Oddly I’ve seen a lot of Animaniacs references recently.
So I downloaded an Animaniacs torrent to re-watch a bunch of stuff from the 90s that used to make me happy. Somehow it’s not as great as I remember. Or maybe I’m just old and miserable.
Like another comment mentioned, target age is a huge factor. To that I would add that Animaniacs went unexpected places with the humor in a way few cartoons (that I had access to) were doing. Tiny Toons by contrast was enjoyable enough but the humor was.. idk “safe” I guess?
Nations of the World was just tightly executed and clever, for one example. “A clown will not bite me und throw me in the basement” is something I still say from time to time, is another. Both stuck with me because I had that “wtflol” moment the first time I saw them. Real “bologna in our slacks” energy which was hilarious at age 12.
I preferred Freakazoid. I still watch it. the humor of that show was right up my ally. I still say "Que a couple le fromage?" and "poo gas" to this day.
My kids love Pinky and the Brain, so the target age group still seems to like them. I’d say the Looney Tunes aged fairly well from a humour perspective, although some scenes are pretty offensive in this day and age.
