"You said it!"

Looney Tunes is no stranger to Surreal Humor. But when you have crew members from Uncle Grandpa and SpongeBob SquarePants make a Looney Tunes adaptation, things are about to get a lot more bizarre and hilarious!

Episode 1: The Curse of the Monkeybird/Marvin Flag #1/Harm Wrestling

The Curse of the Monkeybird

  • After Porky warns Daffy about the booby traps in the temple, Daffy steps on a rock which sends needles in Porky's direction, paralyzing him on point, with Daffy none the wiser. What follows is an Overly Long Gag of Daffy carelessly activating various booby traps, each one more absurd than the last as Porky is eventually rendered bedridden and in a bodycast.
  • Bitten in the leg by a snake, a frantic Daffy has Porky attempt to suck out the poison from said leg. At first, it doesn't look like Porky will succeed... until we see that Daffy somehow managed to get the treasure while supposedly being on the verge of death. Oh, and it also turns out his leg is actually the Monkeybird's.
  • Porky, Daffy and the Monkeybird pause their chase to look at their photos on the flume ride.
  • The cartoon ends with the marriage of Daffy and the Monkeybird, with the snake from before as the minister.

Harm Wrestling

  • Bugs keeps tickling Sam's hand, causing him to giggle like a little girl.
  • Bugs inflates his arm to make himself more muscular. Sam protests that it's cheating, so Bugs transfer the air to Sam's own arm. Sam tries to push it back, but it ends up on his nose. After pushing back his nose, Sam resumes trying to arm wrestle, but a few scenes later, Bugs notes that the air has transferred into Sam's butt. Sam fixes it, the air now coming out of his moustache.
  • As Bugs and Sam arm wrestle, the camera pans to Sam and Bugs suddenly appears next to him. When Sam looks back at where Bugs was, the arm is now a stick of dynamite. So far, typical Looney Tunes gag. But then Sam turns back to Bugs and finds a rabbit dummy made of explosives. And the the camera pulls back to show the entire saloon full of explosives. Certainly, there's No Kill like Overkill.

Episode 2: Big League Beast/Mini Elmer/Firehouse Frenzy

Big League Beast

  • Bugs hides inside Gossamer's fur with only his ears visible. Bugs hands him an electric shaver and Gossamer is soon reduced to a pile of hair on the floor (repeating a gag from "Duck Dodgers and the Return of the Twenty-Fourth-and-a-Half Century"). Bugs then sweeps up the hair and flushes it down a toilet. Gossamer then emerges from the toilet, looking like a wet, skinny dog.
  • We finally see what Gossamer's feet look like inside his tennis shoes, and it's not a pretty sight. Bugs has to stop himself from throwing up.

Firehouse Frenzy

  • The fire alarm rings as Daffy, trying to get some sleep, tries hitting his alarm clock, eventually ending in him sending it to the dresser. Of course, that doesn't stop it as Daffy, still sleepy, grabs an axe and chops up the dresser where the clock is.
  • Daffy needs a Firehouse Dalmatian, so he sees a man walking his Dalmatian. Daffy then runs off and grabs the man, paints him in white and black dots and gives him a collar.
  • Before riding off to the fire, Daffy backs up the fire truck through several rooms because he forgot his coffee.
  • In the end, the fire was in the firehouse itself, which burns to the ground seconds after they find out. Porky and Daffy then go back to their beds (the only things left intact)... only for the alarm clock to ring for real.

Episode 3: Boo! Appetweet/Plunger/Bubble Dum

Boo! Appetweet

  • Granny discovers she's out of eggs and wonders how they ran out so fast. Sylvester then smiles for the camera, revealing the full dozen eggs inside his mouth.
  • When Sylvester, thinking he's ate Tweety, tries to go for a nice nap, the actual Tweety Bird (who at the time was covered in flour) approaches the cat as Sylvester waves hi. His facial expressions upon seeing what he thinks is a ghost Tweety are funny enough, but the fact that Tweety just asks for his cupcake as Sylvester looks between the bird and the face in his stomach (meant to resemble the cupcake) really brings it home.

Episode 4: Pain in the Ice / Tunnel Vision / Pool Bunny

Pain in the Ice

  • The sly aside Tweety gives the audience as he goes out to ice skate, which suggests he really is Obfuscating Stupidity.
    Granny: Have fun, Tweety!
    Tweety: I always have fun when Gwanny's not awound. [Eyebrow Waggle]

Tunnel Vision

  • In this variation of the old Painted Tunnel, Real Train gag, Wile E. actually enters the painted tunnel, only now he can't get out of it. Then the Road Runner hoses down the painting, Wile E. and all, down the sewer.

Pool Bunny

  • Bugs drains Elmer's pool as he dives into it, only he waits until the very last second to pull the lever. As Elmer is about to hit the bottom, the camera instead cuts to a seismograph that records the impact.
    Bugs: Hey, 4.3! Not bad.
  • Elmer saves Bugs from drowning. Bugs, seemingly on the verge of dying, asks for one last call to his wife... which he uses to invite her and the kids to Elmer's pool. Cue dozens of bunnies jumping into the water. Elmer consigns himself to a kiddie pool, Batty Lip Burbling as he pours water on himself.

