anybody remember that Tiny Toon Adventures episode where a guy began laughing so hard at old noodle limb cartoons that he started inflating like Veruca Salt with no explanation and then exploded

It's interesting how propagandized our generation was about this, like there were multiple episodes of Tiny Toons and Animaniacs that railed furiously against "network censors" and taught the kids that content standards in broadcasting were old people trying to end your fun

While the Bosko cartoons were never popular enough to be an issue, Looney Tunes in general ran into network censorship for decades until now. What gets discussed is concern about violence on TV in the 80s, more than the blatantly racist material, worse at WB than other companies.

To this day older viewers will get angry if Elmer Fudd isn't depicted with a gun in new cartoons, and older cartoon researchers will demand that the "Censored Eleven" be rereleased (particularly horrible racist cartoons that never made it to television in the 60s for that reason)
