The tenth episode of the first season of The Looney Tunes Show.
During a bachelor auction, Lola wins a date with Bugs, which she decides to have in Paris. Meanwhile, Daffy, whose date at the auction was won by Granny, comes to the latter's house and is asked to clean her living room, only to be distracted by Granny reminiscing about her World War II days as a spy.
This episode features the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote short, "Winter Blunderland".
This episode provides examples of:
- Action Girl: Granny as a spy in WWII.
- Alternate History: According to Granny, she took part in World War II shortly before the Allies freed France from Germany. Her mission ended up fighting to prevent the theft of the Eiffel Tower. After returning it, she was gifted it to take home while a replica was quickly placed in Paris.
- Art Shift: The flashback scenes are depicted with a more realistic style, also doubles as an Animation Bump as they're animated more fluidly and dynamically than the rest of the episode.
- Bachelor Auction: What kickstarts the plot. Bugs and Daffy volunteer to be part of a charity bachelor auction hosted by Porky to raise money for literacy. Bugs gets bought by Lola, Daffy gets bought by Granny.
- Bad Boss: Colonel Frankenheimer. He slaps his men for laughing with him, and when one of them misses Granny and Tweety with his machine gun, he throws the guy out to his death.
- Barefoot Cartoon Animal: Bugs puts on a tuxedo for the bachelor auction, but without shoes.
- Behind the Black: Apparently, Daffy didn't notice that Granny had the real Eiffel Tower behind her house.
- Camera Sniper: Granny, in her flashback to her WWII days.
- Chekhov's Gag: In the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote short, "Winter Blunderland", Wile E. uses the ACME Insta-winter to freeze the desert, but it runs out of ice when there's just one little patch of land left. At the end of the short, that unfrozen patch foils Wile E.'s plan to catch Road Runner when he runs over it.
- Continuity Nod: When Daffy confuses "literacy" with "littering" and says how it should be a crime:Bugs: It is a crime. Remember you went to jail for it?note
- Did Not Think This Through: After winning a whole day-long date with Bugs, Lola decides to spend it in Paris. Problem is, it takes 10 hours for the flights between the US and France, meaning that she only has 4 hours with Bugs.
- Did You Die?: Daffy asks this during Granny's story about her WWII spy days. Three times.Granny: You're not very bright, are you?
- Disney Villain Death: Subverted. The final fight of Granny's WWII flashback takes place on top of a blimp and Frankenheimer does fall, but Tweety tied a rope around his leg and saved him. Though the same can probably not be said for the Mook he threw out of the blimp earlier...
- Disproportionate Reward: The French gave Granny the Eiffel Tower as a reward for saving it from being stolen by the Nazis. The one in Paris is a replica.
- Double Take: After his date with Lola in Paris, Bugs takes a picture of them in front of the Eiffel Tower on the fridge, only to be flabbergasted upon seeing a picture of Daffy on the same day in front of the real Eiffel Tower at Granny's house.
- Falling-in-Love Montage: Bugs and Lola have one in Paris.
- Family-Friendly Firearms: Averted in a step away from the Looney Tunes legacy of using Ash Face; when Granny reminisces about being a spy in Nazi-occupied France, the German soldiers are shooting real MP40s at her and are really trying to kill her. Not that they even come close to succeeding.
- First Kiss: Bugs and Lola get one to end their Falling-in-Love Montage.
- Flashback: Half of the episode focuses on Granny telling Daffy about her WWII days.
- Fun with Acronyms: Granny served in the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps, or the WAAC.Daffy: I hate to tell you, lady, but you're still a WAAC.
- Glove Slap: Frankenheimer does this to two of his Mooks.
- Hindenburg Incendiary Principle: Daffy has this trope in mind when Granny tells how she took over flying a Nazi blimp...Daffy: Did the blimp explode? Did it explode into a million pieces?! It exploded and killed you, didn't it?!
- I Was Quite a Looker: Granny in her WWII spy years.
- I'm Your Worst Nightmare: When Tweety ties a rope around Frankenheimer's leg:Frankenheimer: And who are you?
Tweety: Your worst nightmare! - Kick Chick: Granny, in her younger days.
- Moment Killer: Once Bugs gets Lola to stop talking, they get to share a romantic montage together, but then Lola ruins the mood by talking again.
- Monumental Theft: Frankenheimer attempts to steal the Eiffel Tower by hooking it to a Zeppelin and flying it to Germany.
- No Swastikas: The German soldiers seen in Granny's flashbacks to World War II use generic black cross symbols on their flags... which Nazis did sometimes use as symbols in real life, as well as swastikas.
- Older Than They Look: Tweety, who hasn't physically aged since WWII and refuses to tell Sylvester how old he really is.
- Retired Badass: Granny of all people. She was an Action Girl spy during WWII.
- The Reveal: Turns out after Granny returned the Eiffel Tower during the war, she was given the real one to take home, with a replica remaining in France.
- Shout-Out:
- The auctioning off of Daffy is extremely similar to Groundhog Day when Larry is being auctioned, complete with the same end amount of two bits.
- Granny's younger look during the flashback has a startling resemblance to Cinderella. On the other hand, this might also be a reference to the climax of Broom-Stick Bunny, wherein Witch Hazel became a caricature of what June Foray looked like at the time of that short.
- When Lola mistakes the Eiffel Tower for Stonehenge, she utters out the familiar line from the end of the Iconic Tootsie Pop commercial
.Bugs: It's the Eiffel Tower.
Lola: The world will never know. - In the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote short, "Winter Blunderland", after Wile E. freezes the desert with the ACME Insta-winter, a shuttle loop-like structure can be seen. Later in the short, Wile E. chases Road Runner through the shuttle loop.
- Stock Scream: In the WWII flashback, Frankenheimer pushes a subordinate out of a blimp, who subsequently lets out a Wilhelm scream.
- Those Wacky Nazis: Appears in Granny's WWII flashback. However, they're played far less sterotypically than one might expect. Granny also never refers to them as Nazis, just Germans, plus the closest to Nazi symbolism shown is an Iron Cross.
- The Unreveal: Tweety refuses to tell Sylvester his real age, but does whisper to the latter about being either a boy or a girl, which is not revealed to the audience.Sylvester: Huh, I was wrong.
