Whether it's lengthy musical numbers patterned after Gilbert & Sullivan plays or jokes that veer into surprisingly dark territory, the new Animaniacs can be surprisingly edgy at times.

In case you were wondering, yes, there's still a fair amount of political humor targeted at the previous presidential administration.
