Visual Pun: A giraffe who drinks Jippo has an apple tied to a string slide up his neck and come out of his mouth. Apparently, this is his Adam's Apple.

Placebo Effect: Since Jippo is shown just to be water from a hydrant, either the crazy effects on the townsfolk fall under this or there's something seriously wrong with the water.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: If you pay attention while Betty and Koko are exchanging Jippo for money and handing the money to Bimbo, instead of going into his pockets, Bimbo keeps dropping the money back into the crowd.

comment
Everything Talks: Not surprising since this is a Betty Boop cartoon. A bottle of Jippo catches a cork using it's peeled off label like an arm to re-cork itself. A fire hydrant grows an arm to wipe off some excess water where the hose is connected. After an old man creates an Instant Gravestone, the grave and flower on it scat to the song being sung. Also see Living Currency.

Instant Gravestone: An old man drinks Jippo and throws off his wheelchair to dance on his bandaged feet, only to create a grave by draping the asphalt from the ground like a blanket over himself to resemble a plot of land and a tombstone just grows behind him. His arm comes out to place a flower on his own grave.
