!! Previously On Animaniacs contains examples of:
* NoodleIncident: Everything that happened in the sequence never happened in the actual series.
* BittersweetEnding: Parodied. The Warners' water tower blows up at the end, and while the Warners were genuinely shocked about it, Yakko, being Yakko, says that they'll rebuild so that it's...by then he's at a loss for words and Dot just finishes him by saying that's it's the old one, and the three are back to their zany selves.
* ColdOpen: Done right before the intro.
* ShoutOut: This basically parodies almost every live-action serial drama to date, at the time the episode airs.
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: The whole skit is a tad-bit dramatic towards the end, but staying faithful to its comedic roots, even people that loved dramas found everything hilarious.
