* JerkassGods: In the second episode, the Warners take on the roles of the Greek gods. All three Warner siblings use their godly powers to smite people with reckless abandon, just for vandalizing their statues, doing it so often that they start developing carpel tunnel from it. They also go out of their way to try and torture Odysseus after he splashes water all of them while they were on vacation, though, [[KickTheSonOfABitch he had it coming]].

On January 4, 2018, Creator/{{Hulu}} picked up the streaming rights for the original ''Animaniacs'', ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'', and ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' while ordering two new seasons of ''Animaniacs'' direct to series. The revival's first thirteen-episode season premiered on November 20, 2020, with the Warner Siblings and the fan favorite Pinky and the Brain returning as the two main recurring segments. On February 25, 2021, before the second season had even been released, the show was greenlit for a third season. The second season was released on November 5, 2021. [[https://twitter.com/TheAnimaniacs/status/1601636415598518272 A trailer released on December 10, 2022,]] has revealed that the third and final season will be released on February 17, 2023.

* EscapeFromHell: Nils ended up in Hell at the end of his debut episode, but escapes offscreen to return in the season finale.

* LatexPerfection: In "Good Warner Hunting", [[spoiler:in contrast to his {{Paper Thin Disguise}}s from the original series, Chicken Boo's disguise as a hunter is amazingly good]].

* LikeABadassOutOfHell: Nils ended up in Hell at the end of his debut episode, but escapes offscreen to return in the season finale.

* RocksFallEveryoneDies: [[spoiler: The series finale where a giant meteor crashes into Earth ''killing'' everyone. Arguably as cartoon characters its meant to be played for laughs, but many fans found it to be anti-climactic and a dour ending for the show.]]

** Wakko mentions during "WARnerGAMES" something about a "[[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot spinning cartoon bandicoot]]." Jess Harnell provides the voice for ''Crash Bandicoot'' in several games of that franchise.

** The Warners entering the Bayeux Tapestry causes a small one, making them--and the other characters on it--look like a tapestry come to life.

* BaitAndSwitchComparison: While stuck in a GroundhogDayLoop, Brain notes that his siuation is like "that awful repititive Creator/BillMurray film [...] with that surly protagonist who somehow learns to 'change and grow' as a charatcer after an endless array of monotonous scenes." He then reveals he wasn't talking about ''Film/GroundhogDay'', but ''[[Film/{{Garfield}} Garfield: The Movie]]''.

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:The final scene of the reboot involves the Warners acknowledging that with no word on another season, there is a good chance their renewed show has come to an end. [[ShootTheShaggyDog The fact that a giant meteor is about to pretty much kill everyone does help matters at all]].]]

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:The final scene of the reboot involves the Warners being killed off, since the show is ending.]]

** Compare the cameos of side characters in "Good Warner Hunting" to later appearances in the show. Its clear the "Good Warner Hunting" characters are almost traced exactly off model sheets from 1993 (seemingly pulled straight from the Animaniacs Wiki of all places), where as the later appearances of [[spoiler: Slappy Squirrel and Minerva Mink]] in Season 3 have fully updated designs matching the more angular style of the revival.

** The two-parter episode "WARnerGAMES" in Season 3 has the Warners becoming playable characters in Wakko's video game, ''Brawl and Bash Siblings'', which is a reference to the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series of video games (''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', specifically). There are even parodies of [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong and Bowser]] -- the Spanish carpenter sisters Maria and Luisa, Jackass Monkey, and Beastwipe.

** "Island of Dr. Warnerau" recreates the Warner's first meeting with Dr. Scratchansniff in the original series, but from the perspective of his brother Jorgen.
