- Awesome Music: "Minnie the Moocher", as dark and gritty as it is, is really catchy. It's so catchy, in fact, that in the sequel cartoon The Old Man of the Mountain, a few quotations are taken from it at the start and the end to remind you who Cab Calloway is and what He Also Did.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: The titular song contains a line about Minnie meeting the king of Sweden. The character singing the song is a walrus. Robbaz, a Swedish YouTuber who started his channel in 2006, jokingly calls himself "king of Sweden" and associates himself with walruses.
- Nightmare Fuel: Betty and Bimbo cower in fear before a bizarre walrus/ghost/man hybrid. He dances an eerily realistic dance via the magic of Rotoscoping and sings a song about a girl running away from home and having her life ruined by drugs and bad relationships.note Meanwhile, the audience is treated to a whole series of creepy and surreal images, such as men being electrocuted in electric chairs and ghost-kittens with empty eye sockets nursing at their mother, making it look like they're sucking her dry. Betty and Bimbo eventually escape and return home, but no explanation or resolution is given for anything they just saw. You know, just your average children's musical cartoon!
