A Betty Boop cartoon created by Max and Dave Fleischer that originally aired on August 19, 1932.
Betty Boop is working in a food wagon as the owner and cook during a busy lunch rush.
Tropes Used In This Short:
- Added Alliterative Appeal: The title is "Betty Boop's Bizzy Bee."
- Bar Slide: The food Betty serves slides down the bar repeatedly. At one point sliding plates of pancakes grow limbs to prevent themselves from sliding off the edge of the bar.
- Big Eater: A hippo customer continually consumes stack after stack of pancakes, though he regrets it later.
- Cardiovascular Love: A heart flies from Betty and Bimbo chases it with a butterfly net; it makes it's way back to Betty and she inserts it into the neckline of her Little Black Dress.
- Department of Redundancy Department: Betty's menu has nothing but "WHEAT CAKES....ยข10" over and over again with the daily special being the same.Bimbo: Got any wheat cakes?Betty: No, but we have some nice wheat cakes.Bimbo: Aw, then just give me some wheat cakes.
- Electric Joybuzzer: A dogman does this to another dogman.
- Everything Talks: Pancakes, plates, the stove, the lunch wagon itself, the moon. Perfectly normal for a Betty Boop cartoon.
- Extreme Omnivore: A giraffe eats the hanging sign outside the Lunch Wagon; it did say "EAT".
- When one customer can't get his hands on any of the pancakes flying passed his head, he instead settles on eating one of the diner's hanging lamps in-between pair of plates as if it was a sandwich.
- Greasy Spoon: The Lunch Wagon fits the bill.
- Lethal Chef: Despite everyone enjoying Betty's wheat cakes, everyone who ate them ends up with massive stomach pains.
- Let's Meet the Meat: The pancakes Betty serves come to life multiple times.
- The Man in the Moon: The moon comes to life and eats some of Betty's pancakes, but ends up getting a stomach ache, is whisked away on a stretcher by some stars and is replaced with a lantern.
- Sentient Stars: The stars come alive in order to whisk away the moon on a stretcher, though unlike the moon, they didn't have faces.
- A Side Order of Romance: Betty Boop and Bimbo have a quick flirting scene, though she is both the server and the cook.
- Super Window Jump: All of Betty's customers start leaping out of the diner's window one after another after Betty's pancakes give everyone stomach pains.
- Victoria's Secret Compartment: Betty re-inserts a heart that flew out of the bustline of her Little Black Dress.
- Betty also pulls out a handkerchief out of her neckline in order to move a fire to warm Koko's soup. Koko's eyes are fixed on Betty while she does this and reacts with a pleased, "Oh my".
- Visual Pun: One customer who Betty's pancakes didn't agree with has his torso morph into a knot, meaning that his stomach is literally in knots.
