* MisplacedWildlife: The real-life dodo was native to Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean just east of Madagascar, not the African mainland as shown here. Of course, this is ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'', and RuleOfFunny is in full effect. Also, seeing as it is spelled Do-Do, it might just be a different species.

!!'''Contains examples of:'''
* AnAesop: Yes, there actually is one, but it's very vague--Get-Rich-Quick Schemes never work.
* {{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 ''[[MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch prissy]]'' monster and promptly walks off.
* ButtMonkey: Porky Pig's confrontations with the Do-do are very one sided, thanks in part to that the Do-Do is an experienced RealityWarper. It's not until the end when he disguises himself as a newsboy (or, in "Dough for the Do-Do", a do-do himself) that he is actually able to catch him.
* {{Cloudcuckooland}}
* DarkestAfrica: It's right after Dark Africa and Darker Africa.
* DerangedAnimation: Quite possibly the TropeCodifier.
* EverythingsNuttierWithSquirrels: The population of Wackyland according to a sign is "100 nuts and a Squirrel".
* ExtraExtraReadAllAboutIt: At the beginning.
* 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.
* ItRunsOnNonsensoleum: Pretty much anything that exists within Wackyland.
* LastOfHisKind: The Do-Do. Subverted at the end, where dozens of Do-Dos pop out.
-->'''Do-Dos:''' Yes sir! He's got the last Do-Do!
* LogoJoke: See the picture.
* LooneyTunesInTheThirties
* NotRareOverThere: See above.
* RealityWarper: The Do-Do.

* ScrewySquirrel: The Do-Do.
* ShoutOut: In ''TinyToonAdventures'' there was a portal to Wackyland from Acme Acres, and one of the characters was Gogo Do-Do, the son of the Do-Do from ''Porky in Wackyland''.
** In a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, one character had a "WB" on him and blinked at the audience.
** One of the "monsters" in Wackyland is a three-headed goon who's heads slap and poke each other while babbling incoherently. [[Film/TheThreeStooges Guess who they look like?]]
-->'''Tiny creature:''' He says his mother was scared by a pawnbroker's sign!
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: The Do-Do, apparently. The video game Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal lists his official name as Yo-Yo the Do-Do, however.
* StockFootage: Some of the footage in this cartoon was later recycled for another Bob Clampett short: ''Tin Pan Alley Cat.''
* SurrealHumor
* TravelMontage: The line on the map variety.
* TwistEnding: There are actually DOZENS of Do-dos living in Wackyland.
* {{Wackyland}}: TropeMaker and TropeNamer.
