Animaniacs Sneak One By The Censors

I'm just wondering if that wasn't their intended meaning. Is it possible that the meaning, as interpreted by her, is supposed to be "finger Prince for the crime," as to suggest he committed the crime?

Well it seems like they would need to have some kind of plausible explanation. This is sort of a stretch, though.

I don't know... I think it's a bit of a stretch to think they would be refering to the sexual act here. It's been a while since I watched this show, but I never saw anything approaching that level of risqué. It just seems too much for that show, and I have a hard time believing they would intend that meaning, knowing that the main audience for the show were kids... even if most kids would have no understanding of the reference. They would have to know that many would.

It's just too blatant for me to accept that this was their intention.

I think the coy smile on Prince's face says it all. I'm sure cartoonists try to sneak in little jokes like that all the time. Just look back at all the controversy that popped up over the years with Disney. The penis building in The Little mermaid, the word SEX in the dust in The Lion King. Aladdin supposedly saying "Take off your clothes" to the tiger in... well...Aladdin. I don't really think it's too crazy to assume the same sort of thing goes on with all cartoonists. Heck look at the new spider man cartoon. During a fight with Black cat she says "You better not get your goop in my hair." Now sure, that has a totally innocent meaning in the cartoon, but the choice of words makes me think it was designed to get a laugh out of an older crowd. I dunno, maybe we're all just perverts.

Oh come on, all those who think this is just an innocent accident, look at the look Prince gives her after she's told to finger him.
Give the writers some credit, this is great comedy!


Agreed. Whoever thinks this is innocent hasn't seen the Animaniacs. Or at least they haven't seen them since they were young.

Notably, Snopes found those urban legends to be false, undetermined, and false respectively.

I don't trust that site, I can PROVE one of his "False" claims is actually true.
This is the scene where the minister becomes "Aroused" as he so puts it.
If he's looking on the new released dvd's, then I doubt he'll be able to find some of the things mentioned, mostly
because it'd be edited out. However, the original VHS' may have a different story.

For the still non-believers, this is the scene in the movie
