Damn, I was just walking about Animaniacs with a Co-working, that the show (and it's writers) were lightyears ahead of it's time.
ExcuseMeButIFeelLikeYouNeedTheSauce
Now I want to see Deadpool refer to the Animaniacs as his inspiration for breaking the 4th wall.

Hellooooooooooo nurse!

As a teen in the 90's, I still think that Animaniacs was really meant for teens and college students. Kids just paid the bills.
plainoldfool
I got stoked when I found out Animaniacs is on Netflix and got excited to introduce it my very young kids. I watched an episode by (1)
plainoldfool
myself for nostalgia sake. Yeah, I'm going to wait until they are a little older.
peachesforme
I just rewatched it with my nephews. the adult stuff goes way over their heads. they love the silly shit
Sitraka
I don't get it ....giing a bird is a sexual thing ??
targren
No, "giving the bird" is slang for sticking up your middle finger - a rude gesture in the U.S. (among other places)
Sauroctonus
I was assuming she wanted Dot as a hostage, as "bird" here can be slang for a woman.
targren
IIRC, it was a statue and that episode was sending up "The Maltese Falcon."
Sitraka
...ho never hard it before but TIL something thanks to you so thank you and if u want i can give you a bird lol
Ditavi
This joke was way dirtier on spanish

That show was FULL of stuff for adults. Great show, totally operated on two different levels the whole time.

Heard what? Is there something important about the bird that I never heard?
Bobbyr
Now, I want you to conjugate with me!
Coyce
Non native English speaker. Does "giving someone the bird" means getting a hand job?
rshini
the bird is slang for a vulgar gesture in the US (rising the middle finger with the rest tucked into the palm), also known as the finger 1/2
rshini
the 'hawaiian good luck charm' (used to fool vietcon guards to spoil their propaganda films), and flipping someone off - it means "Fuck you"
Coyce
Flipping someone off I knew. Thanks for clarifying :)

Fun fact: The writers peppered the scripts with raunchy jokes so the censors would take them out and miss the more subtle jokes like this.
pandro
South Park creators said every time a sketch in their movie was bounced by the censor, they would make it worse and send it in again.
E1Tmp
Another fun fact: the technique was widely used in Soviet Union to get important cultural bits on the screen past through the censorship.
strawberrycocoa
Would this really have gotten censored though? I mean, they had Hello Nurse as a character.
itsybitsyspider
Apparently Nostalgia Critic had an interview with some of the former cast of the show. Despite the cringe attempt at humor, they did --
itsybitsyspider
-- that is what they did to get those jokes past censorship.

The minx was better then the nurse in my opinion...

Minx isn't wrong here
Snooj
Maybe. Censors are unpredictable. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqDX55kyA9M
mratio
As in that said restricted playback in your area?
Snooj
No, it's a clip about censorship, but apparently a few people can't view it. So meta.
thatguy1943
Can I get a TL;DW?
Snooj
No. It's pretty funny, invest the five minutes.
Snooj
I like how I'm getting downvoted because I refuse to type out a summary of a five minute YouTube video. How precious is your time?
Saedynn
Ironically, it was taken down for copyright, the censorship has been censored
flakingnapstich
Only because the censors got distracted by the never-aired character, "Humpta the Hyena." She was rather... Aggressive romantically.
CyberAkuma
Is this real or just a joke?
Mikeiller
Can't it be real and still be a joke?
flakingnapstich
I'm joking.
flakingnapstich
What would have been her introduction skit involved Humpta flying to Uranus.

Family show then sexy minx.

Well, hellooooooo, nurse!
SocoFox

smashpro1
I can't deny being attracted to her.
SocoFox
Well, she was used less in later episodes because she was a little too "risque" for even the out-there adult stuff in that show.
YouHaventLivedaDayIfYouHaventLaughed
Well everybody's heard about the bird. Well the bird is a word.
DatAsianGuyOfTheBrownVariety
I still don't get it - what are they referring to by "bird"?
Midwinters
Middle finger pretty much
smashpro1
And also a literal bird.

I just love how much shit they used to get away with in kids TV shows and cartoons.
quicksilver1
They still do
dokpsy
A lot flew under the radar just because it looks innocent on paper. Best example is the finger prints scene
Hopefulyetdoubtful
Finger prints as opposed to singer prince? My friend doesn't understand someone explain please
Hopefulyetdoubtful
Okay nvm I just figured it out for my friend lol
dokpsy
Glad your friend gets it.
railgap
Animaniacs really was different for its time tho. It stood out even to jaded fans of animation and cartoons.

Freakazoid
rshini
Freakazoid isn't considered as good, lot of dated jokes and save for a few memetic stuff lot of it fell flat on it's face.
Silentshaper
Used to? They still do it just watch adventure time or gravity falls
WhiteningMcClean
Yeah, no. Censors have gotten stricter. Imagine Finn pulling out a legit gun like they used to do all the time on Tom and Jerry
IReactToCommentsInMemesAndGifs
Yeah, no. We're talking about innuendo here, not violence. JUST WATCH ADVENTURE TIME. https://youtu.be/86Q2d_Gs1GE

Finger prints sounds like Finger Prince and there is a scene with Prince in the show
