Baloney (Animaniacs)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baloney is a fictional character featured in the Warner Bros. animated television series Animaniacs. He's a parody of Barney the Dinosaur. His premire episode is a parody of the show Barney & Friends and he appeared in a few episodes throughout the series, including Animaniacs: Wakko's Wish. Much to the horror of Yakko, Wakko, and Dot, he is utterly unstoppable and impossible to kill despite being smashed repeatedly by anvils. Baloney was voiced by Jeff Bennett.
[edit] Trivia
- Baloney also made a cameo appearance on an episode of Pinky and The Brain, as well as on its spinoff Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain.
- Baloney also serves as an 'enemy' sort in the PC video game collection Animaniacs Game Pack, namely the 'Baloney's Balloon Bop' game. This Arkanoid- or Breakout-style game features Dot and Wakko using a trampoline to bounce Yakko into a field of balloons overhead. Baloney meanwhile patrols the bottom of the screen. Unlike other games of this sort, a life is not lost by letting Yakko fall under the paddle (or, in this case, trampoline)--it is only lost if Baloney himself catches Yakko.
