Histeria! | comment |
Warner Bros' Histeria! was one of several shows created in part as a result of the FCC deciding in 1996 to start enforcing the 1990 Children's Television Act that required a certain percentage of "informative" and "educational" programs; the creators of Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs decided to react to this with a show centered on comedic sketches loosely based on historical events and topics, which premiered on Kids' WB! in September 1998.One season (52 of the planned 65) of episodes were produced before the show was cancelled over budget concerns (i.e. being $10 million over it), then were repeated numerous times for the next three seasons before being taken off the network in 2001. Unlike its predecessors, Histeria! did not reappear in syndication on Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon. The show would've disappeared altogether if not for the fact that, in 2006, it reappeared as part of the initial lineup of Time Warner's In2TV channel until they were inexplicably removed in January 2009. After years of Keep Circulating the Tapes status, a MOD DVD set of the complete series was released in July 2016 on Amazon.com and Warner Bros.' online store. Tom Ruegger has expressed an interest in rebooting the show.Marks the final collaboration of Ruegger with composer Richard Stone, who died the year that the series ended. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Lots of historical figures are portrayed acting like celebrities; for instance, Julius Caesar and his murderers are Frank Sinatra and the other members of the Rat Pack. They also portray Martin Luther as being like William Shatner and Plato as a caricature of Fred Rodgers. | |

"Well Done, Son" Guy: Shown in one episode as Alexander the Great's relationship with his father Philip of Macedon, as Philip infuriates Alexander by always telling him that his feats are "pretty good but not great". Actually likely Truth in Television of the relationship between the two - there have long been rumors Alexander had something to do with his father's assassination. | |

Animated Actors: In addition to the characters having to deal with censors and executives and treating the show like something they're acting in, some of the historical figures depicted on the show were portrayed by a member of the main cast. For example, the World's Oldest Woman has portrayed Cleopatra in "Tribute to Tyrants" and Big Fat Baby would sometimes play famous historical figures in their infancy. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Histeria! / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: References to previous WB cartoons abound. Big Fat Baby's jingle (the one where Father Time's chasing him in the desert) is based on the theme song from The Road Runner Show. Froggo's room is decorated with merchandise for Batman: The Animated Series. Froggo's regular outfit is much like the one of Wakko from Animaniacs. (Unlike Wakko, though, he actually wears pants.) A song introducing a sketch about Alexander the Great is sung to the tune of the Animaniacs theme, and the sketch about Florence Nightingale as a Hospital Hottie ends with the boys shouting "Hello Nurse!" Also, the World's Oldest Woman's jingle is sung to the tune of Slappy Squirrel's theme. Paul Rugg plays Qin Shi Huangdi in the same manner he does as Mr. Director from Animaniacs, even using some of the same nonsense phrases used from the character in "Clown and Out." The Pinky and the Brain theme music can be heard when Chit Chatterson mentions brain removal in a sketch about mummification. As well as part of the background music for the introduction to Nikola Tesla's later life. Clark Kent's appearance as William Clark, of course. Additionally, Superman made two other cameos as himself (one of which had his "S" emblem written as "F", which some have speculated is a nod to Freakazoid!). Fetch intentionally resembles Hunter from Road Rovers, per the creators word. Notably, the last episode contains a brief gag in which Fetch dashes onstage joined by dogs who appear to be of the same breeds as Blitz, Exile, and Shag. Ludwig von Beethoven retains the same design used on Animaniacs (only now vocally impersonating Christopher Lloyd). Similarly, Michelangelo is again voiced by Maurice LaMarche in a Kirk Douglas impression like the "Hook on a Ceiling" short from Animaniacs. | |

Artistic License – History | |
Histeria! / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: Or what did you expect from an American kids' show helmed by Tom Ruegger? While a certain amount of simplification and bending of facts is to be expected for a sketch-show aimed at kids this show freqeuntly got things so wrong that you wonder that it was ever considered an "educational" program. In the song "The Sound Of Stalin" a long and mostly accurate list of Joseph Stalin's achievements are summarized. Then there is the line "Building a wall down the streets of Berlin". Although his policies arguably led to its eventual creation, Stalin himself had nothing to do with the Berlin Wall. He died in 1953, and the wall was built in 1961. In a segment relating to the Vomitorium, the show presents the popular misconception of the Vomitorium as a place where Romans would purge after a large meal. Unfortunately [or perhaps fortunately], such a facility did not exist - a 'vomitorium' is in fact an underground exit which easily allows large crowds to exit the stadium. [Hence; it vomits out the attendants] The show repeats the popular legend that David Rice Atchison was President for one day. In the last episode, Marie Curie says she won the Nobel Prize with her husband Pierre in 1898. The Nobel Prizes were awarded for the first time in 1901, and Pierre and Marie won in 1903. The "Peace, Land, and Bread" song implies that Vladimir Lenin seized power directly from Tsar Nicholas when he was actually removed by the advisory parliament and the Petrograd Soviet; Lenin took over six months after this. He wasn't even in the country at the time. In the "Invasion" song, the chorus sings "The Germans invaded the Czechs". At the time, Czechia (Czech Republic) was part of Czechoslovakia. The same episode also demonstrates the myth that Napoleon was in fact short. Napoleon was 168cm/5'6" - making him firmly average height for the 18th-19th century. | |

