Yakko Warner is one of the three main siblings in the Animaniacs series. With his persistent leadership, playful atmosphere, flirty woes, and smart mindsets, you can tell why he is considered a memorable sibling. If you desire to be inspired by his looks and personality, or if you need to look your best during cosplaying, this article will provide you with some pointers to achieve a complete cosplay of Yakko.
Steps
Method 1
Method 1 of 2:
Preparing the Looks
-
Find a belt and pants colored in a neutral smoky topaz color. In his public appearances, Yakko wears neutral colored pants that are above his waist. While you don't have to wear the pants up to your ribcage, you can add a black belt between your pants and top. If you can't find a pair of pants that are the same hue as Yakko's pants, khaki pants are a good substitute.
-
Get yourself a red nose. To get the red nose, simply use face paint to paint the tip of your nose red or get a red nose from a costume store near you. You may also buy one online or construct one out of red foam.Advertisement
-
Put on your white gloves. He wears white gloves on his hands in all of his outfits. These gloves are commonly available and can be found online.
-
Wear his black fur. He has black fur on the outside of his jeans. You can cover the remainder of your body with a black shirt, which you can readily find in your local clothes store. It's best to wear a long-sleeved black shirt with no patterns.
-
Get yourself some ears. For the ears, cut out two folded-together shapes from black felt with pipe cleaners to hold them up (you could also make them out of construction paper). Then attach them to a black headband. Another option is to buy a set of ears at a costume store or online.
-
Paint your face (optional). If you want, you can paint a section of black and white around your face to specifically look like you have fur. To do this, paint a section of white around your face and a black outline around it, extending it outward towards your ears and up to your hairline.
-
Add a tail (optional). Another item you can add if you want is a tail. You could either buy a black tail at a costume store/online or make a tail out of black fabric. Attach the tail to the back of your pants under the belt.Advertisement
Method 2
Method 2 of 2:
-
Have a passion for geography/math, and educate yourself on these subjects. It is clear from his educational songs (and the show) that he has a passion for these subjects. You may need to study geography/math several times to get a good understanding.
-
Love your sibling(s). In the majority of the episodes, he treats his siblings kindly and as a caring leader. If you haven't already, express your gratitude to your siblings with an open heart; they may regard you as friendly.
- Have a positive attitude to be seen as the leader, as Yakko rarely gives up once he begins a task.
-
Take a zany factor into account for wordplay and multitasking. While the show focuses on adversary behavior, adapting a multitasking factor and the selection of your words in a sentence can be essential for him. In the segment "Hearts of Twilight," he continues to recite orders while using two paddle balls at the same time. Try working on your project while saying the same phrase multiple times at the same time.
- He also enjoys making puns in the situation he is currently in, which is also done due to his zaniness.
-
Have a sense of adult humor. Yakko appears to have a good sense of innuendos in the show. When he notices one, he blows a kiss and says, "Goodnight, everybody!" You can try to develop the habit of making a lot of these jokes on purpose, but don't overdo it.
-
Say "Hello Nurse" when you meet an attractive female. This gag is repeated several times in the show, in which Yakko and his brother Wakko say this line and then immediately jump up on Hello Nurse (or the targeted girl). Whether or not you are confident in your ability to complete this task, you can show your friend your support by saying "Hello (name)!" Avoid doing this step if they are startled or dislike the joke.
-
Avoid displaying signs of agitation if you can. In the show, Yakko appears to have a nonchalant tone of ignoring how others perceive him, but he may show signs of agitation if the situation allows it. If you appear to be stressed in your current situation, you may need to remember a happy song to calm down.
-
Know some of Yakko's notable catchphrases:
- "Our new special friend!" - exclaimed when meeting a new person.
- "Uhhhhh/Ahhhhh......." - exclaimed when his mind turns blank or if he forgets something. He additionally says this if he is preparing to say a sarcastic remark.
- "It's that time again." - expressed when introducing a recurring segment. This is seen regularly in the segment "Wheel of Mortality".
-
Watch the Animaniacs show. Watching the show can help you come up with cosplay ideas for Yakko - you can watch the original series episodes as well as the revival series. You get a good idea of what Yakko does in the shows, and you can try to imitate these actions for your cosplay!Advertisement
