Tropes found in "The Warner's Vault":
- Art Shift: "Wipe Those Feet" is done in the style of a UPA cartoon.
- Educational Short: The Warners revisit some of their old footage and find their 1972 "Wipe Those Feet" short about, well, making sure you wipe your feet on the mat when entering a room. Which is all the more relevant because they are dogs (or rather dog-like creatures).
- Shout-Out:
- The opening is similar to Get Smart.
- The 1929 cartoon is in the style of Steamboat Willie.
- The 1960 cartoon is The Flintstones.
- Unintentional Period Piece: Played for laughs during the end. While Dot gives a thinly-veiled lecture about the political climate at the time the episode was being made, text saying "DATED MATERIAL WARNING" flashes at the bottom of the screen.
- Wartime Cartoon: The 1943 cartoon.
