History Main / DenialOfAnimality

-->'''Speedy:''' [[http://agirlandherfed.com/comic/?98 I didn't fall out of the eucalyptus tree yesterday, kitten.]] If I want to be jerked around, I'll find myself a zoo. So shut your yap and mind your manners and we can pretend that we're both real human beings.

* Played with in [[strike:[[TheScrappy George Lucas' pet project]]]] the SpecialEdition of ''StarWars'': "Jabba, you're a wonderful human being."

This is, of course, false. They're not humans, they're clearly of a different species. This may indicate that a FunnyAnimal is unaware that he is an animal. This may also apply to actions, such as a dog eating ice cream or chocolate without getting sick, or a weasel [[InterspeciesRomance having a romantic relationship with a human]] with no comment whatsoever.

* DonaldDuck once said, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUGIOJN2vWI#t=6m47s "Maybe I'm just a duck, but I'm human."]]

->''"[[CartoonCheese Cheese]] makes [[MickeyMouse Mickey]] seem like a mouse. He's really not a mouse, you know, he's really more a human."''

* DonaldDuck once said, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrzvwzHhclo "I may be just a duck, but I'm human."]]

-->'''Bender:''' C'mon, Fry, I really wanna see it. You know how I yearn for a simpler time. A time of barn dances and buggy rides, before life was cheapened by heartless hi-tech machines.\\

[Bender holds his hands to his ear units and shakes his head.]\\

-->'''Fry (to Bender):''' It's all right, you're only human.
* In the first ''ScoobyDoo'' movie, ''Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island'', Scooby was chasing cats when their owner told Shaggy to stop his dog. Scooby's response? "Rog, Rhere?"

* DonaldDuck once said, "I may be just a duck, but I'm human."

** In the CarlBarks comic "[[http://disneycomics.free.fr/Ducks/Barks/show.php?s=date&loc=1950/W_OS_263-03 The Trail of the Unicorn]]", Scrooge [=McDuck=] sends for Donald to help capture the one animal he is missing from his zoo, but Huey, Dewey and Louie take this the wrong way and interrupt his exposition with the following protest:

** MickeyMouse, besides the ears and tail, is barely a mouse himself. Walt Disney wouldn't let him be shown [[StockAnimalDiet eating cheese]], as a page quote attests.

-->--{{Disney}} on why [[MickeyMouse Mickey]] is never allowed to be shown with cheese.

** MickeyMouse, besides the ears and tail, is barely a mouse himself. Walt Disney wouldn't let him be shown [[StockAnimalDiet eating cheese]], because in his words "Cheese makes Mickey seem like a mouse. He's really not a mouse, you know, he's really more a human."