Historical Ugliness Update: Napoléon Bonaparte's supposed short stature is exaggerated to the point that he's barely the height of a small child, complete with child-like proportions, making him immature both figuratively and literally. Adolf Hitler in the "World War II" is given a Big Red Devil makeover, complete with horns, sharp teeth and a demonic voice, likely to make up for the fact the show can't really dive into details of why Hitler was evil. Hideki Tojo in the aforementioned episode is given a racist Japanese caricature that was prevalent in Wartime Cartoons back in the day,note To be fair, that caricature was based on his real-life appearance, albeit heavily exaggerated. with the addition of a pointy, thin mustache that the real Tojo did not have. Cleopatra, of all people, is portrayed by World's Oldest Woman. Desconstructed, however, because it makes her out to be an (inacurrate) Abhorrent Admirer to Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony. | |

Rule of Funny: While it did include more references to history than most edutainment cartoons in general, the writers didn't concern themselves too much with the fact they were billing the show as "informative" and "educational" programming... in, well, any situation where they thought accuracy would get in the way of humor. Averted in the episode involving the Underground Railroad, which took it very seriously, despite the running gag of the kids thinking the Underground Railroad is a real railroad, and the episode that focused on the Civil Rights movement actually treated the subject matter with respect. | |

The Vikings eventually find that they can't stand their hostage, so they send her back to her husband, who promptly swims after the Vikings and begs that they let him come with them. A cat burps up Mickey Mouse's shorts in "Really Really Oldies but Goodies". "Histeria Around the World (Part 2)" opens with Loud, Charity, Aka, and Toast parodying the Teletubbies (much to their chagrin).

Underwear Flag: The episode "The Thomas Jefferson Program" had a segment where the World's Oldest Woman portrayed Betsy Ross in explaining the origin of the American flag. The explanation given is that Betsy Ross got food stains on her bloomers and ended up having her bloomers run up a flagpole, leaving her wearing a barrel. | |

Hideki Tojo in the aforementioned episode is given a racist Japanese caricature that was prevalent in Wartime Cartoons back in the day,note To be fair, that caricature was based on his real-life appearance, albeit heavily exaggerated. with the addition of a pointy, thin mustache that the real Tojo did not have. | |

Re-Cut | |
Histeria! / int_c3ae004a | comment |
ReCut: There are two versions of the "Megalomaniacs!" episode that exist: one has a sketch in which the Histeria! kids think General Custer's Last Stand is a custard shop, another with the game show "Convert or Die," in which victims accused of heresy get to choose between converting to The Catholic Church or getting tortured to death during The Spanish Inquisition. The version that aired on television initially was the one with the "Convert or Die" sketch, but after complaints from The Catholic League rolled in, the reruns instead aired the "General Custard's Last Stand" version. When the short-lived video website In2TV aired the entire series of Histeria!, the "Megalomaniacs!" episode with the "Convert or Die" sketch was released. Conversely, the "General Custer's Last Stand" version is what's on the complete series DVD set. | |

Zig-Zagged with Adolf Hitler. In "World War II", he's portrayed as a Big Red Devil and a supervillain commanding the other Axis leaders, who are also given supervillain makeovers to counter the Freedom League's superhero aesthetics. However, the episode never goes into details as to why Hitler was portrayed as Satan himself beyond the typical Take Over the World shtick, likely to avoid the family-unfriendly topic of genocide. | |

