From Ryan : This short is wonderful. I find quite a few of the scenes funny. One such scene is where the nephews disguise themselves as a mummy. They use a record to provide a voice over. The voice over tells Donald to deposit a quarter and the record repeats itself (as records tend to do) saying "Another one." Donald plays a typical carney in this short. He tries to rip off customers, even if they're his own nephews.
From Grace : This is a hilarious short! It has tons of gags and a couple of scenes really amusing. I really loved the scene when the boys [Huey, Dewey and Louie] disguise themselves as Cleopatra, it really made me laugh so hard when they did there sexyback stuff. Anyway I highly recommend this short, and it's perfect for April Fool's Day.
From Gabe Bennett : While on one hand, the whole "Cleopatra" gag the nephews pull to get back at their scheming uncle is funny, it also tends to conjure-up a bit of the ick-factor, since Donald (although oblivious) is basically lusting after his own nephews!
From Baruch Weiss : This short features Donald as a carnival barker who likes to rip of his customers, even if they are his own nephews. I enjoyed the part where the nephews dressed up as Cleopatra and hog all the candy. I sense a Looney Tunes influence in some of these cartoons.
