Release date: November 5, 2021

Opening line: (Wakko) "Mutton is gamey!"

Rug Of War: The Warners go inside The Bayeux Tapestry.

Run Pinky Run!: Pinky needs to get money to save Brain, and fast!

The Hamburg Tickler: Scratchansniff tries to teach the Warners a lesson about lying.

Tropes found in "Rug Of War!":

  • Art Shift: The Warners adopt a flat, hand-stitched texture when they are inside the tapestry. Wakko also turns into a manticore.
  • Brick Joke: The exchange from the beginning of the sketch repeats at the end when they pawn the contents of the storage locker for a grand total of ...five dollars.
  • Hollywood History: Harold Godwinson, Earl of Wessex is misidentified as the Earl of Sussex.
  • Portal Picture: The Warners treat The Bayeux Tapestry as such.
  • Red Right Hand: A parody version where Dot pulls off her glove to reveal a throbbing monkey paw, freaking everyone out.
  • This Is Gonna Suck: Dot's reaction to Yakko cueing his big musical number.
    Dot: Oh, God.

Tropes found in "Run Pinky Run!":

  • Parody Episode: Its plot atypical of usual Pinky and the Brain shorts, the episode is an homage to Run Lola Run, including seeing events play out three different ways (albeit with the aid of a time looping device), Pinky running down the building's flight of stairs, and Pinky having to acquire $100,000 to save Brain.

Tropes found in "The Hamburg Tickler":

  • Bolivian Army Ending: Just as the Warners (and Nora and Scratchansniff) find out the monster is real all along...the credits roll immediately. Luckily in the next episode, they survived.
  • Mood Whiplash: Right after the Warners are scared to death once the Hamburg Tickler is revealed to be real, cue "It's time for An-i-man-i-acs!" over the end credits. Don't worry. In the next episode, they come out OK.
  • Real After All: Just after Scratchansniff and Nora both tricked the Warners into giving back the stuff they bought without telling and lying about how the Hamburg Ticker is after them for lying, the titular monster shows up and chases after them. Otto even lampshades it since he was told of the monster as a kid.