Shout-Out | |
Histeria! / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The Revolutionary War episode had a segment where the action was "called" by parodies of the lead FOX NFL duo at the time of Pat Summerall and John Madden. The sketch about the Boston Tea Party is an homage to the Cheese Shop sketch from Monty Python's Flying Circus, replacing cheeses with varieties of tea. The Lewis and Clark expedition is headed by Jerry Lewis and Clark Kent, though with Clark acting more like Dean Martin so the sketch can also reference the Martin & Lewis films. One alternate opening credit is done exactly in the style of Saturday Night Live (in a mix of the 1978-1979 and 1988-1989 opening credits, also an Actor Allusion for Laraine Newman and Nora Dunn. Many alternate versions of the theme song spoofed another TV intro, including The Huckleberry Hound Show, The Andy Griffith Show, The Simpsons, The Addams Family, Mister Ed, and Star Trek: The Original Series. Likewise, theme tunes spoofed for character jingles include Branded (Father Time), Bewitched (Miss Information), Bat Masterson (Loud Kiddington), The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis (Toast), Gidget (Pepper Mills), and The Patty Duke Show (Big Fat Twin Babies). A skit involving the Spice Islands involves, naturally enough, a Spice Girls parody. World's Oldest Woman is peeved that she's apparently "Old Spice". In "The Dawn of Time", a cow falls on Foghorn Leghorn. "The Story That's Told By The Bard," a Tom Lehrer-esque musical number which truncates William Shakespeare's 37 plays into a single three-and-a-half minute song. The story of General William Sherman's March To The Sea during the Civil War is done as "General Sherman's Campsite", a full on spoof of Pee-wee's Playhouse. | |

Bankruptcy Barrel | |
Histeria! / int_cadbbc64 | comment |
Bankruptcy Barrel: In "Attack of the Vikings", Father Time ends up wearing a barrel after vikings run past him. Later, one of the vikings' victims remarks that they took everything but the shirt off his back, which results in the vikings stealing from him again and leaving him in nothing but a barrel. "The Montezuma Show" has the Incan audience of a ball game end up in barrels after the Kid Chorus win the game and take their possessions in accordance with the game's rules. Betsy Ross (portrayed by the World's Oldest Woman) is shown wearing a barrel after her bloomers are used to make the first American flag in "The Thomas Jefferson Program". The musical number "People Wanted Pepper on Their Food" from the episode "Histeria Around the World I" depicted Adam and Eve (portrayed by Father Time and the World's Oldest Woman) wearing barrels. Miss Information, Bill Straitman, and a recurring background character resembling the farmer from the painting American Gothic are seen wearing barrels during the sketch about the Great Depression in "Big Fat Baby Theater". | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
Histeria! / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: Much like Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs, this show once again pisses off the censors with as much demographically inappropriate humour as possible (some of which is pointed out by Lydia Karaoke). Added bonus for the fact that the censor character here is often treated like a Butt-Monkey (read: ignored, injured, and overall defied). Some of their sketches have the air of being on a sketch comedy show for adults (i.e., Saturday Night Live, Fridays, Monty Python, or MADtv), but is made all the more shocking by being in a sketch show for kids. Some examples include: "My Buddy Stalin" (a family-sitcom starring Joseph Stalin), "General Sherman's Campsite" (Pee-wee's Playhouse set during the Civil War with General William Temeusch Sherman as Paul Reubens' hyper Manchild character Pee-Wee Herman, who is now obsessed with burning Atlanta, Georgia to the ground), and the banned sketch "Convert or Die" (a game show set during The Spanish Inquisition where contestants have to choose between converting to The Catholic Church or being tortured for being a heretic). | |

Biting-the-Hand Humor: As expected from a WB comedy cartoon, and not just with Lydia Karaoke's harsh treatment whenever she complains about the show content. A couple of episodes ended with the cast singing about how if they don't get enough viewers, Kids' WB will cut their pay out of spite. At the end of the episode "Histeria Around the World II", Toast is unhappy about being a human sacrifice, but ends up accepting it when he is informed that the only other job available for him is to be a network executive for Kids' WB. | |

Running Gag: Pepper constantly mistaking historical celebrities for pop cultural ones, never realizing her mistake until she's gotten their autograph. For instance, mistaking Vladimir Lenin for John Lennon. Loud watching something and alternating between "See it, see it..." and "DON'T SEE IT!! DON'T SEE IT!!" depending on whether he sees it. The last time the Big Fat Baby had his diaper changed. Whenever someone asked, a character would respond by asking, "Remember when [insert historical event here]?" The inquirer would respond affirmatively, the character would respond with "Before that." In sketches where Loud and Fetch are running a business, Loud says that if he can't make a deal, Fetch will eat something disgusting, which said dog will get upset about. | |

Shown Their Work: The series has its moments, it's an amusing show that is all about bringing a subject that is typically perceived as stuffy and irrelevant to younger people. Their sketch on the New Deal is a fairly well researched snapshot on FDR's programs. In particular the series does a good job on the Second World War, giving a basic (it is a kid's show after all) outline of the lead-up to Nazi Germany and doesn't particularly gloss over the less-mentioned parts of the war (i.e. alliance with the most assuredly non-democratic Soviet Union and the postwar Europe debacle) that often escape mention in other sources, though it does privilege the Western Front over the Eastern Front (where the majority of the war was fought and won by the Soviets). | |
