Airdate: April 8th, 1994
Ragamuffins: An early short from the 1920s starring the Warner siblings. After getting kicked out of a bakery before getting the chance to eat anything, the Warners disguise themselves as pastry chefs to get their hands on some food.
Woodstock Slappy: Slappy and Skippy go to Woodstock, New York for what Slappy expects to be a quiet summer vacation.
Ragamuffins contains examples of:
- Bad Boss: The baker is one to Yakko, Wakko and Dot. Don't worry, he gets hit with Laser-Guided Karma.
- Deliberately Monochrome: Being one of the Warners' old theatrical shorts, this segment is in black and white, except for their red noses.
- Idea Bulb: Yakko gets one when he thinks up a plan to get himself, Wakko and Dot some food. Wakko promptly eats the bulb.
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Yakko uses a paintbrush to give himself, Wakko and Dot baker's outfits.
- Mime and Music-Only Cartoon: There's no dialogue. Fitting for a cartoon that's supposed to be from the 1920s.
- Shout-Out: After getting covered with icing, the Warner Siblings look like the Marx Brothers.
Woodstock Slappy contains examples of:
- Artistic License – History: A few mild examples:
- The festival wasn't actually held in the town of Woodstock, but 60 miles away in Bethel.
- Numerous references to the last half of The Vietnam War, including an incident that didn't happen until 1975.
- The Melanie Expy sings a parody of "Brand New Key", which wasn't released until 1971.
- The Cameo: Yakko, Wakko, and Dot are seen being chased by Ralph at one point. Later, Dr. Scratchensniff makes a cameo as well.
- Contrived Coincidence: Slappy's summer cottage happens to be right in the middle of where the Woodstock festival takes place.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Expies of Country Joe And The Fish, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Crocker, Melanie and The Who appear.
- Polka Dork: As a last resort to scare everyone off, Slappy whips out an accordion. Everyone promptly vamooses in terror.
- Rockers Smash Guitars: Slappy tries to drive The Who off the stage by smashing a guitar into a loudspeaker. She fails spectacularly; The Who proceed to smash all their equipment to thunderous applause.
- Shout-Out: The shot of fleeing hippies crowding onto a helicopter is a parody of a famous photo
of South Vietnamese refugees fleeing the Fall of Saigon. - The Man Is Sticking It to the Man: The parody of "I Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die Rag" sums up why so many big name bands performed at hippie music festivals like Woodstock.And it's two, four, six, what am I singin' for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a hoot;
Just pay me with lots of loot! - Totally Radical: Skippy speaks like a hippie in this short.
- Waxing Lyrical: When he and Slappy wake up to discover that Woodstock is going on outside, Skippy says, "There's something happening here. What it is ain't exactly clear." This is a reference to the song "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield.
- Who's on First?: Slappy asks the name of the band playing on stage, and Skippy answers "Who". This leads to a long conversation where Slappy remains unable to understand her nephew's answer, getting comically enraged in the process.Slappy: Skippy, what's the name of the band playing on stage?Skippy: Who.Slappy: The name of the band.Skippy: Who.Slappy: The band playing on stage.Skippy: Who!Slappy: THE BAND!Skippy: No, Aunt Slappy, THE BAND performs later, WHO is on stage!Slappy: You tell me!Skippy: Who.Slappy: The name of the band.Skippy: Who.Slappy: The band playing on stage.Skippy: Who!Slappy: THE BAND!!Skippy: No, The Band is performing later. Right now, we're listening to Who!Slappy: THAT'S WHAT I WANNA KNOW!
