Anyone else remember the Animaniacs?

Yakko, Wakko and Dot were three of my favourite cartoon characters growing up. But were they educational as well as entertaining? I don’t remember being edified, but it seems the show’s creators snuck bits of knowledge in.

Here’s Yakko’s comprehensive, singing tour of global political geography - it’s dated (Yugoslavia, anyone?) and puts rhyme ahead of strict geographical fact, but it’s still a lot of fun.

See if you can keep up:
