    People have repeated that rumor for years, which is why Animaniacs put it in the show in the first place.

    But I got the reference.

    I also like the episode where they distract the evil alien by saying, “look! It’s big fat Scotty from Star Trek!” Was it mean to James Doohan? Yeah, but I can’t help find that line hilarious.

        And I don’t know about Doohan, but Montalban most likely didn’t give a shit what a cartoon had to say about him considering he was perfectly happy to mock his own performance in Wrath of Khan on Freakazoid multiple times.

        And that show was written by former Animaniacs writers.

        Edit: Found a quote from Freakazoid-

        Because he tasks me. He tasks me. Round the moons of Snibya, I chuckle at thee. Beyond the Corpian clouds, I chuckle more at thee. Revenge is a dish best served with pinto beans and muffins. Kirk, old friend, I… Oh, sorry.

            If you haven’t seen Freakazoid, it’s honestly one of the funniest cartoon TV shows I’ve ever seen. It’s a Looney Tunes level of silly comedy but with a superhero. The second season is far worse than the first (although still funny) due to executive meddling, but the first season is top-notch TV.

              I have not see it. I’ll add it to my list. Thanks for the suggestion!
