Scratchansniff: “So if Yakko jumped off a bridge, would you-”

Wakko and Dot: “Yes.”

Animaniacs headcanon

Wakko is aromantic, has no interest in romance for himself at all, but is a bit of a hopeless romantic for other people, and is match making like, all the time.

If he knows one of his siblings likes someone, he’s practically shoving them into their crush. He’ll run up to the crush and start talking up whichever sibling has the crush.

“Ya know, Yakko is super fun to be around! He has great stories to share! And he loves getting people flowers!”

“Isn’t my little sister adorable? And she’s so independent and protective of people she cares about!”

And he’ll even do this for Scratchansniff

“See that man over there? That’s my psychiatrist! He’s really good! He cares a lot! And look at how impressively shiny his head is!”

And if no one has a crush? Match making time. He’s famous for inviting people to come sit with him and a friend, very unsubtly announcing what they have in common, and then abruptly excusing himself and leaving the two alone.

He’ll also prepare people for their dates, “no, no, don’t wear that, where this instead!” “Did you get them flowers?” “Don’t forget to smile! And make sure to be interested in what they’re saying!” And then excitedly interrogates them after the date “how’d it go?! Did you guys kiss?! Are you in love?! Can I help plan the wedding?! When’s the next date?!”

Also he can never for the life of him pick up on when someone is flirting with him, it doesn’t even cross his mind that someone would, but the second someone flirts with someone he cares about, or if someone he cares about flirts with someone else, he jumps into action to set them up.

Dr. Scratchansniff for the ask game

Alright!

I IMMEDIATELY loved Dr. Scratchansniff when I started watching Animaniacs.

I still love Dr. Scratchansniff. He's one of my absolute favorite characters! Definitely my favorite human in Animaniacs.

I'm not sure if I have a definite favorite Scratchy moment, but I do love him in "You Risk Your Life." It shows that he's a much more versatile character than you would think at first, as he seamlessly replaces Dot in the main trio! I love me a versatile character.

One story idea I've had involving Scratchansniff is him taking in the Simmons Siblings for a period of time before they get a home of their own, but I'm not sure if I could create any meaningful conflict because of how sweet Tilly and Silly are. Then again, Silly does have a penchant for mischief and he's a lot less clever than the Warners.

Scratchansniff is NOT a bad person. I see so many theories and essays about how Scratchansniff is a terrible person or a terrible psychiatrist and they really irritate me! I haven't blocked anyone over it, but I cannot read anything where Scratchansniff is too mean. He's short-tempered, easily confused, and flawed, but he's not all bad.

I don't ship Scratchansniff with anybody. Platonically though, I think Scratchansniff's dynamic with Yakko is my favorite. The two play off each other really well!

Favorite Scratchansniff headcanon that isn't entirely mine probably is one you played a huge role in, Cyd! It's the "a pumpkin man sits in a pumpkin house" post, and when you said Scratchy was probably just showing everyone a little craft he made, it made me think he did arts and crafts sometimes and I love that a lot.

Thank you, Cyd!

This post was literally made for me lmao

There's one little detail I liked in the episode Lookit the Fuzzy Heads (the one where the Warners meet Elmyra).

When the Warners are in Scratchy's office, he tells them they're going to have another kid in the session with them, and says she might be shy and not want to talk. He asks them to be polite to her; and they actually say yes! They will! And they look like they really mean it too (holding up hands to show they're sincere.)

Aww, the good kids were ACTUALLY going to be nice to whoever was gonna come in.

(Which would make sense. If the other patient was just a shy and bashful kid like Scratchy said, there's probably no reason to do anything mischievous to them. Plus they love Scratchy and he asked them to.)

I think it's a nice quick detail that gives a good bit of character for them.

You are so right! I had actually planned to make my own post about this in the future. And I probably still will, as soon as I'm able to get that clip, which will not be soon.

I love how sweet they are in that scene! When they hear there's potentially a shy child coming to see them, they immediately agree to treat them nice, no mischievous intent at all. It's very much in their character- they pick on jerks who deserve it. There's no reason they'd want to pick on an innocent, shy child. It seems like they're willing to do everything they can to make it a comfortable experience for this other patient.

If Scratchansniff was a good therapist, he would've picked up on this and explored it. It shows that the Warners aren't chaotic and mischievous for no reason. It shows that they really want to help other kids at least, which we also see a lot with their educational songs. There was also that episode where they were excited to sing karaoke to a group of kids. They have a lot of sweetness and respect in their hearts if the situation calls for it.

I love this scene and I love them!
