Attack! Attack... Retreat! Retreat!: Having chased Bugs into the darkened cereal factory, Rocky orders Mugsy to turn on the lights to see where they are. Mugsy obliges — only for Rocky to discover Bugs aiming a gun at him. Rocky yells for Mugsy to turn the lights off again, which he does, but not before Rocky gets shot by Bugs. | |

Working on the Chain Gang: In the end, Bugs succeeds in bringing Rocky and Mugsy to justice, handcuffing the two in each arm. They are sentenced to twenty years of hard labor on the rock pile. Alas, Bugs is to spend the entirety of that sentence with the two crooks, as he had lost the keys to the cuffs. | |

Meaningful Name: Parodied. The nicknames of the gangsters at Rocky's party are taken literally; "Baby-face" Half Nelson has a baby's face, "Pistol-nose" Pringle has a gun barrel for a nose, and so on. | |

Half the Man He Used to Be: During the opening sequence, a man in a phonebooth is desperately calling for the police when machine gun bullets rip the booth in two. The bottom half falls off... leaving only the top of the man hanging in midair. To top it off, the telephone operator says the line has been disconnected. | |

Bowdlerization | |
| The Unmentionables / int_a49914aa | comment |
Bowdlerization: This cartoon was edited on two separate occasions: On the syndicated Merrie Melodies Show, the two scenes of Rocky getting shot by Bugs, once by his carrot gun and the other in the darkness of the cereal factory, were cut. On the WB! network, the scene of a man running into the phone booth to call the operator to get in contact with the police was edited to remove him and the booth being shot in half by offscreen gunfire. Only the first part, with the man going into the booth to call the police, was shown. | |

Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: The opening narration describes the Roaring '20s as "the Jazz Age, with the sound of strumming banjos and wailing saxes, the era of short fobs and long beads, big bands and tiny dance floors, and... violence." Cue two cars, both full of gangsters, as they fire machine guns at one another. | |

Accidental Murder: Bugs having kicked Rocky so hard up under his hat that he drops his guns and can't see anything, he feels around for his guns and finds them, firing blindly. Rocky realizes he has been set up and sics the other gangsters on Bugs, only to discover that in blindly firing his guns everywhere, Rocky had gunned down the other gangsters by mistake. | |
