!! This episode provides examples of:

''Overall:''

* AffectionateParody: Each wraparound parodies the intros to the classic tv shows, ''Series/ThatGirl'', ''Series/TheFugitive'', and ''Series/TheDickVanDykeShow'', complete with ottoman trips.
* CreditsGag: Director Emeritus - Norman [=McCabe=].
* PuddleCoveringChivalry: In the opening wraparound, Hamton places a shirt over a puddle so Shirley can cross over it. When Shirley steps on the shirt, she falls through the puddle as if it were a trap door.
* ThreeShorts
* VisualPun: In the second wraparound, during the lyrics, "''He's on the lam''", Hamton can be seen riding a sheep.

''Milk, It Makes a Body Spout:''

* ContinuityNod: When Buster and Plucky look for a student to test out their material on, Furrball can be seen eating Sweeties cereal, which was previously advertised in the second wraparound of "How Sweetie It Is".
* DynamiteCandle: Many of these are used in the cake Buster and Plucky make for Hamton in another failed attempt to make him laugh.
* OhCrap: When Plucky pretends to be a mailbox, he has this reaction when Granny mistakes him for an actual mailbox and attempts to mail all the postcards her class is sending (which is a giant bag's worth) by shoving them in his mouth.
* ShaggyDogStory: Near the end of this short, it is revealed that the reason why Hamton wasn't laughing at anything Buster or Plucky were doing is because he wasn't paying any attention to them. In fact, he was thinking about a math problem.
* SprayingDrinkFromNose: This short involves Buster and Plucky competing to see who can make Hamton laugh so hard, milk squirts out his nose first. All three of them laugh with milk squirting out of their noses at the end of the short when Hamton slips on the huge mess from the cake Buster and Plucky made.

''America's Least Wanted:''

* AffectionateParody: ''America's Top 10 Criminals'' is this to ''Series/AmericasMostWanted'', and this short's title is also a reference to the series.
* AxCrazy: Knuckles tries to kill Plucky with an axe at the end of the short.
* TheDanza: Creator/CaseyKasem provided the voice of Flakey Flakems, the host of ''America's Top 10 Criminals''.
* DonutMessWithACop: When Plucky and Hamton come across a pair of cops, Plucky acts like Hamton is trying to attack him to get their attention. One of the cops stops and asks Hamton where the donut shop is, and Hamton leads the way. Though considering that the police had arrested the real Knuckles, it makes sense that they wouldn't mistake Hamton for Knuckles.
* DownerEnding: The short ends with Hamton getting arrested by mistake, and Plucky accidentally leading Knuckles back to Hamton's house, with Knuckles trying to kill Plucky.
* IdenticalStranger: Knuckles bears a strong resemblance to Hamton. This ends up becoming Plucky's undoing at the end of the short.
* MistakenForMurderer: Plucky mistakes Hamton for Knuckles and spends a majority of the short trying to turn Hamton in for a $25,000 reward. He even sees what looks like Hamton choking Elmer and tries to save the latter, but it turns out that Hamton was actually rearranging his sacroiliac, as Elmer's regular chiropractor was on vacation.
* ShaggyDogStory: Towards the end of this short, Plucky tries to turn Hamton in to the police after he pays his bail. The police aren't fooled, since they arrested the real Knuckles almost an hour ago. This doesn't stop Plucky from trying to turn Knuckles in for the $25,000 reward himself.
* ShoutOut: When Knuckles attempts to kill Plucky at the end of the short, he says, "[[Film/TheShining Here's Johnny!]]"
* TakeThat: When Plucky is channel surfing, he flips through a parody of ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'', depicting Chip and Dale as squirrels. This clip would later be used in the opening to the short-lived spin-off, ''The Plucky Duck Show'', during the line, "''Other shows seem yucky now that Plucky's on the air!''".
* TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity: Plucky invites himself into Hamton's house and makes Hamton bring him food while he watches TV.
-->'''Plucky:''' What? No butter? Really, Hamton, you've got a lot to learn about being a good host. No butter on popcorn, no pizza rolls, keep this up and I won't invite myself over anymore.

''Drawn and Buttered:''

* TheDoorSlamsYou: Happens to the Lobster near the end of the short when Elmyra comes into Hamton's house.
* FateWorseThanDeath: At the end of the short, Elmyra comes into Hamton's house, wanting to protect the Lobster from Hamton. The Lobster ultimately decides to take his chances in a pot of hot water.
* IHaveAFamily: The Lobster begs Hamton to spare his life by showing him a wallet filled with pictures of his alleged family. Hamton knows he's lying, because he has the same pictures; they came with his wallet.
* ShoutOut:
** After the Lobster literally puts Hamton in hot water, he then says a line used in many Creator/TexAvery cartoons:
-->'''Lobster:''' I do this kind of stuff to him all through the cartoon.
** Hamton channels [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]] when attempting to kill the Lobster, whom he thought was a giant cockroach.
-->'''Hamton:''' (breathes heavily) And now, young side-walker, you die!
