One day he wakes up and, in the process of attempting to perform various routine tasks--get out of bed, put on a hat, make bread--he proceeds to destroy his apartment.

!!Tropes:
* AllClothUnravels: After Nudnik crawls out of the sofa chair a second time, his suspenders catch on the upholstery. All the upholstery unravels, and then the whole chair collapses.
* TheBigRottenApple: Nudnik is living in a crumbling apartment building with a "Building Condemned" sign out front. There are cracks in the walls of his apartment.
* BornUnlucky: Poor Nudnik. Most of what happens to him in the episode isn't his fault. He picks up a bag of flour and the flour dumps out when the bottom of the bag ruptures. He tries to turn off the water in his sink, but the handle to the spigot breaks. He tries to pull out the drain stopper, but the chain rips out.
* ChekhovsGun: The water that Nudnik keeps dumping out his window onto the awning over the building entrance, and the valve out front prominently marked "WATER MAIN". He dashes out to try and shut the water main, only to get drenched when the awning collapses.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Every Nudnik episode had his name in it. This one was followed by "Drive On, Nudnik", "Home Sweet Nudnik", etc. Even better, the title of this first Nudnik short was originally "Nudnik #2."
* MurphysBed: The short opens with Nudnik crawling out from between the cushions of a sofa chair. After he gets out, the sofa chair flips out into a bed. Delighted, Nudnik gets back into bed--and the bed flips back into a sofa chair, forcing him to crawl out again.
* OffIntoTheDistanceEnding: Ends with Nudnik walking away from the camera after the awning collapses and dumps a bunch of water onto him.
* SilenceIsGolden: No dialogue in the cartoon.
* {{Surrealism}}: Nudnik the goof manages to accidentally dump his bankroll into a blender, shredding all his dollar bills. He then makes dough out of the flour and shredded money, only to come out with a loaf that looks like a dollar bill. He takes a bite, winces, and withdraws coins from his mouth.
