* BerserkButton: Michael wouldn't be very happy when his brothers mentioned getting married, as he feared they wouldn't be as close as before.
* BigBrotherBully: Subverted most of the time as they were and and still are very close, but when Jackie or Tito wanted to make their brothers real mad, they would call Jermaine "Big Head", Marlon "Liver Lips" and Michael "Big Nose". Needless to say, the three boys weren't amused.
