* BrickJoke: The dimwit uncle can't figure out which way north is (his brother's head needs to point that way) even when the others show him which way is west. He continues to try and figure it out as the others have a conversation. The film then cuts to the next scene when Wabisuke and his brother-in-law are drinking and discussing arrangements with the funeral director--only for the uncle to wander in again, ''still'' trying to figure out which way is north.
