* FanNickname: Fans have dubbed the curvaceous female sheep from "Sheep Wrecked" Leggy Lamb.



* OneSceneWonder: The anthropomorphic female sheep (or "[[FanNickname Leggy Lamb]]" as she's often called) from ''Sheep Wrecked''. She only has ''three seconds of screentime'', as a gag at that, but you would be surprised at all the fan art that has been made of her, most of which is fairly recent. This is due to her surprisingly [[BestKnownForTheFanservice sexy appearance]].

* ValuesDissonance: Many shorts contain a liberal amount of {{blackface}} (usually as the punchline to an AshFace gag) and other racial minorities such as Native Americans and Asians, as well as plenty of sexist or womanizing jokes. They tend to range from "awkward" to "only tolerable if you're forgiving of the time period." The most egregious example is probably "Half-Pint Pygmy" which includes some of the finest SurrealHumor ever committed to animation but has fallen into obscurity due to its titular LivingMacGuffin being a horrendously racist stereotype. The uncut ''Droopy'' DVD set and Tex Avery Screwball Classics series of Blu-Rays even have a preface acknowledging this.

* EnsembleDarkhorse[=/=]OneSceneWonder: The anthropomorphic female sheep (or "[[FanNickname Leggy Lamb]]" as she's often called) from ''Sheep Wrecked''. She only has ''three seconds of screentime'', as a gag at that, but you would be surprised at all the fan art that has been made of her, most of which is fairly recent. This is due to her surprisingly [[BestKnownForTheFanservice sexy appearance]].

* AwardSnub: Despite making some of the most acclaimed shorts of the 40's, Tex never won an Oscar for any of his cartoons, and was lucky to be nominated twice--in contrast to the ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' series winning ''seven'' Oscars and several nominations during this same time. This was notable enough to where an entire article was written about it on Blog/CartoonBrew. Fortunately, Avery's films got a better reward later on--five of his films occupy ''The 50 Greatest Cartoons'' list (with four more as runner-ups) and one of his films even got inducted into the UsefulNotes/NationalFilmRegistry.

* FandomRivalry: As mentioned on the ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Droopy}}'' pages, Warner's use of the MGM library splits the difference between Looney Tunes and Hanna Barbera fans that don't otherwise see eye to eye. In this case when the official disc release finally came they chose to directly base it around Tex Avery and his productions. Although there was some dust-up connected to this over Warner Archive's decision to give a lot of their blurays several months in advance releases over their dvd counterparts. Where it seemed many of the Looney Tunes fan having switched over to bluray with many of the Hanna Barbera fans flooding Warner Archive's media asking where was the dvd. Which forced Warner Archive to break their otherwise code of not revealing the unspoken expectation the dvd would come later.
