  • Crosses the Line Twice: The scene where Goofy orders George to hand over his prank devices, since George proceeds to turn in a slingshot, a handgun, a pocketknife, some firecrackers, some darts, and a live grenade!
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Most of the gags in this short, since they include a kid turning in a handgun and grenade, threatening a classmate with a (water) pistol, and blowing up the school right near the end. It gets to the point where Leonard Maltin, in the Walt Disney Treasures collection of Goofy cartoons, has to remind viewers that the short was made during a time when people thought of the idea of school violence as absurd.
  • Retroactive Recognition: This cartoon is narrated by Alan Reed, who is now better known as the original voice of Fred Flintstone.
  • Values Dissonance: It's safe to say that this short probably wouldn't be made nowadays, since school violence has since become a major, high-profile issue.
