** Granny's younger look during the flashback has a startling resemblance to WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}. On the other hand, this might also be a reference to the climax of "Broom-Stick Bunny", wherein Witch Hazel became a caricature of what Creator/JuneForay looked like at the time of that short.

* ActionGirl: Granny as a spy in WWII.
* AlternateHistory: According to Granny, she took part in World War II shortly before the Allies freed France from Germany. Her mission ended up fighting to prevent the theft of the Eiffel Tower. After returning it, she was gifted it to take home while a replica was quickly placed in Paris.
* BadBoss: Colonel Frankenheimer. He [[GloveSlap slaps his men]] for [[LaughWithMe laughing with him]], and when one of them [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy misses]] Granny and Tweety with his machine gun, he ''[[ThrownFromTheZeppelin throws]] the guy out to [[YouHaveFailedMe his death]]''.
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Bugs puts on a tuxedo for the bachelor auction, but without shoes.
* BehindTheBlack: Apparently, Daffy didn't notice that Granny had the ''real'' Eiffel Tower behind her house.
* CameraSniper: Granny, in her flashback to her WWII days.
* ContinuityNod: When Daffy confuses "literacy" with "littering" and says how it should be a crime:
-->'''Bugs:''' It ''is'' a crime. Remember [[Recap/TheLooneyTunesShowS1E3JailbirdAndJailbunny you went to jail for it]]?
* DidNotThinkThisThrough: After winning a whole day-long date with Bugs, Lola decides to spend it in Paris. Problem is, it takes 10 hours for the flights between the US and France, meaning that she only has 4 hours with Bugs.
* DidYouDie: Daffy asks this during Granny's story about her WWII spy days. ''[[RunningGag Three times]]''.
--> '''Granny:''' [[LampshadeHanging You're not very bright, are you?]]
* DisneyVillainDeath: Subverted. The final fight of Granny's WWII flashback takes place on top of a blimp and Frankenheimer does fall, but Tweety tied a rope around his leg and saved him. Though the same can probably not be said for the {{Mook}} he threw out of the blimp earlier...
* DoubleTake: After his date with Lola in Paris, Bugs takes a picture of them in front of the Eiffel Tower on the fridge, only to be flabbergasted upon seeing a picture of Daffy on the same day in front of the ''real'' Eiffel Tower at Granny's house.
* FallingInLoveMontage: Bugs and Lola have one in Paris.
* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: Averted in a step away from the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' legacy of using AshFace; when Granny reminisces about being a spy in Nazi-occupied France, the German soldiers are shooting ''real'' [=MP40=]s at her and are ''really'' trying to kill her. [[ATeamFiring Not that they even come close to succeeding.]]
* FirstKiss: Bugs and Lola get one to end their FallingInLoveMontage.
* {{Flashback}}: Half of the episode focuses on Granny telling Daffy about her WWII days.
* FunWithAcronyms: Granny served in the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps, or the WAAC.
--> '''Daffy:''' I hate to tell you, lady, but you're still a WAAC.
* GloveSlap: Frankenheimer does this to two of his {{Mooks}}.
* IWasQuiteALooker: Granny in her WWII spy years.
* ImYourWorstNightmare: When Tweety ties a rope around Frankenheimer's leg:
--> '''Frankenheimer:''' And who are you?\\
'''Tweety:''' Your worst nightmare!
* KickChick: Granny, in her younger days.
* MomentKiller: Once Bugs gets Lola to stop talking, they get to share a romantic montage together, but then Lola ruins the mood by talking again.
* MonumentalTheft: Frankenheimer attempts to steal the Eiffel Tower by hooking it to a Zeppelin and flying it to Germany.
* NoSwastikas: The German soldiers seen in Granny's flashbacks to World War II use generic black cross symbols on their flags... [[ShownTheirWork which Nazis did sometimes use as symbols in real life, as well as swastikas]].
* OlderThanTheyLook: Tweety, who hasn't physically aged since WWII and refuses to tell Sylvester how old he really is.
* RetiredBadass: ''Granny'' of all people. She was an ActionGirl spy during WWII.
* TheReveal: Turns out after Granny returned the Eiffel Tower during the war, she was given the ''real'' one to take home, with a replica remaining in France.
* ShoutOut:
** Granny's younger look during the flashback has a startling resemblance to WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}.
** When Lola mistakes the Eiffel Tower for Stonehenge, she utters out the familiar line from the end of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwh0S1K5hx0 Iconic Tootsie Pop commercial]].
--->'''Bugs:''' It's the Eiffel Tower.
--->'''Lola:''' The world will never know.
* StockScream: In the WWII flashback, Frankenheimer pushes a subordinate out of a blimp, who subsequently lets out a Wilhelm scream.
* ThoseWackyNazis: Appears in Granny's WWII flashback. However, they're played far less sterotypically than one might expect. Granny also never refers to them as Nazis, just Germans, plus the closest to Nazi symbolism shown is an Iron Cross.
* TheUnreveal: Tweety refuses to tell Sylvester his real age, but does whisper to the latter about being either a boy or a girl, which is not revealed to the audience.
--->'''Sylvester:''' Huh, I was wrong.
