Phillip Redux: Unemployed/Undeterred


This is hilarious on so many levels. What shows like Animaniacs did so brilliantly nearly two decades ago — and what cartoons now fail to do — is straddle that ever so fine line between appealing to children and throwing in a multitude of wink wink nudge nudge references for adults to enjoy. It seems now, that TV animation either panders to young children or is blatantly intended for mature audiences (a la Family Guy).  What about the enormity of comedic possibilities that lay in the middle?
