One Beer: A Lookback

General
Now I know that Hallowe'en has been and gone, but I've been watching the infamous "One Beer" episode from TTA. This short from the 1991 episode "Elephant Issues" is the sole reason why the episode was never aired on TV again...but you can watch it online, amidst several potty-mouthed redubs, so it doesn't matter.
For those of you who don't know about this segment, here is its fabula: Buster, Plucky and Hamton find a bottle of beer, get drunk, joyride in a police car, crash it and die...why was it banned again? :P.
Yeah, Babs, Shirley and Fifi may be the Amazing Three, but Buster, Plucky and Hamton are the Alcoholic Three. The short is supposed to warn children about the dangers of drinking neck oil, but the message was kind of botched. If drinking makes you belch to the beat of a hip-hop song, then down the hatch!
Now, what does getting bladdered have to do with Hallowe'en, you may ask? Well, the short seems rather...off. Why are the main trio of boys the ones who are drinking themselves silly and eventually kicking the bucket? Why not Montana Max?
If this short didn't have any humour, which it does because it's hilarious, you'd think it were a CreepyPasta...not the kind where every character's based off a dead person or a mental disorder with an abundance of blood and hyper realistic eyes, but the type where one of the writers got so fed up of working on the show, they deliberately wrote a demented storyline so they'd get fired.
If someone were to record just that one short on a knackered videotape and sell it on EBay as a "Lost Episode", I'm sure someone (who's probably never heard of the show) will find it and claim that Tiny Toons had an official CreepyPasta...but then, that's just silly.
