History WesternAnimation / Out-Foxed

* BrickJoke: [[LiteralMetaphor This one involves actual bricks]]. Reginald Fox sees four dogs approaching and tosses four bricks into the air. As each dog closes in, each gets hit by a falling brick, Reginald counts them, but before he gets to four, the last dog bags the fox and rushes to the kennel to deliver him to the Kennel Master. But just as he's about to knock on the door, the last brick nails him and knocks him out, with Reginald counts "Four" before he escapes.

* AsideComment: Both Droopy and Reginald do this; this ''is'' a Tex Avery cartoon after all.

* BriefAccentImitation: Reginald Fox does this when Droopy asks for permission to capture him, replying with "Are you kiddin'?" in an American accent.

* CranialEruption: A dog mistakes another dog for the fox and whacks him on the head with a shovel, resulting in this. Simply pushing it down makes it go away, but it doesn't make him any less angry about it.

* DinnerDeformation: After Reginald gives Droopy a bone with a stick of dynamite inside it, the other dogs gang up on him and one eats it. Droopy asks which of them took his bone; one by one, the dogs shake their heads no... including one who clearly has a bone-shaped lump on his muzzle, just a second before the dynamite blows up and obliterates it.

* FoodAsBribe: The moment Droopy tearfully says that he would not get a big juicy steak as a reward for bringing in a fox, Reginald Fox immediately changes his mind and calls the other foxes to turn themselves in so that they can get the steak. As a result, Droopy and the foxes have a great feast.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Reginald calls in members of his family to receive free steaks and they all look ''exactly'' alike, right down to their monocles!

* PolitenessJudo: Unsuccessfully invoked twice by Droopy. The first time, Reginald tricks Droopy into bringing one of the hunting dogs that tried to capture him. The second time, Reginald flatly tells him no and closes the door on him. When Droopy bursts into tear, and as he's weeping, mentions a juicy steak for each fox brought in, Reginald ''immediately'' changes his tune, and not only offers to turn himself in, but also calls the other foxes to do the same. As a result, Droopy and all the foxes get the steak.
