* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Despite Scratchensniff successfully training the Warners to behave, the moment they have finished talking to his clients, Mr. Plotz kicks them out of the banquet regardless, because he doesn't trust them ''not'' to screw things up for any longer than that brief amount of time. Snubbed and insulted, the Warners return to the banquet and ruin it in their usual KarmicTrickster fashion. In a nutshell, if Mr. Plotz had just let them stay since they were behaving, the entire thing would have gone off without a hitch.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Mr Plotz only invites the Warners because foreign investors want to meet all of the workers at the Warner Bros. studio. The moment they have finished their hellos and impressed the potential clients, Mr. Plotz kicks the Warners out of the banquet, not wanting to deal with them a moment longer than he has to.
