Branimaniacs
Animation by StarToons
Plot
Slappy and Skippy act as the spokes-squirrels for Smellog's Branimaniacs cereal brand; containing cereal pieces shaped just like Slappy. For liking the cereal, Slappy gets paid in advance. After Slappy and Skippy eat the cereal, the large amount of fiber in the cereal makes their stomachs violently rumble; both squirrels race to the bathroom. The Warners then come out and sing about how unhealthy the cereal is.
It makes you have to go to the bathroom (due to its large amount of fiber), but you get paid for saying you like the cereal.

The Warners and the Beanstalk
Animation by Tokyo Movie Shinsha, Ltd.
Plot
The Warners star in their version of the classic fairy tale with Hello Nurse as the harp and Ralph T. Guard as the giant. At one point in the story, the Warners convince the giant to eat gold eggs and meat instead of them, in the style of Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham .
Crew
Trivia
For some reason, the Animaniacs volume 3 DVD release cuts out this cartoon's title card. It did, however, appear in syndication (such on Hub Network ) and streaming (Netflix and Hulu ).
The "Used Cow Salesman" is modeled off of Pat Buttram , who was known for playing snake oil salesmen, especially Mr. Haney on Green Acres .
Unlike in the original fairy tale, the giant (played by Ralph) apparently survives his fall.
Quotes
Ralph: Pe pie pooka plot / I smell Yakko, Wakko, and Dot!
Yakko: Don't you mean fe fi fo fum?
Ralph: Yeah, but it don't rhymes with Dot.
Ralph: Fe fi fo fum / I fall down and hurt my bum.
Frontier Slappy
Animation by StarToons
Plot
Slappy finds herself facing "legendary" pioneer Daniel Boone , who wants to cut down her tree to build his house.

Trivia
When Daniel Boone asks the singers to show themselves, they turn out to be Tom, Dick and Larry from the 1942 Chuck Jones Merrie Melodies cartoon The Dover Boys .
This episode is a parody of Fess Parker 's failed follow-up to Davy Crockett , Daniel Boone , where he played essentially the same frontiersman character only with a different name.
The song "Daniel Boone" is also a parody of the show's theme song.
Quotes
Slappy : (after pouring hot wax on Boone) Maybe he can rent himself out as a menorah.
Slappy : That's nice singin'. They remind me of Up with People .
