A painting in a spooky house always has eyes that follow you when you pass it.
When running through a door in a long hallway of doors, you will always emerge from a different door; often one far away, especially if someone is chasing you.
Roosters love to antagonize dogs.
When coming across a situation that will result in pain in a matter of seconds (explosion, train running over you, etc.), instead of jumping out of the way, throwing the explosive away, etc., you sadly look at the camera p.o.v. and cry, frown, or hold up a sign expressing your displeasure with the situation (Help!

Don't forget the yellow skin, long braid and coolie hat.
The other interesting thing about a hole through the earth, is that you will fall all the way through. When, and only when, you emerge on the other side and everything around you flips right side up, does gravity pull you the other way. This usually only lasts long enough to take you back home. Oh, and chances are you'll pass a guy with horns and a pitchfork along the way.

Actually, I watched cartoons for years before I even knew what an anvil was. I saw one in a machine shop when I was 7 or 8 and all was revealed. Eureka. That's what it's for. It is interesting when you look at those old cartoons and realize they were made in a time when most of the kids understood references to things like blacksmithing and farming. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of adults out there today who only know an anvil as an oddly shaped heavy thing that cartoon characters drop on each other.
