* YouDidntAsk: The end of "Another Froggy Ending" suggests that every time the frog croaked, he was actually asking if people wanted to hear him sing. Since no one gave him an answer (presumably because they don't speak frog and assumed he was just being nonchalant), he just sat there. Fortunately, one person is able to understand him and say "yes": [[spoiler:Marvin the Martian]].

* {{Bowdlerise}}: When this cartoon aired on ABC's ''The Bugs Bunny and Tweety'' show and any installment show on the former WB network, the part where the man paints a "Free Beer" sign to get people to come in and see the frog was edited to make it look like the crowd came in because he hung a "Free Admission" sign. Unlike most Looney Tunes gags that have been affected by censorship when aired on TV, this doesn't really alter it for better or worse, as both responses (coming in because of free beer and coming in because there's a free show) are believable. On the other hand, there ''is'' a bit of an obvious audio skip, meaning that something was cut.

* TheCameo: In ''Another Froggy Evening'', Chuck Jones himself appears among the Romans booing the act. Also present, Siskel and Ebert. In that same scene, when the lions and tigers are released, tuxedo kitten Pussyfoot is TheRuntAtTheEnd.

* MistakenForInsane: The man and the frog are alone in the park until a policeman overhears the frog singing and approaches them. The man points at the frog to wordlessly tell the cop that [[CassandraTruth it was the frog]], but the frog has already clammed up at this point. The cop then has the man committed to a psych ward.

Told entirely without dialogue (not including the singing). The frog would later be named Michigan J. Frog, after the only original song from the short, "The Michigan Rag", and become the mascot for [[Creator/TheWB the WB network]].

In 1995 Chuck Jones created a follow-up cartoon titled "Another Froggy Evening". It follows the frog throughout history meeting [[GenerationXerox strangely familiar men who attempt (and fail) to exploit it for money]].
