Too Gruesome for Cartoon Physics | |
| A Bear for Punishment / int_15492124 | comment |
Too Gruesome for Cartoon Physics: Junior Bear chases Henry Bear with a shredded (by accident) straight razor (for "a good-ol' shave for good ol' Pa, on good-ol' Father's Day") throughout the house-cave, resulting in a rather messy collision in one of the rooms, if the sound of crashing appliances is anything to go by. Junior Bear peeks out of the door saying that "...Pa won't talk to me. I nudged him, and I nudged him, but he's awfully still", and Mama Bear covers the cake she had been making for Henry with a white sheet. This is subverted, however, when Pa reaches out of the door with a tattered sleeve, pulls Junior in, and gives him a thorough beating. | |

Please Wake Up | |
| A Bear for Punishment / int_53e1ce4e | comment |
Please Wake Up: After Junyer’s attempt to shave Pa ends with them crashing in a closet, Junyer comes out and says, "Ma, Pa won't talk to me. I nudged him, and I nudged him, but he's awfully still." Ma draws a cloth over the cake she was decorating. Subverted when Pa's scratched-up hand grabs Junyer as we hear the sound of offscreen violence. A black-eyed Junyer happily reports that Pa's okay! | |

Bowdlerization | |
| A Bear for Punishment / int_a49914aa | comment |
Bowdlerization: The ABC Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show version cuts the "Let's Give a Cheer for Father" song to remove the part where Junyer and Mama Bear fire off shotguns. The Nickelodeon version (seen in Looney Tunes on Nick) left in the gun part, and made two edits of their own: Papa Bear slamming an alarm clock in Junyer's face after Junyer shushes the clocks and they stop. Junyer misspelling a can of "gunpowder" as "tobacco" and congratulating himself on being a good speller. | |

Split Hair | |
| A Bear for Punishment / int_b039b1d7 | comment |
Split Hair: Inverted. When Junyer tests the razor, the hair breaks the blade (or rather, the blade is broken when Junyer slams the blade down through a chair arm). | |

Cringe Comedy | |
| A Bear for Punishment / int_c5ef2d50 | comment |
Cringe Comedy: With the "cringing" coming not just from the audience but from Pa himself. Ma and Junyer's well-meaning attempts at pleasing him become increasingly overbearing, culminating in them putting on a ridiculously sappy Father's Day pageant, which just leaves Pa in a state of constant shock and embarrassment rather than flattery. | |

Breakfast in Bed: Junyer Bear prepared a breakfast in bed for Papa Bear (Henry) for Father's Day. Junyer Bear slips on a roller skate while carrying the breakfast tray, which sends the meal flying into the air and falling on top of Papa Bear. | |

Pet the Dog: When Henry angrily yelled at his wife asking what she wants, Ma calmly pulled out a little present and said today is Father’s Day. Henry Metaphoric Metamorphosis into a “first-class heel” showing that he actually did feel bad for yelling at her. | |
