- Richard recalling the time when he asked Milt Kahl if he listened to music or not while working. Apparently, that question is Milt's Berserk Button.
- Richard recalling that Vincent Price looked like a fish from the front.Caricature of Price: Hello, Richard. I'm a friendly monster.
- Richard's snarks over the examples of bad "inbetweens" that result in a wobbling effect, eventually culminating in him snarking about an animation involving a cup with "Frying tonight".
- The beginning of the "Classic inbetween mistakes" segment which provides examples of hilariously exaggerated poorly done inbetweens: a nail bending before the hammer hitting it, a water droplet splattering before hitting the ground (with him lampshading how it violates common sense), a ball squishing before hitting the ground and a person's head suddenly having one eye and a vertical line for a mouth while he turns his head.
- Richard's sarcasm for a poorly done pose of someone who's supposed to be picking up a heavy rock.Richard: Must be a polystyrene rock.
- There's an entire page dedicated towards examples of "surprise anticipations". Said examples involve a pianist trying to play a single note, only to fail in a hilarious manner one way or another.
- The chapter "Time to Draw" features some of Williams' figure drawings, including one with Roger Rabbit's face drawn over it.
- The animated version of the logo gives some of the characters clever entrances. The UPA-esque small man is revealed to be flat whenever he turns towards the camera; the dachshund's middle section stretches like rubber as its back end has trouble catching up with the front; and the stick figure man enters one segment at a time like a foldable ruler.
