cartoons, such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Sylvester the
Cat, Wile E. Coyote and Elmer Fudd. In the series, the university is
founded to teach cartoon characters how to become funny. The school is
not featured in every episode, as not all of its storylines revolve
around the school.Like the Looney Tunes, the series makes use of
cartoon violence (e.g. anvils falling on someone, liberal use of
explosives) and slapstick. The series parodies and references the
current events of the early 1990s and Hollywood culture. Occasionally,
episodes delve into veiled ethical and morality stories of ecology,
self-esteem, and crime.
