* CreatorCameo: Avery had a distinctive deep belly laugh that was used in several of his cartoons for both WB and MGM ("WesternAnimation/HamateurNight" is a WB example, "WesternAnimation/"BadLuckBlackie" an MGM one). He also provided some [[ItMakesSenseInContext bottled "ouch" noises]] for 1955's "Deputy Droopy" which are reportedly close to his regular speaking voice.

Tex also had a short post-MGM stint in advertising, including the original "screaming bug" Raid bug spray ads ([[https://vimeo.com/293621750 "RAAAAID?!!"]]) and, [[ValuesDissonance perhaps less happily,]] the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfPJkn4eKeY "Frito Bandito"]] mascot[[note]]voiced by Creator/MelBlanc using his WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales voice[[/note]] for Frito-Lay, which was eventually discontinued due to protest from the National Mexican-American Anti-Defamation Committee among others.

* WesternAnimation/HollywoodStepsOut PublicDomain.Long believed to be PublicDomain, the cartoon's copyright was recently discovered to have been renewed in 1969 [[https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Catalog_of_Copyright_Entries_3D_Series_Vol_23_Pts_12-13_(IA_catalogofc19693231213libr).pdf&page=56]].

below. Ironically given the nature of how he left WB to eventually settle at MGM, his shorts for the latter studio are now owned by the former via [[UsefulNotes/TedTurner Turner Entertainment]] as part of the pre-May 1986 MGM catalog (Turner is also the official copyright holder for Avery's color WB shorts still under copyright, since they were among what WB sold to Associated Artists Productions in 1956, to end up with Creator/UnitedArtists then MGM prior to 1986).

->'''Bart Simpson:''' You invented Itchy? The ''Itchy & Scratchy'' Itchy?\\
'''[[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Chester Lampwick]]:''' Sure. In fact, I invented the whole concept of cartoon violence. Before I came along, all cartoon animals did was play the ukulele. I changed all that.

* BornInTheTheatre: Definitely a favorite of Tex's, from characters running off the film they're printed on, to yelling at members of the movie theater audience, to pulling stray hairs out of the theater projectors, to passing the boundary of the Toon universe where Technicolor ends.\\
\\
Tex virtually created this trope and changed cartoon comedy period in the scene of ''Porky's Duck Hunt'' where Daffy throws Porky's dog onto the ground (when it was supposed to be the dog fetching Daffy), after which Porky takes out a notepad and stammers "Hey! '''''That''''' wasn't in the script!"

Finally, despite the name, he had no involvement in ''WesternAnimation/TheWackyWorldOfTexAvery'', and was in fact long dead when that show was made. The show was produced as a "tribute" to the man himself, and ''was'' endorsed by his daughter Nancy Avery but...well, see that show's trope page for more.
