9	!!Tropes:
10
11	* {{Bowdlerization}}: On CBS, the part where Daffy grabs the electrical wire and gets zapped while he's chasing Speedy on some power lines was cut.
12	* BumblingHenchmenDuo: Daffy and Herman, who constantly quarrel with each other.
13	* DigitalDestruction: Most prints of this cartoon currently in circulation are sped-up PAL prints that have the soundtrack pitched ''way'' low.
14	* DudeWheresMyReward: At the end of the cartoon, Daffy returns to Dr. Crazy's office after "getting rid of Speedy"[[note]]in actuality, Speedy grew bored with the chase and went home, while Herman gave up on the chase altogether[[/note]]. Instead of getting a monetary reward, [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment he's thrown out by what sounds like an angry woman]].
15	--> '''Daffy''': Hmmph! It's a sad state of affairs, when a mouse can make a machine turn a duck into a chicken on account of a rat. Ooh, what a revolting development!
16	* LimitedAnimation: This was, after all, made in the mid-60’s. In fact, the voice and model of Dr. Ben Crazy would later be reused for [[OverlyLongName Dr. Manuel Jose Olvera Sebastian Rudolfo Ortiz Pancho Jimenez Perez III]] in "A Taste Of Catnip."
17	* OneManArmy: The only employee at "Daffy Rents" is Daffy himself. When talking with Dr. Crazy over the phone, he even [[HoldingBothSidesOfTheConversation pretends to have a full staff of people]] to make his company sound more legit than it actually is.
18	* PaperThinDisguise: Daffy's female mouse disguise. He simply wears a dress and WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse ears. Naturally, Speedy isn't fooled, but [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Herman is]].
19	* PunnyName: "Ben Crazy" is a pun on "Ben Casey", a popular medical drama in the 1960's.
20	* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Herman. Right down to ''demanding equal pay from Daffy for his work on catching Speedy!'' Daffy, under his breath, [[HypocriticalHumor calls Herman a "selfish machine" for this.]]
21	* RodentsOfUnusualSize: After Speedy grows bored with constantly upstaging Daffy and Herman, he brings his Cousin Ramone (The Biggest Rat In Tijuana) to the hospital as a stand in. Unfortunately, Daffy and Herman turn out to be no match for the big rat, leading Herman to finally give up and Daffy to try to claim that he got rid of Speedy.
