Rewatching the entire old series now, how the hell did we not get Slappy back as a regular for the reboot? Her shorts are easily some of the best of the entire show and are arguably the best written.

Slappy's voice actress was one of the writers for the old show. None of the old writers were hired for the new show, so Slappy was naturally out.

How depressing

Writing good is hard, and they’d need to get the original writer back to voice her and she’d fuck up the grade curve in the short bus they call a writing room

The joke that got her canceled.

I think they removed it because being toxic towards stuff is unnecessary in a society that's already toxic about all things except those which matter, because real issues are hard to solve.
Holy shit their live must suck because their escapism won't ever work, they will never be able to enjoy everything in their virgin lives.

Even though this is a retread of laurel and hardy, it's good.

You mean old Animaniacs was mostly stolen jokes but with toons? Gasp.
Eehhh I mean "Superior! Everything old is better."

Not sure if I'd say mostly, but a lot of the jokes were well trodden tropes with more modern references.
Don't see how that's necessarily a bad thing though.

Her voice actress was, and still is, cost prohibitive.

Hey, just like the new show but REEEEEEEEEEE~

I haven't seen the new show. Can't make any judgements. I did Like the old one though.
Sebastian Taylor
Not really the writers knew how to actually tell a joke and how to end a sketch... the new writers definitely do not

Because in the same fashion that PPG 2016, the execs wanted to try new blood instead of hiring the original writers. Ironically, this was the reboot's death knell, because its inevitable to compare both iterations and notice that something is wrong.
Nolan Sullivan
I don't get this mindset. If the execs want to allow the kids to develop their own talent, why not allowint them to create their own characters? Taking in consideration The Loud House became a moderate success, there's a big market for cartoons actually aimed to children but being ignored in favor of twitter and nostalgic reboots. I know they don't want to take a risk but for me it's a waste

Slappy's paws were already full in the 90s talking about how dumb things had become THEN
adding the crud that's wrong NOW to that plate? You can't expect an old lady to bear that burden. She'd go completely hoarse before she even got to phones
Jordan Moore
Aging is a hell of a thing. You can tell Paulsen is getting up there. Just like when Casey Kasem started sounding old with Shaggy.
Ian Brown
Are you a zoomer?
Elijah Flores
Not sure if this is bait but Slappy was always funny. Also are we so pussy now we cannot enjoy a little Slappy comedy? 'Cause the world sucks so hard now. We just can't handle it?' Come on! But whatever. I guess I am a virgin who cannot enjoy life because I disagree with you.

This style of joke has no known origin, it's a vaudeville classic that's originator has been lost to the ages.

Why isn't Twitter losing their mind over this? They only care about turning wakko into a heckin cute and valid enbie

>They only care about turning wakko into a heckin cute and valid enbie
At what point did Wakko ever indicate he was neither male nor female?

The idea might be that flogging an old brand is training wheels for the new staff so they'll be more experienced when they make something original and so be more likely to succeed.
If they're too interested in masturbating it won't work though.

Because the vocal majority of Animaniacs fans (or minority, depending how you look at it) are bandwagoning casuals who may have seen a rerun or two when they were younger but only got into the show as adults after seeing compilation videos of the show's risque jokes, or from word of mouth once it became available on streaming services. They have no real connection to the OG fandom of the show, which I am a part of. And while I can't speak for all OG Animaniacs fans, I did my part in writing Hulu execs and signing petitions, and eventually just had to begrudgingly accept that this trainwreck was going to happen no matter what we original fans did or said.
