Compromising Principals:

- "Freaky Friday" Flip: Buster uses a brain-swapping machine to put Miss Conduct's brain in the body of a potato.
- Human Ladder: Buster, Babs, and Plucky form one to listen in on Yosemite Sam's conversation with Miss Conduct. Only Buster heard what was going on since he was on top, while Plucky was in the middle, and Babs was on the bottom.
- "Miss X" Pun: Yosemite Sam applies for a job at Miss Conduct's School of Immaculate Manners. Miss Conduct herself is very prim and proper.

- Adopted to the House: Buster lets the Grovely family stay in his burrow until they can find a new job when Monty kicks them out of his mansion.
- Continuity Snarl:
- Grovely looks different from the rest of his appearances on the show in this short. He is much older, with grey hair and a mustache. He is also slightly kinder and has a previously unheard of wife and two kids (one boy, one girl). This version of Grovely appears to be based on Monty's one-time butler, Jeeves, from the "Life in the 90's" episode segment "Paper Trained," having Jeeves' appearance and Grovely's personality and voice.
- Babs and Buster's Vanderbunny disguises are different than their previous ones. They resemble their rich person personas in the "The Acme Acres Zone" episode segment "A Walk on the Flip Side". However, they still use the same voices that were used for the previous appearances of the Vanderbunnys.
- A Day in the Limelight: For Grovely, Montana Max's butler.
- Ironic Echo: At the beginning of the short, Monty tells Grovely "I can't abide mere tap water! I want Avion!" At the end of the short, when Monty becomes Grovely's butler on Grovely's day off, Grovely tells Monty "I cannot abide this mere tap water! Have you no Avion?".
- Ocular Gushers: Mrs. Grovely does this when Monty kicks her out of his mansion, and Buster ends up getting rained on by her tears.
- Temporary Bulk Change: Buster and Babs become fat when they eat all the food in Monty's fridge. They're back to their normal weights in a later scene.
- The Thing That Would Not Leave: Buster sees the Grovely family as this after they spend three weeks in his burrow.
