* GoodLuckCharm: Averted, as the initial cause of the flat is a nail in a horseshoe, which collars Donald's neck, much to his disgust.
-->'''Donald:''' Good luck, BAH!
* PopTheTires: The plot involves a tire going flat and Donald trying to fix it. And then ''all four tires'' go flat in the end.
* WartimeCartoon: While its connection to UsefulNotes/WorldWar2 is superficial, this cartoon does show a commentary on scarcity of essentials for people on the home front -- in this case, rubber. This is reinforced by the movie poster and the title card, both of which are adorned with various newspaper clippings of articles on rubber shortages. In addition, in the cartoon itself, as Donald stares at his well-worn inner tube, he gripes, "Doggone rubber shortage!"
* WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises: As Donald goes crazy from the flat tires, his eyes widen and pupils shrink before leading to...
* WingdingEyes: ...his pupils spinning wildly into spirals.
* YankTheDogsChain: Towards the end, Donald finally succeeds in getting the flat tire fixed -- and then not only does that tire go flat again, but ''all the tires'' do so.
-->'''Donald:''' Retreads! ''RETREADS!!''
