* CrookedContractor: Daffy not only adds the machines to Elmer's house without his consent, he is nonplussed by the chaos they cause (the only two times he shows some regret is when Elmer accidentally activates the "Alcatraz Ascot" mode on the tie-tying machine and when he tries to calm down Elmer before the fire-prevention robot pours water on him) and when Elmer activates the anti-tidal wave mode of the building, Daffy reveals the machine does not has the button to bring it back down and he offers to install it for additional payment.

Added DiffLines:

* DigitalDestruction: Unfortunately, it was one of the shorts affected by the short-lived policy by Warner Bros. Home Video to crop any 1.33:1 short from 1954 and after to widescreen ratio, causing some bits of visual information to be chopped off the image. It's most glaring towards the beginning when Elmer is put on a bus by Daffy- he's hardly seen in the frame at all.

Daffy is a push-button salesman who converts Elmer's house into a push-button home free of charge (and without Elmer's consent). However, as he demonstrates each new household gadget, he only ends up putting Elmer in pain and wrecking his house.
