* [[Attention Whore]]: The reason Daffy wants to get rid of Porky.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: This short includes one of the rare moments where Porky Pig gets angry, and gives Daffy a [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]].
* [[Conspicuously Light Patch]]: The live-action Stage 7 door becomes a hand-drawn cartoon door when Porky opens it during his escape from the guard. The flurry of papers Porky pulls out of the wastebin at the end also count, including his contract itself (which is a live-action contract otherwise).
* [["I Want" Song]]: Daffy gets one in which he begs Schlesinger to give him a larger role.
* [[Morally -Ambiguous Ducktorate]]: Daffy arguably crosses his very first [[Moral Event Horizon]]. Up until this cartoon, he'd merely been Porky's crazy costar, but here he's revealed to have an [[Attention Whore|insatiable greed for the spotlight]] which leads him to lie and scheme to get a bigger role. This tendency would later become a major aspect of his character.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: At one point, Porky pretends to be [[Laurel and Hardy|Oliver Hardy]].
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: Friz allegedly based the events of the short off of a real life event where he briefly left the Warner Bros. cartoon studio to get a job at MGM. He did not like it there ''at all'', however. As soon as his contract expired, he went right back to Leon's studio, using this real life event as the basic for this cartoon.
