Squit: Have you ever considered therapy for your repressed anger issues? I imagine it would help.
Pesto: Oh, they're not repressed. I'm expressing them a LOT.

How come Pesto keeps beating up Squit? What caused Pesto to get riled up so easily toward what others say?
Sorry for taking over a year to answer this. It was a hard year for me to think about Animaniacs lore and such, but I'm trying to get back to it.
Tumblr media
I'll start by saying the obvious, which is that the character Pesto is parodying is also short tempered. Pesto takes that to a comedic extreme by taking even completely innocent comments to be insults. His entire character is a parody of that one scene from Goodfellas (Rated R movie warning). That's not the kind of analysis you're here for, though. :)
Pesto seems to be both insecure and arrogant. He has an inflated view of himself but not always the highest intelligence, which is part of what leads him to twist Squit's big words into meaning things that they don't. I would say that the other half of it is that he expects to be insulted. He's insecure enough that he thinks everyone around him is out to get him. He jumps to conclusions without really hearing what Squit is saying and becomes extremely defensive at even the slightest provocation. He feels that he has to constantly prove his tough guy nature.
Tumblr media
Why Squit in particular, though? Pesto doesn't do this with anyone else. There's something that makes Pesto default to hostility when it comes to Squit. I think a lot of it has to do with Squit being the newest, most naive member of the Goodfeathers. Pesto was always suspicious of him and is always looking for a reason to resent him, even though Squit is a super nice guy in reality. It's like Pesto wants Squit to be mean to him, to insult him. He wants a reason to dislike Squit. Maybe he's unnerved by how nice Squit really is. That's foreign to a tough gangster type like him- it might seem insincere. I would say that he's looking for a reason to kick him out of the group, but he continues to do this even when he's warmed up to Squit being a full-on Goodfeather.
So in conclusion, I would say that Pesto has a superficial tough guy personality that he feels the need to maintain because of his insecurity. It's just the way that he was brought up. He's also scared, anxious even, that people around him are going to make fun of him. He has a fragile ego, or a low self-esteem, or both. If he feels like he's being made to be the butt of a joke in any possible way, he reacts with extreme aggression. He just can't take it.

