This one is on this list because this whole bit is one big Hollywood In-joke that took over two decades (and the advent of the internet) to pay off to most of the audience, directly over the heads of children, almost like a ticking time-bomb of animated comedy. The segment is so iconic that not only was it parodied throughout the series and is referenced in the new episodes, but it also has been updated and performed by Yakko’s original voice actor, Rob Paulson, on his podcast and at comic-con events. The song, set to an already familiar tune, is incredibly catchy though most people who sung along would usually trail out after a few lines. To recap what I’m sure is already playing in your head, Yakko, for no particular reason whatsoever, just starts singing the countries of the world while pointing them out on a map. This song that originally aired in the second episode of the series helped put Animaniacs on the map. To have this one on this list is an absolute cliche, but it’s a cliche for a reason. There are so many classic moments, ones that other fans might put on their list time and time again, so if you don’t see yours listed here that doesn’t mean it's not good or a classic moment and we’d definitely love to hear about it! The original series is currently streaming on Hulu along with the new reboot series, and I’ve conveniently included links to each episode on this list! They may have been instant classics, or some jokes that took some time that my parents might have got when they originally aired. To celebrate today’s release of the first new episodes of Animaniacs in 22 years that debuted on Hulu, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite moments from the original series.
