Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • At the end of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo Clock", Skippy's lack of presence snaps Slappy back to being her normal crazy self instead of just plain crazy. She then proceeds to escape the nursing home in Cool Old Lady fashion in order to find Skippy. When the veiwer sees Skippy, they get this:

Skippy: "Starlight, star bright, first star I see tonight... (sniff) I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight...I wish Aunt Slappy would get better and things were like they used to be..."
Slappy: (opens door) "Hey, Pinnochio...I ain't the Blue Fairy, but I think your wish just got answered!"
Skippy: "Aunt Slappy!"
Slappy: "Come on, kiddo. Let's go home."
Skippy: "Alright!" (they embrace each other, and then the scene cuts away to them dancing into the sunset)
Skippy: I'll love you forever, Aunt Slappy.

  • The ending to "Clown And Out," where, after all the abuse the Jerry Lewis-sounding clown gets throughout the short, he finally finds an audience who won't hurt him -- a group of blue alien kids who look like Marvin the Martian.
    • Also, earlier in the episode, the Warners are having a blast celebrating their brother's birthday, even though they are only three of them there.
  • There's a scene from "Temporary Insanity", before Yakko is thrown out of Plotz's office, where Wakko is making a silly face and Dot is laughing as she watches him. They're bonding.
  • The last of the "Animator's Alley" segments ends with the Warners saying good night to each other.

Yakko: 'Night, Wakko.
Wakko: Goodnight, Dot.
Dot: Goodnight, Yakko.

    • For a brief moment earlier in those segments, Dot is enjoying having a water gun fight with Wakko.
  • The song "There's Only One of You". It's corny, but it manages to warm a few hearts.
  • No Time for Love. Who knew a cuckoo clock falling in love with a canary could be so tragic and heartwarming?
  • The ending of the Chicken Boo Christmas Episode.

Santa: Oh ho, Chicken Boo, just this once, because it's Christmas, we're giving you a happy ending.

  • Mindy's love for Buttons. As much pain as she puts that dog through, the genuine affection she shows him is so endearing.
  • Rita and Runt's friendship.
  • "Little Drummer Warners," a whole episode that's a recitation of slightly-edited versions of "We Three Kings" and "Little Drummer Boy." It shows the Wise Men and the Warner Brother (and Sister) Shepherds visiting the baby Jesus, with the latter giving a loud but earnestly cheerful and appreciated show.

Warner Siblings: And he smiled at me, ba-rum-bum-bum-bum... me and my drum.

  • Don't forget It's New Year's Eve, complete with kissing and hugging.
  • Right after the middle and right before the ending of I'm Mad, when they start getting along.
  • "Because we love you!" from Taming of the Screwy.
  • The Warners really get along in Garage Sale of the Century.
  • Christmas Plotz might have a similar effect.
