This
is a Warner Bros. cartoon from
The Nineties, after all. To clarify, as seen in
the lyrics of the opening
, the line "We're comic dispensers, we crack up all the censors", heard as Buster hits the censors,
shattering them like glass,
is the third line of the song as a whole. WB just
loved shitting on the radar back in the day.
- The mere existence of Julie Bruin is but one example.
- From the Washingtoon episode, there's a surprisingly blatant example in a scene which has the Moral Guardian mentioning why she's there and then adds, "My card". We then see a license plate mentioning her "license to kill cartoons" displayed proudly on her butt.
- At one point in The Movie, Buster sprays Babs with a squirt gun. This would be innocent enough, except that it's played off as sexual assault.
- In The Looney Begininning (the first episode in which a human animator tries to create a new cartoon) Babs does a Dolly Parton impression she then makes her chest grow bigger, she then says "I'm a bustin' out all over".
- And then she follows it up with a Jessica Rabbit impression, complete with Buster's arousal.
- In Animaniacs (the episode, not the show), after Montana Max has been thrown out because of his scathing cartoon, we have a short Bugs and Daffy (who are judges along with Porky Pig for a animation festival). In it, we see Daffy reading a magazine called "Playduck" (which even features a skimpily dressed female duck on the front cover). Bugs quickly snatches it away from him... then himself reads it. See the wonder here.
- One episode had Buster and Babs going on a Fantastic Voyage into Furrball's body to help a family of fleas. Among their adventures, they discover Furrball's pleasure center and casually touch it. The result is effectively the cat having an orgasm.
- To say nothing of Fowlmouth's fondness for inserting the phrase "dad gum" into practically every line he had that wasn't completely bleeped out anyway...
- One episode has Babs drawn with obvious cleavage, and Fifi the skunk was literally buxom. If that's not enough... in the How I Spent My Summer Vacation movie, Fifi's boyfriend gets stolen away by what can only be described as the Kim Kardashian of skunks.
- The skunk's name? Bimbette!!
- They sing the Name Game in one episode, where characters' names have their first consonants replaced with 'm', 'f', and 'b'. In the end credits there is the line: "Name inadvertently left out of The Name Game: Plucky".
- Then there's that episode where Buster, Plucky, and Hamton got drunk and stole a car and drove off a cliff and died.
- The episode "Aroma Amore" has Fifi say to Furball when chasing him a "Jiggling Gigolo", which really means a "Male Prostitute".
- Much of the second half of the episode "Thirteensomething" indicates Plucky is clearly making not-at-all-subtle hints about wanting to have sex with Shirley.
- Shirley calls Plucky A "pluck face" in the same episode, similar to another rude name.
- Also from the episode, Babs transforms into a Madonna impression, then asks Buster, "Truth or dare?"
- In the same episode, when Babs gets to 30 Rock, David Letterman says "I'm not wearing pants."*
Added bonus: in
Real Life, Letterman said that a lot. He used to yell it out the window, even. At other news shows.
- Margo Mallard, particularly in The Acme Bowl. Did you see the hot tub scene? It's pretty clear what Rodrick means when he reminds Plucky about the "friendly classmates."
- Not to mention the way Plucky's betrayal is played in general. It almost reads as a cautionary tale: Kids, don't get in cars (or hot tubs) with evil preps!
- The Batman's parody segment of "Inside Plucky Duck" give us a glimpse to Batduck's belt, so the audience can know that this superhero carry this gadgets: Duck-A-Rang, Duck Soup, Duck Cuff and Duck Off.
- The (literally) spiked punch in the "Prom-ise Her Anything"
