(Trivia)
Line 36:
* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: Read the lyrics to [http://froggyeve.tripod.com/comeover.html "Won't You Come Over To My House."] Cheerful little tune, isn't it?
* [[Not-So-Imaginary Friend]]
* [[Oireland]]: Michigan mocks the popularity of mawkish Irish songs at the turn of the century by singing "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS5QXouYQTs Come Back to Erin]."
* [[Mime-and-Music-Only Cartoon]]
* [[Oireland]]: Michigan mocks the popularity of mawkish Irish songs at the turn of the century by singing "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS5QXouYQTs Come Back to Erin]."
* [[Popular History]]: Several of the songs performed by Michigan J. Frog (including "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOo-zKk0x4Q Hello, My Baby]") date later than 1892.
** This gets more bizarre in ''Another Froggy Evening'', in which he knows these songs ''in the Stone Age''.
Line 49:
* [[Space Whale Aesop]]: Don't be greedy and try to take advantage of someone else for your own gain or your life will go downhill as a result--or in this case, don't take advantage of a singing frog to get rich or your life will be ruined.
** Or at the least learn from your first few mistakes and quit while you're ahead.
* [[Technology Marches On]]: A younger viewer might wonder why the man doesn't just rent a camera and film the frog. 1950s movie cameras were expensive, needed a lot of supplemental lighting, and only gave good results in the hands of a skilled operator. And sound had to be recorded separately. Even if this was made later when cameras were more common and less expensive, it's possible the frog would not perform in front of filming devices anyway, knowing he's only out to profit.
* [[Time Capsule]]: The frog's box.
* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]: The last scene
