Dr. Scratchansniff, the Warner Bros. studio psychiatrist, is a tall, thin, bald man who speaks with a thick Austrian accent. He has an oddly peanut-shaped head and wears very thick glasses. His primary job, as dictated by studio CEO Thaddeus Plotz, is to attempt to "civilize" the out-of-control Warner Brothers and Sister. At times, he seems to be the Warners' guardian as well, waking them up and driving them to a carnival in the short film I'm Mad. The Warners vex him endlessly, such as kissing him in a confusing manner or pronouncing the name of his occupation as "pea-sychiatrist" (rather than ignoring the silent "p"), but they usually display a near-filial affection for him. By comparison, Otto seems to dislike the Warners less than all the other regular characters, when they aren't being obnoxious. Warner Bros. ...

A stereotypical Freudian psychologist, Scratchansniff keeps a bust of Sigmund Freud, which is also, apparently, a giant Pez dispenser, on his desk which he occasionally talks to. His incredibly sexy nurse, named Hello Nurse, assists him in his attempts to capture, tame and subdue the Warner siblings. Although he attempts to remain calm and rational, the Warners' zany antics routinely drive him to frustrated raving. Sigmund Freud Sigmund Freud (IPA: []) (May 6, 1856 – September 23, 1939) was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of the psychoanalytic school of psychology. ...

Scratchansniff was not always bald; in the very first episode, which was a "flashback" episode, he sported a full head of shaggy gray hair (which was originally brown, as shown in pictures from his younger days). Upon meeting the Warners for the first time, he grew so exasperated with them over the course of their initial therapy sessions that, over time, he ripped out every single hair in frustration. In literature and film, a flashback (also called analepsis) takes the narrative back in time from the point the story has reached, to recount events that happened before and give the back-story. ...
Occasionally, Scratchansniff brings out Mr. Puppethead, a hand puppet in his likeness, with which he tries to use to speak with the Warners. However, Scratchansniff usually ends up talking with the puppet himself, questioning his own sanity.
Dr. Scratchansniff is voiced by Rob Paulsen, who also provided numerous other voices for the show (including that of Yakko Warner). In the show's Japanese dub, Dr. Scratchansniff is voiced by Mitsuru Ogata. Rob Paulsen won the Daytime Emmy Award in 1999 for his work on Pinky and the Brain. ...
