Flashback to the Snoopy jack-in-the-box I got for Christmas in the mid 60s. I learned you could turn the handle backward and it worked the same, while playing “Doggy in the Window” backward.
I actually saw this happen in real life. A smaller dog, more nervous than Snoopy, and it scared hell out of the child with the jack-in-the-box (my niece, now in her 30s; we comforted her, and her parents had to buy her a new one, and counsel her NOT to play it near the dog), but it WAS quite funny.
We also had fun bringing small beach balls into the house and tossing them to the dog to see how long they would last.
What seems strange to me is that does not really look like a jack-in-the-box; not crank handle, and Shermie seems to be standing way too far back to have controlled it.

Every time I see a jack-in-the-box, I can’t help but think of the “It’s a Good Life” episode from the original “Twilight Zone” series.

I have both an ordinary Jack in the box and a Snoopy in the box.

That’s what you get for scaring Snoopy.
