The violence in the Maroon Cartoons is supposed to parody those seen in Tex Avery , "Bugs Bunny", "Tom and Jerry" cartoons, and in many ways they exaggerate the intensity of the violent gags in those cartoons. Seen outside of this context, the violence can be disturbing to young or sensitive viewers. Roger is often hurt or injured as he saves Baby Herman from perilous situations.
A masked surgeon is about to cut Roger open with a chainsaw when he is stopped by a steam whistle indicating lunch.
Roger is electrocuted by overhead lights as he is strapped to an operating table.
Hypodermic needles are launched at Roger and he dodges them initially only for them to ricochet off a bedpan and land in his rear.
