{{tropelist}}
=== Tropes: ===
* [[Ass in Aa Lion Skin]]: Both Bugs and Cecil do this.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: The opening references the events of "Tortoise Beats Hare". This is ''very'' rare for [[Looney Tunes]], a franchise that thrives on [[Negative Continuity]].
* [[Deranged Animation]]: Some of Rod Scribner's animation of Bugs watching "Tortoise Beats Hare" in frustration.
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: The mobsters when they discover Bugs isn't the toitle. It's almost always cut from TV airings, but is uncut on the first Golden Collection.
{{quote| '''Mobsters:''' ''"Eh...now he tells us!"'' (they gun themselves down)}}
* [[Paper -Thin Disguise]]: Bugs pulls his typical bout of this in an attempt to get information from Cecil. In a surprisingly astute move, Cecil sees right through Bugs' disguise.
* [[Public Domain Soundtrack]]: "Under the Spreading Chessnut Tree", a staple song for blacksmiths, plays when Bugs is working on his metal shell.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Bugs' line, "That ain't the way I heered it, Johnny!" is cribbed from the old ''Fibber McGee and Molly'' radio show.
* [[Stock Footage]]: Footage from "Tortoise Beats Hare" is used in the opening, but it's for the sake of the story, and (probably) not a mere cost-cutting move.
* [[Sudden Anatomy]]: In the close-up of Cecil's shell blueprint, we see that he has ''fingernails!''
* [[Suicide Asas Comedy]]: [[Worst News Judgement Ever|"Hitler Commits Suicide."]] Also, the ending. See [[Driven to Suicide]].
* [[Turtle Power]]: Who else but Cecil?
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Bugs at the end.
