!!"The Scarecrow" provides examples of:
* AccidentalMarriage: Sybil runs across Buster as he's getting up from tying a shoe, putting him in the classic one-knee marriage proposal pose. Cue intertitle: "This is so sudden." Luckily, he wants to marry her.
* AmplifiedAnimalAptitude: Did that dog just climb a ladder? And descend a ladder, headfirst?
* AmusingInjuries
* AsideGlance
** Buster's double-handed farewell kiss to the audience before falling backward off a wall.
** Sybil, after getting kissed by the "scarecrow."
* BestialityIsDepraved: Invoked by the intertitle, "He's running away to get married with your horse."

* ChaseScene
* ClothingDamage: Going through a thresher [[{{Fanservice}} leaves Buster in his undershirt, boxers, and shoes]].
* ConveyorBeltODoom: Buster is accidentally fed into a thresher.
* CueTheSun: Parodied. An inter-title reading "Slowly and majestically the sun steals gradually over the hill-tops" is followed by the sun shooting straight up from the horizon and then hanging in place.
* DoubleTake: Buster stares at the preacher, then glances up as if wondering whether the man fell from the sky.

* SynchronizedMorningRoutine
* TrapDoor
* WalkOnWater: Subverted. In order to ford a river without soaking his shoes, Buster crosses it by ''walking on his hands'' ... only to fall over just before reaching the far side. Moments later, the pursuing rival finds the one deep spot and falls in over his head.
* WithThisRing: Buster gives her a lug nut.
