* [[Sarcastic Confession]]: Provides the page quote.

* [[Secret Identity]]: The "weary young traveler" is, in reality, [[Gentleman Adventurer|The Scarlet Pumpernickel]].

{{quote|It's getting so you have to ''kill'' yourself to sell a story nowadays.}}

* [[Shout-Out/To Shakespeare]]: Twice misquoted by Daffy -- "Vanity, thy name is woman!"<ref>Instead of "Frailty, thy name is woman," ''[[Hamlet]]'', I.ii.146</ref> and "Parting is such sweet stuff."<ref>Instead of "Parting is such sweet sorrow," ''[[Romeo and Juliet]]'', II.ii.184.</ref>

* [[Standard Snippet]]: Several, as is typical of a Carl Stalling score, including "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcskYeT0LOE Hooray for Hollywood]" to set the scene at the studio; the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSE15tLBdso Boccherini minuet] to show that we are in [[The Cavalier Years]]; Ben Jonson's "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoKrw-0dze0 Song: To Celia] for the love scene; Suppé's ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFylMmmT5L8 Banditenstreiche]'' during the chase scenes; and, of course, [[Richard Wagner]]'s [[Lohengrin and Mendelssohn|bridal chorus]] during the wedding.

* [[The Other Darrin]]: A rare performance of Mel Blanc as Elmer Fudd.

* [[Yiddish as a Second Language]]: Notably invoked by both "Scarlet" and "The Grand Duke" -- "So what's to save?" and "So what's to know?", respectively. Also, when the price of food-stuffs skyrockets, the food-stuff illustrating the trend is ''[[wikipedia:Kreplach|Kreplach]].''
