Slappy Goes WalnutsEdit
Written by Sherri Stoner
Directed by Jon McClenahan and Chris Brandt
SynopsisEdit
After tasting disgusting cereal that Skippy likes, Slappy goes head to head with a dog guarding a walnut tree to get some walnuts.
TriviaEdit
- This was the first Slappy Squirrel cartoon.
- Slappy takes a dig at the Disney Afternoon show Bonkers, which she would take another jab at in the cartoon "Rest in Pieces".
- The xylophone gag is a take on a gag used by Yosemite Sam and Daffy Duck on Bugs Bunny in the cartoons Ballot Box Bunny and Show Biz Bugs respectively.
- Slappy tells Doug the Dog that he reminds her of a very young Scooby-Doo.
- The Wonderful World of Walnuts video is a parody of the television program Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color.
- In the second take on the xylophone gag, Slappy calls Doug the Dog "Lionel Hampton", who was a jazz vibraphone player most famous for his time in the Benny Goodman Quartet.
- Strangely, the joke "This frisky little feller likes to hide his nuts in the most unusual places...where the sun don't shine on them..." was not originally in the Fox Kids airing of this cartoon, but was put back into the Kids' WB! and all other syndicated airings.
QuotesEdit
- Slappy: [watching one of her cartoons] Wild take #32. Regular as clockwork! [belches] Wish everything was regular as clockwork.
- Slappy: Look, you've seen all my old cartoons, right?
- Skippy: About a trillion times!
- Slappy: I've wrestled with Walter Wolf, Sid the Squid, and Beanie the Brain-Dead Bison. This Doug guy here is nothin'.
- Skippy: Yeah, but those were cartoons and this is real life.
- Slappy: [to the audience] Don't tell him. He might crack.
- Slappy: [to Doug the Dog] You remind me of a very young Scooby-Doo.
Yakko's UniverseEdit
Music and Lyrics by Randy Rogel
Directed by Alfred Gimeno
SynopsisEdit
Yakko sings a song about the vastness of space and the smallness of us compared to it.
TriviaEdit
- The song's final verse was originally about all the planets, but when Rogel was informed that Paul Rugg was already writing another song about the planets, he changed it.
- The song's ending, which goes "Though we don't know how it got here/We're an important part here/It's a big universe and it's ours!" originally went "You might think that you're essential/Try inconsequential/It's a small world after all!" The ending was likely changed to avoid copyright problems over a certain song.
