[upbeat instrumental music]
[Yosemite Sam] Students are a-comin'! Students are a-comin'!
[gasps]
Ooh.
Can't have no dadgum smudges on the first day of school.
- Students are a-comin'! - [door slams]
[explosion]
That's it. Just a little further.
Students are a-comin'!
[clank]
- Just a little... - [clank]
...further.
Welcome class of... Yow!
Stay off my dang petunias.
[buzzing]
Two hundred miles underground,
and only two wrong turns at Albuquerque.
Good thing you spent all summer working on your digging arm, Babs.
[grunts]
We did it, Buster. We're at Acme Looniversity.
- Woo-hoo! - We're here, we're here, we're here, we're here!
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
- The greatest tooniversity in the world. - Yes!
Do you realize the history of this place?
This is where Road Runner learned how to meep-meep.
It's where Tweety Bird first tawt they taw a puddy tat.
And where Bugs Bunny came up with his catchphrase,
"Eh [chomping] what's up, Doc?"
Okay, let's see where we're gonna be living for the next four years.
Sharing our wins, our successes, our triumphs,
and all the good things inevitably coming our way.
And our dorm is...
- Fudd Hall. - Merrie Melodies.
[birds chirping]
[both gasps] We're in different dorms.
We've never been apart.
Except for when I was born one second earlier,
and existing alone was agonizing.
How could they do this to us?
Don't they know twins come as a pair?
We worked too hard to get here to give up now.
What's my life mantra?
"Bagels are just donuts that forgot to have fun."
No, the other one.
"There's a solution to every problem."
Including this one.
[vrooms]
[tires screech]
Look, Hamton, this is where your mom started her toon career.
[chuckles]
Yeah. Maybe once I master tooning,
I-I'll take some medical classes.
Just for f-f-fun.
[Joan] Doctors aren't fun.
You ever hit one with a pie?
They get mad and kick you out of the operating room.
You're here to do two things.
Make new friends and crack 'em all up.
What if nobody thinks I'm f-f-funny?
[gasps] Nonsense.
You're a Swhinefeld. You were born funny.
- [laughing] - [honks]
Just remember.
ABLFJ.
Always be looking for jokes.
Muah.
[screeches]
[loud pop music blaring]
Cool bag!
- [turns off music] - Was it half off?
[laughs, sobs]
[Sweetie] Whoa, what happened?
I was cruelly separated from my twin brother.
We share everything,
and now we've been split apart.
I do not stand for injustice.
If someone messes with you, then they mess with me,
and you don't wanna mess with Sweetie T. Bird!
What's the T stand for?
Thunder!
[lightning crashes]
JK. I don't have a middle name.
But if I did, it would be Thunder.
[lightning crashes]
I'm Babs Bunny.
- You seem really awesome. - You, too.
Babs, I'm gonna help reunite you with your brother.
Step one, find out who's in charge.
Yeah. Who's the top banana?
The big cheese.
The whole enchilada.
We should have a snack first. Don't you think?
Absolutely.
Try the brie with the strawberry jam.
It will knock your ears off.
Mmm. Too bad I'm moving out.
I could get used to this.
[munching]
[Buster sighs]
Chasing my dreams at Acme Loo without my twin sister at my side?
[inhales] It's so sad to be...
♪ Alone ♪
♪ Why am I so alone? ♪
♪ Why am I-- ♪
Whoa. I wasn't informed there'd be singing on the first day.
- Is there a vocal competition afoot? - Uh, no, I--
Because even though I am not prepared, I will succeed.
♪ Mi mi mo mo ♪
I was singing because I'm going through something difficult.
My sister and I--
Oh. So nothing important. Hoo!
The name's Pluciferous Von Mallard Duck.
But since the general masses
suffer from diction impediments,
I go by Plucky.
What an honor.
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Hold onto that. It will increase in value.
Whoa there, buddy. I was gonna take the top bunk.
Really? What a fascinating tale.
Listen, Plucky, there are rules to choosing bunks.
Let's rock, paper, scissors for it.
I'm sorry. The only game I play is three-dimensional chess.
- Draw straws? - Who would verify the results?
Not my legal team. They're backed up with my exploratory lawsuits.
Ooh.
Then I guess we'll do it the old-fashioned way.
Gasp.
Grrr.
