25	''Love Among the Toons:''
26
27	* CupidsArrow: Elmer hires Concord to take his place as he gets tired of his job as Cupid. Concord proves incompetent by pairing up the Tiny Toons cast with the wrong matches (one example being Babs falling for Montana Max), causing God to force Elmer to step in and fix things.

29	* TheHunterBecomesTheHunted: Calamity Coyote ends up getting chased by Little Beeper when Concord shoots the latter with an arrow.

32	* MediumShiftGag: Though not really animated, we see clay model versions of the toons through a [=ViewMaster=] when God shows Elmer what happened to everyone in ACME Acres.
33	* ShoutOut: Elmer as Cupid is a nod to the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short "WesternAnimation/TheStupidCupid".
34	* WatchWhereYoureGoing: Thanks to Concord taking over for Elmer, Monty and Babs get hit by Cupid's arrows. They do a MeadowRun but don't stop and smack into each other.

36	''Elmyra's Spring Cleaning:''
37
38	* DrivenToSuicide: Unable to find more water, Elmyra's pet goldfish digs his own grave and looks sadly at a picture of his wife and kids. He jumps in and buries himself just as his wish for more water is granted when Elmyra's vacuum explodes from sucking up too much water from her sink.
39	* LaserGuidedKarma: For draining her pet goldfish's bowl of its water and denying him more water, as well as torturing her various pets, Elmyra has her vacuum explode from sucking up too much water from her sink, and her pet goldfish squirts water in her face.
40	* NoDialogueEpisode: Much of the short is this, to the music of Creator/JohannStrauss' ''Tales from Vienna Woods''.
41	* RemovableShell: Tyrone's shell is revealed to be this when he puts it on and tries to escape from Elmyra's house.
42	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When Elmyra sucks up some of her smaller pets in her vacuum cleaner, Furrball and Concord run out of Elmyra's house, as do a few of the other pets.
43	* TemporaryBulkChange: Elmyra's pet goldfish gets fat from eating the salted peanuts Elmyra feeds him. He's back to his normal weight in the next scene, when he looks for some water.
44	* TrashTheSet: When Elmyra's vacuum cleaner is set to the '''SUPER APOCALYPSE OVERDRIVE''' setting, she ends up inadvertently tearing her house apart, as well as sucking up a tree and Dizzy's doghouse.

49	* AmazonianBeauty: The beauty pageant contestants turn out to be female bodybuilders.
50	* BigBallOfViolence: Plucky gets caught in one of these as a result of being unable to decide who the winner of the beauty pageant is.
51	* GrowingMusclesSequence: At first, the contestants of the beauty pageant seem like your average MsFanservice-types, with ImpossibleHourglassFigure. Then they flex, and instantly grow muscular bodies while keeping their gorgeous faces.
52	* LaserGuidedKarma: For playing sick and having Dizzy do the first two dangerous stunts for him, Plucky gets beaten up by the pageant girls when he can't decide on a winner, and loses the grand prize of $100,000.00.
53	* MatchInABombshack: When Plucky tricks Dizzy into looking for the needle in the haystack for him after finding dynamite within the haystack, Biff Blasday decides to turn off the lights to make things more interesting. Plucky asks him, "Well, how's he supposed to see in there? Light a crummy match?". Dizzy does so, causing the dynamite to explode. He and Plucky still win the challenge when Plucky finds the needle now lodged in Dizzy's butt.
54	* PlayingSick: Plucky does this to get out of doing the dangerous stunts that he makes Dizzy do.
55	* RuleOfThree: Three challenges are shown in this short; In the first challenge, the contestant must last for five minutes in a demolition derby, with only a helmet, roller skates, and an inner tube. In the second, the contestant must find a needle in a dark building filled with boxes of fireworks hidden under haystacks, and in the third, the contestant must judge a beauty contest where all the pageant girls are muscular.
56	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Dizzy refuses to do the third challenge after he gets blown up by dynamite and gets the needle lodged in his butt in the second challenge.
57	* SoreLoser: Surrounded by muscular, violent ladies in a beauty pageant, Plucky randomly chooses one. The other three proceed to pound Plucky silly to force him to change his answer, getting the initial pick involved as well...
58	* ThrowTheDogABone: After all the abuse he suffers in the first two challenges, Dizzy gets the judge button as a consolation prize. He's satisfied, especially since Plucky is getting beat up by pageant girls.
59	* TitleDrop: Used many times in this short.
