The Tooncinator
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
In a Terminator 2 send-up of the Toonces the Driving Cat sketches, host Linda Hamilton and Edward Furlong reprise Sarah and John Connor as they flee down a country road. Phil Hartman's Terminator climbs into their car to warn them of a worse threat: the Tooncinator, a cyborg cat in shades and a leather jacket sent back in time behind the wheel of his own car. The chase repeatedly ends with the cat plunging over a cliff, only for him to reappear unharmed. Sarah guesses he only wants to be their kitty, so they welcome him aboard and let him drive, and he takes everyone over the edge.

Not you again! I crushed you, then I melted you!
A robot cat. And he can drive. Just not very well.
