| 252 | ** Speaking of ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'', WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner is a cat and mouse cartoon [-IN THE DESERT-]. |
| 253 | *** Chuck Jones himself inverts this, describing his own take on ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' as "the Road Runner and Coyote in cat-and-mouse drag." |
| 254 | ** ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'' is Looney Tunes [-AS A SITCOM-]! |
| 255 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'': Think ''Literature/CheaperByTheDozen'' (the book or the [[Film/CheaperByTheDozen2003 mov]][[Film/CheaperByTheDozen2 ies]]) as a cartoon, but with one less kid, and way more girls than boys. |

| 298 | *** "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbTriStoneArea Tri-Stone Area]]": Perhaps the most StrictlyFormula episode of the show, as nearly every story beat and line of dialogue comes from their plethora of {{Catch Phrase}}s, {{Running Gag}}s, and OnceAnEpisode events, except they're all communicated [-IN CAVE-SPEAK AND GRUNTS-]! |
