This is my fifth favorite episode of the show, it's pretty much Tiny Toon's version of MTV and it's both funny and cool. Watching this episode now is not just a nostalgia vibe but also a bit of a history lesson for any new generation, as each of the songs that go with the cartoon we're all hits from the 90's and yesteryear, let alone the episode is parodying a time when MTV was really popular in the 80's and 90's and was still well MTV.
Each of the music videos are fun, the animated segments fit well with the songs. This is all visual humor, but it's executed well and at the right time. I'll state a few of my favorites.
Respect: This is a favorite song from the now late great Aretha Franklin. It's just funny seeing Babs she is listening to the song on the Walkman, lip sinking, and she is just pop up in just a lot of random places inadvertently contradicting the theme and cause some people lots of grief. One place that was funny was the Pet Cemetery, which was clearly inappropriate, however something good comes out of that. However, lets just say in the end Babs learns the meaning of the word respect the hard way.
Particle Man: I really love this segment which clear fits a fun but strange song. Plucky as we see is a pro wrestler named Particle Man and he must contend with other wrestles who are as big as buildings and have colorful strange names too. I wouldn't even call this a wrestling match it was more like a slaughter as Plucky gets his butt whooped by each wrestler that comes his way, it is painfully hilarious.
Teachers Apprentice: This is my favorite video in the episode which stars Buster Bunny along with Bugs. This is obviously a parody on "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" segment on "Fantasia". Though here instead of magic, it's a computer which is cool as we see it's one that can make any episode and movie you want, I want that computer.
Anyway Buster of course messes around with it when he shouldn't and despite making movies starring him nothing ever goes right as his character is just in one crazy situation after another. It reminds me of the arcade game "Dragon's Lair" like in that game Buster is thrust into one situation after another and he has only a split second to act and react.
This episode is gold platinum standard entertainment.
Rating: 4 stars
