"It would be dark and stylized. Who wants to watch that." Tim Burton gets up and leaves the room, visibly distraught.
-
"Wow! O.J. Simpson! It's really you!" cried the White Rabbit. "Right here in my room!" Run rabbit, run!
-
“Not an unintelligent Ox, your majesty. An oxy-moron” Stop the show. Nothing will top that line. It’s too clever for anything. No more stories can be written, the best thing has already been done
-
"The real OJ was standing over here" was his defense in court.
-
"We never hold a grudge" "That's okay, we'll hold it for you!" That almost made me choke on my own spit, holy shit that's amazing.
-
“Techno Bunny also wore rollerblades” Oh thank God, what a relief.
-
15:15 "Alice would relay her resolution's to her cat, who definitely did not care." Truer words have not been spoken about a cat.
-
"Walrus' don't hold a grudge." "That's ok, now that we're friends, we'll hold it for you!" Actually clever writing.
-
Production team: “Okay, so you gotta wear all this makeup and get in an overheated fursuit” “Well, I think I can work with tha- “ Production team: pulls out the roller skates
-
"Being a cat, Dinah wouldn't give much advice" I love the implication that Dinah did give some advice
-
"Wow O.J. Simpson! It's really you!" is now my favorite kid's book quote
-
As tempting as it is to laugh at the date nature of the show, the effort put into it is nothing short of commendable, especially the White Rabbit.
-
"And they collectively decide to stop being racist." That's gotta be the line of the episode for me.
-
Man they literally had a song called "I'm glad you're back on speaking terms".
-
In relation to the whole "Walrus Racism" thing Its a direct reference to the short story "The Walrus and the Carpenter" where the Walrus killed and ate an entire family of oysters after deceiving them into believing they we're gonna go on a merry adventure and then grab a bite to eat not knowing that THEY we're the ones going to be food.
-
Knowing how much Gilbert Godfrey loves classic comedy tropes, you can clearly see him hiding his absolute joy while getting hit with custard pies.
-
An episode where everybody's racist towards a walrus AND a lost episode with OJ Simpson in it? Oh this series has it all!
-
Remember when the White Rabbit testified at OJ's trial, putting forth the theory that it was the imaginary OJ who actually did the deed?
-
"Wow OJ Simpson, it's really you! Right here in my room!" Breaking News: This just in -- White Rabbit was found dead this morning in his Wonderland Home. Police have identified their primary suspect...

Probably a bit of a controversial take, but this show had my all-time FAVOURITE depictions of the Mad Hatter and March Hare. Being a kids show, they needed to portray the two's eccentrics without having them come off as insane, and I think they managed to pull it off in a way that made the two just silly and eccentric enough to not only not be annoying, but also help them stand out in a cast of other eccentrics.
