* MistakenForThief: Mr. Edwards catches the Younger brothers being held at gunpoint by mail officers they were trying to rob and who turned the tables on them and, assuming they were the robbers, he fires a warning shot to scare them off, saving the Younger Brothers. Then, when he's recognized in town by the mail officers, they assume he's one of the Younger brothers and lock him up.

* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: The Younger brothers are ''incapable'' of hitting anything they try on purpose. In the first scene, they try practicing on cans over a fence, and after shooting several times, they stop to check on them and not ''one'' of them was shot. Instead, the outhouse behind the cans is brought down by the missed shots.

* YouLookFamiliar:
** The episode itself. Fans of ''Series/{{Bonanza}}'' will remember a nearly identical story [[note]]several of the main protagonists being misidentified as members of a bumbling outlaw gang[[/note]] from 11 years earlier: "The Younger Brothers' Younger Brother."
** Additionally, guest star Geoffrey Lewis (Cole Younger) had previously played another villain in the season 3 episode "The Bully Boys", marking the only instance of a ''Little House'' actor playing two different titular characters.
