1----
2* The band, after struggling to find a better name than "The Four Lovers", suddenly sees the neon letters of the local bowling alley "The Four Seasons" all light up... and proclaim: "[[VisualPun It's]] [[CaptainObvious a]] [[{{Subtext}} sign]]!" Also a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome at the same time.
3* The revelation that "Joey" is Creator/JoePesci.
4** Leading to ''this'': When Gaudio thinks Joey's pulling his leg and says it's "very funny", the inevitable happens:
5--> '''Joey:''' [[Film/{{Goodfellas}} Funny how?]]
6* When Crewe asks the group if the name "Four Seasons" is a reference to Vivaldi and Nick starts complaining about the guy stealing their idea.
7* How Gaudio gets the idea for their second hit:
8--> ''(The gang is watching ''Film/AceInTheHole1951'' when Creator/KirkDouglas slaps the heroine)''
9--> '''Guys:''' OOOOOH!
10--> '''Tommy:''' Watch--I bet ya she cries!
11--> '''Crewe:''' No, no. Big girls don't cry.
12--> ''(Bob looks at him in epiphany as--)''
13--> '''Song:''' BIG...GIRLS...DON'T...CRY!!!
14* The macho Tommy not getting the point of the title "Walk Like a Man" -- leading the TransparentCloset Crewe to jump in, and then [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] the {{Irony}}:
15--> '''Tommy:''' I don't get it.
16--> '''Bob:''' What don't you get, Tommy?
17--> '''Tommy:''' The title, "Walk Like a ''Man''"...?
18--> '''Bob:''' ...So?
19--> '''Tommy:''' As opposed to what--a woman?
20--> '''Bob:''' No -- it's for ''boys'', Tommy -- teenage ''boys''. We're telling them to act like men!
21--> '''Tommy:''' Instead of like ''girls''....
22--> '''Bob:''' [[SarcasmMode Yeah, instead of like]] -- ''no''! Instead of like ''boys''! C'mon, why're you doing this --
23--> '''Crewe:''' HEY-hey-hey -- Miss Congeniality? It's a ''metaphor''. It's an ''anthem'' for every guy who's ever been twisted around a girl's little finger -- and if ''I'm'' explaining that to you, we're in trouble!
24* Creator/ClintEastwood's CreatorCameo in the movie is Gaudio watching an episode of ''Series/{{Rawhide}}''!
25* Tommy advises Frankie he's been the victim of a scam, but it's going to be OK, he'll take care of those guys who tried to pull a fast one on him. Frankie wants to know, "Are you going to call [[TheFamilyForTheWholeFamily Gyp]] [[TheMafia DeCarlo]]?" Tommy takes offense. "You don't bother Gyp [=DeCarlo=] for minor stuff like this. I said '''I'll''' take care of it!" Cue the GilliganCut at [=DeCarlo's=] place.
26* When the group is in jail after forgetting to pay a hotel bill:
27-->'''Tommy:''' Hey Nicky, remember when we couldn't get arrested?\
28'''Bob:''' (from a separate cell) When was that, Tommy? When you were three?
29* After Nick’s rant about Tommy’s slovenly bathroom habits (including urinating in the sink and using all the towels), Gyp and Norm go off to discuss matters, but not before Gyp tells Tommy to stay out of his bathroom.
