white, just like Rita's gloveless hands are white.

*** Newcats, a fictional creature I like to think the Warners are, have higher foreheads and longer dewclaws (or "thumbs") than actual cat species.

This also effectively made it a show that the family could watch and enjoy together, rather than the adults being bored (as with some kids' shows) or the kids not understanding what was going on (as with many shows aimed at adults).

**** But those ''were'' intended for adults; they were originally created as a way to draw people into movie theaters. It was only later that kids became a bigger audience for cartoons than adults, and [[AnimationAgeGhetto we all know what happened then...]]

*** Some fanart pictures of Yakko, Wakko, and Dot show them white hands and some fanart pictures of them show them with hands the color of the rest of their arms.

*** And the ''original'' Warner characters had been doing it 50 years earlier, too.

*** The Simpsons was in its fourth season when Animaniacs premiered. It's pretty safe to say people had warmed up to the idea of animation for adults by then.

** At the time, the idea of a cartoon for adults was still completely new, with people predicting the Simpsons wouldn't last three seasons. Plus, the show had enough humour for kids to run on that. The kids will think of "finger prince" as two nouns, not an action.

* I won't say that a little ParentalBonus is a bad thing, but good lord, Animaniacs seemed to run on it. Seriously, if you want to make a show for adults, then do it. Don't make a show "for kids" and then leave the parents to try to explain why "finger Prince" is supposed to be funny.

--->'''Roger Rabbit:''' [[RuleOfFunny No, not at any time. Only when it was funny.]]

* What happened to [[MsFanservice Minerva Mink?!]] I loved her skits! They were funny, and Minerva got her KarmaticRetribution at the end! How come they kept the [[TheScrappy Hip Hippos]], but got rid of ''her''? I know half of it was from the innuendo, but I re-watched her only two episodes, and nothing caught my eye as "risque", and yet they keep HelloNurse. Such a DoubleStandard.

* The Warner brothers (and their Warner sister Dot)are essentially [[RealityWarper Omnipotent]] beings capable of bending reality to their whim (so is Slappy and she shows it off more), constantly being able to teleport, procure items from nowhere and even freeze time itself. How on earth were they ever captured to begin with? and why have they remained up in the water tower all this time?

* If the Warners are only supposed to torture jerks, why are they always torturing Scratchensniff? What did he do wrong?

* Are the Warner Bros and Warner Sister really considered ChaoticNeutral? They are not really malicious with their trouble making and in fact, quite friendly compared to Slappy the Squirrel whom is more ChaoticNeutral.
