Animaniacs: the original episode 66 (1994)

In 1994, WB released a "episode 66" of Animaniacs exclusively on VHS.

Intro

The intro is only sung by Dot and no one else. As a result, the lyric "Dot is cute" is replaced with "I am cute" and the line "Come join the Warner brothers" isn't sung at all.

The theme song line is: "We're animanie, totally insaney, Slappy's painy, Animaniacs!" This line is not used in any episodes and the footage shows a grumpy Slappy Squirrel in her chair.

Pinky and the Brain: Genienapping

It then cuts to the Pinky and the Brain theme, once again only sung by Dot.

This is weird, Animaniacs doesn't usually start with a PATB sketch.

The sketch starts with Pinky and the Brain going into a girl's bedroom and stealing a genie bottle. They try to take it with them, but it's too heavy, so they briefly go back to ACME Labs to get a mouse-sized wagon. Despite it still being heavy, they somehow manage to steal the genie bottle.

Back at ACME Labs, Pinky and the Brain rub the bottle, and out come two genies: Shimmer and Shine.

Brain asks the genies to help him and Pinky take over the world, but the genies refuse, stating they will only grant wishes for Leah, the rightful owner of the genie bottle.

However, Pinky (who is somehow smart right now) tells the genies that he and Brain rubbed the bottle, which means they're their masters now.

Brain, infuriated that the genies don't know their own law, locks the genies up in a cage.

He also locks the genie bottle in a cupboard because Leah might come to ACME Labs.

Brain then gives the key to Wakko, who, along with Yakko and Dot, apparently owns ACME Labs.

Wakko tells Brain that he keeps bribing the government to keep ACME Labs open despite Pinky and the Brain being dangerous, as Animaniacs would have to be cancelled if it was shut down.

Leah then breaks into ACME Labs and demands her genies back, but Brain says she lost them to him and Pinky, so she violently assaults Wakko and gets the key from him.

Leah rubs the genie bottle and gets her genies back, and Pinky and the Brain's plans are once again foiled.

The Warners: Wakko Goes to the Doctor (part 1)

We then cut to a Warners sketch.

Wakko tells Yakko and Dot then he was beaten up by a little girl because he tried to show her who's boss, so they decide to go to the studio lot's doctor.

However, the doctor says that Wakko is terribly ill and might die soon.

Yakko and Dot get really scared.

The doctor says that, after getting beaten up, Wakko got a severe case of ink loss.

After all, Wakko is a cartoon character, who was created at the Warner studios in 1930.

The doctor tells the Warners to leave and that he can't help Wakko.

Extremely sad, the Warners return to the water tower.

Dot tells Ralph the guard: "Wakko is dying, please lock us up forever!"

This is extremely strange. The Warners would NEVER ask Ralph to shut the door for good!

However, Ralph listens to Dot's request, and he shuts the door.

It then fades to black.

Slappy Squirrel: Slappy eats the Brain

We then cut to the Slappy intro, even though, once again, only Dot is singing it.

It's extremely weird that the Warners are even there, because they were locked up permanently.

The sketch randomly starts as Slappy arrives at ACME Labs, with the door wide open.

Brain tells Slappy that she's not welcome and forces her to scram.

Slappy, however, refuses to listen to Brain's demands.

Slappy says "Fuck that! You only care about yourself and your idiot friend!"

She then points to the cage where Pinky and the Brain locked up Shimmer and Shine.

Pinky says: "We're screwed."

Slappy grabs Pinky and places him back in the mouse cage, but decides to eat the Brain.

Brain tries to escape, but it's no use: Slappy is much larger than him.

Slappy tells Brain, who is now swallowed and dead, that he deserves it and to never steal from little girls again.

Dot then sings: "Slappy ate the Brain and now he's in pain, pain, pain, pain, pain!" Before zooming out of ACME Labs.

The Warners: Goodbye Wakko (part 2)

A continuation of "Wakko goes to the Doctor" then starts.

It's been weeks since the Warners last caused mayhem.

The studio lot had become extremely quiet, with nobody in sight.

Suddenly, Dot sees that Wakko is almost out of ink.

Yakko decides that there's nothing they can do to save their brother, and to lay Wakko to rest.

Dot asks Ralph to unlock the tower one final time so that they can send Wakko to the cemetery.

Ralph agrees, but tells Dot that the permanent confinement will continue upon her and Yakko's return.

At the cemetery, Pinky, Slappy, Skippy, the Goodfeathers, Buttons, Mindy, Rita and Runt (but not Brain, because Slappy ate him) are gathered around Wakko's grave.

The grave says "RIP Wakko 1930-1994"

Yakko and Dot are solemly looking into the grave, which soon overflows with their tears.

Pinky asks if they will host a funeral for the Brain, but Yakko refuses, telling him that he and Dot will be sent back to the water tower once the funeral is over.

Everyone then leaves the cemetery.

Yakko looks back at Wakko's grave and says "So long, brother!"

End credits

During the credits, there are 2 weird messages: "In loving memory of Wakko Warner, 1930-1994" and "NOT in loving memory of the Brain, ????-1994".

The ending gag shows nothing but a crying Yakko and Dot, as well as Pinky, who Yakko kicks from the tower.
