Animaniacs S01E39 Smitten with Kittens/Alas, Poor Skullhead/White Gloves
Each and every week, your hosts revisit an episode of the series in the order in which they first premiered. They discuss their favorite jokes, gags, and discuss all the cultural references they can find! Each episode is then given a “Water Tower Rating” by the hosts. How many water towers will this episode get? This thirty-ninth episode features Rita and Runt taking care of cute kittens, Yakko recites a scene from Hamlet, and Wakko’s gloves go on an adventure.
Smitten With Kittens
Rita and Runt come across some kittens in a restaurant alleyway. Rita must decide whether she will take care of these kittens, or keep her independence as a “career cat.”
The hosts discuss references to mothers from television, Rita’s existential crisis, and Cher’s butt in this cute Rita and Runt cartoon.
Alas, Poor Skullhead
Yakko recites one of Hamlet’s monologues while Dot translates for us.
Jordan from “Jordan Asks What’s News With You” comes to discuss Hamlet and whether or not Dot does a good job of translating Shakespeare.
White Gloves
Wakko’s gloves run away and go on an adventure. They become famous, get arrested, and eventually find their way back home to Wakko.
The hosts discuss a couple of amusing moments and connections to cartoons from the past where inanimate objects come to life.
