| 1 | * AngstWhatAngst: Jerry and Nibbles briefly mourn over Tom's execution... for all but two seconds, before going right back to smiling and walking into the sunset as if nothing bad happened. |
| 2 | * CondemnedByHistory: This cartoon was initially very popular upon release, even managing to win an Oscar; today, however, it is considered one of the worst cartoons in the series due to its [[DisproportionateRetribution particularly cruel ending to Tom]], even by ''Tom and Jerry'' standards. |
| 3 | * DesignatedHero: The mice are Musketeers, but ''they're stealing from their own king'', and yet we're supposed to root for them when Tom pays with his life for trying and failing to stop them. |
| 4 | * DesignatedVillain: Tom was just trying to protect the King's food from the mice. [[DisproportionateRetribution He ends up getting]] ''[[DisproportionateRetribution executed]]'' [[DisproportionateRetribution for failing to do so.]] |
| 5 | * ItWasHisSled: If you went into this short not knowing the ending ''while'' living in the internet era, you can probably consider yourself lucky. |
| 6 | * KarmicOverkill: Tom gets the guillotine for failing to stop Jerry's antics, automatically sending this short into "darkest T&J short" lists (the only one that tops it is "Blue Cat Blues"). |
| 7 | * NeverLiveItDown: Jerry (and to a lesser degree Nibbles) has picked up a reputation as having set out to steal the banquet knowing that it would cause Tom to be executed for his failure to protect it. However, the Mouseketeers weren't actually present when Tom was threatened with execution if he messed up, and indeed, they both look genuinely shocked when Tom actually meets his demise, even if they don't dwell on it for long. |
| 8 | * NightmareFuel: That guillotine at the beginning and end. |
