This
is a Warner Bros. cartoon from
The Nineties, after all. As far as
Getting Crap Past the Radar goes, it
is good, but nowhere
near as outrageous as
Animaniacs. Still, it has its moments and those moments should be shared:
- In The Looney Begininning (the first episode where a human animator tries to come up with a new TV cartoon and creates Buster and Babs Bunny) Babs does a Dolly Parton impression she then makes her chest grow bigger, she then says "I'm a bustin' out all over".
- 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."
- The entirety of "Dating, Acme Acres Style." Among other things, there's Buster's exaggerated reactions to Babs (Babs: "Rule #1, girls: never underestimate the power of spandex."), particularly the second time, where Babs has to douse him in cold water to get him to calm down. There's also a radar-busting-in-general Fifi Le Fume cartoon - in which she calls Calamity (who she's thinks is a skunk) "my reason for puberty" in French.
- 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 (as in, "When Plucky drank it, he had to spit it out because he nearly swallowed an actual railroad spike") in the "Prom-ise Her Anything"
- The page image for the main Western Animation branch of Getting Crap Past the Radar is taken from this show. In case you somehow missed it, it's a shot of Daffy Duck reading "Playduck" magazine (and it has an ad for cigarettes on the back).
- Plucky's gonna be
an only child.
