It’s a Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special
Episode 12
Tuesday, 23 July, 2024

🎄It’s 1992, and there’s no such thing as Buster Bunny. The Advent Calendar House wraps up Christmas in July with the unofficial series finale of “Tiny Toon Adventures,” when Buster wishes he’d never been on the show, and the horrors within Montana Max’s Biff Tannen Pleasure Palace or whatever. **** 🎙 Guests: Adam Pope (Geekster, YouTube, Remember That Show?) William Bruce West (West Week Ever, Remember That Show?) Chad Young (The Horror Movie BBQ) **** 💬 Topics & Tangents: 1. I found this special hiding in a 4-hour Christmas special compilation on the Internet Archive. 2. “Meet the Tiny Toons” in the special edition magazine “Bugs Bunny: He’s 50, Folks” (1990). 3. “The Chipmunks Go to the Movies.” 4. Tony Pope (God) as Goofy in “Watch Out for Goofy” (the theme song for Adam’s 2 Goofs Podcast) and as the first voice heard in “Back to the Future.” 5. John Kassir (who voices Buster in this episode) as the Crypt-Keeper in RD’s Retro Detention Halloween Specials in 2019 and 2023. 6. Today’s TV Trope: Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal. 7. Jacoby & Meyers and a 2-minute-long tangent about personal injury lawyer commercials. 8. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s upcoming role as Santa in “The Man with the Bag.” 9. American Express Commercials with Mel Blanc and Jim Davis. 10. Bugs Bunny may have been voiced by an uncredited Noel Blanc, Mel’s son, for a single line at the end. **** 📼 Commercial Break: Godzilla: The Series Promo (1998) Toy Story: Holiday TV Spot (1995) **** “Tiny Toon Adventures” and “It’s a Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special” © 1992 Warner Bros. Theme song by Bronwen’s Ghost. Full show notes and social links at adventcalendar.house.
