* UsefulNotes/LooneyTunesInTheThirties: Considered to be the very best from the 1930s.

* NotRareOverThere: See above.

The color remake, "Dough for the Do-Do", which was directed by an uncredited Creator/FrizFreleng and released in 1949, is the version most viewers are familiar with simply because it was a more attractive version to air on color television during the 1960s, '70s, and '80s (alongside being in the post-1948 package of cartoons that often aired on ''WesternAnimation/TheBugsBunnyShow'', as opposed to the original, which was in the pre-1948 AAP package and aired less often on television). However, there's also a computer colorized version of "Porky in Wackyland" that aired on Nickelodeon and later Cartoon Network in the 1990s and the early 2000s.

* AntiClimax: In the beginning when it seems like the first monster that Porky encounters is about to attack him it turns out to be a ''very'' [[CampGay prissy]] monster and promptly walks off.

* HeWentThatWay: When Porky asks a goggily eyed resident with a candle on his head where the Dodo is he says this and his many arms point in different directions.

* ArtImitatesLife: One of the Do-Do's tricks used to evade Porky is to draw a house that he can easily enter, but Porky struggles to gain access to.

** Versions of this cartoon distributed by Guild Films in the 1950s cut the part where the Do-Do pops into frame onto the Warner Brothers shield and hits Porky with a rock from a slingshot. This cut was made because Warner Bros. did not want to be associated with television back in 1955. A similar cut was made when ABC aired the 1949 shot-for-shot remake of "Porky in Wackyland" called "Dough for the Do-Do" (though this cut was made because of comic violence[[note]]the Do-Do slingshotting Porky's head into the ground[[/note]] and because ABC at the time was controlled by the theater chain spun off from Warner Bros.' rival studio, Paramount[[note]]this was before ABC was bought out by Disney[[/note]]).
