Streaming Theater: Why Wakko Warner?
Thursday, February 18th, 2010
The best library companions ever! Or, the worst, depending on how you look at it.
I’ve made no secret that I’m a huge fan of Animaniacs. In fact, in my office here at the ManWithPez Central, the siblings sit next to some of my leatherbound books. I love my leathers, and I keep Wakko, Yakko, and Dot on the same level. I honestly believe that it was one of the funniest cartoons ever made. Actually, I still believe that. Wakko was always my favorite, mostly because he’s completely different from his brother and sister, and not just because he has a completely different accent from them. He thinks, acts, and genuinely is apart from them in every way. In a very good, very funny way. Watch some Wakko with me after the jump, won’t you?
Here’s his best known video, and I should say up front that Warner Brothers does NOT like their stuff being up on YouTube, so I’d go ahead and watch this at the earliest oppurtunity, because it may be gone tomorrow. Here’s Wakko’s America:
However, this next video of Wakko’s is one of my personal favorites, and a lot of other people’s judging by some of the comments I’ve found about it. The title speaks for itself, and might I add that ThatCostumeGirl gave me a tshirt with the title of this particular short emblazoned across the front of it for Christmas. Here’s Potty Emergency!
And, one more before I go. My favorite one, specifically because from it’s start, you have absolutely no idea where it’s headed. The conclusion is actually surprising, but this short goes a long way in demonstrating just how weird the middle Warner sibling is. Here’s Wakko’s Gizmo, and please, stick around for the end. It’s only a 4 minute short anyways!
There you go! Three videos about one of my favorite cartoon characters of all time, Wakko Warner! So, watch the videos, make a gookie, and practice your 50 states and their capitals. You never know when you’ll need such talents!
