Wacky Races (2017) - Reboot Self-Awareness

  • For this vid, here are most of the jokes the show makes about itself as a reboot, including other executive meddling shenanigans that happened behind the scenes. Some of these jokes can be applied to other reboots currently, which I find hilarious in hindsight considering the animaniacs and tiny toons reboots that have been announced.
    Important note: I do not own any of the clips in this video, including the animatics shown here! They're from the unaired third season of the Wacky Races reboot, and they can all be found here on Mike Disa's vimeo page: vimeo.com/user...
    I do not own anything in this video, all rights and ownership belong to Warner Bros. Entertainment, Cartoon Network, and Hanna-Barbera.

    They should make a reboot of this series but with the original concept, and ONLY Dastardly break the 4th wall like the Team Rocket

    • @pergrogly4136
      @pergrogly4136  Před 3 lety +35

      in a really roundabout way, team rocket was inspired by dastardly and muttley (wacky races was crazy popular in japan when it aired there) so it wouldn't be so farfetched. dick was also the only one who broke the fourth wall back in the OG show by talking to the narrator.

      They should of went with the "Wacky Races forever" cartoon instead of making this. It would of been much more interesting. ( I also wouldn't re-colour Dastardly to purple,because it kind of became cliché for villains to have purple outfits).

    As the guy who made the former No Context Wacky Races account I'm so happy to see that this show is finding some retroactive attention. These *definitely* reminded me of the fourth wall breaks from the Steven Spielberg cartoons and I wouldn't be surprised if people from the show moved to the Animaniacs reboot. If there's anything I dislike I think the writers seem a bit too worried that these jokes aren't going to go over well, and like... guys, this is great writing, don't get down on yourselves like that.

    I am so disappointed...in myself for not discovering this *_gem_* of a show sooner! Before Boomerang's rebrand, I would watch the channel 24/7 whenever I had the time. Every morning while my mom was getting me ready for school, I would always watch an episode of Wacky Races during breakfast because that's when it was on. It became one of my favorite shows of all time and in a way, it sparked my love of classic cartoons.
    Even after the rebrand, I remained loyal to Boomerang because it still aired some of my favorite shows like The Looney Tunes Show and Grojband, for a while anyway. But then my family moved to a different house and got a new TV plan that didn't provide the channel, so I was out of the loop for a few years. I'm just now learning that a lot of new shows started airing on Boomerang primarily, shows that had a lot of potential but didn't get a lot of recognition thanks to poor advertisement. Among them was Bunnicula, Wabbit, and the Wacky Races reboot, which I didn't even know existed until about a week ago because it's not on TV.
    I tried to watch it on HBO Max but it had been taken down for some reason, so now I can't find any full episodes of the show. I did find a couple on Dailymotion, but there wasn't very much. I realize this means I can't really speak much on behalf of the show, but from the dozens of five-minute clips I've seen, I can tell that this show was incredible. Sure not all of the episodes revolve around racing, but I think that's the best part of this show! In the original series we didn't get to learn much at all about the racers personalities and lives outside of the races. Now we can learn more about their families and backstories and actually explore them as characters, even newcomers like I.Q.
    And my personal favorite, all the racers act like a found family both on and off the track. They're always together and know each other so well. They even throw Dastardly a bone every now and then.
    I'm so sorry to the cast and crew who worked on this show for ignoring their hard work, this show deserved so much more than what it got. I can only hope that it finds a life in the reruns.

    WR 2017 was a great reboot for WR. 1st season wasn't the best but once it found it's footing, it became great. The writers, animators, and cast (even though it's mostly Tom Kenny as anyone that isnt the main racers minus Bela) shitting on the execs and addings tons of little references. Even basing entire episodes surronding other series with Hong Kong Phooey and the court one with Hooded Claw. I wish this show didn't end up cancelled, the finished storyboards [with voice acting] would have made for a great new season

      @jeremyriley1238 Před 5 měsíci +1

      Indeed. I was once put off by the removal of many of the main racers, as well as its status as a reboot (as at the time, I started becoming wary of any reboot with Warner Bros. or Cartoon Network's name on it), but I have accepted it, as that way, it helped the reboot focus on the more popular characters that are still fan favorites to this day (like Dick, Peter, and Penelope) while actually evolving from its roots of being solely racing and having the racers go on misadventures (and doing it better than Teen Titans Go ever did).
      Heck, the Hong Kong Phooey crossover episode felt like it could have been a backdoor pilot for a Hong Kong Phooey reboot (as it was amazing, even Phil LaMar, who voices the WR2017 Hong Kong Phooey, and is best known for voicing Samurai Jack, did a good job voicing the kung fu pooch).

