@@ricardocjoulzenn2568 I wasn’t saying she’s a jerk. I was saying it would’ve been easy and lazy if they did make her a stereotypical jerky old lady. That’s why she’s such a great character in my opinion.
Like an aunt should be. I don't really agree with the "they coul've easily made her a jerk" I don't think we would be talking about Aunt Slappy in 2023 if that was the case. 30 years later. Good character writing just has to exist. In some level. Even if it's a kid show. Slappy is skippy's aunt, and no aunt or uncle is gonna treat their child niece or nephew with animosity if they came to visit them.
There is one episode that she throws away her soda in a neighbors trash can and slappys neighbor asked slappy to get the trash out of her can. and then hilarious stuff happens.
@@robhankins796 The one I was referring to was in Bumbi's Mom where Skippy was sobbing and the lady behind them basically went what's his problem. She told her off and when they left, the lady was about to say something and Slappy goes "Say one more word and I'll shoved dynamite down your pants."
@@charlespetersonjr1994 they did confirm it (even Dini wanted a Minerva Mink spin off), though never came to be due some exec decisions, one of them being too many Animaniacs spin offs and lack of airtime space
I think my favorite 4th Wall break she did was when she's taking him via airplane to see Bumbi's mom, Skippy starts to get sick and is about to puke, so she snaps to the camera: "Cut to the next scene! Quick!" It does, and the moment ahs passed.
There is even a video here on TH-cam that discusses all the different times the xylophone gag has been used in Warner Bros. cartoons, but never with this twist! 🤣💣
Slappy will always be my favorite Animaniacs character. I'm kinda upset they got rid of her for a stupid reason in the reboot, to the point where she only appears once. Who knows? Maybe she'll appear again later.
She shouldn't appear unless if they get her VA back to write and voice her as with the OG Animaniacs, otherwise the current writing staff will fail her
1:50 - I've always appreciated that not only did they have Slappy subverting Cartoon gags - when she wasn't dialing them up to 11 - but in unexpected ways too.
1:38 "you remind me of a very young Scooby Doo." Okay that quite possibly the cutest sentence ever written. I wonder jf she ever looked after him for Shaggy.
I always considered Slappy to be the third ranger of the Animaniacs cast. I hope she appears again in the future, if Sherri Stoner is still working. EDIT: She's back for the finale! I got my wish!
@@grantperry5180 i thought the pinky and the brain shorts were good but the warners were so out of character, i missed them sm and they came back like that :(
Me neither. I wanted more cartoons of her since she’s literally one of the funniest characters ever. And they did remove Chicken Boo from the reboot, like Yakko said he was the least popular character ever, garbage. It’s just not the same without Slappy, the goodfeathers, Buttons and Mindy, Rita and Runt, the hippos. That’s why I watch the original for the fun of it and to keep their memory alive.
I would definitely not know what the heck "Those Endearing Young Charms" would be if not for Looney Tunes. I also like how in her first episode she pantomimes Walter Wolf, Sid the Squid, and Beanie the Brain Dead Bison...only for all three of those characters to show up in later episodes.
Slappy's concept is a very fun one A retiree looney tune who is showing the tricks of the trade to her younger bushy-tailed pupil while also displaying an incredibly seasoned and veteran view point to the typical looney tune formula
Oh Slappy, I loved her she’s crazy. She’s cranky like Fred Flinstone but likeable. She would even do anything to make her nephew Skippy feel better like with him crying over Bumbi’s mom’s (Bambi reference) death, he was making a big deal out of it when it was just a movie. Which I didn’t blame him for cause it was really sad, heck I even was saddened by Bambi’s mom’s death as a kid and it almost traumatized me. She had her friend convince him that the mother survived to get him to stop crying at least until seeing another death happen in the old Yeller reference movie. Slappy even escaped from the hospital to be with him right after remembering him just after Skippy stopped coming to visit her which was because the social worker took him away to live with another family to take care of him. So yeah she may be cranky but she’s caring for her nephew and she’s smart even against her enemies.
apparently I was inconsolable while watching Homeward Bound as a kid when Sassy went over the waterfall. I could not be calmed down until I saw that she survived. I also remember being kind of terrified by Kamek at the beginning of Super Mario Galaxy and thinking Mario died. would have been a very short game in hindsight.
@@callmecharlie4250 I haven’t seen Homeward Bound before but I’ll look into it. I had Disney plus for a few years so I can find it there. Mario was unconscious for a moment after Bowser destroyed the planet FYI and blasted him away. And yeah sad moments can really leave some people bawling their eyes out. I still can’t get over that ugly crying Skippy did 😂.
I'd be really surprised if someone hasn't made a compilation of Slappy's "you remind me of..." As a kid, I rarely got the reference, but the delivery was still funny.
Slappy was funny, and Skippy was adorable. Slappy Squirrel is my 2nd favorite skit on Animaniacs. My favorite would have to be Rita And Runt. And don't think I wasn't pissed that the reboot reduced them down to cameos.
I was too young to appreciate Slappy. I always changed the channel when she was on. Now that I'm older.. I can see now that she was a subversion of old WB classics. All of the old gags are there, but with a commentary of someone that had a carnal knowledge of the old material. I gotta watch these. It's been a long time :)
Slappy Squirrel is a blessing in my life. She’s been my most favorite cartoon character ever since I got into Animaniacs. She’s witty, she’s silly, she’s smart, she’s savage, and she’s kind-hearted. All in one perfect fluffy package. Sherri Stoner is such an inspiration for me. She is my hero.
It’s kind of weird how high the animation frames were on some shows of this era. You’d think as technology improves, we’d see more frames rather than less.
For real comedy that could actually make adults laugh, we had classic Looney Tunes (not that fake shit they peddle today as Looney Tunes), Tex Avery, Tom&Jerry, Pink Panther, Woody Woodpecker, and… Slappy Squirrel. We haven’t had anything decent since… except for South Park.
"Skippy, whats the name of the group?" "Who." "The name of the group" "Who!" "The group on stage!" "WHO!" ...eh you probably know the rest of that joke
I also think shes meant to have a resemblence to bug bunny as they have the same colors and even the body pattern having whtie down the middle and on her cheeks and the teeth..... i just realised
Now THAT'S comedy! I wish Tress MacNeille would do Slappy's voice, instead of longtime Warner Bros. writer, Sherri Stoner! Slappy's would.sound similar.to.another character Tress voiced, the World's Oldest Woman on Hysteria!, which aired on the late WB Network in the late '90s!
Can we just appreciate she is never rude towards Skippy. They could’ve easily made her a jerk but is really cute and sweet towards him.
she not a jerk just oversensitive and know her enemies well that she always gets them before they get her

