Dr. Otto Scratchansniff

Dr. Otto Scratchansniff is a fictional character on the Animaniacs animated television series.

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, but they usually display a near-paternal affection for him.

A stereotypical Freudian psychologist, Scratchansniff keeps a bust of Sigmund Freud 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.

Scratchansniff was not always bald; in one "flashback" episode, he sported a full head of shaggy gray hair. Upon meeting the Warners for the first time, he grew so exasperated he ripped out every single hair.

Dr. Scratchansniff is voiced by Rob Paulsen, who also provided numerous other voices for the show (including that of Yakko Warner).
