Line 49:
'''Plucky''': Call me "Pluck". It's more artistic, if you know what I mean, and... how could you? }}
** To be fair, Plucky was a narcissist anyway. He ''is'' based on [[Daffy Duck]].
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: The episodes ''Two-Tone Town'' and ''Fields of Honey'' are tributes to the original Warner Bros. cartoon stars--andstars—and no, we're not talking about Bugs and the gang--wegang—we mean the ORIGINAL Warner Bros. stars, Bosko and Honey, as well as Foxy, Roxy and Goopy Geer, all of whom had been stuck in cartoon limbo for decades by that point.
* [[The Ahnold]] / [[Angry Guard Dog]]: Arnold.
* [[Alan Smithee]]: He is credited as a director on the two shorts animated by Encore Cartoons.
Line 58:
** The first episode goes even further and suggest that not only are Babs and Buster actors, they ''created'' the show from scratch! They even get a "created by" credit in the credits roll.
* [[Animated Anthology]]
* [[Animation Bump]]: Different episodes were animated by different studios,<ref> They'd be [[AKOM]], [[T Ms]] (and through TMS, [[Kyoto Animation]], [[Nakamura Productions]], [[Studio Jungle Gym]], [[Mook DLE]], [[Anime Spot]] and others), [[Wang Film Productions]], [[Star Toons]], [[Kennedy Cartoons]] (and through Kennedy, [[Fil-Cartoons]] and Wang) [[Freelance Animators New Zealand]] and Encore Cartoons.</ref>, so the animation style would noticeably vary between them.
** One can tell which animation team did which episodes. For example, several episodes (including the pilot) resemble ''[[A Pup Named Scooby Doo]]'', being animated by [[Kennedy Cartoons]] (whose head, Glen Kennedy, was the animation director on the first season of APNSD).
** As mentioned in the intro to this page, [[T Ms]] animated several episodes, and their work was, as always, gorgeous.
Line 140:
* [[Everybody Do the Endless Loop]]: In several Kennedy Cartoons episodes.
* [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]]: "Toons Take Over".
* [[Evil Counterpart|Evil Counterparts]]s: Roderick and Rhubella Rat are pretty much this to Buster and Babs, even sharing their voice actors.
** Perfecto Prep (Roderick's school) has evil counterparts for several of the Tiny Toons.
* [[Experimental Archeology]]: Parodied in "Voyage of the Kon-Ducki".
Line 179:
** Marcia the Martian for Marvin the Martian.
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Rhoda Queen, Elmyra's bratty Neighbor, in "Can't Buy Me Love".
* [[Give Me a Sword]]: Played for laughs during the opening of "Buster and Babs Go Hawaiian" -- Hamton—Hamton asks Plucky for his sword, and Plucky appears dragging the sword across the floor, asking if they could have taken an elevator instead. Hamton responds, "Ahem!" Plucky then tries to actually lift the sword, only to fall down and flatten himself with the blade. Hamton then nonchalantly picks the sword up himself.
* [[Go-Karting with Bowser]]: Elmyra and Montana Max both go to school with the main characters. This occasionally poses a problem.
* [[Good News, Bad News]]: In "Lame Joke" (part of "Henny Youngman Day"), Henny delivers this one-liner:
Line 197:
** The episode "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KorePmxxVF4 Starting From Scratch]" is a homage to ''[[An American Tail]]'', only it's done with fleas instead of mice. One must wonder if Steven Spielberg had a say in that episode, since he produced ''An American Tail'' too.
*** The episode "High Toon" featured a Mousekewitz-esque family of Mexican chihuahuas, complete with the kid that voiced Fievel voicing the young chihuahua Pedro.
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]]: Ever notice that most of the antagonists on this show are humans? Mostly Montana Max and cloud cuckoolander Elmyra Duff but the only sole exception to this is Mary Melody, in fact she is a better owner for Furrball than Elmyra was. It seems pretty hard to find a human on this show who isn't a total jerk to the main characters.
** That basically stems from the fact that humans were usually the antagonists in most of the Looney Tunes shorts as well. When Bugs and Daffy weren't at each others' throats, it was either Yosemite Sam, Elmer Fudd, or some other guy.
* [[I Am Not Weasel]]: Elmyra once mistook Dizzy for a dog, and Fifi for a cat.
Line 362:
* [[Take That]]: The Spring Break special directs one each at ''[[Beavis and Butthead]]'' and ''[[Ren and Stimpy]]''.
** The above-mentioned Roderick and Rhubella Rat are almost certainly meant to be the Tiny Toons counterparts to [[Disney|Mickey and Minnie Mouse]].
** The creepy fanboy in "Night Ghoulery" is based on a stalker who sent Tress MacNeille disturbing letters which caused her to fear for life and cancel any convention appearances she was planning to make around where he lives.<ref>As an interesting historical footnote, this same guy, Dennis Falk, was also an early activist for the fair-use rights of privately owned internet fansites, which just goes to show you don't need to be sane, or even a decent human being, to get shit done.</ref>.
** Censors are frequently bashed, even making a whole episode ("Washingtoon") about how it's bad. It doesn't help they openly bash them in the theme song.
* [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]]: And how! Babs being [[The Nostalgia Chick|piiiink]] and wearing bows in her ears.
