* [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle]]: the protagonist is called Jimmy Mahonney, pronounced MAH-Honee, so some American versions, to keep it along the music, rename him Jimmy MacIntyre. (The original Irish pronunciation is indeed MAH-honee, even though the usual American one is Ma-HOH-nee)
* [[Americans Are Cowboys]]: When this was first produced, a production note specifically insisted "Wildwest- und Cowboy-Romantik" was to be averted.
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: One of the Alaskan lumberjacks is named Alaska Wolf Joe.
* [[Band of Brothels]]: The prostitutes are one of the factions at the end.
* [[Boom Town]]
Line 49 ⟶ 50:
* [[Outlaw Town]]
* [[Prospector]]: Jimmy, Jacob, Billy and Joe.
* [[Protest Song]]: Jimmy starts a protest against Mahagonny by singing the song "Deep In Alaska"/"Seven Years" (name depends on how it's translated), drawing a knife, calling Begbick, and [[telling her to her face Reason You Suck Speech]] that Mahagonny will fail because it is full of far too much peace and contentment.
* [[Rich Bitch]]: Leocadia Begbick.
* [[Seven Deadly Sins]]: The reason that the characters get killed; Joe by anger, Jacob by gluttony and Jimmy by greed. Lust, avarice and sloth get a song while pride is noticeably absent.
