Plot
Edit
Babs Bunny is applying make-up when Buster Bunny enters the powder room to tell her a joke: "How does a dumb bunny answer a question?" Babs tells him, "I don't know." And Buster tells her she's right. Says Babs with cynicism, "Brilliant. Very mature." Buster asks to use it for the opening, resulting in a fight between whether he or Babs is doing the opening until Babs' pupil kicks Buster's. Buster plays heads or tails with Babs with a coin, and Babs chooses tails. But when Buster flips the coin, it lands onto a high beam, causing Buster to get a ladder and look. It turned out to be heads, so Buster decided he was doing "the OPENING!!!!" (He was on the ladder when it tipped over). Later, he was doing the opening.
During the opening, the announcer announces (respectively) Babs and Buster Bunny, Plucky Duck, Elmyra, Hamton J. Pig, and even Montana Max, Dizzy Devil and Calamity Coyote in the Weekday Afternoon Live band, and some others that may not even appear, and finally, their guest star, Blard Simpleton (a parody of Bart Simpson). Babs shows Blard that their show isn't like his, because anvils falling, and getting eaten by monsters whole and alive, and getting uneaten in one piece, wouldn't happen. He asks Babs if it's too late to back out, and she says it is. As a camera falls on him, he says the guest-host monologue stinks, to which Babs tells him it is a tradition and is supposed to stink.
Then come the sketches.
After that, Blard says "Good night, man!" just before the stage falls with him and the other characters, including Elmer Fudd, whom there had been multiple clones of in one of the sketches.

Weekday Update with Rabbit Chase
Buster, as Rabbit Chase, reviews the top stories of Tiny Toon Adventures, such as Concord Condor revealed to have been the grandson of former Three Stooges member, Moe Howard (because they both have the same hairstyle), Barky Marky's lack of appearances on the show, and the issue of too much violence on TV (which Elmyra mistakenly hears as violets, which she doesn't think there's enough of on TV).
ABC Gum Commercial
Sneezer and Sweetie enjoy their friendship, sharing their laughter, tears, and yes, even their gum. A lonely Sneezer decides to relive the feeling with ABC (Already Been Chewed) gum, which the announcer describes as "The next best thing to a best friend."

The Cornheads
Buster, Babs, and Elmyra play The Cornheads, a family of extraterrestrials with corn on their heads. Blard Simpleton plays a paperboy and the non-corn date of Elmyron, who (not surprisingly) rejects her, causing her to get so angry, she pops her corn.