    I don't know bruh, but I feel that for the wacky races reboot at least that it's cynical and self referential tone actually works in its favor and makes its greater arcing narrative of higher ups and executives fucking over the creatives in the entertainment industry a whole lot stronger than hurt it. If you are entering the reboot expecting a cell by cell adaptation of the original, you are bound to be disappointed. The wacky races reboot really isn't a "reboot" in the traditional sense because the show makes it clear that those racers ARENT the original ones but the descendants of the og kinda forced to be their to make profit. In a way, they are almost self inserts for the creatives in the animation industry and if you approach the reboot as more of a critique of the modern entertainment industry than an actually reboot your bound to find it a whole lot more engaging. Perhaps give wr2017 a second go because in their case, their self referential and deprecating tone really was what made the show for me because it just WORKED.

    • @pergrogly4136
      @pergrogly4136  Před 3 lety +11

      agreed with all that! perhaps my wording was a bit too strong- I meant "downfall" ironically, because watching the show in hindsight to its cancellation actually made its own cancellation jokes more funny to me. it almost sounded like they knew they'd be canceled for dumb reasons in the future. but I hope this vid isnt taken the wrong way! I enjoyed the show a lot personally bc of its meta humor. I wish more animation fans could give it a chance.
      Looking over my description I think I can see where my wording went wrong, I'll be fixing that.

      @@theslotherin1831 Oh def! And yeah it's a common complaint, esp for people who didn't even give this show a chance. But it's odd how these reboots work- a show like TTG can be hated so much, and yet the animaniacs reboot is very popular and liked. Perhaps it really does boil down to writing, expectations, and sticking with the old show's strengths and characterizations.
      In wr's case, the show does go in a new direction compared to the old one, but it's like what the characters say in this video- some of the jokes and ideas have been run into the ground by this point, and now the same jokes are mocked and parodied within the show. The show even mocks racing at several points, including the fact that many of their episodes sidetrack from the races- which isn't a new concept since the old show did the same thing multiple times. I personally thought the change was good, and it does follow some of the beats of current shows, which isn't necessarily a bad thing imo. Sure its not as action-y as the wacky races forever pilot, but I thought it was fine as its own thing. I can write a whole essay on this lol.

      Is it ever specified that these aren't the original racers? There's one episode where it's revealed "Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines" Dastardly is the grandfather of this Dastardly, but that's the only thing I can think of. I recall a couple episodes implying these are indeed the same racers.
      I agree with you that the show is a lot of fun.

    The "downfall" was because it and other shows were cancelled not because of views but because of a change of execs that cancelled all shows, in fact it was even greenlit for its last season. And I don't see how self derision is a low humor, a LOT of movies and shows do and that adds a good self aware criticism given by a crew that wants to give quality (because that's like NOT the main focus and the best jokes are nlt related to this, sad if you look just at that) all while poking fun at greedy execs who don't care.

He's a quite competent and skilled driver, and the Mean Machine is an advanced car with an aerodynamic design.

    Makes me wonder what would happen if they brought back the Laff-A-Lympics. They almost certainly would make everything worse. My worst fear for any reboot is when the producers dumb down the intelligence of characters to make them more obvious that they'll get their comeuppance. I don't mind adding new characters, but they should at least be relevent to the plot. The wacky races aren't as much fun with only five, sometimes 6 cars. Even then, there isn't much racing going on anymore, they should just call it "Wacky People" instead.

    • @pergrogly4136
      @pergrogly4136  Před 3 lety +6

      I personally never enjoyed laffalympics even as a kid, bc it felt like they were dumbing down and flanderizing the characters on that show just to make a simpler plot, but thats just me. Also, at least speaking for this show, there is no overarching plot, but there are many recurrent characters on the show that do pop back up time and again for gags and episode plots. I believe there are lesser racers also for simplisities sake since it's rather hard to write for too many main protags. I once read an interview with Michael Maltese, the original head writer for wacky races (he was also a very celebrated looney tunes writer who wrote many iconic shorts that chuck jones directed such as what's opera, doc?) who said it was very difficult to write for so many, many characters on that show (something like 20 characters even) especially for television where writing deadlines were short and tight. And this was a very skilled and experienced writer who said this! here's the interview: yowpyowp.blogspot.com/2018/04/the-great-maltese.html

