Freshman OrienTOONtion

• During the beginning of the episode, Daffy is instructing a crane operator moving an anvil statue. No points for guessing where it lands.
• Only a minute into their first meeting and Buster and Plucky start fighting over the top bunk in their dorm with flags, falling logs, forts, etc.
• Hamton tries to show how funny he can be when meeting Buster and Plucky by trying to slip on a Banana Peel... and failing miserably at it.
• Bugs’ intro is that of him dramatically rising out of a hole in the floor… and then the REAL Bugs walking on screen and removing the cardboard cut-out standing in for him.
• Plucky calls out Wile E. for giving his routine an 8, to which Wile E. demotes it to a 7. After Plucky flatters him, he bumps it up to... 7.00001.

Give Pizza a Chance

• Apparently, in the show’s universe, World War II was won using Practical Joke Snakes. After she took over as Dean, Granny would then use those snakes as insulation.
• After their competitiveness nearly destroyed their dorm room, Hamton chews Buster and Plucky out for corner cutting when it came to repairs and spending the rest of the money on a pizza party. He then cheerfully acknowledges that he has a purpose in life since the rabbit and duck are back to fighting.
• Upon being told that a “boomie” is a portmanteau of “best friend” and “roomie”, Fifi compares it to her “broissant”, a blend of a beret and a croissant…because she wanted a buttery, crumbly hat.
• The gang manage to clean up the dorm room just as Granny and Sam arrive, set up like a cool jazz club. Granny is disappointed.
  Granny: In my day, we would've had an out-of-control pizza party. Squares!

Extra, So Extra

• Hamton's secret vault in his mind is managed by a monkey, who closes the vault by scanning his butt.
• Renaldo Raccoon now lives in the abandoned newspaper stands. He tells Babs to take any complaints to the HOA — the Hissing Opossum Association (an actual hissing opossum on a sewer grate).
• Taz was the political cartoonist for the college newspaper. He shows Babs and Sweetie one of his cartoons, which shows two squiggles labeled "Democrats" and "G.O.P.", and a small swirl labeled "Me".
  Sweetie: I get it!
• Babs starts her own newspaper, with staffers Fifi and Shirley writing articles about Dizzy using a toothbrush and Furball being able to put on a mattress protector.
• According to Porky, who is in charge of budgeting at Acme Loo, money for the newspaper was used up to buy grand pianos to drop on unsuspecting students.
• Fifi's dark secret is that she’s not European French…but French Canadian! She laments that Montreal is the Paris of North America.
  • This makes sense when you realize skunks are endemic to the Americas, not Europe.
• The girls call the boys' dorm "The Stink Hut" because of the smell, which Sweetie describes as "old shoes stuffed with seafood". When they later expose Plucky by having Buster disguise himself as Hamton, the real Hamton is inside the closet, where he found an old shrimp inside a shoe.
• After being exposed as a fraud, Plucky gets pelted with tomatoes, including one as big as he is; someone even throws him an anvil.
  • When Babs asks Plucky back on the newspaper, he claims that she's jealous of all his "free tomatoes".

Tooney Ball Lights

• Babs and Plucky pick Daffy's anvil class thinking it will be an easy elective, only to learn that it's the hardest single elective class at Acme Loo. Just getting the anvil to do what you want requires knowing physics, quantum mechanics, macroeconomics and Ancient Greek.
  • "Ah, the anvil. Used for everything except blacksmithing."
  • Plucky comes to the first day of class ready to nap through the course, wearing two neck pillows and even hanging a mobile over his head.
  • On the first day of class, Daffy asks the students to identify the anvil on his desk. Plucky confidently says "an anvil"; Daffy says "Wrong!" and drops an anvil on his head. Babs gives the precise brand and specifications of the anvil... and she still gets it wrong and is hit as well. The real answer was "anything the wielder wants it to be."
  • Even after studying as hard as they could, Babs and Plucky get a C- on their test. Which turns out to be the highest grade anyone's ever gotten on the class.
• Buster explains to Sweetie what tooneyball is.
  Buster: It's a toon version of football.
  Sweetie: Oh. What's football?
  Buster: The non-toon version of tooneyball.
  Sweetie: Oh, now I get it!
  • Buster thinks that Sweetie's violent tendencies are perfect for tooneyball.
    Buster: It'll be just like when you joined Chess Club, except you won't get thrown out.
    Sweetie: It was too slow!
  • When they bump chests, Sweetie knocks Buster on his back, leaving a huge dent on his chest.
• Buster chants "Win win win!" to his teammates. Followed by a closeup of his uvula also chanting "Win win win!"
• After the first play of the tooneyball game, the visiting team is ahead 5 to -25.
• After Shirley counsels Hamton on being more decisive, he declares her class the best elective ever. Shirley clarifies that she never said it was an elective, and that she's not even allowed to have most of the stuff on campus.

