This is my ninth favorite episode of the show, this one is another Babs centered episode, it's sort of "Tiny Toons" doing "Alice in Wonderland". I always felt Babs Achilles heel was that she didn't always know when comedy hour is over, this finally bites her in the butt whether she feels it or not.
We of course see her class clowning around which is funny but it's also suspenseful as we see Elmer is coming back to the classroom. I was thinking, "c'mon Babs kill the act, save the rest for the comedy club tonight" which is where her comedy act should have been in the first place. Unfortunately, Babs presses her luck and of course we see her luck has just run out. We see the principal of Acme Loonavercity and it's really funny as he's "The Wizard of Oz" as well as Babs home life which is a really busy one and sort of gives some explanation as to why she craves attention.
Babs of course refuses to accept the fact she has a problem and instead of dealing with it decides to run away because she wants more freedom and feels she's unappreciated; which isn't true as everyone does appreciate her but she doesn't appreciate them or not enough.
We see Wackyland which a Salvador Dali painting is come to life. This is also a little homage to the two Porky Pig shorts of him and the Do Do, both of those are trippy. The place is trippy central where everything is non sensical and just about anything can happen. I really like how this a place where verbal and visual humor go together, from seeing rolling stones literally to even the recent Warner Bros logo chasing down and waking the old logo from the 70's. It's stuff you have to see to believe.
We also see Buster, Plucky, and Hampton coming to find her, it's funny once again how Plucky shows his inventive side as he's constructed a PKE Meter like device to track Babs down, despite the fact it really wasn't needed as they already know from the note where she's gone. Really like how they react to Wackyland which I feel is how any normal person would if they ever came for a visit. The place is so unpredictable and strange it could be dangerous; like when they come toward this scary looking tree that looks like the one from "Evil Dead 2" and "The Guardian", really like Hampton's reaction and what he says, yeah even I wouldn't go into that tree as it looks like it has death carved all over it.
Of course, her time in Wackyland soon gets to her, as she see one sight gag too many, much like being in a comedy festival too long gets tiresome fast. Let alone there really isn't anyone she can really connect with when you think about it; it is Wackyland after all not like there's an anamorphic populace around. She learns her lesson that self-control does go a long way, but that there is a time and place for everything, and of course does what is right.
Really like the ending which shows self-control is important, but a little non self-control doesn't hurt either.
