I never knew they made a Tinytoons cartoon like this. Apparently it was banned. Have any of you seen this before? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYMYv1zsAxE

Light weights.
During a Spielberg presented cartoon phase last September, I tried to reenact this episode outside the freshmen dorms with my friends. Everyone that walked by just thought we were wasted in an alley.
They couldn't appreciate it, or our rendition of Foamy the Freakadog. :(

Some have called this short preachy, while others have called it a satire of the anti-drug movement. In retrospect, I don't know what to think. Preachy episodes were the main flaw of "Tiny Toon Adventures", but maybe the creators just decided to have a little dark-humored fun.
How could it banned? It jut showed "The dangers of alcohol"...and why did they go all the way to the park just to drink it?

Whenever most "kid shows" want to deal with a serious subject matter like the "dangers of alcohol" it can be exteremely hard to pull off. My guess is that some parents were upset that, despite that anti-drinking warning, Buster Bunny did seem to REALLY want that beer at the beganning of the cartoon. The threesome of Buster, Plucky and Hamton did drink the beer under their own free will, even though they were having second thoughts that it could be a bad idea. Again this is just a guess.
Maybe some people felt it did more to make drinking seem cool than it did to make it seem "uncool." Like it was just "too silly" and "too fun" to be an "anti-drinking" cartoon. Once more I'm stating guesses here.
I thought it was pretty neat actually and no I don't remember every seeing it on TV. That's a pretty neat find. If Warner Bros should release more Tiny Toon sets, which seems fairly doubtful at this point, hopefully this will be included sometime down the road.

I saw this episode awhile back. Not only do they get drunk as soon as they take one sip, but that bottle seems to be bottomless. It just never runs out.

I'm from the UK and I remember seeing this one. Was it banned there as well or was it just Americia it was banned from?

I was thinking the same thing, :lol: .
I love how not only are they drunk, they're also turn into TOTAL BUMS, complete with five "O" clock shadow and missing teeth, all before they finish their first (what seems to bottomless) beer.

Not to mention, super potent alcohol in said beer. Did they steal it from Halls of Valhalla or something?

I think since they're really young and small they got drunk off their first sip.

Dude, no matter how young or small you are, you CAN'T get drunk from the very first sip of beer. Even a tiny one year old baby can take one sip of beer and I promise you that baby will be just fine (I'm not saying give a baby a beer, I'm just saying that if a little one year old baby were to sneak a sip of beer, that baby won't get drunk.) Trust me I know, I grew up in a family that would sometimes just for laughs and kicks, my parents or grandparents would let us kids have a sip here and there of their beer (not saying they let us get shitfaced, nothing like that, they NEVER let us take a lot to drink, never enough to get drunk). In fact that could be part of the reason why I don't drink now that I'm an adult. One baby story when I was really young is my grandfather on my mother's side let me drink some of his beer, which I believe was Bush beer, and I burp really loud. That said burp must of hurt me cause according to my mother I start crying right away. Again, if anything these people in my family helped make it so I have no interest in drinking today, cause I haven't taken a sip since high school, which during that time was the only time I was ever really hammered, I'm 25 now.
Well.....the ending showed they really didn't get drunk, but knowing how parents are this doesn't surprise me.
