Line 197:
* [[Broken Aesop]]: "Be Human" has been criticized for its ending, in which the farmer who has been whipping his animals gets whipped himself by Grampy's machine. So beating someone up is okay as long as you're on the good side.
* [[Car Fu]]: Used by Grampy to catch the abusive farmer in "Be Human".

* [[Catch Phrase]]:
Line 229:
* [[Pie-Eyed]]: Most of the character designs.
* [[Public Domain Animation]]: Several of her cartoons have slipped into the the [[Public Domain]], so it's not uncommon to see some of her old cartoons compiled onto Dollar Store DVD sets.
* [[Roger Rabbit Effect]]: Occured in a few of her shorts, such as ''Ha!Ha!Ha!''. Also, Betty made an appearance in ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'', the [[Trope Namer]] itself, almost 50 years later — voiced by the same actress!
* [[Rotoscoping]]: [[Cab Calloway]]'s dance moves were rotoscoped for his appearances in the cartoons, most famously as a dancing walrus. Calloway loved it and was said to have fallen out of his seat in convulsive laughter upon first viewing his animated ''Odobenus rosmarus'' counterpart.
** Calloway loved the cartoons that featured his songs ("Snow White", "[[Minnie the Moocher]]" and "The Old Man of the Mountain") for another reason as well; he had stated that his concerts enjoyed higher ticket sales in cities where the Betty Boop cartoons played before. Betty Boop became his "advance woman", introducing movie audiences to his musical style.
