Inside each one, countless alien planets.

But none so ripe for the picking

as planet Earth.

[THUD]

Fertile soil, cool water,

a diverse biome

and a dominant species collectively unable

to spell the word Mississippi.

Human young are defenseless

until the age of 12.

Mommy! Bring me another pizza bagel.

BRAIN: And often long after.

They're sitting ducks.

Don't believe me?

Ask this typical human man.

I look forward to laboring

under your rule.

Narf!

I am the Brain,

and I am here to facilitate

your hostile takeover of Earth,

using my superior intellect

In exchange,

allow me to rule in your stead

after you've colonized it.

I haven't had time to plan.

We need to--

an abundance of tawdry, mass-produced,

leave-nothing-to-the-imagination

Earth clothing

to disguise their unique appearance?

[BABY CRYING]

Oh, look! Oh!

Their plan is nothing

short of genius, Pinky!

What do you think?

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

I love it!

BRAIN: Splendid!

Now that you're doing your best simulacrum

of a suburban youth,

we can begin our plan in earnest.

First, we must--

Go to

the food court!

The food court?

Ah, yes.

My thoughts exactly.

Where better to source

the rare plastic polymers

found only in the corn dog batter

at Hot Dog On A Log?

[PINKY GASPS]

There's a Hot Dog On A Log? Whee!

Pass the ketchup!

The log is the best part!

Now, as I was saying,

I noticed your ship is powered by

deionizing proton thrusters.

What say we use them

to bombard the stratosphere

with spent chlorine nuclei,

destroying the ozone layer for good.

From there, together, we can--

Do karaoke!

Do karaoke. Huh?

No! We came here because of

that jamming tune you played us.

I told you! Hit of the summer!

Welcome to the Animaniacs

2020 Election Special.

I'm Yakko Warner,

and I'm reading off a teleprompter.

And now, I'm looking

into a different camera.

Let's go live to election correspondent

Dot Warner, who is at the polls in Iowa.

That's right, Yakko.

Here I am in Iowa,

the state we pretend to

care about for one January

every four years.

I'm cold and lonely,

just like everyone else in Iowa!

Fascinating. Now, over to Wakko

with the electoral map.

How's it shaping up, Wakko?

Also boring. Hey!

I could sing my song to spice things up.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana,

Indianapolis, Indiana ♪

And Columbus is the capital of Ohi-- ♪

Oh, it's all the same.

[GLASS SHATTERS]

- I thought this might happen. Thing is,

our two big political parties

just aren't fun anymore.

[♪♪♪]

Luckily, there are some totally insane-y

third-party candidates out there

who want to shake up American politics

with their crackpot ideas.

Let's take a look, shall we?

[♪♪♪]

When I'm President,

all private pools will

become public property.

Why? Well, basically, just so

I can swim in the Gustafson's pool.

[GARGLING, GULP]

- Jean?

Oh! [CHUCKLES]

I thought you were at work.

Uh, well actually, I was fired yesterday

because my job has been

fully automated by robots made in China,

made by other

robots made in China,

and now I don't have health insurance

[SNIFFS] because the robots

wouldn't let us unionize.

Oh Well,

I don't know how to help with that.

Wanna take a swim?

- Get out of our pool.

Right. I'm Jean Gravy,

and I approve this message.

Yeesh. That campaign ad

really took a dive.

Say, Dot, how's Jean Gravy

polling in New Hampshire?

She's gained a stunning one percent.

Oh, I'm sorry.

She's gained a stunning one person.

And

now she's lost him.

Also, this is a gummy bear.

[SQUISH]

Wakko, what does that

mean for the electoral map?

Well, if you look up here,

I have no idea.

And if you look down here,

Alaska's down here now. I did that!

Terrific! What a night!

Now, for our second third-party.

Try to say that five times fast.

You can. It's not that hard.

Now, play that ad!

[♪♪♪]

[TOOT]

Ed Ortiz here.

Put off by dense political rhetoric?

Then, put your trust in a new party.

One that's less concerned

with actual issues,

and more concerned with yelling them.

BOTH: The Surprise Party!

We might just surprise ya!

Well, Dot, will there be a surprise win

for the Surprise Party in Florida?

I'm in Idaho!

Don't you listen?

I do not. Wakko, how does that

pan out on the big board?

I ate all the states.

I'm a monster!

Now, that's the kind of biting analysis

people tune into Animaniacs for, folks.

That wasn't the right ad. Who approved this?

Well, it wasn't me.

I'm in Hawaii. It's a, um

crucial swing state.

Well, that only leaves one person.

Wakko, was it you?

[RUSSIAN VOICE]

Negative.
