So good. This illustrates so well how I, a millennial homeschooler, learned anything about anything in pop culture: always about four levels removed from the source material.

I love that sense of removal honestly—archaeology of the present

I know there's a cottage industry of pieces explaining THE HIDDEN SECRETS OF MILLENNIAL CARTOONS but this was, in fact, genuinely informative (and fun to read, vs ScreenRant non-style).

Feels like damning with faint praise to say the music video episode was the best Tiny Toons, though!

I kid, but I won’t lie, me & my brother watched Tiny Toons How I Spent My Summer Vacation on VHS a million times when we were kids

I mean, there's an argument to be made that the best episode of "Arthur" was the almost live not real music festival one! (How does a children's cartoon about Jekyll and Hyde mog 99% of metal songs?)
