  • Awesome Music: The song of this short is going to be stuck in your head for weeks. The opening is also a snippet of the song "Get Happy", which is just as catchy in itself.
  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: When Foxy's horse drunkenly enters the bar, he looks into a mirror and sees his reflection turn into, in order, a moose, a cat-like creature, something resembling a lion (its head even rotates Exorcist-style), and finally a hippo-dragon thing. The horse screams... then walks across the bar like nothing happened...and then catches and fire and burns away to an ashen crisp shortly afterward.
  • Moe: Despite being a blatant ripoff of Mickey Mouse, Foxy is quite the Ridiculously Cute Critter that is just as adorable as Mickey Mouse himself. His Distaff Counterpart Roxy is just as adorable.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The extruding dentures of the gorilla remind one a bit of the Xenomorph; it's also rather creepy when the old man's beard starts dancing by itself. The worst, however, is the drunken horse.
  • Values Dissonance: In the 21st century, a lot of the incidental characters come across as pretty racist and invoke a whole raft of racial stereotypes (some of which might not even be immediately obvious to a modern viewer). In 1931, though, entirely too many of these stereotypes were presupposed and common.
