    Why are people repeating this rumour? If you Google Moltanbans pictures, you can see, he was stacked from a young age.

        People have repeated that rumor for years, which is why Animaniacs put it in the show in the first place.

        But I got the reference.

        I also like the episode where they distract the evil alien by saying, “look! It’s big fat Scotty from Star Trek!” Was it mean to James Doohan? Yeah, but I can’t help find that line hilarious.

            And I don’t know about Doohan, but Montalban most likely didn’t give a shit what a cartoon had to say about him considering he was perfectly happy to mock his own performance in Wrath of Khan on Freakazoid multiple times.

            And that show was written by former Animaniacs writers.

            Edit: Found a quote from Freakazoid-

            Because he tasks me. He tasks me. Round the moons of Snibya, I chuckle at thee. Beyond the Corpian clouds, I chuckle more at thee. Revenge is a dish best served with pinto beans and muffins. Kirk, old friend, I… Oh, sorry.

        Ah, ok. When I was watching Animaniacs, I didn’t know Star Trek, so I don’t remember the joke. But I did hear people seriously claiming the pecks were prosthetic.
