* EntertaininglyWring: O’Pat and O’Mike both assume that Porky is out to steal their pot of gold. In fact, Porky doesn’t even believe that the leprechauns exist and even if he did, he’s more interested in getting a good night’s sleep.

Notable for being the last theatrical cartoon with Porky as the star; all his subsequent appearances would be supporting WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
The cartoons have Negative Continuity so we can't assume Porky has any memory of these other events.


* ArbitrarySkepticism: Sure, Porky has hunted down the great Do-Do in Darkest Africa and seen ghosts. But leprechauns are just a "peasant myth".

* IdiotBall: While on the run from the Green Shoes and winded from being knocked to the ground, Porky sees a harp in front of him and starts yanking at the strings. It proceeds to shrink around his wrists, making impromptu handcuffs so he can't take off the Green Shoes the second time. Why he couldn't go around it is anyone's guess.

* JerkassBall: Porky is a little more entitled in this short than usual, calling Seamus an ignorant peasant for believing in leprechauns when the latter warns him the castle is empty. The viewer is meant to not feel ''too'' sorry for him in the KangarooCourt.

* NiceToTheWaiter: Unusually for Porky Pig, he's not nice to Seamus when asking for a place to sleep for the night. While he offers to pay and speak with the manager, he shouts at him that leprechauns aren't real and bangs the door.
* NotSoHarmlessPunishment: Porky at first thanks the leprechauns for sentencing him to the Green Shoes. He sincerely starts to say they're the nicest shoes he's ever worn. Then they start making him dance, and hunt him down after he takes them off.

''The Wearing Of The Grin'' is a ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' cartoon by Creator/ChuckJones and Creator/MichaelMaltese.

One night, WesternAnimation/PorkyPig is driving his car through rural UsefulNotes/{{Ireland}} in the rain when he comes across an old castle on top of a hill, where he decides to spend the night. He sees a sign telling him to beware of {{Leprechaun}}s, which he dismisses as nonsense.

He goes inside where he's met by Seamus O'Toole, the castle caretaker, who agrees to set him up for the night. Once inside, Porky is knocked out cold, where he soon learns that the leprechauns are much more real than he thought.

The cartoon was released on July 14th, 1951.
