* FiveFiveFive: The prologue for this music video features one of these. However, it was a toll-free 555 number, made right around the time when they were available publicly. It went to an “adult entertainment” line, and the episode was removed from rotation for some time. Some edits censored the number from the segment (which produces a minor PotHole as the characters referred to a supposedly onscreen number), while other edits, including the one on the ‘’Tiny Toon Adventures: Season 1, Vol. 2’’ DVD release removed the entire prologue.

**In 2019, Tom Ruegger uploaded an actual [[https://twitter.com/tomruegger/status/1174448926050508800 deleted scene]] on his Twitter account that closes the episode. We check back in at Julie Bruin's party, where Buster, Babs and Fuddonna are tangled up from playing Twister (called Tangle here). Babs wonders how they're going to close the show, then Buster starts a triva game for a contestant, who happens to be Plucky. The question was what were the names of the songs that played throughout the episode. Plucky gets them all right, except "Istanbul - Not Constantinople", where Plucky answers "Constantinople." After Plucky gets it wrong, Babs corrects him and the camel from said music video falls on him.
