GOONY TUINES

**GOONY TUINES** is the eighth episode of *Pbandjist* and the first of the long-running "Goony Tuines" sub-series.

This episode introduces the "Goony Tuines" ensemble of characters to the series, as well as their titular series which, along with it's sister series, went on to become the most popular show produced by Pbandj Studios.

An obvious parody of Looney Tunes, this episode, as well as all other episodes in the sub-series attempt to loosely mimic the format of old Looney Tunes cartoons to various levels of success.

## Plot

The episode begins with an introduction to the "Gooney Tuines" by Halen Star-Dar and Eric, though the introduction is mostly given by Eric as Star-Dar tries and fails to get a word in. One by one, we're introduced to Daffy Google (a Webkinz Googles), Bugs Doggy (a red Dog), Semite Chang (a Chihuahua) and Elmer Hog (a groundhog). Eric begins singing his rendition of the common circus theme "Entrance of the Gladiators" by Julius Fučík as the gang of Gooney Tuines begin jumping across the screen. Star-Dar pops in briefly from the left hand side near the end to promise that "They'll make ya smile!". The intro ends with Daffy leaping towards the camera and staring blankly into it.

Daffy backs away from the camera and announces that they are just about ready to start the episode. Eric then (poorly) covers the camera lens with his hand and sings to the tune of the Looney Tunes theme "Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" as the cast prepares for the episodes shenanigans in the background.

The episode proper begins with Semite Chang walking quietly along the road outside of the *Castle.* Suddenly he stops and begins looking around as if suspicious of something. Just then, a gun shot rings out and Chang falls to the ground. Despite this, Chang immediately stands back up and demands to know the identity of his assailant and dares them to show themselves. A gun appears on the left side of the screen and a unseen voice says "Helwo". Chang is unimpressed, asks calmly who the voice is, hauls the gun from their hands, tosses it aside and asks his attacker to show their self. The unseen assailant sheepishly says they don't want to but begins to state their name as "Yosemite.." before they can finish, Chang pulls his attacker from cover, revealing it to be Elmer Hog.

Obviously caught in a lie, Elmer nervously looks at Chang and the two introduce themselves. Chang states that he is out on the hunt for the "evil" Daffy Google. Elmer seems excited by this and states that the two should team up. Chang refuses saying that Elmer is stupid and upper cuts him off frame. Elmer quickly returns and punches back but fails to do as much damage. Suddenly, Chang hauls out a gun so large he struggles to hold it, he states that doesn't need Elmer's help as he has this gun that he claims to have built. Elmer begs Chang not to hurt him and knocks the gun out of Chang's hand before he can fire, seemingly breaking it and knocking the Chihuahua out.

Later, Bugs Doggy and Daffy Google are walking down the same road Semite Chang had been earlier. Suddenly Elmer Hog appears and brandishes his gun towards them. Bugs pleads with Elmer not to shoot him, as despite the fact that he has a big gun, it is in fact Google season. Daffy argues that it's Dog season and the two go back and forth on this for a while, much to the annoyance of Elmer who just wants to know what season it actually is. Eventually Bugs tricks Daffy into stating that it's Google season by breaking the cycle and claiming it to be Dog season. Wanting to be right, Daffy says it's Google season and tells Elmer to fire, which he does as Daffy falls to the ground with a thud. Bugs states that this trick gets him every time, but in actuality it really is Google season anyway. Bugs begins to walk away, but either out of disbelief or pure malice, Elmer shoots Bugs in the back and he too falls to the ground.

Elmer attempts to collect the bodies of his victims but is stopped by none other then Semite Chang who grabs him and begins a Hoedown of some sort with him to a song Bugs and Daffy suddenly begin singing. The revived duo throw the hunters into a patch of mud and begin dancing themselves. Chang and Elmer get up and begin fighting among themselves. Still singing, Bugs grabs Elmer's gun and manages to shoot both the hunters into an off-screen bucket. Before they can get back up Bugs and Daffy pick up the hunters and throw them towards the camera filming them, which reacts unfavourably with a Microsoft Windows error sound. This greatly confuses the characters and both Bugs and Daffy wonder aloud what could have been the source of the noise.

The episode ends with Halen Star-Dar's rendition of the Merrie Melodies ending theme "That's All Folks", though the episode ends before he can finish.

## Notes

* A random Pbandjist citizen can be heard talking quietly in the background near the beginning of this episode, this is likely the same lady seen in the background of Killer Zingo Trailer.
