The Looney Tunes Show – Season 1, Episode 26: “Point, Laser Point” & “Table for One”
Episode 26 of The Looney Tunes Show Season 1 closes the season with a perfect mix of mischief, misunderstanding, and classic Looney Tunes humor. Featuring two distinct stories—“Point, Laser Point” and “Table for One”—this episode is packed with slapstick comedy, exaggerated personalities, and absurd situations that highlight just how chaotic life can be when you're friends with Daffy Duck.
This episode continues to prove that The Looney Tunes Show isn’t just a revival of classic characters, but a modern reimagining that blends sitcom-style storytelling with the ageless comedy fans love.
🔦 Part 1: “Point, Laser Point” – Daffy Gets Schooled
The episode kicks off with “Point, Laser Point,” where we see Daffy Duck once again setting himself up for failure—this time in an academic setting. After a run-in with Porky Pig, who is working hard toward self-improvement, Daffy feels the pressure to appear smarter and more accomplished.
🎓 Daffy’s (Misguided) Education Journey
Instead of actually learning something, Daffy enrolls in a class just so he can say he’s “going back to school.” His goal isn’t self-improvement—it’s bragging rights. True to form, he doesn’t read, study, or even attend properly. He’s more concerned with getting the “right look,” including purchasing an overpriced laser pointer, which he believes makes him appear more intelligent.
Cue the chaos: Daffy begins using his laser pointer not to teach or learn anything, but to chase the red dot around the classroom like a cat. Eventually, he causes a complete disruption, much to the annoyance of everyone else—including the instructor.
The laser pointer becomes a running gag throughout the segment, leading to a series of ridiculous misunderstandings, physical gags, and even a fire alarm incident. In Daffy’s world, school is just another stage for him to play out his delusions of grandeur.
📚 Message Underneath the Laughter
Beneath all the jokes, “Point, Laser Point” pokes fun at performative intelligence and how some people prioritize appearances over substance. Daffy’s desire to look smart—without actually being smart—is a hilarious reflection of his larger-than-life ego. Bugs Bunny, ever the calm observer, tries to warn him, but Daffy’s downfall (as always) is his inability to listen.
By the end, Daffy is banned from the classroom and leaves claiming that school is “too advanced for someone of his genius.” Classic Daffy logic!
🍽️ Part 2: “Table for One” – Daffy Dines... Alone?
The second half, “Table for One,” is a quieter but equally funny exploration of Daffy’s fear of social rejection and his need for constant attention.
🪑 The Setup
Daffy learns about an exclusive new restaurant in town, where reservations are booked months in advance. Eager to prove he’s important and desirable, he fights to get a table. However, when none of his friends can—or want to—join him, Daffy is forced to do the unthinkable: dine alone.
What follows is an increasingly absurd scenario where Daffy tries to make dining solo look glamorous, even though it’s clearly driving him insane. He sets up props, pretends to take calls, and even creates fake conversations to give the illusion of popularity. The restaurant staff watches in awkward silence as Daffy spirals into a one-duck show.
🍷 A Comedy of Insecurity
“Table for One” plays on a deeply relatable insecurity: the fear of being seen as unpopular or unloved. Daffy, who thrives on being the center of attention, can’t handle the idea that people might think he’s lonely—even if he kind of is.
The segment is full of clever visual comedy, especially when Daffy starts arguing with himself loudly, attracting the attention of the entire restaurant. There’s also a hilarious scene where he tries to split the bill... with himself.
Eventually, Bugs shows up to rescue Daffy from his embarrassment, but not without giving him a reality check. Bugs’ calm presence once again contrasts with Daffy’s meltdown, highlighting the strength of their comedic dynamic.

Daffy Duck: This episode is peak Daffy—dramatic, egotistical, but weirdly sympathetic. His need to impress others is both his funniest and most tragic trait.

Porky Pig: A minor but important role, especially in the first segment where he serves as Daffy’s unintentional motivator.
