Headscratchers / Animaniacs (2020)

• What does it mean when Yakko says to Marie, "Your only other nickname is Dick?"
  • The line comes in response to Marie's "That is the problem with being rich!" "Rich" is a nickname for "Richard," as is the slightly less-popular "Dick". Since the second is a dirty slang term, Yakko's saying "The problem with being someone called Rich is that your other nickname is one that people will make fun of".
• What did Gigi do under the table that made the woman scream? Did she pee on her or did she knock soup over?
  • The world may never know...maybe she was bitten.
• Also, where did the Warners go after they disappeared for 22 years?
  • Probably hanging out with their "old friend" Death. And after 22 years, he got so sick of having them around, they were able to negotiate for a revival of their show! It all makes sense!
• In Warners Unbound when Odysseus encounters the Trump-esque cyclops, I'm pretty sure the cyclops is intended to be a version of Polyphemus. Can I get confirmation on that?
  • He definitely plays the same role in the story as Polyphemus, capturing Odysseus on his island (though instead of trying to eat him, he uses him as a loofa). To see if his name is Polyphemus, one needs to check the end credits.
• This is a question about "Good Warner Hunting" which has a massive twist, so I've decided to put a spoiler tag. What exactly did Chicken Boo do to the old Animaniac characters? We see them seemingly dead and stuffed, but in the end, they are revealed to be alive? If they were alive, why couldn't they move? Why did they look dead? Was them being alive just a last minute cop-out to avoid upsetting old fans?.
  • It was probably just Cartoon Physics.
• What happened to Randy Rogel and the ''Anima-nyet'' actors at the end of the titular episode after the director gets arrested for allowing a "happy go lucky tinkle dee doo dah song" to be shown on Russian television?
• Starbox is supposed to be the scout to see if the invasion of Earth is even a good idea. He seems to think it is. Why? He cannot handle a young human child who isn't even TRYING to thwart him. How, precisely, does he expect a full invasion to go?
  • It's Personal. The full float might not be able to conquer Earth, but they'll at least be able to wreak some revenge on Cindy.
  • The intro implies that they've been successful in their conquests in the past, and we're shown a pretty big fleet waiting in space for the signal. Maybe he and his scouting ship weren't as well armed as the actual fighting ships are.
• In The Bayeux Tapestry scene, why did Wakko have such a weirdly long neck as a Manticore?
• Why didn't Chicken Boo not hunt down his own enemies that turned against him in his segment episodes?