Slappy's one of those characters that would mess with Karens and make people laugh while she does it.
She has.
Stop slandering the name Karen. The word for a naggard is naggard, you wretch.
I love her, I would love to see that

“Those were cartoons and this is real life.”
“Don’t tell him. He might crack.”
😂😂😂
I'm gonna do that whenever a kid tells me that just to mess with them XD
It’s funny because it’s true 😂
69th wallbreaker
I never realized that Slappy segments were often just a running 4th wall break. 😂
'' OK Dougal once again, those here are SMALL, them there are FAR AWAY ''
I wish Slappy had her own spin-off series like Pinky & the Brain did.
apparently there were plans to give her a spin off series as evident with the one flew over the cuckoos nest episode but they never got it going.
I think they were afraid it would end up being the only thing the world would have wanted to watch, and they would have run out of good ideas.
She's retired now. So she needs her rest.
I wanna see Hello Nruse again
@@charlespetersonjr1994 they did confirm it (even Dini wanted a Minerva Mink spin off), though never came to be due some exec decisions, one of them being too many Animaniacs spin offs and lack of airtime space
Slappy: *to the viewers* Don't tell him. He might crack.
HAHAHHAHAHAA LOVED THAT LOOK SHE HAD!!

"Doug the dog-"
*BAM*
"WAS right behind me."
My favorite 9 seconds in all of television history!
She may be a really cranky old squirrel lady,but she is awesome and sweet towards at skippy, she really loves her nephew.
The older I get, the more I accept Slappy Squirrel as my spirit animal.
No god but Allah
Islam way for peace and real monotheist
Search about the truth with honest heart,
Slappy Squirrel knows REAL comedy that makes us real laugh
The scene at 1:43 got me laughing so hard I might have popped a vessel. Really is a shame she doesn't have her own segment in the reboot.
I come from the future. She's back.
There is even a video here on TH-cam that discusses all the different times the xylophone gag has been used in Warner Bros. cartoons, but never with this twist! 🤣💣
I remember when I was 12 years old seeing this, I couldn’t stop laughing so hard. I was the best part I ever watched and it’s still never gets old.😂😂😂
I believe she was the personal comedy trainer for the looney tunes and bugs and daffy were her prized pupils.
Slappy: You remind me of a very young Scooby-Doo.
I know she said that looks familiar isn't it?
I don't know why that made me laugh so hard but it did 🤣
Ironically, Tom Ruegger was one of the masterminds of "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo."
She's got the best voice and lines
Slappy Squirrel is one of the greatest characters in animation history.
0:45 Skippy, you have much to learn about the 4th wall.
It’s another one of those inside jokes about reality.
@@cbsteffen never gets old.
Animaniacs characters are their own 4th wall.
@@ImperialKnight770 It certainly doesn't get younger either.
Slappy will always be my favorite Animaniacs character.
I'm kinda upset they got rid of her for a stupid reason in the reboot, to the point where she only appears once. Who knows? Maybe she'll appear again later.
Wait they gave a reason? Cause man modern Animaniacs could profit with her being a sassy lady making fun of the internet and stuff
@@DrascorTheDeath probably because a bunch of Gen Z Steven Universe fans can't handle her.
@@chasformer3091 either that or they probably couldn’t find another voice actress for Slappy
She shouldn't appear unless if they get her VA back to write and voice her as with the OG Animaniacs, otherwise the current writing staff will fail her
@@chasformer3091 I hate those types of people.
0:37 - who knows? The writing would have to be really good and engaging and hilarious, so I don't think it's impossible :)
family guy probably would try to make a 6 minute joke out of a checkout line...
I want to see it, if only to see Slappy go up against a Karen
@@LadyJuse Poor Karen would get SLAP-pyed for HOURS!!
I love Slappy’s “6 minutes in the check out line” bit 😂😂
1:50 - I've always appreciated that not only did they have Slappy subverting Cartoon gags - when she wasn't dialing them up to 11 - but in unexpected ways too.
Basically Slappy is an old, bitter Bugs Bunny.
Thank you, Sherri Stoner, for voicing one of the greatest anti-Karens of the 90's. :D

And when Beanie does show up, Skippy always calls him "the Cerebrally-Challenged Bison." A subtle shot across the chops at political correctness.
Slappy's concept is a very fun one
