* FailedASpotCheck: Due to his inexperience with hardware, Bugs frequently makes drastic mistakes, but also doesn't think to do small things that would minimise the damage. Most notably, after drilling into a water pipe, he never thinks to actually switch the water off, which results in the house being flooded.

* CrappyHomemadeGift: In the "Chintzy" Merrie Melodies music video, Daffy is unimpressed with the childhood photo of him and Porky together that the latter gave to him for his birthday. He then explains to Porky in song that chintzy gifts are ones that are homemade like scarves and sweaters, and gifts that are not chintzy are expensive things like gold and gems. One of the lines in the song is "Try to stay away from arts and crafts".

* DisproportionateRetribution: Daffy's reaction to the butter that Porky serves him being hard is to throw the butter at Porky. Then he pelts Porky with the bread that Porky served him because they're store-bought rolls. Tina, needless to say, is angered by seeing Daffy do that.
