* Actor Allusion: Guest host Annette Funicello was a Mouseketeer on the Mickey Mouse Club. Guess which character was the subject of her guest spot.
* Also in "Consciences", guest star Harry Morgan dresses up as an angel. He played an angel in Disney's Charley And The Angel.
* And Knowing Is Half the Battle: Episodes often have a short "Did You Know?" segment pertaining to the episode's subject.
* Broken Record: In "Music", guests Skiles and Henderson stumble into a "Mickey Mouse Museum" and find statues of Disney characters who move and talk when the keys on their backs are turned.
* Credits Gag: The guest stars are credited as "Mickey's Friend".
* Furry Confusion: During the opening clock-punching sequence of "Noah's Ark", guest Bill Dana checks off the Disney animals two-by-two. He checks two mice, two ducks, two chipmunks and two...goofies? Said goofies were Goofy and a what can be described as Goofy in drag (it's just a one-off gag).
* Once an Episode: After the credits of each episode, the guest star appears to say "The End" in a rather humorous fashion.
* Each episode also begins with several Disney characters and guest star punching the clocks, followed by a rapid-fire montage of clips from the episode to the tune of "Whistle While You Work".
* Self-Deprecation: The animated closing sequence for the first season features Mickey Mouse driving a biplane, which gets eaten by a King Kong expy.
* The Stinger: See Once an Episode above.
* Stock Footage
