“Hey, you’re the one showing me all the sexy pictures!”

From: Animaniacs

Genre: Cartoons, Television

Who said it?: Yakko Warner

The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes from the Warner Bros. animated series, Animaniacs. A kind of variety show with different skits, Animaniacs mainly focus on Yakko, Wakko and Dot, the Warner siblings. They usually go on different comedy skits along with the rest of the supporting cast. 

The quote comes one of the skits that leads into one of the next cartoon. Dr. Scratchansniff (voiced by Rob Paulsen) delivering an inkblot test to Yakko Warner (also voiced by Rob Paulsen). Despite some of the inkblots looking like something very specific, Yakko only sees girls. When Dr. Scratchansniff exasperatedly stats Yakko is obsessed with girl, Yakko defends himself by delivering the quote.  

Geek wisdom: People will view different scenes and scenarios differently because of several factors, such as upbringing, mood, etc. This actually is a good thing as we should always be open to different viewpoints.

“Life is good. But it can be better.”

From: Wonder Woman 1984

Genre: Movies, Comics

Who said it?: Maxwell Lord

The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes from the most recent live-action superhero film from Warner Bros. and DC, Wonder Woman 1984. This time around, Wonder Woman (played again by Gal Gadot) takes on Maxwell Lord, a struggling businessman with big dreams, who has managed to come across the Dreamstone, a mysterious object that can grant anyone’s deepest desires but with a cost.

The quote is said several times throughout the film as it is what Maxwell Lord (played by Pedro Pascal) says as his catchphrase and mantra. He basically uses this catchphrase as well as his charisma to paint himself as a successful person.

Geek wisdom: Although the way Maxwell Lord did try to build his success was skewed, that doesn’t mean what he says isn’t bad. Even when things are good, we should always try to get better. We can try to be healthier, save more money and indulge in life as much as we can because, even when things are okay, that doesn’t mean we have to settle for it.
