* MirthlessLaughter: After complaining about getting pulled by the ears through a TV screen, Buster does this in response to seeing it's Bugs doing it.
* SelfDeprecation: After giving Buster advice, Bugs says he loves the show overall. He then admits to the audience that the studio paid him for that endorsement.

* InstantlyDefeatheredBird: When Babs does an accurate but unflattering impression of Plucky, Plucky throws a tantrum that causes him to lose all of his feathers. In a later scene, where he is complaining about Babs to Fifi and Shirley over the phone, he can be seen gluing his feathers back on.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Fifi and Shirley. They laughed when Babs messed with Calamity, Plucky, and Dizzy, and even encouraged her to keep going. It was only when Babs set her sights on ''them'' as well that they got upset.

Added DiffLines:

* MoralMyopia: Fifi and Shirley had no problems with Babs when she was teasing Calamity, Plucky, and Dizzy. In fact they ''encouraged'' her to keep going. Fifi and Shirley only got upset when Babs did ''them'', too (and Shirley was still laughing when Babs joked about Fifi first). So rather than the short being about Babs needing to learn when she's pushing things too far and respecting her friends' boundaries, it comes across that it's perfectly fine to enjoy ''others'' being teased as long as it's not you.

* OffModel: In the scene where Plucky complains to Shirley and Fifi about Babs while gluing his feathers back on, [[http://tinytoons.wikia.com/wiki/File:BornToBeRiled-PluckyCallsShirleyAndFifi.JPG Plucky's hand is green]].
