** "Tears of a Clone" has a brief gag where Buster's clone tricks Fifi into dying over her stripe with purple hair dye, and Furball making a snarky comment about her horror at it. Not only is it a subtle nod to what her original premise was, but Furball was one of the characters to get a white stripe down his back in the original show.

* TheBGrade: In "Tooney Ball Lights", Babs and Plucky study as hard as they can to pass Daffy's anvil class, only to both get a C-. Subverted in that the class is so hard, those are actually the highest grades anyone has ever goten there.



* TheDitherer: Hamton in "Tooney Ball Lights". He can't choose an elective and just wishes the school would assign him one. He goes to Shirley for help and she puts him in a sensory deprivation chamber, where he has a fantasy where he's a train that has to choose from one of two tracks. He makes a breakthrough by TakingAThirdOption.

Much of the cast is unhappy with [[PlayingAgainstType the roles they've been assigned]], but she doesn't want to hear their complaints, and keeps insisting Plucky say nothing and do nothing [[PlayingATree in his role as a cactus]]. It even gets to the point where Babs starts feuding with her own brother Buster for not letting him play Bugs, all the while claiming the cast's complaints are interfering with "her vision". It isn't until the first act of the performance goes horribly wrong that [[JerkassRealization Babs realizes what she's done]] and [[PoorCommunicationKills refused to listen to the cast members]]. Once she directly talks to them about why she made those casting choices, the rest of the play goes smoothly.

** Babs, while still a confident smart-mouth, has gone from a wacky anything-goes class clown who does imitations to a neat and organized straight A student.
** Plucky is more sophisticated and suave, with a passion for fine arts that he didn't have in the original show. He also doesn't have his original counterpart's HeroWorship of Daffy Duck.
** Hamton is less of a NeatFreak and more a nervous and overemotional [[TheDitherer Ditherer]]. He's also obtained a slight [[PorkyPigPronunciation Porky Pig]]-like stutter, though it's very toned down.
** Sweetie has gone from a deceptively cute {{Jerkass}} to an anger-prone BruiserWithASoftCenter and a punk girl aesthetic.
