* TheCameo: [[Series/AmericanIdol Jennifer Hudson!]] [[Advertising/TheManYourManCouldSmellLike Isaiah Mustafa!]]... ''Series/JerseyShore''?
* ChekhovsGun:
** [[spoiler: They later all become popular stars and save the orphanage]].
** The seed money of $72.

** Larry accidentally staples the head of a guy who's already got several piercings. ''He's only slightly miffed''.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: For a PG film, this movie managed to sneak a surprising amount of off-color content, including boob jokes, a scantily-clad nun, and a closeup of a lion's testicles.

* ChekhovsGun: "Are you kidding me? There's three of them?"

* JerkassHasAPoint: [[ButtMonkey Sister Mary-Menglele]] was right about the Stooges being responsible for causing several repercussions at the orphanage throughout the past 30 years from their constant stupidity and had a right to say it was their fault.

* AdaptationalUgliness: Larry, when it comes to being portrayed by the 41-year-old Sean Hayes. To a viewer, he looks older than both Moe and Curly.

* TheBigGuy: Curly is not only the biggest of the Stooges, he's also the tallest here. Mostly because his actor, Will Sasso, is 6'3", ''dwarfing'' the original Curly's height of 5'5''

* DeadpanSnarker: Moe.

* AnimalsLackAttributes: Averted with the lion, whose balls are even used [[GroinAttack in a joke]].

** The slap/poke fight from the short "Three Little Beers" is recreated in a deleted scene with the Stooges at Teddy's anniversary party.

* PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure: [[spoiler:[[ItMakesSenseInContext After shaking the cops]], [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Larry blames Moe for everything he did]], whereas Moe [[ShooTheDog decides to have them leave ]] as he finds them as dead weight.]]

* BigDamnMovie: In a sense. The Stooges leave their home to raise up the money to save it. During the movie, a murder plot is involved. Something that one wouldn't expect much in the original shorts.

'''Curly''': It's not my fault. It was a chain reaction on the saw. See, [[DontExplainTheJoke saw]]. Nyuk, nyuk.\\

--> '''Larry''': "Uh-oh. Is that Sister Mary-Mangelele?"
--> '''Curly''': "I dunno, but the face rings a bell!"
--> '''Moe''': "Remind me to gouge your eyeballs out later."

'''Larry''': Oh, no? Why do you think we never got another shot at gettin' adopted again? It's because when ya messed it up that day ya messed it up for all of us.

[[caption-width-right:350:''Just Say Moe.'']]

'''Larry''': You were the cause of all of our problems since day one.\\

** Literally when they farm salmon...on a golf course!

--> '''Mother Superior: "Oh, boys and their rodents!"
* GroinAttack: A lion gets hit in the balls by a flying peanut ([[spoiler:as a result of Curly and Larry trying to save a Dolphin when they accidentally clog its blowhole with said peanut]].) What follows is it mauls [[ButtMonkey Mac]] in [[RampageFromANail a blind and hurt rage]].
* IncrediblyLamePun:
--> Larry: "Is that Sister Mary-Mangelele?"
--> Curly: "I dunno, but the face rings a bell!"
--> Moe: "Remind me to gouge your eyeballs out later."

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Larry gives one to Moe and blames him for everything he's put them through. [[spoiler:Leading to the demise of their friendship.]]
-> '''Larry''': You were the cause of all of our problems since day one.
-> '''Moe''': How do you figure?
-> ''[beat]''
-> '''Larry''': You shoulda gone to lived with Teddy's folks back when they wanted to adopt you!
-> '''Curly''': Yeah, that way, you coulda come back and helped us all out.
-> '''Larry''': But no! The great, powerful Moe is too lazy to squeegee the pool.
-> '''Moe''': Now, you don't know what you're talkin' about.
-> '''Larry''': Oh, no? Why do you think we never got another shot at gettin' adopted again? It's because when ya messed it up that day ya messed it up for all of us.

* SpoiledSweet: Zig-zagged regarding Ted. Despite being adopted by rich parents he tends to be a nice guy. But at the end [[spoiler: it turns out he resents the nuns because his father had made him go to boarding school and so he refuses to help them save the orphanage, but then he returns at the end to adopt Murph and Peezy, revealing that he's also rescued Peez's brother from the foster system]].

** Moe fits in perfectly with the 'cast' of ''Series/JerseyShore''. He ends up ironing Snooki's tongue.
** At one point, the following exchange happens: "Those three idiots are here!" "The Kardashian girls?"

* TinkleInTheEye: The Diaper Changing scene half way through the movie, [[spoiler:babies start urinating on the stooges, prompting them to squirt one another with the babies]]. Granted, [[ItMakesSenseInContext it's meant to parody the original "Pie In The Face" routine the trio use to pull off]] but [[NauseaFuel it doesn't work so well]]...
* VisualPun: "Plus, we have ''smoked'' salmon."
