Last line

Yakko, Wakko and Dot: Hydroplaney...

Trivia

  • Beginning with this episode, the line "We've got wisecracks by the stacks" is replaced with "We pay tons of income tax." Additionally, the line "Meet Pinky and the Brain who want to rule the universe" is replaced with "Meet Ralph and Dr. Scratchansniff, say 'Hi' to Hello Nurse," since Pinky and the Brain had their own show on The WB at the time, although they were not removed from the "pay-or-play contracts" segment of the intro. The clips used to introduce the characters are from "Piano Rag," "Ups and Downs," and "De-Zanitized", respectively.
    • In the Castilian Spanish, Nickelodeon Dutch, Finnish, French, Italian, Latin Spanish dubs, it replaced the "While Bill Clinton plays the sax" line (which was removed from the English and German versions of the intro in Season 2).
    • In the German dub, it replaced the "und die jungs die spieleb sax" line.
