Airdate: September 27, 1993

Opening Line: "How Urbane-y"- Yakko, Wakko, Dot

Tower Escape: The Warners float away in a giant bubble

No Pain, No Painting: in 1905 France, the Warners bug a painter named Pablo Picasso while he's in a creative slump.

Les Miseranimals: Rita and Runt provoke an pet revolution when a restauranteer decides to put cat meat in his pies.

Tower Return: Wakko pulls out a switch from his gag bag that activates an escalator, but an anvil comes out of it and lands on Ralph when he tries to use it

No Pain, No Painting contains examples of:

  • Been There, Shaped History: This pretty much shows (inaccurately) the origin of Picasso's famous quote, "Good artists borrow, great artists steal."
  • Hollywood Board Games: The Warners engage in a game of Pictionary with a stuck-up, Eccentric Artist Pablo Picasso. The siblings start drawing in the yet-unknown cubist style, which ironically gets them criticized by Picasso for their lack of artistic aptitude. Meanwhile, they have no problem figuring out what Picasso's drawings are illustrating because he is, well, an accomplished artist nonetheless. Seeing that he's losing, Picasso decides to draw in a more realistic fashion, stopping the Warners in their tracks. After the game, Picasso decides to adopt the siblings' funny style as his own, discovering at last the art style he's been pursuing the whole episode.
  • Just a Stupid Accent: And the wrong one, to boot! Pablo is given a French accent, when he was actually a native of Spain.
  • Playing Pictionary: The Warners play Pictionary with Pablo Picasso. The Warners are unable to decipher his realistic drawings, while their weird-looking doodles leave him flummoxed. When an art dealer arrives and sees the Warner's drawings, he mistakes them for Picasso's and praises his new "Cubist" style.
  • Rimshot: Dot dreams of being a model.
    Dot: What does Christie Brinkley have that I don't have?
    Yakko and Wakko: Billy Joel?
    (stock footage of Wakko doing the rimshot from "Taming of the Screwy")
  • Toilet Humor: Picasso has his initials on his smock, leading to jokes about him having "P.P on your shirt".

Les Miseranimals contains examples of:

Closing Tower Gag: Yakko: "I'm Yakko" Wakko: "I'm Wakko." Dot: "And I'm cute!"
