It may have also been a nod to the 1955 Looney Tunes episode “One Froggy Evening”, where a man finds a frog who can do vaudeville. In an effort to hype the frog, he rents a theatre. He first puts out a sign that says “Admission: $2”, nothing happens. He then puts out a sign that says “Free Admission”, nothing happens. He then puts out a sign that says “Free Beer”, then a bunch of drunks bullcharge into the theatre! That is one of the harder Looney Tunes cartoons to find as many of the early ones were censored as they were considered “politically incorrect”. The scene about the man putting up a “Free Beer” sign may have doomed that cartoon to censorship as well.
