Airdate: September 9, 1995
Previously on Animaniacs: Parody of the 'previously on' clips that were used at the beginning of serial dramas but containing clips of Animaniacs that never aired.
Opening Line: "No pain, no gain-y"- Dot
Deduces Wild: The Warners call upon Sherlock Holmes to help them with their scavenger hunt.
Rest in Pieces: Slappy and Skippy attend Walter Wolf's funeral, unaware it's another ruse to get rid of her.
U.N. Me: The Warners sing about the United Nations.
Previously On Animaniacs contains examples of:
- Bittersweet Ending: 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.
- Cold Open: Done right before the intro.
- Noodle Incident: Everything that happened in the sequence never happened in the actual series.
- Shout-Out: This basically parodies almost every live-action serial drama to date, at the time the episode airs.
Deduces Wild contains examples of:
- Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: When the Warners reveal what they have thus far in their scavenger hunt, one of which is batteries, Wakko pulls the Energizer Bunny out of his bag. The Bunny is lavender instead of pink, is wearing a light blue shirt, and the Energizer logo is not visible on the battery on his drum.
- Scavenger Hunt: The Warners are involved in one, the prize being a walk-on role in Baywatch. Holmes notices that some of the items have also been stolen by Moriarty, and he deduces that he's participating in the same scavenger hunt.
- Sherlock Homage: Natch. Although, Moriarty is replaced by "Mariachi".
- Shout-Out: One of the items picked up by the Warners is The Maltese Falcon statue.
- Skewed Priorities: When Moriarty kidnaps Watson (one of the items in the scavenger hunt is a "chubby sidekick"), the Warners go after him not to save the good doctor, but to keep Moriarty from getting that Baywatch walk-on.
- Take Our Word for It: One of the items the Warners have gathered is Marlon Brando. Wakko struggles to take him out of his Bag of Holding, but gives up and says "He's in there. Trust me."
- Take That!: Among the items in the scavenger hunt are Burt Ward's career (Wakko: "Can't find it!") and a funny episode of Bonkers.
Rest in Pieces contains examples of:
- Awkward Collar Pull: Skippy pulls on his shirt collar and gulps when it seems like Slappy is breaking her promise to be on her best behavior during Walter's funeral.
- Broken Pedestal: Not so much broken as it is cracked, but Skippy calls out his aunt Slappy for tormenting Walter while he was alive (despite having praised her for doing so seconds before learning he might be dead) and makes her promise to be on her best behavior at the funeral.
- Dramatic Irony: The audience learns that Walter isn't actually dead and that his funeral is a trap, and so does Slappy later on, but Skippy and the rest of the attendees don't know this, so Slappy's attempts to expose Walter come across to them as her making a mockery of his funeral, much to Skippy's embarrassment.
- Faking the Dead: Walter sets up a fake funeral in another attempt to get rid of Slappy, but she exposes that he was faking his own death.
- Half the Man He Used to Be: One of the traps that Sid the Squid sets at Walter's funeral is a statue with a sword that will cut Slappy in half down the middle when she stands on an X. Slappy tricks Sid into standing on the X, resulting in him being cut in half.
- Memorial for the Antagonist: Played with. Slappy and Skippy attend Walter's funeral, not knowing that Walter is faking his death as part of a plot to get rid of Slappy.
- Rule of Three: Slappy buries a bomb in Walter's coffin three times. During her eulogy, Slappy says that Walter always liked doing things in threes, whether it was mallets, anvils, or bombs.
- Shout-Out: After Skippy calls out his aunt Slappy for allegedly killing Walter, Slappy remarks that her biggest fan has turned into Perry Mason.
- Take That!: Slappy tells Skippy that cartoon characters never actually die. Well, except for Bonkers.
U.N. Me contains examples of:
- The Cameo: Squit appears on top of the flag near the end.
- Song Parody: The episode is one to "Down By The Riverside".
Closing Tower gag: "Buenos Noches!"- Yakko, Wakko, and Dot
