* In ''[[Film/TheMusicBox The Music Box]]'' they spend the first half of the film getting a piano up a rather large flight of stairs.

''[[WhatAnIdiot They take the piano all the way back down and go round]]''.

* The "[[ReallyGetsAround Jeanie-Weenie]]" running gag in ''Beau Hunks'', particularly where even the leader of the invading force has a photo of her. Even funnier is that ''every single man'', from the new recruits up to the General is in the French Foreign Legion because of her jilting them.

* In ''Way Out West'' Stanley vows if they don't succeed in their task "I'll eat your hat!" When they don't succeed, Ollie makes him stick to his word. Initially whimpering in distaste at the deed, Stanley's lapsed into blank-faced contentment by the third bite of his meal. Ollie snatches his hat back before it's completely gone, but takes a curious bite himself.
* In ''Block Heads'' Ollie invites old war buddy Stanley to his home. Before long, Stanley's destroyed Ollie's car, the wife has left in a huff, and the apartment is destroyed. Ollie tries using the phone, unaware the line's been severed, and after a long conversation realizes he's been talking to Stanley...Ollie chuckles merrily, then ''[[DisproportionateRetribution throttles]]'' him.
