** "The audience is now deaf." Often [[labelnote:Explanation]]From a scene in "How I Spent My Vacation" that featured a parody of the THX logo that plays before movies. These days, it's used often in youtube Website/YouTube comments in as a response to when whenever a video is [[SensoryAbuse extremely loud.]][[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuxD_pElm9o April 6, 2021]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Also from "How I Spent My Vacation", Plucky, while on a long car ride with Hamton and his family to the Happy World Land theme park, starts calculating when they will arrive at their destination, and concludes that at the rate they're going, they'll arrive on this date. When it finally rolled around in RealLife, that clip was passed around on... oh, pretty much every social media platform known to man.[[/labelnote]]

** "No relation."[[labelnote:Explanation]]One RunningGag on the show was Babs Bunny & Buster Bunny following their self-introductions by saying "No relation". The line gets used for SimilarlyNamedWorks or characters, among other things.[[/labelnote]]

** Much like her predecessor, Fifi has been gaining quite a bit of complaints about how her shorts were handled, as two of the four are merely GenderFlipped version of Pepe's shorts of old. Back in the 90s, this was seen as more 'acceptable' due to [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale Fifi being female and her targets male]], something which wouldn't be viewed as 'acceptable' today. With Fifi confirmed to be returning in the reboot, it remains to be seen how she'll be handled in that compared to the original show.

** In the episode "A Cat's Eye View", there's a scene where Plucky watches then Disney chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg telling three yes-men of his that he plans to put ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs" on home video as he gets out his limo. Two years after this episode aired in 1992, that did indeed happen in 1994.

* DesignatedHero:
** Buster and Babs, who are supposed to be the [[BigDamnHeroes heroes of the show]], but are not above tormenting and heckling others just for fun, even if said person did nothing to deserve such treatment.
*** Such examples include stealing Montana Max's money, among other things, in "Lifestyles of the Rich and Rotten", when the worst thing Montana Max did to them was rudely change his mind about interviewing them, raining anvils down on [[ButtMonkey Plucky]] and blasting him with cannons during "The Anvil Chorus" even though he had just spent the entire episode up to that point tied up, putting Plucky in their place to get beat up by the wolverine that was chasing them in "Washingtoon", and placing bunny ears on him in the Spring Break Special in order to make Elmyra think he's the Easter rabbit ''just'' to get her off their skins [[LackOfEmpathy and they show no concern for Plucky's fate at the hands of her and just crack jokes about it]].

** Plucky, he may be a [[ItsAllAboutMe self-centered]], [[{{Jerkass}} rude]], and [[{{Narcissist}} narcissistic]] jerk, but there is the somewhat common occasion where he isn't being a jerk or bothering anyone, yet even during those moments the show still wants us to see him as a [[{{Jerkass}} spiteful jackass]] who [[AssholeVictim deserves every bit of what happens to him]].
*** Examples include "The Anvil Chorus", where he is tangled up in a rope as Buster and Babs' puppet and gets trampled by the Elmyra clones at one point, and later gets anvils dropped on him and cannons fired at him by the duo, and in "Washingtoon", where he is shown in the wrong for joining forces with the Adults Against Funny Cartoons Chairperson, but he has good reasons to get back at Buster and Babs as they intentionally placed Plucky as the victim of the wolverine when it was chasing them and having it beat him up ''when he wasn't even in the cartoon!''

** In "Weekday Afternoon Live", Dizzy says "Who cares about Creator/KieferSutherland?!" If [[Series/TwentyFour a hit show]] from a few years later is anything to go by, a lot of people.
*** In the same sketch, Hamton reviews a film called “Gnome Alone Again”, an obvious parody of the Film/HomeAlone series. Many years later, there would be a real film called WesternAnimation/GnomeAlone.

While not ''as'' bad as some of the Looney Tunes shorts of old since most of the comedy came from lampooning then current celebrities and movies, a few gags that slipped over from the Looney Tunes era have become this.

* VindicatedByHistory: During its initial run, ''Tiny Toon Adventures'' received criticism for being a watered-down version of the classic Looney Tunes cartoons, and was often overlooked in favor of other WB cartoons. Upon being discontinued, the show was overshadowed by ''Animaniacs'', and it ended up disappearing into obscurity for a time. ''Tiny Toon Adventures'' came back into prominence via reruns on cable channels as well as home video releases, and is now considered one of the better successors to the Looney Tunes shorts of old, right down to still having quite a big fandom.

