Go To

  • In "Hare-Raising Night", The camera moves up to a castle atop a tall mountain, with a mad scientist saying, "It's alive! It's alive!", implying that that castle is where Dr. Gene Splicer lives. Buster then interrupts and says, "No, no, no! Wrong show! Splicer's lab is back there!", and the camera moves down the mountain to a rather mundane-looking office building.
  • In "A Bacon Strip" (part of "The ACME Acres Zone"), Plucky tricks Hamton into skinny-dipping in Montana Max's pool. When a naked Hamton is spotted by Monty's security system, Plucky heroically says "This is a job for...", then says "Someone else." as he climbs down the tree he watches Hamton from.
  • In the short "Bat's All Folks!" (part of "Inside Plucky Duck"), when the BatduckMobile leaves the Duck Cave, a view of what looks like it driving down the road is shown. However, the camera zooms out, revealing it to be a video game that Hamton is playing, and the BatduckMobile to be stuck in traffic.
  • In "Real Kids Don't Eat Broccoli" (part of "The Return to the ACME Acres Zone"), after Babs tells Buster about the case of the missing droids, Buster tells her, "Okay, I'll take your case!", and takes a box that says, CARROT CASE.
  • In the short "I Was a Teenage Bunnysitter" (part of "The Acme Home Shopping Show"), when Duncan first appears, he appears to be a huge hulking kid... but then we see him in full and he barely comes up to Babs' waist.
  • "No Toon Is An Island":
    • The episode begins with what looks like Plucky in the desert, desperate for water. However, Buster points out that they, along with Babs and Hamton, are actually on the beach, and Plucky is acting up.
    • Towards the end of the episode, Buster, Babs, Plucky, and Hamton escape from Booty Island with the treasure and the X-Bird. Buster, Babs, and Hamton ride atop the X-Bird as Buster says, "Hey, this is the only way to travel!", making it appear as if the X-Bird is running as they ride her. The camera then pans to reveal that Plucky is still carrying the X-Bird, and he says, "That's easy for you to say!"
  • In "Kon Ducki", when Plucky’s ship is being assembled, a close-up of Plucky straining is shown, making it look like he’s assembling his ship. However, the next scene shows that he is on his lunch break and was struggling to open a bottle of mango juice.
  • At the beginning of the second act of "Thirteensomething", Buster reads a newspaper with a headline that says, BABS BUNNY HEADS TO N.Y., and says, "I can't believe it!". He then points out that he was actually referring to an ad for a carrot sale.
  • Near the end of the short, "Ducklahoma" (part of "Buster’s Directorial Debut"), 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. The anvil lands on Plucky instead.
  • In the short, "Party Crasher Plucky" (part of "A Cat's Eye View)", when Plucky and Shirley ride a car to a party, it looks as if they are riding inside the car when it is shown from the right side. When the car's left side is shown, they are actually riding on the car's fender.
  • In the Spring Break Special, when the Tiny Toons bus arrives at Ft. Lauderdale, it stops at what appears to be a luxury hotel. However, it is only revealed to be a billboard on a truck, and when it drives away, it reveals the run-down Spring Breakers motel behind it, much to the disappointment of most of the Tiny Toons.
