* DelayedCausality: After Porky shows no ill effects from Nasty Canasta's favorite cocktail, Daffy then guzzles one himself. Daffy immediately suffers reactions to it, while Porky is now also having the same.


Added DiffLines:

* FairWeatherFriend: When faced with having to drink Nasty Canasta's preferred poison (literal and figurative), Daffy passes it on to the oblivious Porky. (Not that this helped Daffy any, due to Porky's DelayedCausality.) At the cartoon's end, when Daffy gets his new job, Porky's smug expression shows he's no different.

* MyLittlePanzer: At the climax of the episode, Porky interrupts a ShowdownAtHighNoon between Daffy and Nasty Canasta by sending a little wind-up toy soldier towards Canasta. Canasta picks up the toy and mocks it, only for the figure to blast him at point-blank range with its teeny-tiny musket with a bang so powerful it knocks Canasta (who up to that point had demonstrated to be [[MadeOfIron almost unstoppable]]) out.

* GargleBlaster: Nasty Canasta orders two of "the usual" (one for him, the other for do-gooder Daffy, whom Canasta was holding at gunpoint) from a saloon bartender: a drink made with such ingredients as "cobra fang-juice", "hydrogen bitters", and "Old Panther whiskey". It's prepared with asbestos gloves, welding mask, and tongs. He then drops two ice cubes in it... which immediately jump out as if on fire and head for the coolness of the fire bucket.... All the effect the drink has on Nasty Canasta is to make his cowboy hat lift off his head and spin around, but that's it. On Daffy and Porky, on the other hand, it makes them bend their hats into bonnets and prance around giddily while reciting "Mary Had a Little Lamb". It also causes Daffy's guns to [[BulletholeDoor shoot a hole in the floor]], which he falls into and then rockets out of.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: When this cartoon aired on ABC, the following scenes are cut and/or shortened:
**Several scenes of characters exchanging gunfire in the lawless Western town
**A cowboy mannequin holding an Indian mannequin at gunpoint, followed by an actual Indian being robbed in a teepee
**A cowboy getting shot and carted off to "Rigor O'Mortis:
The last joke often gets edited out Smiling Undertaker"
**The bartender mixing the noxious drink that Nasty Canasta orders for Daffy and Porky
***Versions
of TV airings.this cartoon shown on Cartoon Network and Boomerang (though, as of 2019, Boomerang airs the ending of this cartoon uncut) cut off after the reveal that Daffy is the town's new sanitation person, removing Porky's line, "Lucky for him, it is a one-horse town." It's been hotly debated online whether this was cut to get rid of the [[ToiletHumor scatological implications]] (which wouldn't make sense, as Cartoon Network has gotten away with worse in that department) or because of time constraints (the short was running at PAL speed and often, cartoons do have innocuous scenes cut to make room for commercial breaks).

Unfortunately the residents are entirely indifferent to Daffy, and when he finally finds a villain who will pay attention to him in the form of murderous bandit and square dance caller Nasty Canasta, things do not go well.