!! The 1991 video game:

* NintendoHard: The game starts off innocently, but as it progresses the levels become more difficult due to the density of enemy population, and some parts require precise jumps. It culminates with the sadistic final level, taking place inside Max's mansion, with sadistic hazards and enemies. The game plays as though it were designed by [[Film/InTheMouthOfMadness Sutter Caine]].

** Despite her BaseBreakingCharacter status, Fifi is again the more popular character. She appears infrequently in episodes and only has 4 shorts of her own, but is by far the one of the most popular character with the fandom, for [[MsFanservice obvious]] [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench reasons]], and many fans wish that she had a bigger role. Being a RidiculouslyCuteCritter and a [[TheWoobie sympathetic character]] also helps. This is probably also why she got cameos in ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' as well as her being confirmed to return in ''Looniversity'' despite her predecessor Pepe le Pew being removed from the company's products.
*** Lampshaded in the special ''Night Ghoulery".

* FandomEnragingMisconception: No, ''Tiny Toon Adventures'' is '''not''' a show for pre-schoolers. That's not to say that pre-schoolers can't watch it, but it's designed for general audiences first; kids are the primary demographic, but in more of an age 4-12 bracket. The series has struggled with this misconception with a lot of people dismissing it as "''Looney Tunes'' for babies", not helped by shows such as ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' which portrayed it as a toddler show.

[[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] gamers in particular are likely to pick [[VideoGame/TinyToonAdventures the first game]] or [[VideoGame/TinyToonAdventures2TroubleInWackyland its sequel]] due to each one having a wide variety of playable characters, [[UsefulNotes/SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem SNES]] gamers are likely to pick ''[[VideoGame/TinyToonAdventuresBusterBustsLoose Buster Busts Loose]]'', due to having levels based on specific episodes of the TV series and bonus stages where one can play as one of Buster's friends, and UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis gamers are likely to pick ''[[VideoGame/TinyToonAdventuresBustersHiddenTreasure Buster's Hidden Treasure]]'' due to being fairly lengthy and sharing many similarities with the ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' games. [[UsefulNotes/Playstation2 PS2]] gamers who are aware of ''[[VideoGame/TinyToonAdventuresDefendersOfTheUniverse Defenders of the Universe]]'' and have played it via emulator or modded [=PS2=] are likely to pick it due to it's unique, addicting gameplay, the return of all the original voice actors of the show and its large roster of playable characters.

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: The Terraglyph and Warthog games are considered ''especially'' bad, since they were largely made as preschool games... when they came out ''years'' after the show ended its original run. The last one in the UsefulNotes/PlayStation trilogy in particular came out when much of the show's ''original'' target audience would've been in high school or college at the time of release. You would ''think'' they would've used the extra time to work on a game fans of all ages could enjoy, but nope!

** Montana Max is meant to be one of the main antagonists of the show and supposed to be unlikable due to his greedy, selfish, and overall {{Jerkass}} ways. He's also a pretty entertaining ButtMonkey (like his equivalent, Yosemite Sam) whose RefugeInAudacity qualities, including his BrutalHonesty and obnoxiously obscene wealth, provides plenty of humor.

** The animation provided by Creator/KennedyCartoons. One half of the fandom dislikes them for their wonky, off-model animation that is sometimes downright ugly to look at, while the other half will defend them because their work is actually very fluid and expressive, and they were among the more unique studios working on the show. In any case, the show's crew sided with the former camp and fired them after Season 1.

** Fifi and Hamton's entire reason for being together in the show relies purely on PairTheSpares, both being the third 'odd-one-out' of their respective {{Power Trio}}s. Their relationship started by Hamton nervously asking Fifi to the prom despite never showing interest in her before the episode, and [[AssPull "revealing"]] he secretly had a crush on her which came completely out of the blue. Also, after their date in "Prom-ise Her Anything," the pairing was only seldom referenced again in the form of [[https://tinytoons.fandom.com/wiki/Hamton_and_Fifi%27s_Relationship#Episodes_featuring_the_two_as_a_couple.2Flove_interests the occasional brief gag or vague reference]] ([[AuthorAppeal All of which were episodes written or co-written by Paul Dini who also worked on the prom episode]]).

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Everything that this show laid the groundwork for (lush animation, orchestral score, sophisticated writing) would be not only repeated but improved upon with Creator/StevenSpielberg's next cartoon ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''. ''TTA'', while it had plenty of [[ParentalBonus jokes for grown ups]], was still, first and foremost, a children's show and is considered to be tame compared to its successor. Ironically, ''Tiny Toons'' had [[PeripheryDemographic a dedicated college-aged fanbase]] when it aired, while the more "adult" ''Animaniacs'' was mostly popular with kids.