[thud]
- Ah. - [buzzes]
[gasps]
[grunts]
[thud]
H-h-hello there, new roomies.
- [gasps] - [structure crashing]
[spits]
[both grunting]
Hamton J. Pig, your new friend and giver of laughs.
[chuckles] Gah. Just, uh...
Oh.
Oh, dear. These aren't as slippery as I expected.
Um, anyways, hello.
[gasps] Ow!
Nice to meet you, Hamton.
Looks like we'll have to figure out a way to settle this later.
All I can say is en garde!
You forgot the best part of saying that line.
And what's that?
- [thud] - [grunts]
En garde!
[students chattering]
- Babs. - Buster.
My roommate is terrible. How about yours?
Well, she's no twin brother, but she's still pretty great.
Don't worry, we've got a plan to get me and you in the same dorm room.
We just need to--
Do whatever it takes to keep Plucky from getting the top bunk?
Ah, sorry, I'm kind of wrapped up in my own drama right now.
[fanfare]
It's him! He's here!
Professor Bugs is here.
[all gasping]
[kisses]
[mannequin crashes]
Eh, what's up, Docs?
[all cheering]
All right, all right, settle down.
Now, you're here because you're the best of the best.
Thank you, thank you.
[laughs]
For your first assignment,
I wanna see something original, something unique.
I wanna see your best gag.
You have one week,
and whoever aces this first assignment
will also get a coveted spot in the Freshmen Hall of Fame.
[gasps]
[Buster] This is how we settle it.
[thudding]
Best gag gets top bunk.
You challenging me?
Preposterous. Ludicrous.
You're on.
I suggest you get ready for life in my shadow, buddy.
[classical music playing]
[humming]
[explosion]
[vacuum cleaner whirring]
[clatters]
Good, good, yes.
Uh, but the ka-boom needs more levels.
How dare you give an actor of my caliber a line reading?
I'm sorry. You're just not understanding the scene.
I wrote the scene!
- Well, I'm directing... - Wow.
I could never do something that wonderfully cuckoo.
Come on, you could be just as good as Plucky.
Gags are easy if you just loosen up.
Check it out. Slap me.
- [hesitates] - [soft tap]
[whirring]
See? Easy. Now you try.
- [bell dings] - Whoa.
- [smack] - Ow!
[crying]
Was that funny?
Okay. Take a deep breath
and think funny thoughts.
[thwack]
[Sweetie] Oh, Shirley can help us.
She's the RA and knows everything.
Hi, um, are you Shirley?
No. I'm Shirley's astral projection.
I am Shirley.
You're either here for spiritual guidance or your hot water's out.
Either way, I'm here to help you.
Um, so I requested to be dormed with my twin brother,
um, but we got split up.
Hm.
This problem, unfortunately, vibrates on a higher plane than my powers can reach.
So you're gonna need to escalate to the next level of dominion.
Oh, you're saying we should go to the dean?
- Exactly. - How did you--
My moms are punk poets with Aries rising.
I speak the language.
[Buster] Okay, Hamton. We're gonna have to go deeper.
Deep into your subconscious to find what's blocking you.
I'm gonna show you some images.
Just tell me what you see, okay?
A mother.
It looks like a mother.
Uh, no.
Looks like a famous comedian mother
being disappointed in her son
for not living up to her expectations.
Uh-huh.
[Joan] You got 'em all in stitches, Hammie?
They're all gonna laugh at you.
Or at least that's what I'm hoping.
I'm not good enough to be here!
I am not a natural talent like you.
You can't see how much talent you have, but I can.
Well, thanks, fr-fr-fr... Er, buddy.
Anytime, pal.
[both] Hup, ho, hup, ho. Yeah!
I'm glad you're here, roomie.
Me too.
And don't worry, you'll be reunited with Buster in no time.
All we gotta do is talk to the dean.
[sinister music playing]
[electricity buzzing]
[gulps]
[teeth chattering]
[both gasping]
- [thud] - [both gasping]
Toony traps!
- [thudding] - [both panting]
[both screaming]
[screaming]
[both gasping]
[rumbling]
We got this.
[screams]
[hinges squeaking]
[both gulping]
Next time, just make an appointment.
Matcha or Earl Grey?
So, Sweetie, Babs...
[sips] how have you been getting along?
