The twenty-fourth episode of the second season of The Looney Tunes Show.
Daffy enrolls in a hot dog eating contest to win the title of "Mr. Wiener" and to defend his family legacy of winning this kind of events. But since he needs to eat 62 hot dogs to beat the record and his personal best is four and a half, he needs to train before entering. Meanwhile, the doctor orders Bugs to avoid stress and efforts because he has an excessive heart rate, but Yosemite Sam involves Bugs into preparing a daredevil stunt, to defend his (Sam's) legacy. In a third storyline, Porky has a date with Petunia and, following Daffy's dating advice, he tries to appear cool and secure by acting uninterested in her.
This episode provides examples of:
- Balloonacy: Daffy inflates himself with helium and ties himself to the chair not to float away, but the thread snaps.
- Balloon Belly: Daffy attempts to invoke this by asking the doctor to expand his stomach for the contest. The doctor obviously refuses. In the end, Daffy manages this in a literal way — by inflating himself with helium.
- Big "WHAT?!": Porky when told the ferris wheel is stuck.
- Bittersweet Ending: For Daffy. He wins the hot dog eating contest, but his Balloon Belly, which he invoked on himself to make more room for the hot dogs, is seen as cheating and he is stripped of his title. However, Bugs decides to call him Mr. Wiener himself as a consolation, and Daffy still gets the jacket.
