[@shawndavis2616]

@@ClassicTVMan1981X That makes sense now that I've seen it written out.

He is, but why does the sergeant sound like an angry Australian if he's Canadian.

[@rovertarthead]

Oh yes an entire episode in my left ear.

[@KnakuanaRka]

Mono audio might help.

[@rachelwindsor850]

The face that the moose makes when Yoink smells his ass is priceless. Such a subtle but funny gag.

[@robertadams3940]

"WHAT... A... CARTOON...TOON...TOON...TOON!"

[@isetmfriendsofire]

The visual style is kinda Animaniacs. Even the design of Yoink (sorta looking like a 30's funny animal)

[@emiliohidalgo5927]

Keep in mind that all of the What a Cartoon-shorts where made by both famous and aspiring animators, the aspiring one later went to make other cartoons as their careers took off. One example being Seth McFarlane, who debuted on WaC with Larry & Steve

[@TDI_CharlieBrown]

Even the voices sound like Rob Paulsen

[@jeremygaal5127]

Funny you said that because these cartoon has two leads from Tiny Toons and Animaniacs: Charles Adler (Buster Bunny) and Rob Paulsen (Yakko Warner/Pinky).

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

Don Jurwich (rest in peace), Jerry Eisenberg and Jim Ryan: those three names would also conjure memories of the cartoons they did for Hanna-Barbera and Ruby-Spears circa 1978-81, including Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo, The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show, The Super Globetrotters, Richie Rich, and more.

[@equexcellence]

My uncle, Jim Ryan, wrote Yoink! I have the script in front of me! Jim also passed away August 31. I have ALL of his memorabilia including lots of his scripts! Thanks for your nice comment! I had no idea until today he wrote this!

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

@@equexcellence You're welcome.

[@ZakWolf]

Rob Paulsen and Charlie Adler are both very prominent voices of my childhood. (I like how Rob's voice for Yoink is very similar to his P.J. voice from "Goof Troop", while I can definitely hear Yakko Warner in Sgt. Farflung.)

[@kairi3177]

B for buns of course. Dont know why this line makes me giggle. Yoink of the Yukon another great show with series potential ignored.....WTF Cartoon Network??

[@TDI_CharlieBrown]

Well they couldn't all get picked up, but yes. While Dexter, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, Courage, and Powerpuff Girls were excellent choices I think Yoink should have been picked up too. Same for Fat Cats

[@Kittenfox_55]

Oh Yoink he's so quirky and lovable

[@darkstarmoonshadow]

I like him even more because he sounds like Max from Mighty Max. (MY ALL TIME FAVORITE CARTOON FROM THE 90'S)

Hello Will Wood fans

[@andrijadjordjevic9203]

the animation reminds me so much of tom and jerry kids and this should have also become a series

[@dakentaijutsu2010]

too bad this short didn't get a cartoon series

Probably wouldn't have resonated well with some Canadians, just saying.

O_O I thought now I can't unhear !

[@JoeManza]

1:35-1:37 The captain’s got the right idea. I mean, even if the Mounties **could** get all the animals’ furs back (which would be next to impossible, since the trappers most likely already sold them), there’s no guarantee that Nuf would keep his end of the deal.
