* ProductDeliveryOrdeal: Sideman's piano gets taken away by a collections agency, but a neighbor of his is willing to lend him another; all he needs is help moving it. Tony thinks it'll be a cinch and rhetorically asks everyone, "If we all pitch in, how hard could it be to move an ''itty-bitty'' piano up a couple flights of stairs?" GilliganCut to Tony and his friends stuck on the staircase and mightily struggling to move the piano. When Tony wonders how they're gonna fit the piano through the door, even if they could carry it up the stairs, Reggie comes up with the suggestion of taking down the door (of note is that Sideman himself doesn't give much [[{{Pun}} weight]] on the struggles Tony and the other guys have for moving such an upright piano up a flight of stairs to his apartment, because he only tells them [[SkewedPriorities not to scratch up the piano in the process]]). Another JumpCut later, and the door is being put back in its frame and the piano is finally in Sideman's apartment.

Added a few tropes, two of which involved Sammy Davis Jr's Sideman character
* AndThatLittleGirlWasMe: Sideman tells a story about a little boy who, after discovering that a goose he had become attached to was Christmas dinner and not a present as first assumed, let the goose free and got a pretty serious spanking as a result; and when Reggie asks if he made it up, Sideman says that he had the scars to prove it.
* CatapultNightmare: Reggie shooting up in bed after we see Lynette looking away as the collision between her and a drunk driver is imminent appears to be this, only for Tony to receive a phone call confirming that the fatal car crash was very much real.
