      In hindsight mainstream cartoons like Animaniacs were chock full of age-inappropriate inside baseball jokes about celebrity gossip and showbiz industry humor and vintage Hollywood and stuffhttps://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/1378223583411859456 …

      Arthur Chu added,

      I'm confused about whether this Glitch Techs cartoon on Netflix is actually intended for children or if it's just a bunch of Millennial gamers saying something is for children so that they can make an incredibly indulgent cavalcade of highly esoteric gamer jokes

      I mean like the "Goodfeathers" segment is a whole series of cartoons whose main joke is parodying a 1990 R-rated movie no child in 1993 had any business knowing anything about

          Also the "and goodnight folks" catchphrase that was deployed whenever they thought a joke might get them canceled Like this was a show that did a "fingerprints/finger Prince" joke that definitely was not for kids

          Also Beethoven pronouncing "pianist" as "pee-anist" and then in the Sistine Chapel bit referencing the figures were originally all naked.

          I didn't know about Goodfellas before I knew about Goodfeathers. Both good, but I feel like I discovered them in the right order.

          They also reference The Godfather a bunch, the god-pigeon right down to being an overweight mumbling Marlon Brando spoof, and in one episode West Side Story.

          I was a bit more worldly than many kids my age so I got a lot of those references - that being said, I loved the discomfort around the sexual references - my parents never monitored my cartoon watching

          I feel like we had a vague sense at the time that the adult-targeting was part of it, and that increased the allure as a mildly rebellious-feeling entertainment

          I've been rewatching these with my kids and I keep thinking 'who did they think this was for?' Other than me, right now.

          Would the same be true for Bugs Bunny's Edward G Robbins' imitation?

          Yeah, but at the same time the old-school Looney Tunes cartoons that Animaniacs was paying tribute to weren't really seen as "for kids" at the time -- cartoon shorts ran before regular feature films as a way to whet your appetite for the movie and were aimed at adults
