* [[ArtisticLicense Artistic License - Business]]: In real life, Elmer's business would come under massive scrutiny and, possibly, implode after "he's" thrown in federal prison for tax evasion. In this cartoon, however, his business is treated mostly as an ExcusePlot and (presumably) carries on after "he's" arrested.



* SwappedRoles: For the second half of the cartoon, Elmer becomes the RascallyRabbit, while Bugs is the hapless hunter, complete with ElmuhFuddSyndwome.

Bugs is later released from the hospital, still hypnotized into thinking he's Elmer. He's escorted by Elmer's limo driver to the woods for what would normally be Elmer's Wednesday morning hunting trip, only to encounter Elmer, who still thinks he's a rabbit. Thus begins a classic Bugs/Elmer chase, with the two characters' [[SwappedRoles roles reversed.]] In the end, [[spoiler: Bugs is taken to jail by an [=IRS=] agent (who thinks he's Elmer) for tax evasion. Elmer, meanwhile, reveals to the audience that he faked his bout of mental insanity all along as a way to leave somebody else (namely Bugs) holding the bag for his failure to pay company taxes.]]