Episode 5: Pest Coaster / Rhino Ya Don't
Pest Coaster
  • Bugs really does enjoy the amusement park.
    Bugs: Games, prizes, food high in saturated fat, this place isn't kidding around! I AM AMUSED!!
  • Bugs' overly excited reaction to the Murderizer:
    Bugs: [gasps excitedly, dropping everything he had in his hands from before] THE MOIDORWIZA!! Oh, it's poifect!
  • On Yosemite's very long sign of rules, there is a Freeze-Frame Bonus where one of the rules is "No Liberals".

Episode 13: Chain Gangsters / Sylvester Car Jack Lift / Falling for It!
Chain Gangsters
  • Everybody knows we're in for a good time whenever Bugs is shackled to Rocky and Mugsy.
    • While Bugs tunnels them out of jail, he warns them not to go through the surface just yet, but the crooks don't listen and get stuck trying to emerge from the hole. It's then that they find out what Bugs was warning them about: they're right under a rocket that's seconds away from launching! As the two are drenched in flames, Bugs takes the opportunity to roast a carrot on a stick.
      Bugs: The rocket fuel really brings out the flavor.
    • Rocky is annoyed that Bugs made them stop running to pick up a quarter, but when they try to hitch a ride on a bus, only Bugs can pay the 25-cent fee, leaving Rocky and Mugsy no choice but to be dragged along the highway for the next 53 miles.
    • Bugs hides the two from the cops by directing them into a garbage truck, with himself disguised as the driver. Just then, Granny comes by to throw out two anvils, a box of 200 armed mousetraps, and a barrel of nuclear fluid.
      Mugsy: (now with multiple eyes) Dah, I don't feel so good, boss.
      Rocky: (smacks him with a tentacled arm) Shaddup!
  • After Rocky and Mugsy have had all they can take being attached to Bugs and try to get back into prison, Bugs decides to give them a break and slips out of his ankle cuffs with ease.

Falling for It!

  • "Well, what do you know! Pigs can fly!"
  • After Porky and Daffy realize they have no parachutes, Daffy tells him not to worry, because cats always land on their feet. Porky has to remind him that they're not cats.
    Porky: D-D-Daffy Duck, P-P-Porky Pig! IT'S IN OUR NAMES!!
    Daffy: Oh boy...
  • When the two end up back on the plane after landing in a trampoline factory, Daffy announces there's nothing to worry about... right before the plane crashes into a mountain. Cue the famous "Porky-in-the-drum" end title with a charred and exhausted Porky breaking through.
    Porky: (coughs heavily) Th-Th-Th-That's aaaaaall, folks...

Episode 16: The Case of Porky's Pants / Fully Vetted

The Case of Porky's Pants

  • Daffy uses Porky's money for the ransom, and the latter is lamented as he was saving it for college. Daffy cracks up laughing before saying "Only idiots go to college!"
  • The culprit in charge of the ransom and theft of Porky's pants? The pair of pants itself!
    • The ending where Porky reveals he never wears pants, and Daffy is wondering whose pants they are. Not even the pants knows.

Fully Vetted

Episode 25: Bounty Bunny/Underwear/Vender Bender

Bounty Bunny

  • To get transportation to the police station after his bike is destroyed, bounty hunter Yosemite Sam has to use a hitchhiker's thumb, which Bugs whacks with a hammer to make it swell enough to be noticeable. Sure enough, someone does pull over to pick them up, which leads to this gem:
    Driver: Well, the police station is on the way, fellers, but I only got room for one in the front. One o' you's gotta ride in the back.
    Bugs: Then I'll take the back.
    Sam: (Beat, then his eyes widen in realization) Oh no, you don't! And lets ya escape without me seein'? I'm smarter than a dolphin in a monkey suit. You're sittin' in front. I'm takin' the back!
    Bugs does a Shrug Take before heading over to the front seat.
    Sam: Stupid rabbit. Think he can outsmart me! (climbs into the back of the truck and then shuts the door) Well, he can't! Ya know what I'm sayin', pack o' rabid dogs?
    Zoom out to show said rabid dogs surrounding Sam and growling while he gives an Aside Glance that all but says "This Is Gonna Suck". He screams and the dogs start mauling him while the "Rabid Dog Transport" truck drives away.
Episode 37: Rotund Rabbit / Hog Wash

Rotund Rabbit

  • Elmer attempts to shoot Bugs, but he is so fast that the bullet gives up and leaves.
  • Bugs eats so many carrots that he becomes too big to move. When Elmer decides to bring him home to cook him alive, even he struggles to move him.
  • The ending sequence of Bugs deflating into an abomination is so horrifying that it practically loops into being funny.

Hog Wash

  • The whole premise of Porky getting stuck in a carwash while Daffy watches, thinking he's at a drive-in movie theater watching previews.
    Daffy: I'll never get tired of superhero movies! NEVER!!
  • The short also has quite the Parental Bonus in it:
    Daffy, watching Porky get spanked by a mechanical arm: Ooo! PG-13! (raises eyebrows and flicks tongue suggestively)
