* NoAntagonist: This is one of the very few cartoons where Tom and Jerry don't antagonize each other: Jerry is only trying to keep his uncle out of trouble while Tom is trying to guard his whiskers from Pecos. The pair are even seen watching television together in the final scene (Tom doing it begrudgingly since Pecos plucked all but one of his whiskers).

* {{Expy}}: As mentioned below, Pecos is essentially a slightly-exaggerated mouse version of Shug Fisher's stage persona, complete with his "tooth rattle" stutter.

The cartoon begins with Jerry receiving a telegram from his Uncle Pecos, who's dropping in on his way to a big appearance on television. Upon arriving, Pecos plays for Jerry his rendition of "Frog Went A-Courtin'" (with his speech impediment popping up at every turn). Unfortunately, during his session, his guitar string breaks, and with no spares around, he sets his sights on a viable replacement: one of Tom's whiskers, which he painfully yanks out of the poor cat's face. Even worse, as Pecos continues to rehearse, his guitar string continuously breaks, leading to Tom losing more whiskers each time. Finally, when Pecos leaves for his television appearance, Tom is left with only one whisker remaining...but not for long.

* PorkyPigPronunciation: Pecos' stutter trips him up when singing "Frog Went A-Courtin'". "There's that hard part again." Shug Fisher, the CelebrityVoiceActor who performed Uncle Pecos (member of the Sons of the Patriots and the actor for Shorty Kellems on ''Series/TheBeverlyHillbillies'') actually had the distinctive "tooth-rattle" stutter that would slip up every once in a while. Froggy Went a 'Courtin' just exaggerates it.
