** A blond recolor of Bugs' old foe [[WesternAnimation/RabbitHood The Sheriff of Nottingham]] tries to pull the legendary Sword from the Stone in "Sword Loser". Also, a caricature of longtime Chuck Jones animator Ken Harris-- the model for such big-nosed baddies as [[Trivia/TheDoverBoys Dan Backslide]] and [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadrunner Wile E. Coyote]]-- can be seen in line directly behind him.

* FormulaBreakingEpisode: "Livin' The Daydream" takes a complete departure from the usual Looney Tunes formula. This short features exclusively human characters, with all the outlandish events depicted being the product of a young boy's imagination. It even features a ''Batman'' reference (specifically, WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries) and is the first ever ''Looney Tunes Cartoons'' short to give a ShoutOut to another franchise by name. Though all this is very much in the formula of the previous Chuck Jones-directed Ralph Phillips cartoons from the original theatrical shorts.

* NeverTrustAHairTonic: In "Hare Restoration", Bugs offers to give Elmer his treatment for growing hair. It at first seems just an excuse for Bugs to abuse Elmer, [[spoiler:but amazingly enough, Elmer starts growing a head of beautiful blond hair.

** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] for Elmer in these shorts; While he's generally a decent guy, he has a HairTriggerTemper and can occasionally act like a spiteful jerk. Played straight in "Shoe Shine-Nanigans". Elmer deliberately refuses to pay, even after Daffy gave him the [[ShoeShineMister shoeshine]] he offered. Which makes it cathartic when he gets run over by a bus immediately after.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Daffy, who like in ''WesternAnimation/NewLooneyTunes'' is much closer to his original 1930s "screwball" persona than in other modern appearances, but is also notably kinder and more helpful than he's ever been portrayed before. While he's still a blustering pest with more than a hint of TheGadfly, surprisingly often he's portrayed as well-meaning and genuinely enthusiastic about helping people (and especially Porky) out without expecting anything in return. He's ''not'' good at it, [[UnwantedAssistance and more often than not his "help" makes everything worse]], but he tries.

** Firearms, such as Yosemite Sam's Six-Shooters and Elmer Fudd's shotgun, are excluded from this incarnation. Surprisingly, other weapons like scythes, axes, hooks and even various bombs/dynamite are fair game.
