Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Day at the Zoo is a 1939 Merrie Melodies cartoon, directed by Tex Avery.The short (like most of Tex Avery's theatrical cartoon work both on WB and when we worked at MGM) is a series of visual and verbal gags, usually based on outrageous stereotypes, corny yet clever wordplay, and topical references. It's presented as a narrator (Gil Warren) describes a "tour" of the "Kalama Zoo" where the animals have nonsensical names, display anthropomorphic behavior, or illustrate punny gags. The only thing remotely related to a narrative is the running gag of Egghead (the prototype Elmer character) teasing a lion and paying for it in the end.

Bullying a Dragon: Egghead believes that taunting a hungry lion is a good idea, no matter how many times the narrator warns him off.

I Warned You: The narrator repeatedly tells Egghead to stop bothering that lion or he'll really suffer for it. Suffice to say, Egghead should've listened.
