* TheAllegedCar: Two examples in ''Tel chi el telun''.
** In a filmed intro, the trio tries to reach the theater on Giacomo's dated car, which has troubles with gear ratio and brakes. When Giacomo points out that he inherited it from his late grandfather, Giovanni suggests that the car should have been buried along with him.
** In one of the sketches, the trio mimicks a long trip on Giovanni's (non-existent) "Subaru SW", which Giacomo promptly calls "Subaru Baracca" (a lemon) as it only has three seats and four doors, a toy steering wheel, a single lever for both gear ratio and indicators, and somehow can be elongated in a banana shape.

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: ''Così è la vita'' starts with the trio as their gangster characters in a [[ShowWithinAShow film within the film.]] Al tries to tell a joke about a black guy, soon devolving into a liberal use of the N-word as Jack keeps interrupting him. It's the kind of language to be expected from a stereotypical gangster, and actual plot includes Giacomo antagonizing his racist brother-in-law by helping an immigrant family living in their same complex.
