* BadBadActing: When Hamton is told by Plucky to plant a bomb in the villain's hide, he knocks himself out by accident and two thugs find him. Their acting is very wooden:
-->'''Thug 1:''' (monotonous) Look, it is Decoy the pig hostage. We must bring him inside.\\
'''Thug 2:''' (unenthusiastically) What is this thing? (picking up the bomb)\\
'''Thug 1:''' (just as unenthusiastic) Who cares? Just toss it over into the all-concealing shadows.
* BaitAndSwitch: When the [=BatduckMobile=] leaves the Duck Cave, a view of what looks like it driving down the road is shown. However, the camera zooms out, revealing it to be a video game that Hamton is playing, and the [=BatduckMobile=] to be stuck in traffic.



* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Plucky sends Hamton to plant a bomb in the villain's hide while he hides into the all-concealing shadows. The two thugs find the bomb and toss it into the all-concealing shadows, where it explodes on Plucky.

The 39th episode the first season of ''Tiny Toon Adventures'' (and 39th overall).

In this episode, Buster and Babs invite the viewer on a trip into the mind of Plucky Duck.

''First Short'': "Bat's All Folks!"

An AffectionateParody of ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' and taking place in a fantasy sequence of Plucky's, Plucky is a wealthy owner of a large mansion by day, crime-fighter by the name of Batduck by night. The story features Batduck and his faithful sidekick Decoy going off to stop a scheme by the local RoguesGallery.

''Second Short'': "Wild Takes Class"

Disatisfied by the wild takes Bugs Bunny is teaching them in class, Plucky desires to learn the wild takes taught by Daffy Duck in the advanced wild takes class. Unfortunately for Plucky, Plucky winds up frozen in a Clampett Corneal Catastrophe, and class pictures are coming up soon...

!!Tropes found in this episode include:

''Overall'':
* FantasticVoyagePlot[=/=]JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: The premise of the wraparound segments.

''Bat's All Folks!'':
* AffectionateParody: of ''Batman'' as a whole.
* {{Expy}}: Naturally, Batduck's RoguesGallery consists of parodies of actual ''Batman'' villains. Jackster is The Joker, Puffin is The Penguin, Question Mark is The Riddler, and Polecat Woman is Catwoman.
* KitchenSinkIncluded: As Batduck and Decoy plummet down the side of a building near the end, Batduck begins searching his gadgets for a grappling hook and one of the objects he pulls out is a sink.
* TakeThat: As Plucky/Spruce Vain searches through an animal encyclopedia for an animal he can theme his superhero persona after, the idea of theming himself after a "[[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles mutant ninja tortoise]]" disgusts him.
* VisualPun: Plucky's first idea for a Batduck costume involves him dressed as a (baseball) bat.

''Wild Takes Class'':
* EyeScream: Narrowly averted when Buster takes Plucky to the nurse's office: Upon getting shoved into the building, Plucky rebounds off walls and nearly lands on a small surgical blade that Elmyra is holding.
* EyeTake: The conflict of the episode comes from Plucky getting stuck in one of these, namely the Clampett Corneal Catastrophe. (Like what was used by Daffy Duck back in the ''Looney Tunes'' short ''WesternAnimation/BookRevue''.
* HurricaneOfPuns: Once Babs finds out what happened to Plucky, she can't help but toss a few "eye" related puns around.
* MythologyGag: The use of Daffy's ''Book Revue'' wild take as the one that Plucky gets stuck in.
* NeverMyFault: Naturally, Plucky blames Buster for being stuck in the Clampett Corneal Catastrophe even though Plucky was the one who wanted to do them in the first place.
* PictureDay: It's eventually revealed that Plucky happened to get stuck in the Clampett Corneal Catastrophe on class picture day.
* WildTake: The focal point of the episode; the Looniversity even has multiple classes for them.
