* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'':
** In the ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S03E16GameraVsZigra Gamera vs Zigra]]'' episode, the Mads invent "Three Stooges Guns", one of which shoots out an eye-poking hand, which the other blocks.
** One of the exercises that can be performed on the Square Master in the ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E01WarriorOfTheLostWorld Warrior of the Lost World]]'' episode works out your "Shemp area". This is done, apparently, by lying on your side and spinning around, making a silly noise.
** The last riff of the Sci-Fi channel years had the movie's "Fine" end credit greeted by a joke that it was the official biopic of Larry Fine.

** In "The Night the House Caught Fire," a group of clumsy and clueless firemen respond to the call and wreck the downstairs of the house with axes and water from a fire hose (without determining whether there was a fire or not -- and it turns out there isn't). [[CastingGag The gung-ho lead fireman]] is played by Creator/JoeBesser, best known nowadays as a member of Creator/TheThreeStooges during the 1950s.

Besser also plays the equally overzealous head policeman in "Darn That Dream," who answers a call to John's boyhood home accompanied by a gaggle of cops. He arrests John and his family, convinced they're intruders.

** The last of the three fights between John's grandfather and a bully of similar age who is trying to force him to pay an illegal bridge toll is especially cartoonish, heavily reminiscent of Creator/TheThreeStooges. Here, John's grandfather bests his tormentor with a series of pokes to the eye interspersed with punches and nose tweaks before pushing him into the river. Occurs in "The Mating Dance."
