Line 12:
* [[Art Evolution]]: Under previous director Alex Lovy, the Lantz studio's cartoons were both badly animated and hideous to look at. With Shamus Culhane's arrival, the animation only improved slightly, but this somewhat mitigated by the fact that the character and background designs were '''way''' better than what we saw before.
* [[Circling Birdies]]: Er, chirping little birdies chirping and circling around the dazed Native American's head, to the beat of a classic NA tune.
* [[Comes Great Insanity]]: Don't give Woody the position of a barber if you value your life. Granted, he actually does a fairly good job on the workman—doesnworkman -- doesn't get a scratch on the guy—heguy -- he's just so ''rough'' about it.
* [[Poirot Speak]]: The Italian-American workman tells Woody, "I want you for to give me the whole works, Figaro."
* [[Screwy Squirrel]]: Woody, of course. Unfortunately, he does tend to stray from being a simple Screwy Squirrel into an outright [[Jerkass]] at times, a problem that would remain throughout the entire Culhane era.
* [[Shout-Out]]: When Woody combs his "hair" over his face, he remarks, "Looks like Harmonica Lake"—a -- a reference to actress ''[http://lh6.ggpht.com/_bOJvAxkB578/SB6a6Ey_oAI/AAAAAAAAAik/ru2MR06yH_I/veronica.jpg Veronica]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20120516022004/http://wesclark.com/ubn/veronica_lake.jpg Lake], famous for her "peekaboo" hairstyle. Later, when Woody calls out, "Figaro! Figaro!" the workman replies, "Coming, Mother!"—a -- a [[Catch Phrase]] of the popular radio comedy, ''[[The Aldrich Family]]'' ("Hen-''RY!'' Henry Aldrich!" "Coming, Mother!").
* [[Toothy Bird]]: "Maybe I can cut my own hair. I cut my own teeth!"
* [[Visual Pun]]: Woody puts a steaming hot towel on the chief's headdress, which shrinks it down into a badminton bird. "You give chief the bird, me give you scalp treatment!"
