Pun: A hallmark of Pete Smith shorts. As one of the Codonas misses the man that's supposed to catch him and falls into the net, Smith cracks "He's been falling for that trick for eight years." | |

Medium Awareness: At the end of the practice session Pete Smith says "Now let's draw the curtain on the practice," and a black "curtain" falls, before rising to show the Codonas performing their act. As Alfredo Codona gets ready for his famous triple somersault stunt, Smith says "Quiet please, no music." The musical score then stops, and doesn't start again until after Codona completes his leap. | |
