Yakko's World of Baldness

WarnerWorldOfBaldness

Animation by StarToons

Plot

In this infomercial parody, Yakko is the spokesman for a new and affordable product of hair removal.

Trivia

  • This is a parody of the Hair Club for Men infomercials, which often ended with the president saying, "I'm not just the President, I'm also a member", which is parodied as "I'm not just the president, I'm also annoying!"

Opportunity Knox

Animation by Akom Film Production

Plot

Pinky and the Brain travel by minivan to Fort Knox to take control of all the gold.

Crew

Trivia

  • The shots of Pinky and the Brain examining a gold bar, the Brain awing at the gold supply, and Pinky and the Brain lifting up the gold bar are later used in the theme song of the Pinky and the Brain spin-off series.
    • The shot is also a reference to the 1957 Merrie Melodies short Ali Baba Bunny when Daffy Duck stares in awe at the gold treasure in the cave.
  • While most regions use the Wang version of the intro in this episode, the 2003 Russian dub has the TMS version vocals over the Wang visuals.
  • This is the first time Pinky and the Brain has been animated by Akom Film Production
  • In yet another continuation of their literal running gag, the Warners and Ralph briefly appear outside of Acme Labs and again outside of Fort Knox.
  • Brain's name is "Mr. Perkins". This is the most common name used in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, which is only a ten-minute drive from Fort Knox. This is noticed in the "Please Please Please Get a Life Foundation" cartoon.
  • When Pinky and the Brain are in Fort Knox, Pinky says, 'Egad, this is better than a DuckTales episode'.
  • This is the first time the mice drive a car, which is often seen in the Pinky and the Brain spin-off series. Brain's winch and pully via soap box and skateboard method of driving could also be seen in the episodes "Hoop Schemes, "This Old Mouse,' and "Brain Storm."
  • The plot is similar to the Ian Fleming novel Goldfinger, which starred James Bond, in which the titular villain seeks economic supremacy by hiring American gangsters to aid him in his efforts to rob Fort Knox.
