Damnit I recall my friends in school just wouldn't stop quoting this shit.

I was one of those friends....

I’m so glad this was posted because this was embedded in my memory but couldn’t place where it was from.

u/AntawnSL 2d ago

Same. No idea where it was from. Strong memories of "go down the hoooooole"

u/BudwinTheCat 2d ago

Yep that was me

u/sto_brohammed 2d ago

I was obsessed with this episode when it originally aired. Found it hilarious, but I was also like 4 years old. It pushed out almost every other memory of this show except for the opener and the road trip story.

Bye bye 401k!

Dreams of retirement go down the hole.

I completely forgot about this and you just triggered a flood of nostalgia.

If I recall, this was the showrunner's kid who also went on to voice Skippy Squirrel in Animaniacs.

Don't know how many times I've quoted this in the past 30-odd years, but it's a LOT.

No push the button. I push the button.

u/Chewy79 2d ago

I PUSH THE BUTTON!

u/Etere 2d ago

It's not your turn, it's my turn to push the button.

u/Substantial__Unit 3d ago

I've had this saying in my head since the day these aired but I have never been able to find out where I heard it from. You just answered one of the 2 life long long questions I have.

This was on when I was 3 kids deep and sleep deprived. Something about the way he says "Down the hooooolllle" cracked me up then and still does now. Husband was in the room, and we'd quote it to each other at times when we'd need some silliness.

u/boot2skull 2d ago

Doesn’t he say “elelator go down de hole” at some point? I remember quoting that a lot.

u/30thCenturyMan 3d ago

did this randomly pop into your head recently too?

u/TheNerdChaplain 3d ago

Yes. Totally randomly.

u/SojuSeed 3d ago

I feel like there is a metaphor here…

2

u/Ash_Killem 2d ago

A classic throwback.

u/niscienceguy 2d ago

The one I tend to quote is "blue ball go down the hole" which was from an episode where they were playing mini golf or something.

2

u/anormalgeek 2d ago

Holy shit. THAT'S where that memory comes from.

1

u/Numinak 2d ago

I still randomly quote this at times.

u/Kitakitakita 2d ago

this show gave me anxiety

u/TamLux 2d ago

water go down the hole...

u/cochese25 2d ago

When I was kid, we used to watch this show all the time and this very quickly became a family meme. We'd say it all of the time when something would go missing

1

u/dali01 2d ago

This is a core memory for me. I was around 11 or 12 when this aired and it just stuck. I found it so funny and repeat “_____ go down the hole” at least monthly. Then I met my gf and the first time I said it she was one of the few that knew the reference. Glad to see it is still making the rounds!

u/pipboy_warrior 2d ago

This still lives rent free in my head. Tiny Toons was awesome, and Plucky is almost as hilarious as Daffy.

1

u/Cartossin 2d ago

This bit is amazing if you're 11. I recall quoting this obsessively.

1

u/quequotion 2d ago

I probably laughed at this a a child, but now I work in child care and I have to be the person who figures out a six year old never learned to tear toilet paper and is still doing this.

u/DoubleE55 2d ago

I use “X go down the hole” reference in my life quite frequently. So clearly it made a lasting impact.

u/ncfears 2d ago

Feeling so small

u/lingh0e 2d ago

"Would you like to eat beans with George Wendt?"

u/Enigmatic_Penguin 2d ago

If I showed this to my toddler, I'd be calling a plumber within 3 hours because she'd flush everything in the house down there.

u/ScribbleThings 2d ago

This cartoon helped form a large portion of my identity xD

1

u/viceroyvice 2d ago

What is it about this cartoon that stayed with me and so many people? I've forgotten so many Tiny Toons episodes but this one I remember clear as day.

u/monotoonz 2d ago

Everyone would quote him and Elmira. I loved the show, hated the constant quoting.

u/Gg101 1d ago

This has the rest of it. I remembered there being more. "Toot-toot came back!"
