Added DiffLines:
* OpeningShoutOut: When the wolf and Little Red Riding Hood interrupt the cartoon, Screwy brings back the opening title card to show them they're in the wrong picture.
* PickOnSomeoneYourOwnSize: Screwy tells the wolf "If you were my size, I'd bust you right in the nose!" The wolf then shrinks down to Screwy's size, and Screwy reacts by ''shrinking even smaller'' and running away.

Added DiffLines:
* SelfDeprecation: When Screwy shows the wolf the title of his cartoon to show that he was in the wrong picture, the wolf snarks "one of them corny B-pictures, eh?"
Added DiffLines:
* WartimeCartoon: There are a few World War II references in the short.
** In the opening, the Little Red School House is actually blue, with a notice stating that "Technicolor Red has Gone to War." This is a reference to Lucky Strikes cigarettes, who had to change their green packages to white because of a shortage of green dye due to it being used for camouflage.
** The "Closed for the Duration" gag stated in WingdingEyes below.
** A sign at Red Riding Hood's grandmother home states that "Grandma has gone to Lockheed", meaning she's working at the Lockheed airplane factory as a "Rosie the Riveter".
