* {{Deconstruction}}:
** Years of having to pay off the Stooges' antics means that the orphanage can no longer afford medical insurance, and is otherwise pretty much bankrupt.
** For years, Moe's abuse is usually dismissed and played for laughs by his brothers, who are comically immune to his attacks. However, once he's on ''Jersey Shore'', Snooki and the other cast members are actually horrified and openly call his antics "assault" and would have him arrested if it weren't for intervention from the studio.

** During Teddy's birthday party, a little girl gets stuck in the air thanks to a large bundle of balloons. Larry spies a rifle on the wall and tries to use to to pop the balloons, but Moe grabs it away before he can fire. After chastising Larry for being reckless, Moe bashes Larry with the butt end of the rifle, causing it to fire and pop the balloons anyway. Fortunately, the girl is not hit and she falls harmlessly onto a massive birthday cake.
