The hosts of the Animanicast discuss episode 86 of Animaniacs. The Warners get disingenuous, Buttons saves Mindy from zombies and Wakko can’t stop hiccuping!
A Very Very Very Very Special Show
The Warners try to win a humanitarian award by giving as many environmental and health conscious messages as they can in a cartoon. Unfortunately it doesn’t work out for them and they act worse than ever! The hosts discuss their favorite moments and how nineties culture became environmentally conscious with shows like “Captain Planet” and movies like “Fern Gully.”
Night of the Living Buttons
Mindy and Buttons run through a cemetary full of zombies and Buttons needs to defend Mindy from each one of them. This is a cartoon that breaks the mold of a typical Mindy and Buttons cartoon and has a ending that’s really a “thriller!” The hosts discuss their favorite moments and a very obscure reference of “kiss the frog baby.”
Soda Jerk
Wakko drinks a milkshake sundae too quickly and can’t get rid of his hiccups! The Warners take Wakko all over the world looking for a cure until Wakko’s performance anxiety takes care of the problem at a convention of physicians. The hosts discuss their own hiccup cures and how this cartoon is a similar to a previous Animaniacs cartoon.
