Behind the scenes

 * Hokey refers to Farmer Smith as being Irish.

Errors

 * Hokey's mouth movement is unusual in this episode compared to other episodes, with his mouth being mostly on the side on his face when talking, rather than being in the center.
 * It's unexplained how Ding-a-Ling ended up with Hokey after the hunter bought Hokey back to Farmer Smith's place, because the hunter only led Hokey there.
 * Smith only asked the hunter to bring Hokey back, so why did the hunter also bring Ding-a-Ling back?
