* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: One of the traps that Sid the Squid sets at Walter's funeral is a statue with a sword that will cut Slappy in half down the middle when she stands on an X. Slappy tricks Sid into standing on the X, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard resulting in him being cut in half]].
* RuleOfThree: Slappy buries a bomb in Walter's coffin three times. During her eulogy, Slappy says that Walter always liked doing things in threes, whether it was mallets, anvils, or bombs.

The Warners' water tower blows up at the end, and while the Warners were genuinely shocked about it, Yakko, being Yakko, says that they'll rebuild so that it's...by then he's at a loss for words and Dot just finishes him by saying that's it's the old one, and the three are back to their zany selves.