Save The Loo Bru

• Sweetie says she likes the sophisticated drinks at the Loo Bru. The table is then served drinks in a jack-in-the-box.
• Apparently, Dizzy once thought monster trucks were made out of actual monsters, and he considers finding out the truth even worse than being evicted.
• Dizzy, being the Extreme Omnivore he is, chomps down the girls' fridge—but becomes actually disgusted because there was cilantro in it!
• One of the messy things Dizzy did in the girls' dorm listed by Babs is leaving the toilet seat up... on the roof.
• Sweetie is shocked to find Dizzy cleaning up the dorm after he messed it up. She's apreciative of how thoughtful he is... until she discovers that Dizzy ate her paper on the theory of toon gravity. This makes her so mad she trashes the place again — and Dizzy decides to join in.
• Buster's plan to keep Montana Max from destroying the Loo Bru by disguising herself as Ruth Less Bunny is ruined when her makeup falls off due to the heat of the fireplace. Max picks up the melted makeup, still a relatively solid mask, and holds it to his face, still clearly in love with Ruth; he drops it when his laywer mentions that the makeup seems store bought.
• After the Loo Bru is saved and Dizzy gets his apartment back, the place looks completely trashed. Babs assumes Max did it, but Dizzy says that it's just how he left it, except for a banana peel on the floor... which he moves a couple of feet to the left.

Prank You Very Much

• Dizzy eats all his birthday presents... except for the birthday cake, which he decides is "too beautiful to eat."
• The montage of the prank war between Acme Loo and Aqua Loo, as well as the names for them as they appear on the scoreboard.
  • Special mention goes to "Cocoa All the Way Down", which involves hot cocoa frozen solid, inside of which is a smaller mug of frozen cocoa, with an even smaller one inside, and so on, and so forth.
• Plucky's hilariously lame ideas for pranks, such as serving cheese fondue without napkins so they'll stain all their shirts, inviting them to an amateur art show ("because who would want to see non-professional art?") and switching their non-streak glass cleaner with regular so their mirrors will streak.
• The final prank against Aqua Loo, which incorporates ideas from Plucky, Hamton and Sweetie instead of just Babs and Buster. Starting with Plucky's napkin-less fondue, the Aqua Loo students then get t-shirts that Hampton ordered — which were not pre-shrunk, causing them to shrink in the wash right as they are wearing them. But the topper is Sweetie using her catapult Cathy, upgraded to fling the entire campus onto a gigantic pie.
• At the end, Granny arrives to inform the students that Prank Week is next month. So who made the flyers announcing that it was this week? Dizzy, who ended up pranking everyone. And it wasn't even his birthday yet.

General HOGspital

• Plucky rents out Hamton's bed to make money for new shoes. The first renter is a warthog who just came from swimming in the "pool inside your manhole" and takes Plucky's bed instead of Hamton's.
• Wile E. Coyote doing an Evil Laugh with signs.
• Witch Hazel’s reaction to Hamton asking her about her theory on Looney DNA:
  Hazel: OF COURSE YOU DON’T, CAUSE I’M A WOMAN! (Beat) Sorry! Force of habit!
• Sweetie and Babs playing hackey sack with an anvil.
• Buster goes through jungles, mountains and deserts to get to Festerloon... only to realize that it was right next to ACME Loo the whole time.
• What finally cures all the toons who had their DNA damaged is the sight of Plucky in his new shoes, which look just like webbed feet and squeak loudly.

Soufflé, Girl Hey

• Apparently, Cool Cat is so easy to impress, Granny can use a Roomba in a wig to take her place during the best college tour and he doesn’t suspect a thing!
• Some of the after-school jobs Babs and Buster look at are dirty diaper stacker, toenail collector, and living trash can. Babs' comment says it all.
  Babs: These are after-school jobs?!
• Lola is able to whip up an elaborate dish in seconds. Babs and Buster, however, can only make a mess... which somehow always catches on fire.
• Babs and Buster's mother is struggling with a leak in her home. She says it's nothing, even as she's floating in her flooded living room fighting off alligators.
  • In the end, Babs and Buster send money and Mom uses it to fix the leak — literally, by plugging the dollar bills right into it.