Let's Rank the Animaniacs segments!
The order won't surprise you too much if you've followed me for a while or have seen a few of my Animaniacs-related posts (although my opinions on some segments have changed), but I figured it would be fun to rank them anyway (plus it relates to something I wanted to say regarding the characters, but I'll save that for the end). Sub series like Wheel of Morality and Dot's Poetry Corner don't count.
Segments I actively dislike
Worst - Katie Ka-Boom
Tumblr media
"lol teenage girls amiright?" No. Shut up. This isn't funny. Her catchphrase is dumb (“I’m not overreacting, I’m a teenager!”) and honestly her parents suck too (“Teenagers should be locked away until they’re 30.”) This is easily the most mean-spirited segment on the show, it reeks of bitterness.
The Hip Hippos
Tumblr media
The fat jokes suck and both hippos are boring characters with no real goal or motivation; but they are a genuinely wholesome couple and the idea of out of touch high class people being the stars of a segment is at the very least a good idea, they just botched the execution.
Chicken Boo
Tumblr media
The Chicken Boo segments are an okay joke told too many times in the exact same way.
Buttons and Mindy
Tumblr media
This segment is too mean spirited and is basically the same segment every time but I'm ranking them higher than Boo because Buttons and Mindy, as characters, are adorable and actually have personalities, unlike Boo (I'm aware Boo being like that is the point, but still).
Segments that are...OK
Mime Time
Tumblr media
I think The Mime being such a bland character actually improves these bumpers. I don't feel too bad when he gets hurt because we barely know him and his bumpers are brief, so we don't see him suffer for too long. Although I do think the slapstick is kinda just...fine.
The Flame
Tumblr media
These are little boring. I feel like the Warners do a better job with educational segments. These segments pretty much just exist to teach US history, but in a more tame yet in your face about how great they want kids to think America is way than when Warner segments would.
Randy Beaman Kid/Colin
Tumblr media
It sure is...a bumper.
The Incredible Gnome in People's Mouths
Tumblr media
This might be the weirdest premise of any Animaniacs segment, and that's saying a lot. It's alright.
Good Idea Bad Idea
Tumblr media
Easily the best non-sub series bumper for sure...but it's still just a bumper.
Starbox and Cindy
Tumblr media
This segment is kind of like Buttons and Mindy but since the protagonist is a bad person, his pain can actually be funny. It's also kind of like Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain if they didn't turn an iconic double act into an unremarkable trio. Hearing Cindy ramble about random stuff in the background is both cute and funny (I'll admit the Gnome probably should be higher because it's more of an original idea...but Cindy's adorable so I'm putting this higher lol).
Goodfeathers
Tumblr media
I didn't like their first segment, but a lot of their later ones are OK, even though many over-rely on the whole "and then the Goodfeathers get hurt" bit. They're not much more than a (now dated) reference, and I think the writers realised this eventually because they clearly gave up on them at one point. They get no segments in season 3, only one in season 4, in season 5 they just get cameos and bumpers, and they show up really late compared to everyone else in Wakko's Wish. Pesto's the only standout character here to me, I don't really care for Squit or Bobby.
Minerva Mink
Tumblr media
I like how she loves to wallow in self pity about how hard her life is yet is incredibly vain, manipulative and loves to be ruder than she needs to be. She's not a saint, but that's funny! I would've put her segments in the next tier if not for 1-the fact that she only has two segments so she never got to reach her full potential as a character and 2-the sheer amount of perv-pandering...which happens to be the reason why she only has two segments.
Segments I like!
Rita and Runt
Tumblr media
Their segments can be hit or miss, but I think the bad ones aren't bad enough and the good ones are good enough to warrant them being this high. Rita and Runt are both likeable characters, their segments aren't the funniest but they have a lot of heart. Not gonna lie Rita's probably the best singer on the show.
Slappy Squirrel
Tumblr media
She's basically what would happen if a Looney Tunes character ever actually grew to be old. She solves modern day problems with old school cartoon solutions, she's great!
Pinky and the Brain
Tumblr media
In truth, if it weren't for their spin off series and the Animaniacs reboot these guys would probably be under Slappy. I've dedicated at least four long posts to these two I'm not going into further detail lol.
Best - Yakko, Wakko, and Dot
Tumblr media
Chaotic good puppy children live out every kid's fantasy of fighting back against adults who mistreat them or others, what's not to like? I like that out of all the characters (aside from Slappy) they're the best homage to classic cartoons, between their designs and the fact that they often have entire segments that are homages to classic cartoons, like "The Girl with the Googily Goop", "The Warner's Vault" or "Yakko Amakko". Plus the Warners have one of the least formulaic segments on the show so that helps-great songs, cute sibling/family shenanigans, fun parodies, and just a whole bunch of zany chaos!
In all seriousness, the main reason I made this post is because a couple times I've seen people post/tweet something along the lines of "real Animaniacs fans like all/most segments" or "a true Animaniacs fan should like *blah blah blah* segments" and I just wanted to say...no.
If you only watch the show for the Warners, or just Slappy, or both Pinky and the Brain and Starbox and Cindy, or just Rita and Runt, Hip Hippos and Mime Time, or even literally only for Katie Kaboom, that's valid.
There's no quota for which segments you have to like. If you're a fan, you're a fan, no one else gets to decide that.

The character everyone else loves that I don’t:  Dot 😬 don't get me wrong, I don't despise her! I think she's a neat character! I just don't love her
The character I love that everyone else hates:  It's not so much that people hate him, I just don't see anyone talk about him. Pesto!! I adore that angy birb!
The character I used to love but don’t any longer: Minerva Mink! I like her, just not as much as I used to
The character I would totally smooch:  WAKKO (PLATONICALLY) OMG I LOVE HIM HE NEEDS SMOOCHES
The character I’d want to be like:  Yakko!! No explanation i'll let you figure that one out
The character I’d slap:  Plotz, I could drop kick that bitchy man child like a sack of potatoes

A pairing that I despise: I hate the idea of Hello Nurse and Dr. Scratchansniff, I'm so sorry. Hello Nurse is too cool to be straight and I also hc both her and Scratchy as aroace

I think about the Goodfeathers way too much.
Who here would believe it’s a coincidence that Pesto’s primarily comprised of the 3 colours used on the bisexual pride flag?
Tumblr media
Answer: Me. He was created 5 years before the current iteration of the bi flag.
HOWEVER,
I’m never giving up my headcanon that he and Squit are an item.
