* AnnoyinglyRepetitiveChild: This segment is a WholeEpisodeFlashback of the time Plucky [[ToiletTrainingPlot was toilet-trained]]. He becomes quite amused by how the water disappears whenever he flushes the toilet, [[FunWithFlushing so he starts flushing everything that he sees]], reciting the phrase "([[MadLibsCatchphrase insert thing]]) go down the hoooole!" His parents yell at him to cut it out, but he insists on continuing to flush it. At the end of the episode, it's revealed he still hasn't grown out of it, much to his father's annoyance.

* RunningGag: Played literally; throughout the episode, a clown runs past the characters.

to:

* RuleOfThree:
** A clown runs by in the background three times. After the third and final time near the end of the short, Babs dryly explains he's "a RunningGag".
** The plot of this short is about Buster's quest to revive a joke he's driven into the ground (represented by a dying clown). The joke has this trope too: "A duck, a rabbit, and a pig go to a restaurant..." [[note]] "...which hand do they use to eat their soup? Neither! They used a soup spoon!"[[/note]]

The ninth episode of the second season of ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', and the seventy-fourth episode overall.

When WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck is sick, Henny Youngman becomes the subsitute teacher. Henny bores the entire class (except Hamton) to the point of them leaving him.

'''Short One:''' Stand-Up and Deliver"

Babs signs up for a comedy club, but is disappointed to find out that she's picked last. After all the shambles of performers play their parts, Red Rad Robin Kill'ems seems to best Babs, but in fact, saves her from certain doom when she gets stage fright.

'''Short Two:''' "The Potty Years"

A flashback to Plucky as a baby. Since he is almost three years old, his parents decide it is time to potty train him. At first, Baby Plucky is reluctant, but he becomes interested when he sees the water go down the hole as the toilet is flushed. He soon flushes various items down the toilet, clogging it up and creating a flood that leaks onto the floors.

'''Short Three:''' "Lame Joke"

Buster is disappointed when his joke (represented by a dying clown) is lame whenever he tries to tell it, but his friends eventually find out what is funny about it.

!! This episode provides examples of:

''Overall:''

* CreditsGag - Top Four Henny Youngman "Savers" [[note]]4.Here's another one you may not like. 3. How can you people sleep with the TV On? 2. Two, Three, Four... is anyone still watching? 1. We will pray silently for the episode that just died.[[/note]]
* InkSuitActor: Henny Youngman voices his namesake in this episode.
* NonIndicativeName: Henny is actually a male rooster. Lampshaded by Babs:
-->'''Babs:''' You know, I don't get it. Our sub's name is Henny Youngman, a hen's a female chicken, but he's a guy!\\
'''Plucky:''' Maybe it's a hormone imbalance.
* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: This exchange between Henny and Hamton in the second wraparound:
-->'''Henny:''' People are always askin' me, "How do ya keep your act fresh?"\\
'''Hamton:''' Practice!\\
'''Henny:''' This kid's got more talent in his little finger than he does in his big finger.
* RimShot: Gogo does these in the wraparounds, until he eventually gets sick of it and leaves.
* SickEpisode: Although he isn't seen in this episode, Daffy Duck is revealed to be sick, and Henny becomes his substitute.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Every student except Hamton by the third act. Even Gogo Dodo gets sick of doing rimshots.

''Stand-Up and Deliver:''

* DrivenToSuicide: The male toons are so bored by the other comedians, that Plucky tries to drop himself into a tank of water with a ball and chain, Hamton tries to slice his head off in a guillotine, and Buster is tied to a rocket and holding a match.
* {{Expy}}: Besides Robin Kill'ems being a caricature of Creator/RobinWilliams, the other comedians include a squirrel caricature of Creator/EmoPhillips, a cockroach caricature of Creator/AndrewDiceClay, and a walrus caricature of Louie Anderson.
* PerformanceAnxiety: Happens to Babs when she realizes she has to go on stage after the immensely popular Robin Killems.
* ShapedLikeItself: This line from the Louie Anderson Walrus:
-->"I'm so fat, I'm... fat!"
* ShoutOut: At the beginning of the episode, Babs' impressions include Robin Leech, [[Literature/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Quasimodo]], and the Energizer Bunny.

''The Potty Years:''

* FunWithFlushing: Baby Plucky gets a lot of enjoyment from flushing various items down the toilet, such as toilet paper, Furrball, his toys, even his own diaper! He even climbed into it himself and tried to flush himself down the hole! The toilet gets clogged up as a result.
* HereWeGoAgain: At the end of the short, Plucky is his normal age, but he's still wearing a diaper and flushing the toilet, much to his father's annoyance.
* OhCrap: Baby Plucky when he realizes his parents are coming up to check on him, knowing he'll be in a lot of trouble if they see the state of the flooded bathroom.
* SpinoffBabies: This is the first of three shorts that focuses on an infant version of Plucky Duck.

''Lame Joke:''

* CreditsGag: Nicholas Hollander and Sherri Stoner are credited as "Shecky Hollander" and "Boom-Boom Stoner", respectively.
* {{Expy}}: A chimpanzee caricature of George Burns is shown when Buster's joke dies.
* {{Flatline}}: The Lame Joke flatlines from the terminal illness that is caused by Buster's unlaughable lame joke. As a result, Henny delivers this one in the form of GoodNewsBadNews.
* GoodNewsBadNews: This exchange from Henny when Buster's joke dies:
-->"I've got good news and bad news. The good news is, your joke died, the bad news is, who cares?"
* HollywoodHeartAttack: The Lame Joke suffers one after Buster told his friends a bad joke that can't make them laugh, then collapses and slowly dies.
* PrematureEulogy: Doubly subverted when, after Buster finishes the eulogy, and he and his friends say goodbye to the [[NonIronicClown dead Lame Joke]], he suddenly recalls his lame joke that didn't make them laugh before but now makes them laugh with a little bit of reasoning... and brings the Lame Joke BackFromTheDead.
* RunningGag: Played literally; throughout the episode, a clown runs past the characters.
* ShoutOut: When calling 911, Babs, Plucky, and Hamton do it to the tune of ''Film/TheThreeStooges''' "Hello" routine.
* VisualPun: Buster's Lame Joke is represented by a sick clown on crutches.
