Anchors A-Warners is an episode of Animaniacs.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) This episode is a sadistic knock-off combination of "Drive Insane", "Plane Pals" and "Bingo", but without the charm or likability of neither.
 * 2) The Warners have no purpose in the story than harassing Dr. Scratchansniff unproved, faking sympathy in front of a large woman and shouting "Bingo" a lot just to irritate  the other elders and pin the blame on Scratchansniff.
 * 3) * These jokes were taken from both "Drive Insane" and "Bingo", except they were shoehorned for the sake of the plot and made the Warners unlikable in the process.
 * 4) Yakko, Wakko and Dot neither get any comeuppance for their actions. They got away with torturing the psychiatrist who wants to have a vacation away from the Warner Bros. studio.
 * 5) The slapstick in this episode is painful and is nothing more than a torture fest for Dr. Scratchansniff on a cruise ship.
 * 6) * It feels like the story was written for a Gene Deitch Tom and Jerry short than a typical Animaniacs episode.
 * 7) Dr. Scratchansniff ends up in a cast from all the injuries he suffered in the episode,  making his pain more realistic than funny.
 * 8) This episode cruise trip is a good concept, but let down by the flanderization of the Warner Siblings.
 * 9) Bad Ending: Dr. Scratchansniff is charged a room service bill for the party with expensive prices, causing him to swim away at sea. The Warners also follow him in the sea to mess around with him some more.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The animation by AKOM is passable, but it doesn't save the bad writing of this episode.
 * 2) Dr. Scratchansniff is still a likeable character.
