more cartoon flashbacks: The Critic

I know I was only one of two people who actually used to watch The Critic, so for those who didn't...

Well, first off, you should know that Orson Welles once attempted to record several British TV commercials, but eventually walked out of the recording session, citing the poor writing material and direction. The incident is usually called "Frozen Peas," after one of the products being advertised. Bootleg audio of this has been around for years, and it has been parodied numerous times. Animaniacs did a full reproduction of the incident, with Brain in place of Welles (video here).

Now then, on to my favorite series of Critic clips:

(And yes, the same actor, Maurice LaMarche, does the voice of Brain and Welles.)
