* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The short was intended to be contemporary, but nowadays it has become a time capsule for 1940's pop culture. Also, the price of the meal is $50, which would be expensive for an average person today; but adjusting for inflation it was ''over $800''.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: And ''how.'' Everything about the celebrity caricatures, down to the voices and animation, seems distinctly...off. You know something is up when the brief appearance of an animated horse (bothering Bing Crosby, notorious for losing large sums of money at the racing track -- see ShallowParody above), which is done in the more traditional ''Merrie Melodies'' style, looks natural by comparison.

* ShallowParody: Some Hollywood stars only appear because of an IncrediblyLamePun or a quick, cheap joke about their personality or what character types they're known to play in movies (not unlike something ''Family Guy'' would do).
** Creator/HenryFonda, for instance, only appears because his first name is the same as a popular catchphrase in the popular radio series ''Series/TheAldrichFamily''.

* Make what you will of Sally Strand's bubble dance. Many have fantasized what really goes on behind the bubble that covers her nudity up. Assets bouncing around? Assets not drawn in and therefore completely absent? Wearing pasties? To be fair, her apparent nudity is never shown, so it's never known whether she is indeed wearing something or completely naked. However, enough bare skin is seen which makes complete nudity heavily implied.
* Yet something else which is not known: where the bubble came from. Is it a prop that Sally Strand brought from outside or a club prop that she's borrowing for her dance? Also, definitely not possible for a bubble to look the way it does in the cartoon. She also doesn't seem to be holding it with her fingers, and the bubble simply seems to float around in front of her.
