You Risk Your Life
Edit
Written by Paul Rugg
Directed by Alfred Gimeno
Synopsis
Edit
Yakko hosts and Dr. Scratchansniff announces for a parody of the classic Groucho Marx game/talk show "You Bet Your Life" in front of stock footage of a live-action audience. The contestants are Mrs. Myra Puntridge and Aristotle. The secret word is "Yes", and if you say it, Wakko smashes you on the head with a mallet.
Trivia
Edit
- Mrs. Myra Puntridge is actually Emily Duff from the Elmyra Duff Family episodes of Tiny Toon Adventures.
I Got Yer Can
Edit
Written by Sherri Stoner
Directed by Alfred Gimeno
Synopsis
Edit
A discarded soda can sparks an escalating, one-sided battle of wits between Slappy and her neighbor, Candie Chipmunk.
Trivia
Edit
- This cartoon is based on a true story. Sherri Stoner moved to a new neighborhood, and she was throwing away her Diet Coke can into another neighbor's bin, but her neighbor asked Sherri to use her own bin.
- The game show that Candie appears on is a parody of Let's Make a Deal. The Warners make a cameo and do their "Hello, Nurse!" routine.
- At one point, Candie types endlessly on a typewriter "All work and no cans make Candie a dull Chipmunk," a parody of the scene from the film The Shining.
- Skippy says his catchphrase, "Spew!" for the first time.
- When she first meets Candie, Slappy says, "Allen Funt is a dead man!" In other words, she briefly believes that she is on Candid Camera, the prank show hosted by Funt.
- The game show is hosted by Blink Winkleman, a semi-recurring character from Tiny Toon Adventures.
Quotes
Edit
- Slappy: [about Candie] She reminds me of a very young Wilma Flintstone.
Jockey for Position
Edit
Written by Peter Hastings
Directed by Lenord Robinson and Dave Marshall
Synopsis
Edit
Pinky and the Brain race in the Kentucky Derby to win money for their next plan to take over the world.
Trivia
Edit
- First appearance of Phar Fignewton.
- When Pinky is knocked off a horse, he dizzily says, "There's baloney in our slacks..." one of the lines of the theme song.
- The shot of Pinky running on the globe would later be used in the title sequence for the Pinky and the Brain spin-off.
Quotes
Edit
- The Brain: Tomorrow is the running of the Kentucky Derby. Do you know what that is?
- Pinky: Um, a very large hat?
- The Brian: Promise me something, Pinky, never breed.
- Pinky: I'll try.
- Pinky: Can't we just ride the pretty one?
- [Referring to Phar Fignewton]
- The Brain: Good heavens, they're mulitplying!
- The Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
- PInky: I think so, Brain, but, uh, isn't Regis Philbin already married?
