Release date: November 20, 2020
Opening line: (Dot) "May cause eye strain-y!"
Anima-Nyet: After discovering a bootleg version of their show on TV, the Warners head to Russia to complain.
Babysitter's Flub: Brain must battle a toddler who has swallowed a meteorite necessary for his plan.
The Warners' Press Conference: The Warners have a press conference about the episode.
Tropes found in "Anima-Nyet":
- Achievements in Ignorance: Wakko thinks he can time travel by microwaving the TV remote and using the fast forward and rewind buttons. Instead, he's somehow allowed their TV to view channels from other countries... and planets.
- Added Alliterative Appeal:
- When the Warners confront the director of the Russian ripoff of their show:
Dot: We order you to stop this sexist, stupid, sad sack meta-satire at once!- Pinky's counterpart in the Russian knockoff of Pinky and the Brain is named Moron Mouse.
- Calling Me a Logarithm: When the Russian Yakko calls himself an "ignorant plebeian," Yakko takes offense to that, not even knowing what it means.
- Chained to a Rock: Original Animaniacs writer Randy Rogel (who wrote such hits as "Yakko's World", "Wakko's America", "I'm Cute", "I'm Mad" and many others) is chained to a ball being held prisoner by the Kremlin.
- Commie Land: Russia is portrayed as a caricature of Soviet Russia, impoverished, eternally cold, leader-worshipping, with hammer and sickle symbols all around, though there are references to President Putin and oligarchs. Yakko hangs a lampshade on this, saying that Russia is "exactly like in the movies".
- Human Mail: The Warners mail themselves to Russia in order to shut down "Anima-Nyet".
- Insistent Terminology: Yakko would like to remind you that his slacks are smoky topaz, not tan.
- Mockbuster: The Warners discover that Russia has created a knockoff version of Animaniacs. They later find Russian ripoffs of Pinky and The Brain, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and Master Chef.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: There is a jab at Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro through a game show parodying the Venezuelan economic crisis.
- Straw Misogynist: The director of the Russian Animaniacs, who thinks the joke involving "Hello Female Medical Professional" is that women aren't smart enough to be one. This really provokes Dot to try and smash the director, and even Yakko and Wakko look furious.
- Take That!:
- It's a seven-minute dig at Russia, treating it as if it's Soviet Russia in all but name. In doing so, they also take a few jabs at Donald Trump.
- The short segment parodying Venezuela frames Nicolas Maduro being the host of a The Price Is Right-like show, while mocking the severe inflation Venezuela is suffering during the Chavismo regime. According to Maduro, the retail price of a kilogram of corn is 317,000,000 bolivares - at least before the price went up in real life as of this edit (November 24, 2020), the money is worth roughly $370 American dollars.
- Spotting a bunch of Russians spying on them, Yakko says that only the NSA is allowed to do that.
Tropes found in "Babysitter's Flub":
- Commercial Break Cliffhanger: The first half of the segment ends with Brain crashing into a bookshelf which falls over. When we come back from the ads, Brain emerges from the fallen bookshelf.
- Flashed-Badge Hijack: Parodied when Brain pulls this with a doll and a toy car.”Excuse me, ma’am, I must commandeer your vehicle. Official mouse business.”
- Free-Range Children: Although secure in the daycare center, the caretakers had evidently taken an extremely long lunch and left the children unsupervised.
- Mind over Matter: The toddler who swallows the quantium meteorite before Brain can get to it develops telekinetic abilities.
- Shout-Out: The title is a reference to The Babysitters Club.
- Social Media Before Reason: At the end, when a little girl gained telekinetic powers, the caretakers are too absorbed by their phones to even notice.
- Technicolor Magic: Quantium is purple, and the kids' telekinesis is accompanied by purple flashes.
- Techno Babble: Brain's plan is heavy with it, even for his standards. On the other hand, Averted with Brain's "lullaby" near the end of the episode, which includes a correct description of momentum and Brownian motion (if incomplete, due to time constraints).
- Unobtainium: For his plan, Brain seeks an incredibly rare element to power his gravity manipulating device. Unfortunately, the sample he finds is swallowed by a kid, which grants him telekinetic powers.
Tropes found in "The Warners' Press Conference":
- Crawl: One is seen on the bottom of the screen, listing out various silly things.
- Entertainingly Wrong: Yakko flat out admitted as such about the "Anima-Nyet" portrayal of Russia.
- "Help! Help! Trapped in Title Factory!": Poked fun at with the crawl.
- Instant Costume Change: Every time the camera is focused on Yakko, he's wearing something else, very likely a reference to Groucho Marx at the end of Duck Soup.
- Overly Narrow Superlative: One of the crawls says that Wakko's Wish is the highest grossest Animaniacs film of 1999, which couldn't be more narrow if it tried.
- Saying Too Much: Dot confirms that a Season 2 of the reboot is in the works. She teases what's in store before security shows up to end the conference.
- The Unreveal: Just what was Steven Spielberg's home phone number?
