Yakko

Yakko Warner

Yakko Warner (voiced by Rob Paulsen) is the tallest, oldest and most verbal (hence the name), and he serves as the ringleader of the two younger siblings. He has the amazing abilities to talk an unsuspecting (yet deserving) person's ear off. He's a big-time smart aleck, and can come up with a comeback to just about anything. Highly reminiscent of Groucho Marx and Bugs Bunny, he wears brown slacks with a belt in it, in which he can store and retrieve a number of improbable objects including a Yak. He also has a tendency to pounce on attractive women, normally with his catchphrase, "Helloooooo NURSE!" Yakko can sing the names of (nearly) every country of the world, as well as every word in the English language (although he's only shown singing words from the letters A, F (briefly), L and Z). He can even say Dot's full name without error. Yakko demonstrates a proficiency in speaking (proper and actual) Japanese as well. He is considered by many fans to be "the brains of the outfit"; the wittiest and most clever of the three Warner sibs. He also has the ability to rap. Also generally seen as the oldest (though his actual age is indeterminate), much of the show's more adult-leaning gags and one-liners are supplied by Yakko. Being the oldest, several times Yakko has shown a surprising amount of responsibility dealing with the welfare of his two younger siblings. He is also, in his own words, "allergic to anything that has lactose in it."
