The tenth episode of the third season of ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', and the 88th episode overall.

Buster has been promoted to the director for this episode, but when he tries to film ''Furrball on the Roof'', he keeps getting interrupted.

'''Short One:''' ''Fit To Be Stewed''

In a parody of ''Hansel and Gretel'', Babs and Buster come across a carrot-cake house inhabited by Witch Sandy, who is intent on making a stew out of them and manages to turn Babs into a real rabbit.

'''Short Two:''' ''Ducklahoma''

To get even with Plucky for destroying his set, Buster has Plucky star in a parody of "Oklahoma!", where he (as well as Hamton, Shirley, and Elmyra) frequently get hit by anvils.

!! This episode provides examples of:

''Overall:''
* AffectionateParody: ''Furrball on the Roof'' is one of ''Theater/FiddlerOnTheRoof''.
* TheCameo: The Little Man from the Draft Board from ''WesternAnimation/DrafteeDaffy'' appears as Buster's assistant in the opening wraparound.
* CreditsGag: "Buster's Directorial Debut" Is Also - Buster's Directorial Swan Song.
* TwoShorts: The seventh of eight episodes to use this format.

''Fit To Be Stewed:''
* BaldWomen: Downplayed with Sandy; Her true form has some hair, but what little hair she has doesn't cover much of her scalp.
* BalefulPolymorph: Buster defeats Sandy by using magic dust to turn her into a goldfish.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Sandy first appears in the form of a cutesy girl offering Babs and Buster a meal, but it soon turns out that she's really a witch and that she was really trying to fatten them up so she could eat them.
* FatteningTheVictim: Sandy intends to do this to Buster and Babs. Babs gives into temptation, but Buster's will is much stronger.
* FurryConfusion: Since Sandy's two-rabbit stew recipe tells her not to substitute toon rabbits, she uses a magic spell that turns Babs into a non-anthropomorphic rabbit.
* GingerbreadHouse: Sandy's house is made out of carrot cake. Babs makes herself at home, while Buster is rightfully suspicious of Sandy's friendly hospitality.
* GoLookAtTheDistraction: When Buster tries to rescue Babs a second time, Sandy and her army of vacuum cleaners corner him. Buster tells them, "There's dust in that corner!" to distract them. [[BaitAndSwitch It turns out there really was dust in that corner]], and they fell for it.
* InCaseOfXBreakGlass: Near the end of the short, Buster finds a box that says, "In Case of Emergency, Break Glass", which has a box of magic dust in it. He uses it to turn Sandy into a goldfish, but decides not to turn Babs back to normal with it until after he's finished filming ''Furrball on the Roof''.
* KnifeOutline: Inverted: Sandy casts a magic spell that has knives and other kitchen utensils aim directly at a frightened Buster rather than around him. Fortunately, Buster is fast enough to dodge them all.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: After Sandy slams into her door and gets hit by her anthropomorphic vacuum cleaners, who turn into yelping miniature ones, Buster tells the viewers that the first recorded occurence of this gag was by [[Creator/ChuckJones Chuckles Bones]] in 1954.
*PunnyName: Witch Sandy's name sounds close to "Sandwich". Buster even makes this joke when he turns Sandy into a goldfish.
* ShoutOut: After Sandy breaks out of her vacuum cleaner, when she performs a magic spell against Buster and Babs, she mentions Huey and Dewey, the names of two of [[WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck Donald Duck's]] nephews.
* TrailOfBreadCrumbs: Buster leaves one so he can get back to the WB Studio when Babs tricks him into exercising with her at the beginning of this short. The trail gets eaten by Sweetie.
-->'''Sweetie''' (to the viewers'') What do you expect on my salary? A girl's gotta eat!
* WeaponsThatSuck: When Buster disguises himself as a vacuum cleaner salesman to rescue Babs, he uses his vacuum cleaner to suck the lock off her cage. When Babs exposes Buster's disguise, Sandy is revealed to have an army of anthropomorphic vacuum cleaners of her own.
* WhoWritesThisCrap: Subverted; Buster thanks the lazy writer for giving him magic dust to use against Sandy.
* WickedWitch: Sandy, the JuniorCounterpart of Witch Hazel. She lures Babs and Buster into her carrot cake house, turns Babs into a non-anthropomorphic rabbit, and tries to do the same with Buster so she can cook them in a stew and eat them.

''Ducklahoma:''
* AffectionateParody: Of ''Theatre/{{Oklahoma}}''.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Elmyra wants to go to the dance with Hamton, who refuses to go with her, because wherever she goes, anvils fall.
* AnvilOnHead: Many anvils fall on Plucky, Hamton, Shirley, and Elmyra.
* BaitAndSwitch: Near the end of this short, as retribution for having him get hit by many anvils, Plucky tries to drop an anvil of his own on Buster, and a shadow casts over Buster, making it appear as if he is going to get hit by it. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard The anvil lands on Plucky instead]].
* CallBack: The Anthropomorphic Anvils from the "[[Recap/TinyToonAdventuresS1E9ItsBusterBunnyTime It's Buster Bunny Time]]" episode segment, "The Anvil Chorus" return in this short, as Buster makes a deal with them to get revenge on Plucky. In addition, when Plucky gets hit by an anvil the first time, he tells Buster that his set up feels painfully familiar.
* CranialEruption: Plucky gets one the first time he gets hit by an anvil.
* EarlyBirdCameo: This short premiered on the short-lived spin-off, ''The Plucky Duck Show'' on September 26, 1992, before airing on ''Tiny Toon Adventures'' on November 2, 1992.
* IWillShowYouX: Plucky interrupts Buster's ''Furrball on the Roof'' film, demands rewrites so that he's included, and destroys Buster's set. Buster replies, "Rewrite? I'll give you a rewrite!" He then makes a deal with some anvils to produce ''Ducklahoma'', where anvils are repeatedly dropped on Plucky.
* LoveTriangle: Both Plucky and Hamton want to ask Shirley to go to the dance with them.
* SomethingWeForgot: Downplayed; At the end of this short, after the screen irises out, Babs appears as a non-anthropomorphic rabbit. Buster then realizes he almost forgot to turn Babs back to normal, and he does so with Sandy's magic dust. Babs is angry at Buster for not turning her back to normal right away, but he manages to calm her down by telling her she's lost weight.
* ThrowTheDogABone: After getting repeatedly hit by anvils during his musical numbers, Plucky apologizes for destroying Buster's set and begs for some relief, saying there must be someone else on this show more deserving of this treatment than him. So, Buster cues Elmyra's song, where Elmyra gets hit by many anvils. Unfortunately, [[YankTheDogsChain Plucky's relief doesn't last long]], as he gets hit by many anvils in the closing song, and even by his own anvil when he tries to hit Buster with it.
* VisualPun: When Plucky tries to protest against Buster hitting him with anvils, Buster tells him that the script has "Emmy" written all over it. He then shows him the script, which has the word, "EMMY" written all over the first page.
