- Quotes
Screwy Squirrel: [as Meathead chases Screwy, they pass the end title] Say, that was the end of the picture.
[They walk back to the end title card]
Meathead: Yup, that's it all right.
Screwy Squirrel: So long, Meathead.
Meathead: Goodbye.
Screwy Squirrel: Say, what was the idea of chasing me all through the picture?
Meathead: Because you're crazy. You think you're Napoleon, but you ain't. I am!
[Acts crazy]
Screwy Squirrel: You know, I like this ending. It's silly.
- Crazy creditsScrewy Squirrel and Meathead are chasing when they stop in front of an end title card on a black background, with the words "The End" in green. They realize that it is the end of the picture. They say goodbye to each other and Screwy says "Hey! Before you leave, just what was the idea chasing me over the picture?". Meathead says "Because you're crazy. You take your appointment. But your ace. I'm crazy." Then Meathead begins to "screw" himself and runs from the cartoon breaking the title card. Then the screen zooms in to Screwy, who says "You know, I like this ending. It's silly". Then the cartoon ends and the typical "A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Cartoon" card appears.

Featured review
One of the few series that Tex created himself and exclusively did
From all reports, Tex Avery was not terribly interested in doing cartoons using continuing characters, such as the Tom and Jerry series. Droopy was probably his big contribution in this vein. He did a few others, most notably the series with George and Junior and this series with Screwball Squirrel, but Avery was more interested in gags than he was in developing a set of continuing characters. Screwball Squirrel was exactly that-a screwball squirrel. These cartoons were among the most violent that Avery directed and this one is probably the most violent of the series. I personally like Screwy. Most recommended.
