* WickedWastefulness: The Joker is shown being extremely wasteful and frivolous with his newly acquired wealth, to the point of making paper airplanes out of bills and [[MoneyToThrowAway throwing them out his convertible]] as a crowd of people snatch them out of the sky behind him. This was actually part of Barlowe's ThanatosGambit that was designed as a posthumous up-yours against his hated rival.

* SoreLoser: Realizing he's been had by Barlowe, Joker shoots the VideoWill playing the tape. Barlowe knew the clown would splurge on his "inheritance" money very quickly and got the last laugh posthumously.

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: Part of the reason the IRS ''exists'' is to squash the very sort of UnexpectedInheritance scam that Barlowe pulled, as their job is to verify the inheritance ''and'' preemptively deduct back taxes before the inheritor can claim it. [[AcceptableBreaksFromReality We wouldn't have an episode (and the comedy therein) if things were realistic]], but if verification/taxes happened beforehand, Joker wouldn't get a single cent. All he'd receive is the VideoWill of an obviously botched ThanatosGambit to laugh at.

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: Even if someone gets an UnexpectedInheritance, it must be verified for authenticity before accepting it. The inheritor must also pay inheritance taxes and debts right after taking it. Joker would have been informed of the counterfeit before he even ''saw'' the money and would likely have received whatever sum was left ''after'' the IRS deducted the appropriate amount (for the real portion of the money) from taxes. In other words, [[AcceptableBreaksFromReality if law was played realistic, the entire episode wouldn't have happened at all]].
