Gag Nose: The Black Widow spider has a ridiculously large nose. It ends up foiling her Veronica Lake disguise when it pops out from her hair.

Hong Kong Dub: While the piano player in the opening and ending is played by actor Leo White, Mel Blanc dubs over his dialogue, and its pretty easy to tell due to the lip sync being off.

What Does She See in Him?: At the end of the short, the piano player questions what the Bee even sees in the Moth. The Moth responds by eating his pants.

Abhorrent Admirer: The Black Widow Spider is in love the Moth, but the Moth has two very good reasons not to reciprocate her advances. One, he's already engaged with the Bee, and two, the Black Widow Spider is ugly as hell.

Shout-Out
 Eatin' on the Cuff / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: A caricature (without his face seen) of Eddie "Rochester" Anderson is seen early on. The Black Widow references the "Look, a man!" catchphrase of Cobina from The Bob Hope Show. She also disguises herself as Veronica Lake at one point. After she's defeated by the bee, she says "Confidentially, she stings!", a pun on a famous line "Confidentially, it stinks!" line from Frank Capra's You Can't Take It With You.
