JUST FINISHED WATCHING THE ANIMANIACS REBOOT AND THIS “IT” PARODY IS STILL FUCKIN ME UP BC IT DIDNT GO AS I EXPECTED AT ALL AND MY HEART HURTS SO MUCH FOR YAKKO???

((SPOILERS FOR EP 11 AND THE FIRST “IT” REBOOT MOVIE))

IN THE REAL MOVIE PENNYWISE SCARES ALL THE KIDS INDIVIDUALLY AND (SPOILER ALERT) THEY END UP DEFEATING HIM BY WORKING TOGETHER BC HE CANT SCARE THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME bc what is scary to one kid isnt scary to another etc 

SO I WAS KINDA EXPECTING SOMETHING OF THE SAME VEIN IN THE SKETCH bUT IN TRUE WARNER FASHION THE “SCARES” HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO AFFECT ON THEM 

EXCEPT

fOR YAKKO???

WHEN HE IS ALONE WITHOUT SOMEONE CONSTANTLY VALIDATING THE FACT THAT HES FUNNY OR THAT HIS JOKES HAVE SOME KINDA IMPACT (EVEN IF THE REACTION IS NEGATIVE) HE FEELS??? WORTHLESS?? INVISIBLE??? VERY VERY ANXIOUS..

first “nickelwise” doesnt react to his jokes, THEN takes away his ability to talk entirely aND YAKKO GETS SO SCARED HE VERY NEARLY GETS HIS SOUL SUCKED OUTTA HIS BODY BEFORE DOT SAVES HIM AND HIS FIRST REACTION IS 

;;___;;

i feel like wakko and dot’s scares had little effect bc a) dot always thinks shes cute and b) wakko will eat anything whether or not its food, none of these are fears 

bUT YAKKO’S NAME AND WHOLE IDENTITY REVOLVE AROUND BEING THE “FUNNY GUY” THE GUY W THE JOKES! “THE ONE WHO YACKS” 

TLDR; MY BOY HAS A FULL ON PANIC ATTACK AND ALMOST DIES BC HES SO GENUINELY AFRAID OF NOT BEING FUNNY
