** Presumably, Plucky was mistakenly drawn into the classroom scenes in the beginning of the episode even though he's supposed to be outside the classroom when Buster leaves to face the principal, resulting in a [[http://tinytoons.wikia.com/wiki/File:Yosemite_Sam_sends_Buster_to_the_principal%27s_office.png purple Plucky doppelganger in a light blue tank top]] being present in all of these particular scenes. At the end of the episode, Plucky is back in the classroom and his purple doppelganger disappears.
*** Calamity's nose is also black instead of red like it usually is as Buster leaves the classroom.
** Mary Melody is mis-colored as a [[http://tinytoons.wikia.com/wiki/File:MaryMelodyWhiteGirlGoof.png Caucasian girl with light brown hair]] in one classroom shot.
** At the end of the short, Bugs is drawn without whiskers and has a Buster-like face in one shot.



* OffModel:
** During the preceding wraparound segment, Calamity Coyote is [[http://tinytoons.wikia.com/wiki/File:Calamity_with_no_shoes.png missing his shoes]].
** In the short itself, Sweetie's arm/wing [[http://tinytoons.wikia.com/wiki/File:Green_Hand_Sweetie.png is green]] as she holds an onion up to Bookworm.



* OffModel:
** Some of the students shown as being in class before Plucky leaves are later seen at the nurse's office when he gets there.
** Throughout the short in general, Elmyra rarely if ever looks on model. In a number of shots she looks about two feet taller than she's supposed to, and the shape of her head is barely ever what it's supposed to.
** Plucky's trademark tank-top inexplicably turns into a long sleeved shirt in several shots at the nurse's office.

The 42nd episode of the first season of ''Tiny Toon Adventures'' and the 42nd overall, "Looniversity Daze" sees Buster and Babs taking the viewers on a trip to ACME Looniversity to see what a typical school day there is like. This episode is also the second episode animated by Creator/EncoreCartoons.

''First Short'': "The Learning Principal"

Yosemite Sam gets frustrated with the small pranks that Buster is pulling on him and sends him to the principal's office. As the principal is rumored to be a merciless monster that the students dread to meet, everyone worries for Buster's life.

''Second Short'': "Eating Between The Lines"

During lunchtime, the Bookworm hits the library. However, Sweetie Bird knows that Bookworm goes here for lunch and is waiting for him. Chasing ensues.

''Third Short'': "What's Up, Nurse?"

Not wanting to take a pop quiz in Foghorn Leghorn's class, Plucky fakes an illness so he can get sent to the nurse's office and spend his time there for the duration of the quiz. Plucky is in for a nasty shock, however, when it turns out that the nurse is Elmyra!

!!Tropes found in this episode include:

''Overall'':
* CreditsGag: '''The Show is Over''': Go Do Your Homework!
* MusicalEpisode: Buster and Babs sing throughout all the wraparounds. (Though the shorts otherwise aren't this.)
* OffModel: One of the sloppiest and [[LimitedAnimation primitive-looking]] episodes of the series. There are a number of continuity errors throughout, as well.

''The Learning Principal'':
* FlyingFace: The apparent appearance of the principal.
* HairTriggerTemper: Yosemite Sam is in this episode. 'Nuff said.
* OffModel:
** Presumably, Plucky was mistakenly drawn into the classroom scenes in the beginning of the episode even though he's supposed to be outside the classroom when Buster leaves to face the principal, resulting in a [[http://tinytoons.wikia.com/wiki/File:Yosemite_Sam_sends_Buster_to_the_principal%27s_office.png purple Plucky doppelganger in a light blue tank top]] being present in all of these particular scenes.
** Mary Melody is mis-colored as a [[http://tinytoons.wikia.com/wiki/File:MaryMelodyWhiteGirlGoof.png Caucasian girl with light brown hair]] in one classroom shot.
* ShoutOut: The appearance (and reveal) of the principal is a fairly obvious reference to ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''.
* TheReveal: This episode is two-for-two in this regard: [[spoiler: The principal is actually none other than Bugs Bunny, and the reason Yosemite Sam sent Buster to the principal's office in the first place was because ''he wasn't pranking Yosemite Sam hard enough''. See, Yosemite Sam teaches the ''Class Clown'' class at ACME Loo.]]
* RunningGag: People asking Buster if they can have his stereo as he walks to his apparent doom.
-->'''Buster''': [[LampshadeHanging Geez! Am I the only around here with a CD player??]]

''Eating Between The Lines'':
* AffectionateParody: Hits on some of the beats of ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''' "characters-in-book-store-come-to-life-when-no-one's-around" shorts like ''WesternAnimation/BookRevue''.
* OffModel:
** During the preceding wraparound segment, Calamity Coyote is [[http://tinytoons.wikia.com/wiki/File:Calamity_with_no_shoes.png missing his shoes]].
** In the short itself, Sweetie's arm/wing [[http://tinytoons.wikia.com/wiki/File:Green_Hand_Sweetie.png is green]] as she holds an onion up to Bookworm.
* OnionTears: Sweetie and Bookworm visit a book called ''The Onion Field'' with predictable results.
* PortalBook: Bookworm and Sweetie travel into and out of books throughout the short.

''What's Up, Nurse?'':
* AssShove: The short's title card seems to be depicting Elmyra about to use a rectal thermometer on Plucky.
* CruelTwistEnding: By the time Plucky fesses up and wants to do the test again in order to get away from Elmyra, he's legitimately injured. Because of this, he must have a tutor for his school studies while he's out. Guess who it is.
* FakingSick: How Plucky attempts to get out of the test.
* OffModel: Some of the students shown as being in class before Plucky leaves are later seen at the nurse's office when he gets there.
