i have a great brain and these two very
excellent eyes
that i can see things very well with
welcome to watch
mojo and today we're counting down our
picks for the top 10 times animaniacs
made fun of celebrities
i think there's something missing like
talent
cookies what would i do with cookies i'm
your biggest fan what do you say to that
i'd say puberty was inordinately kind to
you for this list
we're looking at the funniest jokes
about famous folk and animaniacs
who's your favorite animaniac tell us in
the comments
number 10 seth meyers hi i'm seth
myers and the reason this phase is a lot
on tv is
no one's watching anyway in the first
pinky and the brain segment of the
show's reboot
brain appears on seth meyer's talk show
after becoming an internet sensation
myers is portrayed as only being
interested in shallow goals like
chasing trends and getting a jump on the
competition i want that mouse on my show
before one of the jimmies gets him
the depiction of the late night host
goes beyond a gentle ribbing
his own coffee mug reads smug and he
seems to be overly confident in stale
jokes on current events
with an ever widening grin with a blind
wig like that
you could be president you'll get it
i'll wait
yeesh whoever wrote this episode must
have really had it out for the late
night host
number nine hillary clinton what better
way to catch up with everything that's
happened since the show's original run
than with a song
the warner siblings recap covers
everything from uber and youtube to
climate change in the iraq war
they also touch on the 2016 u.s
presidential election
showing hillary clinton striding
confidently into the race
thinking that it'll be a piece of cake
obama brought hope so clinton thought
dope 2016 should be a real breed
of course clinton found out the hard way
that winning over voters was more
difficult than obama made it look
and there's a sinister shadow that keeps
crossing her path
the animaniacs also offer a
simultaneously lighthearted yet dark
take on the fallout that came from
clinton's loss
so hillary finally broke that glass
ceiling no but it certainly does feel
like it's raining shards of glass all
around us
number eight donald trump huh
who's this loser given the 45th
president's idiosyncratic speech
patterns and relentless self-promotion
it comes as no surprise that animaniacs
took aim at him in their reboot he
arrives on the scene during a parody of
the epic poem the odyssey
where the cyclops resembles trump from
his bright orange hue to his shameless
boasting i'm very rich
i have a great brain and these two very
excellent eyes
that i can see things very well with
maurice lamarche does a good trump
impression
but at this point doesn't everybody this
would be higher on the list but having
come out in 2020 the animaniacs came
late to the party with their trump
material
number 7. vladimir putin the animaniac's
revival has also taken on president
vladimir putin and russian propaganda
when the warner siblings stumble across
a russian tv channel
they see actors playing them on a
knockoff version of animaniacs
you shame our leader by underestimating
reach of mighty russian federation
that's supposed to be me i do not look
sound or probably smell like that
oh that's what everybody says when they
see themselves on camera their
russian counterparts are kneeling and
praying to a painting of their shirtless
strongman leader
on horseback
damascus
sibs we gotta do something about these
russians while visiting the country
the real yakko wacko and dot take a tour
of shows taping in russia
which heap preys on putin including a
version of who wants to be a millionaire
and pinky in the brain
what do we accomplish tomorrow evening
rats putin same thing we accomplish all
evening mouth
support current leader and ask no
question
number six tucker carlson
how do you feel about it that's it
show's over in this episode tuck
buckerson
based on fox news host tucker carlson
hosts his own show on the
faux news channel see what they did
there the cable show
simply called tuck has over the top
graphics with
jets spelling out the show's title along
with an eagle flying and
fireworks going off in the background
that's the sugar honey iced tea baby
like tucker used to do tuck wears a bow
tie
unfortunately for tuck the guests he
booked the warner's
don't want to stick to one topic and
keep changing the subject
wonder how the real tucker would handle
such guests boy you've got
issues tuckster that's the issue number
five
albert einstein while albert einstein is
struggling to come up with the theory of
relativity in 1905
yakko wacko and dot pay him a visit and
try to sell him cookies
you wanna buy a yummy box of kid scout
cookies
cookies what would i do with cookies
this segment is full of references to
einstein from the famous photo where he
sticks out his tongue to the equation e
equals m c squared pretty good waggle
but your a
always looks like a two
[Music]
there are also some good gags such as
einstein measuring the speed of light
with a light bulb and a stopwatch and
the warner is messing up his hair with a
magnet
which pokes fun at one of einstein's
more eccentric traits
number 4. steven spielberg the executive
producer of animaniacs
spielberg is treated with great
reverence on the show
in hooked on a ceiling he was revealed
to be the pope at the end as a nice
surprise twist
i like it hey mikey
he likes it however in jurassic lark an
obvious parody of jurassic park
the writers gave him a less flattering
homage by making him the
jon hammond character these don't look
like reruns
uh well uh they're not i reanimated them
when you think it through the analogy
here is that spielberg brought back
something dangerous
something that should have remained in
the past well you know what
we're glad he did where are they going
home
welcome to animaniacs number three
jerry lewis mr director acts like a big
shot until something excites him or sets
him off
whereupon his jerry lewis voice breaks
out the voice is so loud and goofy it's
fun to hear voice actor paul rugg do his
imitation when playing the character
don't win the hitting i'll
see now that's funny you kids do it just
like that
all right morty roll it mr director is
more of an homage than he is a parody of
jerry lewis
because he was deliberately silly to
begin with
was his name oh
i ate a bug cut cut a bug i ate with
little wings
another animaniac's character that has
the jerry lewis voice is the clown from
the clown and out episode
sent to perform for wacko oh for the boy
make a surprise i just love making a
surprise
number 2. william shatner with his
stilted dramatic manner of delivering
lines
william shatner is a magnet for
impressions and of course
animaniacs couldn't let such an
opportunity go oh
yes sir three bags full
i think there's something missing like
talent in this episode
willie slackmer who's based on shatner
has signed up for a children's karaoke
event
more than 80 times keeping anyone else
from going on
after him looks like an election ballot
from chile during his set
slacker takes a spoken word approach to
children's songs like baba black sheep
and john jacob jingleheimer schmidt
whenever we go out the people always
shout
there goes john jacob jingleheimer
schmidt
it recalls the bizarre way shatner
performed rocketman
at the 1978 saturn awards brings me back
again to find
out not the man they think i am
back
before we unveil our top pick here are
some honorable mentions
jaypak this rapper's name is a composite
of jay-z
and tupac i dropped more plastic than
the broken mannequin
i got more force than a boy named anakin
dolly parton the innuendo is not so
subtle
i'm your biggest fan what do you say to
that i'd say
puberty was inordinately kind to you
zack snyder
for his distinct style the director was
called out by name
hey zack snyder it's a seven minute
segment
moving along wayne lapierre the
bun nut is based on the nra's executive
vice president
you can't do this to me i'm a
responsible burn owner
i'm proving to the world we all have a
right
to bare buns not here this is a kids
show

number one bill clinton having served as
u.s president throughout most of the 90s
bill clinton was the subject of a few
animaniacs political jabs
but the reference to clinton that comes
to most fans minds is him
wailing on the saxophone for the intro
in the show's first season
referencing a talent that he has in real
life
during the catch-up song the warners
bring back the reference when they show
they've got to move on from the 90s
with clinton emerging from a fountain
where the warners were reenacting the
opening to friends
