* WiltingOdor: Fifi's skunk scent has always been shown to smell unbelievably foul, but apparently so abhorrent that with enough time it can actually melt a steel cage.

* MadEye: Calamity being trapped in a cage with Fifi's unbearable scent for so long shows a close up of his eyes with one of them having a swirl in them and both of his sclera have turned green.

* SkewedPriorities: It takes a while for Calamity to realize that washing off the tar and feathers that makes him look like a skunk and attracting Fifi to him is currently more important then trying to catch Little Beeper.

* WidelySpacedJailBars: For all Calamity's efforts to trap Little Beeper in the cage, Little Beeper shows that he can easily slip through the bars by zooming inside for a quick taunt of Calamity's entrapment with Fifi.

* MythologyGag: When she chases Little Beeper, Fifi hops on her four limbs accompanied with a whimsical sound effect, exactly like her predecessor/teacher WesternAnimation/PepeLePew did when he's chasing his target. This is actually the only time Fifi ever used the Pepe-style hop, she didn't do it in ''[[Recap/TinyToonAdventuresS1E13FurrballFollies Aroma Amore]]''.

* ADayInTheLimelight: For Fifi, Calamity, and Little Beeper.
* OffModel: While he is covered in tar, Calamity's nose constantly changes between being black and its normal red.

* SmellySkunk: Fifi.
* StickySituation: When Calamity gets stuck in tar, he is unable to escape from it at first and ends up getting caught by Fifi.
* TarAndFeathers: Calamity's plan to catch Little Beeper involves covering him with these. Calamity ends up becoming a victim of his own trap, but manages to remove the tar and feathers near the end of the short. Beeper himself eventually becomes tarred and feathered near the end of the short, though not as how Calamity planned.

''Dream Date Game:''

* BrickJoke: Elmyra asks Hamton, "If I were ice cream and you were a dessert topping, what's the capital of South Dakota?". In a later scene, when Elmyra asks Plucky, "We're at an expensive restaurant, and you find that you've forgotten your wallet. Who was the twelfth President of the United States?", Plucky answers, "Pierre, South Dakota!"
* CallBack:
** During the commercial break, the commercial for Weenie Burgers previously seen in the "[[Recap/TinyToonAdventuresS1E3TheWheelOComedy The Wheel O' Comedy]]'' episode segment, "Win, Lose, or, Ker-Plowie!" is shown.
** When Montana Max is introduced, Buster describes him as someone who'd rather have a [[{{Lobotomy}} lobotomy]] than go out with a girl, which is exactly what Monty said to Elmyra in "[[Recap/TinyToonAdventuresS1E17PromIseHerAnything Prom-ise Her Anything]]".
* ExtremeOmnivore: After the commercial break, Hamton is shown to be eating a tire covered in whipped cream.
-->'''Hamton:''' I'll eat anything, except pork.
* StockFootage: This episode features reused animation from the Weenie Burgers commercial previously seen in the "The Wheel O' Comedy" episode segment, "Win, Lose, or Ker-Plowie!". This is particularly noticable because "The Wheel O' Comedy" was animated by Creator/TMSEntertainment, while the rest of this episode was animated by Creator/WangFilmProductions.
* SureLetsGoWithThat: Throughout the short, Buster tries to set Elmyra up with Plucky, Hamton, or Monty, but Elmyra is only interested in Buster, because he's a rabbit. When Elmyra asks if the other dates are rabbits, Buster tells her they are, and Babs dresses Monty in a rabbit costume.
* XRaySparks: Happens to Monty when he tries to climb over the electric fence in Elmyra's front yard.