Amazing. I love Babs.
Sweetie's the best.
Great. So everything's fine?
- [gulps] - You got this.
Go ahead. Tell her.
Well, um...
Actually, you see, Buster and I are twins,
and we've grown up doing everything together.
Yes, I know.
I was thinking it would be nice
if we could live together at Acme Loo.
Uh-huh. Interesting.
Babs, Acme Loo is a place
where toons come to discover themselves as individuals.
But I don't want anybody to be unhappy.
So here's the deal. We arm wrestle for it.
You beat me, you get to go back to living with your brother.
I win, and let's just say
everybody's gonna know about it.
[echoes] Know about it. Know about it.
Know about it. Know about it.
Hmm. Good thing I spent my whole summer working on my digging arm.
Muah. Get ready to meet Shirley Chisel.
Yeah! Let's do this! Rah!
Oop. Sorry.
[shatters]
[lively piano music playing]
[whirring]
Meep-meep!
[crowd applauding]
One day, you'll tell your friends you saw me early in my career.
Why would I wanna bore my friends?
[dramatic classical music playing]
Hm.
[whirring]
[explosion]
- [audience applauding] - [panting]
An eight?
You wouldn't know talent if it hit you in the face.
I mean, your judgement is flawless.
[teeth chattering, shuddering]
You can do this. You just gotta believe in yourself.
[Bugs] Now performing, Buster Bunny.
Oh, no. I was so busy helping you, Hamton,
I forgot to work on my own routine.
Where's Babs? She'd know what to do.
[Sweetie] Get her, Babs.
[cheering] Yeah!
Who's gonna rub his ears when he has a nightmare?
And tell me it's okay to have cake for breakfast.
Wouldn't want you to make new friends,
expand your horizons.
You should go back to what you're used to.
Back to your comfort zone.
[cheering] Yeah, Babs! You got this, Babs, you got this!
[whooping]
B-A-B-S. Yeah, that bunny is the best!
[grunts]
Oh, no. I mean, yay. I mean...
I have a lot of conflicting feelings.
Guess you're stuck with your amazing new feathered friend.
Yeah. I-I am.
[both chuckle]
One more thing. You're late for your exam.
[both gasp]
Ha, attagirl, Ruth Bader Gunsberg.
Muah.
[breathing deeply]
[clears throat]
So I'll be performing by myself
for the first time ever [chuckles nervously] without Babs.
Alone. Just [gulps] me.
Just me.
Routine number 63!
- Babs! - [laughing]
Aww.
[lively music playing]
I'd hate to follow my outstanding performance.
[audience cheering]
What the...
[all gasping]
[explosion]
[music ends]
[audience cheering]
The top bunk was almost mine!
[Bugs] Hamton, you're up.
[teeth chattering]
Hamton, buddy, you got this!
- [cheering] - [laughs] Yeah!
[heart thumping]
[grunts]
[gasps]
You're Joan Swhinefeld's kid.
Class, be prepared to be dazzled by the son of a legend.
- [audience exclaiming] - [teeth chattering]
You're a Swhinefeld. You were born funny.
[blows raspberry]
[sobs]
I don't know how to be funny!
[wailing]
[water rushing]
[Hamton wailing]
Bravo, bravo.
This is how you do it.
Reach into the depths of your biggest fears to find the best gag.
[audience cheering]
Tens, tens, tens across the board!
Nice going, buddy!
[blabbering]
[slurping]
I'm sorry I wasn't able to get us back in a dorm together.
Honestly, sis, I think it's gonna be a good thing.
I'm looking forward to hanging out with my new friend...
[slurping]
[kisses]
...and Plucky.
Yeah, it's gonna be good for us to find out who we are outside of being twins.
Hey, since we're doing secret whisper conversations,
I wanted to ask.
I know you threw that arm-wrestling match. But why?
Well, I realized if I got transferred out of Merrie Melodies,
then I wouldn't be roommates with you anymore.
[gasps, crying]
That's the nicest thing I've ever heard.
Sorry. I got a tough exterior,
but when the emotional dam breaks, it breaks hard.
- Babs, what's with the shirt? - Oh, yeah.
'Cause I lost to Dean Granny, I gotta wear this for the next two weeks.
[all laughing]
[upbeat music playing]
[all] Yeah!
