The gag mentioned in Gag Nose is actually from a different cartoon; adding tropes.



to:

* AnachronismStew: If you're hoping for a true account of Puritan life in 1620s Colonial America, better look elsewhere. From the Mayflower surrounded by 1940s battleships, to the main character living in a streamlined trailer, Tex Avery throws in any contemporary reference he can for a quick laugh.



* GagNose: The pilgrim has a droopy, bulbous nose. He has to hold it to the side when talking to the audience so his mouth can be seen.

The pilgrim and the turkey are last seen in a cross-view of the bear's stomach as he walks away.]]
* GiftWrappedHero: The turkey wraps himself as a package for the pilgrim to take him.
* GravityIsAHarshMistress: The turkey pulls the old "saw off a limb, rest of the tree falls down" gag on the pilgrim.



* TalkingWithSigns:
** The lameness of the "Half-Breed" gag is {{Lampshaded}} with the guy holding a sign reading "Heap corny gag."
** At the end, the pilgrim holds a "''Don't'' eat at Joe's" sign [[spoiler:while inside the bear's stomach]].
