* SourOutsideSadInside: When we're first introduced to Arnold, he remarks how he doesn't miss his son for leaving to persue a career on Broadway, blaming him for his wife (who was mentally ill) for dying afterward. Five years later, he admits to Snagglepuss, [[spoiler:too senile to recognize his own son]], that he actually misses his son and that he's afraid that all he ever did was hurt his son in his efforts in raising him.

While the original ''WesternAnimation/{{Snagglepuss}}'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/TheHuckleberryHoundShow Huckleberry Hound]]'' cartoons were lighthearted {{Zany Cartoon}}s for the time, ''Exit Stage Left'' grounds them in the grim reality of [=McCarthy=]-era America, with themes of racism, homophobia, corrupt politics and Red Scare paranoia looming over the whole thing.

* DecoyBackstory: Huckleberry Hound is presented as a gay, depressive author, which is considerably different from how he's usually presented in cartoons, where he's usually a plucky everyman who comes out on top. The ending of the series reveals that [[spoiler:this is actually the father of the more commonly-known Huckleberry Hound, who adopted his dad's name to honor him after he died]].

Snagglepuss isn't much better at acting straight, but he's got a better beard, because Lila is aware of the situation, and it seems Huck's wife doesn't.
