- Aluminum Christmas Trees: Bugs is first seen eating a carrot in a hot dog bun. While this is just a throwaway gag playing on Bugs's love of carrots and hot dogs' role as traditional ballpark fare, in recent years carrot hot dogs have indeed become a real thing that people eat (they're particularly popular with vegetarians as an alternative to meat hot dogs).
- Alternative Character Interpretation: The umpire looks the other way with Bugs' antics, even giving him the win when he throws his glove to catch a ball. Given how much abuse the Gorillas subjected him to, it's not illogical to assume he's doing it to get revenge against them.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: The screaming baseball seen at the beginning of the shorts looks similar to the "Let's Fucking Go"
meme. - Memetic Mutation: This frame of Bugs Bunny◊ as he complains about the unfair game early on in the short; often used to express angry disbelief over something.
- Spiritual Successor: "Gone Batty" (1954) follows a similar story as this one, where a cute animal athlete tries to pull off a miracle rally against a team of husky bullies similar to the Gas House Gorillas.