Tears of a Clone

• Babs wonders why going to the Bunniez II Rabbitz concert with Buster isn't on her schedule. Flashback to her finishing her 5-year schedule and stepping away from her computer. Dizzy then runs their tongue on the keyboard for some reason, reshuffling the schedule.
• While using the Time Machine, Babs and Sweetie accidentally abduct the inventor of the pencil sharpener from his time period. This results in a present that is essentially the same… except the only way to get one’s pencil sharpened through the “death scythes” of the Mad Max-ian Pencil Reaper.
  • Later, the duo accidentally steals the carrot from Bugs Bunny’s first cartoon, resulting in a present where Bugs is a dejected security guard and Yosemite Sam is not only the world’s most popular toon, but studly to boot!
  • As Buster rushes to find his friends to help him stop his clone turned evil, he runs past a pair of living sauropods standing outside the science center as a result of Babs and Sweetie’s shenanigans (except that it's never explained how they managed to accomplish this, especially since there was no fashion or even civilization yet during the Mesozoic Era). He takes a moment to stop and comment "That... doesn't seem right" before continuing on his way.
  • And then the final straw comes when Sweetie comes back with a boxload of tricorn hats from the American Revolution... along with the Declaration of Independence that got stowed away by accident. As a result, America is still under British rule, with a Union Jack cafe taking the place of the Loo Bru. Despite this, Babs doesn't see this as a reason to shut down their business because of so much money they're making. Sweetie, without saying a word, shows her all the temporal damages they've caused, which prompts her to change her mind.
• Buster's clone turns evil, and proceeds to ruin the former’s reputation…by starting a food fight in the Loo Bru and tricking Fifi into using purple hair dye on her tail.
  • Even Dizzy is horrified by the clone throwing muffins at everyone.
    Dizzy: You make Dizzy NOT enjoy a food fight! Now me question everything!
• As Buster goes to look for his now-evil clone, he is greeted by Furrball who coldly berates him for showing up while he (his clone) is still inside the Loo Bru throwing muffins at everyone.
• Hamton accidentally sprays himself with invisible spray at Wile E.'s yard sale and spends most of the episode invisible. At one point, he loses his pants and is unable to find it due to that turning invisible along with the rest of his outfit. Only when the spray's effects wear off at the end of the episode does he find his pants (which thankfully his bottom is covered).
  • In a similar vein, Foghorn Leghorn hits himself with a Freeze Ray and is left frozen in place for the rest of the episode.
• The epilogue shows Buster's evil clone being sent to the time of the dinosaurs. He notices that all the dinosaurs are looking up at the sky, and sure enough, there's a giant asteroid heading straight towards them...

The Show Must Hop On

• The play Wabbit Season is about the first graduates of ACME Loo: Bugs Bunny, Granny, Elmer Fudd... and a random cactus.
• Buster doesn't think Plucky can play Bugs because he can't hop. As Plucky tries to, Buster stops the video to measure how high he goes, which is just a couple of inches.
• Plucky gets the role of the cactus, which he tries to enhance by giving a two-hour soliloquy about the cactus' childhood.
• Dizzy quits the play because it's a non-union production. He spins through the wall, leaving an Impact Silhouette of him giving the "peace out" sign.
• The first act of the play goes hilariously wrong, ending with the sets spontaneously catching fire.
• Hamton is so nervous he forms a pool of sweat on the floor and eats a hole through the set piece he's sitting on.
• As she cries in the bathroom, Babs' Ocular Gushers shoot right over the stall door. Sweetie asks if she needs a bucket to cry into.
• Babs tries to explain to Hamton why she gave him the lead role as Bugs.
  Babs: You and Bugs actually have a lot in common.
  Hamton: We both went as lint rollers for seven Halloweens in a row?

Things That Go Tweet in the Woods

Whatever Happened to Babsy Bunny?

• As the gang arrives at Acme Acres, Sweetie tells them to smell that city air. Hamton does... and promptly throws up into a trashcan.
• Plucky is outraged that the "bohemian artist" who drew his portrait is a caricaturist.
• After getting a lead that Babs was with a redhead (Elmyra), Buster, Sweetie and Hamton walk into a restaurant called Top O' the Tater, where all the redheads in Acme Acres hang out. The owner resents that they think they're all Irish, as the place is actually an Italian restaurant, and yet they all have stereotypically Irish names.
• Babs finally gets to be in a photograph of the gang, only to get ruined when Plucky, having been kicked out of Elmyra's photography studio, lands on them.

Slay Cheese

• Babs doesn't just get a pimple on picture day, she gets one that talks, like a spoiled Valley Girl.
• Babs goes to Wile E. for something to get rid of her pimple, but he's so mesmerized by a lava lamp he just lets her take a box of random stuff.
• During his Costume-Test Montage, Hamton ends up dressing like Guy Fieri and making nachos before realizing he's gotten off track.
  Hamton: Wait a minute! I'm not the Governor of Yum County!
  Dizzy: Does that mean Dizzy not get garbage nachos?
• Plucky channeling Henry Higgins when getting Buster to be honest with Sweetie.
• Babs ends up shrinking herself with Wile E.'s shrink cream, and spends most of the episode making her way to the growth cream that will reverse the effect. The final scene reveals that she ended up using too much.

Tooned In Space

Skulls and Sillybones

Spring Break

• Hamton and Sweetie's argument in the jungle gets an unexpected gag in when Sweetie pauses in her anger at Hamton in order to appreciate the apparently social conscious comedy stylings of Hamton's mother:
  Sweetie: (angry) You'd rather be listening to your mom's same jokes, instead of embracing the epic journey that dropped in our laps!
  Hamton: Yes! And for your information, she's got a new Type 5 about how hard it is to find good pants these days!
  Sweetie: (much calmer) Well, that's actually really relatable and I'm glad someone is finally talking about how unrealistic fashion sizing is. (Suddenly Shouting) BUT YOU'RE STILL BEING A WORRYWART!
