About

Animaniacs Intro Edits refers to a video meme format based on the intro of the 2020 reboot of the animated series Animaniacs. The format is based on a running gag in the series in which a line in the intro varies in each episode, with the edits replacing the line with various rhyming clips.

Origin

On November 20th, 2020, the first season of the 2020 animated series Animaniacs, a reboot of the 1993 series of the same name, premiered on Hulu.[1] On the same day, YouTube[2] user LetsPlayNintendoITA uploaded the intro from episode two of the series to the platform, where it gained over 540,000 views in two weeks (shown below). In the intro, the variable line running gag[3] from the 1993 series is used.



We're Animani-
Totally insane-y…
[Contains aspartame-y]
Animaniacs! Those are the facts!

On November 25th, Twitter[4] user @ej_was tweeted the first meme based on the intro, replacing the line with a popular quote from Season 3 Episode 1 of SpongeBob SquarePants – The Algae's Always Greener, where Plankton exclaims "I'll remember you all in therapy." The edit received over 6,800 views, 120 retweets and 580 likes but failed to immediately spark a trend.

On November 27th, Twitter[5] user @Tts210c posted an edit in which the line is replaced with a viral Baba Booey meme. The video (shown below) gained over 83,200 views, 2,100 retweets and 10,200 likes in one week.

Spread

Following the viral spread of the tweet, in late November 2020, edits of the intro gained viral popularity on Twitter. For example, on November 28th, 2020, Twitter[6] account No Context Disney TVA (@NC_DisneyTVA) posted a Phineas and Ferb edit that gained over 22,400 view in one week. On November 29th, Twitter[7] user @fwibbo posted the same edit as @ej_was, gaining over 17,500 views in five days. That same-day, The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! edit by @FourScore64[8] gained over 153,000 views in the same period (show below).

Later on November 29th, 2020, Twitter[9][10] user @StinkyBlueRat posted a template for the format, with multiple edits by users on Twitter, YouTube and Instagram following in late November and early December 2020.
