It’s time again for the Animanicast! Here’s episode fifty seven discussing “Of Course, You Know This Means Warners,” “Wakko’s Gizmo,” and more!
Join your hosts Joey, Nathan and Kelly in the “Animanicast!” A podcast dedicated to the classic 90’s cartoon show Animaniacs! Today’s discussion of episode 57 of Animaniacs features the Warners supporting World War II troops, Rita and Runt singing around corn, and Wakko shows off his new gizmo!
Animaniacs S01E57
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?
Of Course, You Know This Means Warners
We are treated to a cartoon from 1942 where the Warners assist at the homefront during WWII. The Warners plant a Victory Gardern, save gas, recycle things, and sing for the troops!
The hosts discuss their favorite moments from this cartoon which is reminiscent of real WWII propaganda cartoons from the 1940’s.
Up a Tree
Rita and Runt are on their way to Chicago but somehow end up in Nebraska where there’s nothing but corn and a dog that chases Rita up a tree. Rita spends the cartoon trying to get over her fear of heights while Runt talks to the dog and eats a fly.
Wakko’s Gizmo
Wakko puts a marble down a ramp, which starts a chain reaction in his Rube Goldberg machine. The machine end up squishing a whoopee cushion and Wakko laughs hysterically.
Kelly points out how this cartoon reminded her of Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. Joey agrees and talks about how his goal in life used to be getting a house like Pee Wee Herman and owning a bike as cool as Pee Wee’s.
