- "Real Kids Don't Eat Broccoli" - in ACME Acres, in the Year 2038, Buster is a futuristic detective on the case of Locating missing droids hired by MIss Bunny (Babs Bunny).
- "Boo Ha Ha" - Hamton and Plucky go to a country inn, or a mansion. They see ghosts everywhere. The manager of the hotel takes Hamton and Plucky to the presidential suite, and they are lucky. They get ready for bed, and they open the bathroom door and it happens to be similar to Hades. Hamton now realizes that it is just a regular bathroom. He brushes his teeth with toothpaste and it starts resembling a ghost. He washes his mouth out with Blisterine (a parody of Listerine).

They are sent to the ghost manager's house, where it resembles Hades.

Trivia
- In the episode segment, Real Kids Don't Eat Broccoli, the masks of the droids are based on the Tiny Toon character they are played as.
- The episode segment, Boo Ha Ha, was originally an unfinished episode, Hi, Spirits, created by John Kricfalusi, the creator of The Ren & Stimpy Show, and several other Ren & Stimpy staff members, while they were waiting for Nickelodeon to greenlight Ren & Stimpy. After working on the storyboards and voice recording (with Don Messick as The Ghost), Stephen Spielberg took over and made Boo Ha Ha. Hi, Spirits would later become the Ren & Stimpy episode, Haunted House, with Ren and Stimpy in the roles of Hamton and Gogo.
- The episode segment, Boo Hoo Hoo is a remake of Scaredy Cat, Claws For Alarms and Transylvania 6-5000.
- The episode segment, Duck Dodgers Jr. is a remake of Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 Century.
- The episode segment, Duck Dodgers Jr. marks the first (and only) appearance of Marcia the Martian.
- The animator seen at the end of Duck Dodgers Jr. is a caricature of writer and director Kent Butterworth.
- Duck Dodgers, Jr. was co-written and designed by Maurice Noble, who also helped design the original Duck Dodgers cartoon.
