* BreakingTheFourthWall: Almost all of the humor surrounding them breaking the fourth wall in some manner, usually in regards to cartoon violence. In ''"The Three Caballeros"'', there's ProductPlacement joke where they can't endorse ''Donald Duck'' merchandise to be sold on the show. Donald's lawyer at the time argues it's not Donald Duck merchandise but ''The Duck Formerly Known as Donald'' merchandise. After some discussion, they consider that acceptable, much to Mickey's incredulity.

* OtherMeAnnoysMe: Far more from Ludwig's side because his clone
[[FinishingEachOthersSentences likes to explain as much as he does]] and he knows what it was like before he had to share the spotlight. She, however, is the one to break up when [[InsufferableGenius Ludwig refuses to make room for her genius]], much to Ludwig's astonishment (and heartbreak).

* TakeThat: Whatever happened behind the scenes that inspired the Censor Monkeys must have been something, because "mean-spirited" is too light a word to use for their first appearance. They stop the short ''"Donald's Charmed Date"'' because it's too violent and without consequences. They want Donald to wear a helmet and pillows and for the sound effects to be replaced by comical ones. At that last demand, [[AnvilOnHead a safe falls on the trio while making a comical sound]] and Mickey [[AsideComment turns to the audience]] to ask, "Was that comical enough?" with one of the most sadistic faces ever drawn on him. Even the nickname "Censor Monkeys" sounds like a nasty nickname the production team must've had for the [[ExecutiveMeddling meddling executives]].

The way she needs a moment before answering the door suggests that she may have also changed her outfit to look more bright and colorful to sell the act.

to:

* AdaptationalBadass: A considerably more potent threat than the witch from ''Hansel and Gretel'' is usually portrayed. She uses her magic to herd her prey into a cage and succeeds in capturing them, and even when she's knocked into her own oven, she becomes a ''much'' more dangerous magical threat and isn't even killed by the end of the story.

* BondVillainStupidity: She makes one critical error in leaving the cage open while she takes Mickey to the oven, allowing Minnie to escape and get the jump on her.
* DeadpanSnarker: She has an unimpressed face when Mickey pretends to be too weak to open the oven door to buy some time, and even points into the oven annoyed once she opens it.


Added DiffLines:

* FatteningTheVictim: Downplayed. She only provides Mickey and Minnie one big meal and tries to cook them shortly afterwards.


Added DiffLines:

* OneWingedAngel: Once she's in the oven, she takes on a new, fiery demon form to attack Mickey and Minnie with.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Sadist}}: She takes glee in Mickey and Minnie's terror once they realize what she intends to do to them, and their despair when it looks like all hope is lost.
* SapientEatSapient: True to form, she doesn't care that Mickey and Minnie are living sentient people, she's still going to eat them.
* SealedEvilInACan: By the end of the short she doesn't seem to be in danger of perishing thanks to magically turning into a fire demon, but she's still trapped inside her oven with seemingly no way out.


Added DiffLines:

* TakingYouWithMe: Usually pushing the witch into the oven is the end of her, but this witch is quick enough that she pulls the two mice into the oven with her.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: ''Mickey Mouse Works'' is pretty light-hearted, but the witch is one of the darkest antagonists featured in the series. She's a NoNonsenseNemesis who lures Mickey and Minnie in solely to eat them, and turns out to be a much more powerful threat than her literary counterpart. ''WesternAnimation/MickeysHouseOfVillains'' even saves her short for very last when the movie takes a darker tone following Jafar's takeover.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Just like old times".

* JerkassHasAPoint: The ProductPlacement thing on the show was probably the only time they made real sense given Disney's rep regarding merchandise and the CashCow. However, they were convinced by Donald's weasel lawyer.
* MonkeyMoralityPose: The Censor Monkey are based on the Three Wise Monkeys, which in their case symbolizes their refusal to watch or listen to material deemed too violent. The "speak no evil" moneky simply never talks.
