@BestGirlGrace eating a foil sandwich was also a great line. Pinky and the Brain carried the season I think
animaniacs (2020)
@wilbr I agree, they had way more hits than the Warners, which really drives home that they can't really carry an episode on their own.
animaniacs (2020)
@BestGirlGrace I was always confused by the show as a kid because I kept waiting for them to do a typical Looney Tunes sketch in character, but it seems like they're more just zany hosts of their own reality-ish show and a vehicle for shorts that are more free-form and meta than Looney or Disney

@BestGirlGrace now that we have gay cartoons, we have evolved beyond the need for straight ones
re: animaniacs (2020)
@BestGirlGrace Things like this are why I don't watch most 'straight' coded media anymore. It has no interest in people like us, so we have no reason to be interested in it either.
(I also add a special dishonor to media that tries to be gay but fails because they couldn't consult any gay people and have some awkward straight cis-dudes trying to imagine (and failing) what gay plots are supposed to be...)
re: animaniacs (2020)
@BestGirlGrace in retrospect the original was a lot of straight lib shit too
re: animaniacs (2020)
@KitRedgrave yeah, that's a fair point
