The twentieth episode of Tiny Toon Adventures, but the fourth in production order.
Buster and Babs describe the episode as a "viewer request" day. Plucky invents the ACME Brain Wave Scan-O-Meter machine to pick who will star in each segment, but becomes frustrated when it fails to pick him.
Short One: "Debutante Devil"
Taz gives Dizzy instructions to eat Babs. She then corrects Dizzy's behavior by giving him a finishing school-style routine.
Short Two: "Sleight of Hare"
Buster works as a magician's rabbit at Montana Max's birthday party, then gets revenge after the magician quits due to Monty's constant interruptions.
Short Three: "Duck Out of Luck"
Plucky successfully rigs the mind-reading machine to select him as the star of the last cartoon, but Buster and Babs say that the viewers decide what happens to Plucky within the short. Plucky goes through several transformations and settings.
This episode provides examples of:
Overall:
- …But He Sounds Handsome: The Tiny Toons fan who compliments Babs and asks specifically for cartoons about her… looks like Babs.
- The Cameo: In the first wraparound, Lightning Rodriguez, Speedy Gonzales' scrapped Tiny Toons counterpart can be seen among the list of choices, as well as scrapped Foghorn Leghorn and Gremlin counterparts (the former of which looks nothing like Fowlmouth, who would not be introduced for some time.)
- Credits Gag: Guy who says "Narf" - Eddie Fitzgerald.
- Didn't Think This Through: In the second wraparound, Plucky tries to get himself to be chosen for the second short by removing Babs from the Acme Brain Wave Scan-O-Meter's list of choices. Unfortunately, he didn't count on Buster being chosen for the second short. In the third wraparound, he removes every other choice from the Acme Brain Wave Scan-O-Meter, so by default, he'll have to be chosen.
- Fake Interactivity: Plucky invents the Acme Brain Wave Scan-O-Meter to read the viewers' minds and determine who will star in the upcoming cartoons. "Duck Out of Luck" takes this another level by giving the viewers control over Plucky's fate.
- Thick-Line Animation: As is typical of an early Wang Film Productions episode at this point in the series; Debutante Devil exhibiting this the most out of all three shorts.

- Book on the Head: Babs makes Dizzy do this. She then puts a bunch of heavy objects on top of it, including more books, a refrigerator, a safe, a car, a steamroller, a tugboat, a space shuttle, several boxes, and the White House. It all crashes down on Dizzy when she adds a piece of tissue paper.
- Disney Villain Death: Dizzy falls off a cliff and through ACME Looniversity after Babs tricks him into saying a tongue twister with a mouth full of rocks.

- Pygmalion Plot: Played with, as Babs' attempts to improve Dizzy's manners are just a ploy to keep him from eating her.
- Tongue Twister: The Valley Girl inflected "The walls on the mall are totally, totally tall." Babs makes Dizzy say it with marbles in his mouth to improve his elocution.
