** From "Spring Break":
*** The special begins with the Toons doing various things to Daffy with a paintbrush as he tries to teach them, much like Bugs Bunny did in ''WesternAnimation/DuckAmuck''.
*** Plucky's father's name is Ralph, as it was in the original series (specifically "[[Recap/TinyToonAdventuresS2E9HennyYoungmanDay The Potty Years]]").
*** Several drawings can be seen on Buster and Babs' refrigerator, one of them being [[WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}} the Warners' water tower]], another being of "Aunt Bunny and Uncle Claude" (Bunny and Claude being obscure ''Looney Tunes'' stars from the Seven Arts era who appeared in "We Rob Carrot Patches"), and another being sketches of Buster and Babs as they appeared in "[[Recap/TinyToonAdventuresS2E8BusterAndBabsGoHawaiian Buster and Babs Go Hawaiian]]".


Added DiffLines:

* PlayingSick: Buster and Babs do this in "Spring Break" when they feel neglected by B'shara in favor of Plucky, who let him sleep in the big bed of her guest bedroom while turning their bedroom into an exercise room. This backfires, as it renders them unable to participate in the talent show at the Burrowville talent show, and Plucky having to take their place. Near the end, [[spoiler:B'Shara reveals to Plucky that she knew they were faking the entire time]].

* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: Downplayed in the B-plot of "Twin-Con". Plucky turns Hamton into a meme after recording him tripping and falling. Plucky proceeds to capitalise on Hamton’s newfound fame and adoration by making merchandise of him. Hamton is uncomfortable with the fact that the students are willing to make themselves his slaves just to be around him. He even points out that his friends already like him. Despite this, he flies into a fiery tantrum after someone fails to recognise him because they've moved onto the next fad. However, he admits that he’s relieved to not be popular anymore and happily welcomes the new internet sensation: Popcorn Accountant.