    I feel the main problem of this series was not just because it way too cynical and self-aware (even though that is a major issue with this series), but also because it was trying to be like every single story-telling cartoon, see in my opinion what made the original Wacky Races so good was that it focused on broadcasting an animated competition with cartoony antics in it rather than telling a cohesion story, this what I like to call "A Competition Cartoon", and other examples include "Yogi's Space Race", "Laff-A-Lympics", "Fender Bender 500", & even the "Total Drama" series (before they made all the characters toddlers with "Total Dramarama"), and it's a real shame they're not done as much anymore, cause the original plan for the original Wacky Races is that fans would guess who'd win this upcoming week's show, and if they got it right, they could be eligible to win prizes, and I really wish they'd do that in recent years, hell when I first saw the pilot to the Disney Junior show "Mickey & the Roadster Racers" known as "Race for the Rigatoni Ribbon", where Mickey & the gang race in Italy, I really thought that was going to be the formula for each episode, Mickey & the Gang car racing around the world with all kinds of cartoony stuff going on, but no it's just a basic educational slice of life cartoon with a car racing theme, and that was really disappointing for me, also I like to imagine that in the late 60s/early 70s, neighborhood fathers would get together and gather around the tv with their kids every saturday morning to watch the show, and actually place bets on the wacky races, do you know what I mean?

      That's a wholesome thought, def. You can look at my comments above about what I think about the show not being a competition show, but yeah the show is a different tone to what it was before, and it really did depend on the direction the writing and storytelling team were going with. the 2017 show was rather similar to other animated shows premiering at the time (very comedy and story based), but at the same time it was doing its own thing. I agree, some of the humor and ideas were heavyhanded, but I liked how the show just went off and pretty much said "no ones watching this anyway, lets just write crazy stuff" which I found was interesting. The humor felt very reminiscent to older 90s cartoons to me with it being self aware, plus the fact that the show didn't have any story arcs yet it had plenty of recurring characters. I accepted it as it was, and found myself enjoying it, but its not for everyone, definitely

    2:52 Wacky Races (2017) in a nutshell

  • @elizabethramirezsierra3700

    In the original series, there was racing all over North America and at the end, the announcer announces each racer a winner at every episode but Dastardly lost every race. Also, there are 11 racers consists of males, animals, and one female. Another thing is that the show was produced by Hanna-Barbera along with Quigley also known for Hollywood Squares. This type of animation is made by ink and paint.
    Fact: This show is based on the 1965 film The Great Race
    It ran on CBS 👁 from 1969-1970 for a total of 34 episodes across one season.
    In the 2017 reboot series, this show returns after its absence for a couple of years and also no racing. There are only five racers: Peter Perfect, Penelope Pitstop, Dastardly and Muttley, The Gruesome Twosome and newcomer I.Q. Ickly as well as other new characters. In each episode, the racers go on adventures instead of racing because they are often go in their own ways. This type of animation was animated by Snipple Animation Studios and Digital eMation Inc., making a style of Looney Tunes, Tex Avery and Scooby Doo Cartoons meaning it is more cleaner. It uses computer animation. It includes more violence and jokes.
    It ran on Boomerang between 2017 and 2019 across two seasons which was cancelled after its final episode.
    I prefer the original better.

    self aware humor is always a bad sign for a show. Because usually use By writers and creators To bitch and complain about things. thinking they're deeper than they actually are by not being Funny.
    Meta humor is something you had to use sparingly either you play smart wear it's something like futurama where they're insulting Fox but they're doing it in a way that if you don't understand What the meta humor is it's still funny because they're still making jokes Of the situation.
    Or something like George of the jungle that is very sincere self aware humor. It's not treated as eye rolling like it's ashamed of what it is where the self aware humor totally knows what it is and doesn't care just goes ham anyway.

    The Ant Hill Mob (This time they are in a limousine or a more modern gangsters vehicle)
    A replacement for The Red Baron, who is a Top Gun-esque rebel (In contrast to Peter's gentleman approach, he is trying to seduce Penelope)
    A family of anthropomorphic rabbits on a machine called The Warren Wagon
    Sergeant Blast (who is afraid of hippies, tell me if that's in character for him) and Private Meekly
    Rufus Ruffcut and Sawtooth
    The Slag Brothers
    Pat Pending with his mad scientist personality from the "Wacky Races Forever" pilot (IQ is his nephew)
    The Gruesome Twosome (Bella is female like in the unaired pilot of Wacky Races Forever)
    Lazy Luke and Blubber Bear
    Captain RubyBeard, a mermaid pirate with a crew of fishes, pirate versions of Flounder, Scuttle and Sebastian and can evoke a Kraken

I mean, it is so self-aware that surely dererves praise for that, and I agree, it's not as the original, and the episodes almost always end in an anti-climactic way, but perhaps that's its point. Its writers know that they can't make it like the original, that they made it just for the money, and that they can't beat nostalgia, and still, they gone all-out with it. If that isn't devotion that deserves respect, then what is it?

    1: DRASTICALLY change the original characters into something they aren’t (the voice, looks, personality, etc.)
    2. Make it as modern as possible along with the UGLY cheap animation
    3. Adding stupid modern humor and etc.
    Stick with the original stuff people.
