I've never had older siblings but I heard plenty of stories from friends about their older sisters (maybe their metrosexual older brothers I don't loving know) melting down because they couldn't get their hair to flip a certain way before school.

Not once in all the years I've been thinking about Katie Kaboom (at least three times daily) did this ever occur to me. It always just felt like one of the writers was trying to do a Kevin and Perry thing.

Yeah, I think I'm looking forward to how they update Pinky & The Brain to modern times the most. Should be great!

I hope they continue to slip in some oddball industry humor -- jokes about contracts, Variety, and Hollywood accounting (oh wait, that was Freakazoid). And they better do a bunch of catchy songs.

This reminds me of the episode of Pinky and the Brain where their plot was to make a highly successful kids show then dissappear at its hight of popularity by cryogenicly freezing themselves. The idea was in the future the kids would be adults and, because they loved the show and characters so much, gladly raise Pinky and The Brain to unquestioned dictators. When they woke up in the future all they found were stunted baby-adults who couldn't function because of their obsession with a children's show.

yakko and wakko will begin to say "hello n-" and dot will stop them in some humorous fashion because quite frankly that joke would be problematic in this day and age.

A Wiki posted:She states in Wakko's Wish that she has a "mean IQ of 192" (HellOOOOO Brain!). In later characterizations, she thinks that she is respected only for her looks and not her mind. However, in a song about her, both Wakko and Yakko seem to show that they greatly respect her for her mind, but also love her for her looks quite a lot too. Hello N-word is a classy smart lady.

Tom Gorman posted:yeah its great You say this, and then link an opening sequence that is just horribly stale and sterile compared to anything it is pulling from. The cover of the theme song is uninspired pop-drivel that comes nowhere near the unbridled joy of the original. The animation is like something from a mid-2000s Newgrounds flash project and the scenes literally cribbed from Carl Barks have absolutely none of the charm, warmth or style of the originals. I just don't believe it. I don't even have any particular hard-on for the original Duck Tales, this just presents as something that exists solely to exploit the nostalgia of people who grew up on that cartoon that now have children of their own.

Blue Train posted:If you think the theme song is bad wait until you see the mark duckerberg character I'm fine with contemporary pop cultural references. It's not something these shows - Duck Tales, Animaniacs, etc - ever shied away from, and it makes sense because you are talking about a show for children who will be exposed tangentially to those cultural staples.

The idea was in the future the kids would be adults and, because they loved the show and characters so much, gladly raise Pinky and The Brain to unquestioned dictators. This, and the "Please Get a Life Foundation" were the first potshots I recall a (kids) TV show taking at obsessed nerds. (Whereas something like Saved by the Bell would just have their "laugh at the nerds" gags be limited to featuring odd guys with high-pitched voices in sweaters and thick glasses.) If they were willing to take those shots back in the day, fingers crossed that they'd be willing to step up to the line and push a bit at today's world. Along those lines: yogizh posted:Maybe this year won't suck as much. When it was announced that Animaniacs was returning, my response to the one who first posted it on Twitter was that it'd be great to have the Warner siblings come back in an era of Trump and SJWs and safe spaces and give all of them a good tweaking. Going further on that, add in mass social media, kids who aspire to make careers out of being YouTube content makers (and what those makers are willing to do to get views), and all the rampant narcissism those two things enable and encourage...and so on. I'd say the worse the era gets, the better the comedy could be if the creatives are brave enough to get out there and take the relevant shots; Disney's crew took World War II and gave us Der Furher's Face. (Of course, Animaniacs itself did its own great stuff in the Clinton era of unprecedented peace and prosperity, so it could also be that going on-the-nose with the wilder aspects of our times will be kind of like when the recent Looney Tunes Show reboot had Bugs and Daffy dealing with cellphones and addictions to online shopping and freemium-grind mobile games: accurate humour and yet so very odd seeing those characters dealing with stuff like *that*.)

I loved Animaniacs and Tiny Toons as a kid but tried watching both of them recently and they don’t hold up, not even in an “indulging in nostalgia” way. We remember them as being edgy and clever but as an adult you can clearly see how calculated the edginess really was. Pop culture/current event references as springboards for jokes or in place of jokes were major elements of both shows, which was fresh at the time but is obviously very tired now. Also someone asked how the new Hey Arnold jungle movie was. I watched it and it’s... totally fine, but it does absolutely nothing to justify its existence. The upcoming Rocko’s Modern Life Film’s trailer is just a bunch of “lol smartphones” jokes so I wouldn’t count on it being anything more than more filler.
