Line 10:

{{tropelist}}
* [[An Aesop]]: Yes, there actually is one, but it's very vague -- [[Get- Rich- Quick SchemesScheme]]s never work.
* [[Anticlimax]]: In the beginning when it seems like the first monster that Porky encounters is about to attack him it turns out to be a very ''[[My Species Doth Protest Too Much|prissy]]'' monster and promptly walks off.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Porky Pig's confrontations with the Do-do are very one sided, thanks in part to that the Do-Do is an experienced [[Reality Warper]]. It's not until the end when he disguises himself as a newsboy (or, in "Dough for the Do-Do", a do-do himself) that he is actually able to catch him.
Line 18:
* [[Deranged Animation]]: Quite possibly the [[Trope Codifier]].
* [[Everythings Nuttier With Squirrels]]: The population of Wackyland according to a sign is "100 nuts and a Squirrel".
* [[Extra! Extra! Read All About It!]]: At the beginning.
* [[He Went That Way!]]: When Porky asks a goggily googly-eyed resident with a candle on his head where the DodoDo-Do is, he says this and his many arms point in different directions.
* [[It Runs On Nonsensoleum]]: Pretty much anything that exists within Wackyland.
* [[Last of His Kind]]: The Do-Do. Subverted at the end, where dozens of Do-Dos pop out.
* [[Not Rare Over There]]: See above.
* [[Reality Warper]]: The Do-Do.
* [[RThe EmakeRemake]]: 1949's ''Dough for the Do-Do'' by Friz Freleng, made with most of the original animation included <ref> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKedQDSvfq8&feature=related Proof]</ref>, but with updated, Daliesque backgrounds, an entirely new soundtrack, and new scenes.
* [[Screwy Squirrel]]: The Do-Do.
* [[Shout Out]]: In ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' there was a portal to Wackyland from Acme Acres, and one of the characters was Gogo Do-Do, the son of the Do-Do from ''Porky in Wackyland''.
** In a blink-and-you-miss-it, one character had a W B on him and blinked at the audience.
** One of the "monsters" in Wackyland is a three-headed goon who'swhose heads slap and poke each other while babbling incoherently. [[The Three Stooges|Guess who they look like?]]
{{quote| '''Tiny creature:''' He says his mother was scared by a pawnbroker's sign!}}
* [[Spell My Name With a "The"]]: The Do-Do, apparently. The video game ''Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal'' lists his official name as "Yo-Yo the Do-Do", however.
* [[Stock Footage]]: Some of the footage in this cartoon was later recycled for another Bob Clampett short: ''Tin Pan Alley Cat.''
* [[Travel Montage]]: The line on the map variety.
* [[Twist Ending]]: There are actually DOZENS''dozens'' of Do-dos living in Wackyland.
* [[Write What You Know]]: Clampett apparently made the short as a tribute to his favorite newspaper comic strips of the time, no surprise considering that he was a big comic buff.
