** There's also the fact that the actor who portrayed him later died after going to war for real.
* On a meta-level, it can be kind of hard to watch Curly's final years as a Stooge. The man's health was in severe decline by that point and it shows. He had lost much of the energy he had in earlier shorts and looks visibly unwell. It's just sad to see a legend like Curly slowly fade away like that.
** After Curly's stroke which forced him to retire and be replaced by Shemp, the other Stooges hoped that it would only be temporary and Curly would eventually be able to return to the group. Sadly, it wasn't meant to be; although he was able to make a cameo in "Hold that Lion!", Curly ultimately never recovered enough to return as a full-time Stooge and remained in poor health until his death in 1952.

* "Nutty But Nice" shows a girl, Betty Williams, that's [[IllGirl grief ill]] from missing her kidnapped father. For a Stooge short, that is dark.
* The mention of Dare not loving his wife anymore in "Film/BoobsInArms" is bound to raise some questions and concern.
* A Real life example, but the fact that Moe saw his two brothers, Curly and Shemp, die just within three years of each other. The guilt he probably felt over that must have been immense, considering it was his two brothers who followed him into his dreams of stardom.

While the Stooges have been known for being madcap comedians, they're not one to skip on emotional moments.
----
* In "Cash and Carry", the Stooges find a boy, named Jimmy, in their home, [[KickTheDog they force him to leave]]. As the boy gets up and heads to the door, they find he has a prosthetic leg. Guilty, they have him disregard their order. Before that, Curly asks this:
-->'''Curly:''' Hey, where's your father?\\
'''Jimmy:''' We ain't got no father. Just sis and I.
