History YMMV / Animaniacs2020

** Subverted when it's revealed [[spoiler:Chicken Boo [[BusCrash hunted and killed them all.]] But then it's also revealed that all of them are still alive and very mad at Boo. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Even Pesto.]]]]

* TakeThatScrappy: "Good Warner Hunting" is one for Chicken Boo, acknowledging how he was the least popular character in the original series [[spoiler:to the point that he was the episode's villain]].

* BrokenBase: "Good Warner Hunting" from Episode 5. [[spoiler: It's either a WhamEpisode with a glimmer of hope that the likes of Slappy Squirrel, Rita & Runt, the Goodfeathers, etc were merely PutOnABus instead of AdaptedOut. Or it's a really [[TakeThatAudience flippant dismissal]]. It could be implied that the writers were saying "[[HopeSpot Yeah, they're still around]]...[[YankTheDogsChain but they're still out of the show!]]"]]

* EnsembleDarkhorse: The Warner Siblings' {{Animesque}} designs from Episode 4 gained instant approval from the fanbase due to how amazing they looked. Probably helped that Yakko's design reminded everyone of [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]].

** "The Catch-Up Song" does this a lot since, as they plainly admit, the song was written in 2018, thus they have no idea what would happen in 2019 or 2020. Oddly, they ''do'' get right worsening natural disasters and, by sheer coincidence, needing to wear masks and living in bunkers (though not because we're on Mars or being hunted by their polar bear masters)

* HilariousInHindsight: The original show's frequent potshots at Creator/{{Disney}} become funnier with the announcement that the revival will come to Hulu, which Disney claimed ownership in 2019. This is particularly ironic in that 2020 also saw Creator/WarnerMedia's big attempt at an all-encompassing streaming service, Creator/HBOMax, launching, yet the Warners themselves will be supporting a rival network.[[note]]And to twist the knife further, HBO Max is offered as a premium add-on for most Hulu subscribers, meaning Disney is actively profiting off a rival on two fronts![[/note]] Although the Animaniacs reboot is only on Hulu because it was announced in 2018, long before HBO Max was announced. If the reboot were announced after the initial reveal of HBO Max and set to come out later in the early 2020s, then it would probably be on HBO Max, as a ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' reboot was announced in the fall of 2020 for release in 2021/2022 on HBO Max co-produced by Cartoon Network Studios and Warner Bros. Animation. There's also a good chance that, after the two seasons of the Animaniacs reboot initially ordered for Hulu have come out, it will ChannelHop to HBO Max for any future seasons.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The loss of a few characters has upset some fans. It was understandable why Minerva Mink and Hello Nurse couldn't return since, even on a streaming service, the censors still wouldn't allow sexualized characters on a kids show. That said, there's also been some argument of the writers not trying to find other ways to really utilize or expand them (''WesternAnimation/WakkosWish'' was actually trying to move Hello Nurse ''away from'' that stereotype, with her revealed to be a lot smarter then she let on). However, the biggest loss was that of Slappy and Skippy, whose shorts were among the top ones behind the Warners and Pinky and the Brain in the original series. Many were crestfallen to hear they would not return.

* FranchiseOriginalSin: People complaining that this series, based on a mere trailer, is too "political" based on a cycloptic {{Trumplica}} and Dot saying "Never mansplain-y" have forgotten that the original show was not afraid to get political. The show made fun of Democrats (especially Bill Clinton, who plays the sax in the intro and is depicted throughout the series as both TheFool and a HenpeckedHusband) and Republicans ("According to this, I'd say we've lost our way" / "This isn't a map, it's campaign flyer for the Republican Party") alike; no one was spared, as the Presidents Song showed us.

* WereStillRelevantDammit: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zigzagged]]. While its subject matters are very much in tune with the new era it was produced in, the writing quality still harkens back to the comedic timing of the original cartoon, preventing it from being [[AudienceAlienatingPremise alienating]].

* BrokenBase: The series [[NoExportForYou being exclusively on Hulu]] has been a sore spot for many international fans who’ve been clamoring for the show’s return over the years.
