History Funny / Animaniacs

*** A FreezeFrameBonus: the name of the Instagram parody? "Instagra-tification".

-->'''Offscreen voice:''' Here's your check for the ''Animaniacs'' reboot, you sellouts.

-->'''Dot:''' 22 years later and I'm ''still'' a knockout.

-->'''Yakko:''' ''(in Wakko and Dot's arms)'' Quantum mechanics... quinoa wraps... [[Music/{{Beyonce}} Queen Bey]]... we've missed so much!

-->'''Pinky:''' WHEEEEE! FOAM PARTY!

** The new CEO shows the siblings a tablet and explains that it contains all human knowledge. Clearly the Warners are not caught up with today's technology; Yakko thinks that she means tablet = pill, so what does he do? Gets a glass of water ''and swallows the tablet,'' and proceeds to get shocked.

-->'''Pinky:''' FOAM PARTY! (laughs manically)

* Pinky is complaining about how he's always getting catfished, and has no idea if any potential dates of his are real. It turns out this prospect is an [[ExactWords actual catfish]]. Brain can only facepalm at this.

** While the Warners are prepping their first lines, he constantly interrupts Dot before she can make a suggestion. She gets so mad that she pulls out a hammer and smashes her brothers.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh_vASjvYQE The first scene]] shown at the virtual NYCC event, and also the ColdOpening to the very first episode of the revival: a ''spot-on'' spoof of the iconic "Welcome to Film/JurassicPark" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJlmYh27MHg scene,]] complete with Music/John Williams[='s=] score. With Creator/StevenSpielberg replacing John Hammond, and the Warners replacing the dinosaurs.

--> '''Skippy:''' Who cares. [[AnvilOnHead Anvils are funny]].

* The "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79kr6ha6pnA Buttermilk Commercial]]" sketch that parodied the 80s "Milk..It Does A Body Good" ad campaign. After being snubed by a arrogant bodybuilder, a younger version of Slappy ages from drinking buttermilk to the point that she is now cranky and bad tempered enough to take vengeance on the man. She then proceeds to blow him and announcer up on the spot.

* Just about ''all'' of [[BizarroEpisode "Animaniacs Stew"]], due to the placing of multiple characters in place of other characters (i.e. Pesto taking Rita's place in a Rita and Runt sketch), but special mention goes to 'Pinky and the Cat'. The entire segment is an opening theme, four lines of dialogue, and a closing theme, with any actual plot being cut short by, well, exactly what you'd think would happen if you put a lab rat and a hungry stray cat in the same cage.

* When Dot has her ink blot test
-->'''Doctor''': "I am going to show you some pictures and I want you to tell me what they look like *shows ink blot* what do you say to this?"
-->'''Dot''': "I'd say you're not a very good artist"
-->'''Doctor''': "I didn't draw that"
-->'''Dot''': "Well, whoever did, needs to go back to school"
-->'''Doctor''': "No, it's an inkblot"
-->'''Dot''': "I'll say"
-->'''Doctor''': "No, no, no. It's not ''supposed'' to look like ''anything''"
-->'''Dot''': "Then you did a very good job"
-->'''Doctor (shouting)''': "I didn't draw it! (normal voice) Doesn't it look like a little kitty cat or a butterfly or something?"
-->'''Dot (getting up from her chair)''': "No" (somehow takes the blot right off the sign and turns it into a butterfly in her hands) "That's a butterfly"
* This line in the Monkey Song
--> We're not monkeys, we're just cuckoo.
* The loudmouthed titular characters in "Survey Ladies," who [[{{Determinator}} never stop trying]] to get the Warners to answer their questions. "WOULDJA LIKE TAH TAKE A SURRR-VAAY?"
-->'''Yakko:''' "Would you like to take a ''hike''?"
** Even better is the fact that the whole survey centers on beans and George Wendt (another reference that [[ParentalBonus was pretty much designed to go over kids' heads]]) in endless combinations. "Do you eat beans?" Would you like to see a new movie starring George Wendt?" "Would you like to see George Wendt in a bean-eating movie?" "How many bean-eating movies have you seen with George Wendt?" "How many beans do you eat at George Wendt bean-eating movies?"
* Check out the head shape of Dracula when he screamed upon seeing the Warners in his coffin in "Draculee, Dracula". He looks like Bart Simpson! Why, he sounds almost like him when he screamed!

-->'''Skippy:''' No Aunt Slappy, Yes isn't even at this concert. Right now, we're listening to Who.

-->'''Slappy:''' Oh, so the name of the band is [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Music/YES Yes?]]

-->'''Slappy:''' Oh, so the name of the band is [[Music/YES Yes?]]

** The ShoutOut to WhosOnFirst, using ''completely accurate band names'' [[GeniusBonus of both the era]] [[ShownTheirWork and who played at Woodstock]]. Even [[TheWho Roger Daltrey]] [[ActuallyPrettyFunny finds it funny]].

-->'''Slappy:''' Oh, so the name of the band is [[Music/Yes Yes?]]

** I mean seriously, besides the HurricaneOfPuns, the mere fact a 90s kids cartoon even ''had'' a UsefulNotes/{{Woodstock}} episode is notable.
** Woodstock? How about the fact that the above HurricaneOfPuns was also a ShoutOut to WhosOnFirst, a comedy routine that was famous 20 years ''before'' Woodstock?
