Who is your favorite Tiny Toon character from the great cartoon show, Tiny Toon Adventures?

**BourgeoisBuffoon** · 09-30-2001, 03:29 PM

Buster. He got to have a great personality developed...plus, he takes after the great Bugs...how can you not like him then? He was classic in HOW I SPENT MY VACATION.

Montana Max gets my second-place vote....anyone ever remember "ACCCNNNEEEE!"

**Joe Tully** · 09-30-2001, 03:30 PM

I'm writing in Gogo Dodo.

lol yes I do!

I voted for Furrball - poor guy always had stuff happen to him, yet he somehow never lost the will to live - but I'm also writing in Fifi la Fume.

**Emmanuel Cruz** · 09-30-2001, 03:37 PM

I voted for Hamton. I think he's a great and loveable character and he has a huge appetite like mine. For 2nd I would either vote for Buster, Plucky or Max.

Since Sweetie Bird wasn't one of the choices (I love her almost split personality changes in certain cartoons accompanied by the frenzied voice) I HAD to choose Elmyra Duff. She is a great foil, even though she is modelled after Elmer, she stands alone in personality. Cree Summer really gave her the extra character that made her so amusing. My favourite moment: at the end of "Bag That Bunny"-

"We didn't get the bunny wunny. Oh well, I guess YOU'LL just have to do- with a little imagination you could be a 'sort-of' bunny wunny. Best part is I won't have to spend three month's allowance for a real one!!"

Then she skips away smashing the coyote against the ground on the way off holding him by the ears...... hilarious stuff!!

Larry T:

She reminded me of a very young Judy Tenuta when she did that. I wonder if that was Candi Milo's intent....
But I'll concur with Joe--I'm a Gogo man. "Vo-do-dee-oh...vo-do-dee-oh...vo-do-de-oh-do-do!" "Cuckoo! Cuckoo! [deep snooty voice] My agent said if I took this job I was cuckoo. [natural voice] Cuckoo!"
Dizzy Devil is a close second. That's pretty much me at El Acapulco or a Chinese buffet. "Then me a happy little devil!"

**BourgeoisBuffoon** · 09-30-2001, 05:51 PM

Unlike others here, I HATE Sweetie Bird. She's anything BUT sweet to me...that split personality is annoying, she and just wants to make me give her to a cat!...one that WILL eat her!

....sorry, but that's how I feel. Too nasty to be funny...

I always liked Furball. There were several of his cartoons that were different from the others in that show. Tiny Toons was great, but the cartoons were the best when they stood out, such as the several full half-hour episodes. Furball was in several of these, and they were...GASP...believable and touching, instead of crazy and hyperactive. There was a cartoon I remember in particular in which Furball was an alleycat trying to find a home, and another in which Furball was occupied by a troubled family of fleas. Runner up would be Montana Max, remember that doorbell that went "MON-NEY!"

I'm wanting to say Dizzy, but in my heart I know Monty was always the funniest.

Sweetie was at her best in "Kon-Ducky." Now, that was clinical insanity, with the best part being the documentary that followed on the making of "Kon-Ducky." One of the best episodes.

I don't have quibbles with most of the Tiny Toons, even Elmyra, who hadn't been mishandled into being P&B's mistress. Sneezer I don't like as much as I should, as he's a botchy take on Sniffles and didn't seem to have any of the classic mice for a mentor. And I am ashamed to admit an affection for Elmyra's idiot brother Duncan.

**Eric42** · 10-01-2001, 01:31 AM

Heya guys!

Since I'm the TTA guy around here, I went ahead and added a couple of the choices that you guys mentioned here... Sweetie, Fifi Lafume (HOW COULD ANYONE FORGET TO ADD FIFI?!?), and Gogo Dodo.

I voted for Babs Bunny btw. I just love Tress's voice for Babs.

**Sogturtle** · 10-01-2001, 02:54 AM

For me I loved the bulk of the Tiny Toonsters and most all of the episodes... My vote was a torturous (well sort of) tie between Buster, Babs, and the ol' Pluckster... Loved the take on Bat-duck, Babs morphing into Dolly Parton and Cher, and so many other looney episodes. Also have a great fondness for Mr. Mismatched Eyes, Dizzy Devil. But my vote ended up going to the little blue bunny though... The protege of Bugs Bunny himself, Buster Bunny.

('Course I put Tiny Toons ornaments on my Christmas tree every year alongside all the Warner Bros and Popeye ones.)

Garrett · 10-01-2001, 05:30 AM

I voted for Buster, but any mention of Plucky isn't complete without this nugget:

"Toilet painter go down the hole!"

God, that's about the single funniest cartoon ever.

Garrett

**BourgeoisBuffoon** · 10-01-2001, 08:41 AM

NOO!! I forgot baby Plucky! He should be a seperate char himself on the poll...and if he is, I'd take my vote over to him!

"KITTY go down the hole"....poor Furrball! Oh, don't forget the golf course trip...

**Sogturtle** · 10-01-2001, 09:16 AM

"Plucky go down, Plucky go down!"

(This brought to you as a paid political announcement

from the guy with baby Plucky cels adorning his walls...)

**Larry T** · 10-01-2001, 09:26 AM

Oh- "The Potty Years" was THE single most outstanding cartoon I've ever seen that was made in the past 10 years!! There are very nicely animated scenes in there as well as a hilarious voice cast and really funny jokes. I'm surprised nobody mentioned the original Shirley McLoon or Little Fowl Mouth as favourites (well, before they were toned down anyway)-

As a matter of fact, I can think of quite a few Tiny Toon episodes that go down in my history books as must-sees if you're interested in just how funny recent animation can be without mass marketing plug-ins:

1. Devil Doggie -Elmyra adopts Dizzy as her "puppy". Funniest scene- the squirrel trying to get out her deathly grasp.

2. Bag That Bunny - Elmyra wants the cute little fuzzy cuddly hippety-hop. A great rendition of the Road-Runner/Coyote spot gag cartoons. Elmyra's sheer stupidity makes this cartoon go.

3. To Bleep Or Not To Bleep - My friend and I used to watch this cartoon and add actual expletives where the *bleep* ing occurs.... just a little way to make a funny cartoon even funnier.

4. Buster and The Wolverine - Peter and the Wolf gone awry, Tiny Toons style. Great stuff.

5. The Potty Years - no description needed. If you missed this cartoon, find someone who's got it and recognize what real humour is all about.

"Ele-lator go down the hooolllllleeee......".... "I push '8'...I push '8' again..... I-PUSH-the-BUTTON....I-Push-it-again. Again and again and again!"

**Vdubdavid** · 10-01-2001, 08:58 PM

I vote for Plucky!!!!!!!! His performance with Hampton's family in "How I Spent My Vacation" is PRICELESS! Remember the part where he's trying to escape the madman? "Dad, oh Dad, Wade, MR. PIG!"

**don Jaime** · 10-01-2001, 11:07 PM

Could this show even be made today? Between "The Potty Years," "Bacon Strip," and "Milk: It Makes a Body Squirt," I can't imagine any network censor worth his cliched outlook on life touching this. Classic stuff.

Welllll actually if it was distributed the same way as 11 years ago, that is, via syndication then it could well be as carefree. Tiny Toons and Animaniacs do truly share the mantel of "modern classics".

Bizarrely enough the publisher of an otherwse fine animation magazine (which shall remain nameless) views ALL of the Spielberg/Warner toon shows as horrible beyond words! One more case of "the expert" not knowing what he's talking about!!!

Best episode ever. Period.
