Trivia:

Many different last lines were used for the show's theme song. The most frequent was "Here's the show's name-y", but others include "Shirley MacLaine-y", "Citizen Kane-y", "Tarzan and Jane-y", "Pinky and the Brain-ey", "Come back Shane-y," "Where's Lon Chaney?" and "Dana Delany." (When shown on Nicktoons TV, however, the line is always "Nickilaney").

Quotes:

Yakko, Wakko & Dot: [singing] We're from Sal Monella's coffee shop/Eat our food and you're bound to drop/Then the only thing that's left to do/Head to the potty and spew spew spew!/Sal Monella's!

This is one funny show

I used to love Animaniacs when I was younger. The animation, voice work, and music are all great. The humor is very funny in a smart way, it isn't a stupid show like many other kids shows that are released today. There are plenty of adult jokes that will entertain the adults who are watching the show with their kids.

The characters in this show are all very unique and make the show worth watching. Two very famous characters, Pinky and the Brain, had their own spin off show after-wards. Pinky and the Brain are two lab rats who are always trying to take over the world.

This was a great show, it's a shame that many adults thought it was only for kids, because there really were plenty of jokes for the adults.

If you ever get to see this show, watch it all the way to the end. It is very funny.
