* HarsherInHindsight: Homer very likely gets concussed at least once, if not multiple times during his fight with Tatum. Thanks to the power of being in a cartoon, he suffers no long term effects. Athletes in real life have seen their lives spiral out of control if not [[DrivenToSuicide outright end]] as a result of being concussed. Further studies into CTE have revealed that, especially after retirement, many sufferers fall into depression and see their motor skills whither way. To their credit, sports leagues have tried to curb the physical nature of sports to avoid hits to the head, but it won't help anyone who's already taken a blow or two.

** When
Homer very likely gets concussed agrees to box:
-->'''Marge:''' Homer, of all the crazy ideas you've had, this one ranks somewhere in the middle. You don't know how to box, you're 38 years old, and you haven't gotten any exercise since grade school. Before you even consider this, I insist you consult a doctor.\\
'''Homer:''' No problemo.\\
''(Homer kisses Marge on the cheek and walks off)''\\
'''Marge:''' ''(yelling)'' A ''competent'' doctor!\\
'''Homer:''' ''(off-screen)'' ''D'oh!''
*** And then when Dr. Hibbert gives him the okay:
--->'''Dr. Hibbert:''' Why, I could hit you all day with this surgical two-by-four without ever knocking you down. ''(looks
at least once, if not multiple times during his watch)'' But, I have other appointments.
** Drederick Tatum managing to stop a prison riot is awesome, but also funny thanks to ''how'' he stops it.
-->''(It's nighttime at Springfield's prison. Drederick is sitting in his cell eating dinner, as a riot unfolds around him.)''\\
'''Drederick:''' Hey, guys, c'mon. Shut up.\\
''(the prison siren promptly stops, the guards and inmates stop fighting, and meekly back away)''\\
'''Guard:''' ''(whispering)'' Sorry, champ.\\
'''Prisoner:''' ''(whispering)'' It was Jerry.
** Drederick Tatum's opinion of the upcoming
fight with Tatum. Thanks Homer.
-->'''Drederick:''' Well, I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely going to make orphans of his children.\\
'''Interviewer:''' Uh, they do have a mother.\\
'''Drederick:''' I know, but I assume that she will kill herself out of grief.
** Marge calls for someone to stop the fight, to no success:
-->'''Marge:''' Where's the doctor?\\

'''Dr. Nick:''' Kill him! ''Kill him!''
** When Moe rescues Homer,
who's already taken about to be knocked out in the ring:
-->'''Announcer''': Oh, my God! Simpson's manager has flown into the ring and is airlifting him out! ''(heartwarming tone)'' Ladies and gentlemen... whatever dignity remained in boxing is literally flying out the window!
** A concussed Homer can't remember who Moe is:
-->'''Homer:''' ''(slurring)'' Are you an angel?\\
'''Moe:''' [[SarcasmMode Yes, Homer, I'm an angel. All us angels wear Farrah slacks.]]

** After being chastised by Lucius Sweet, Moe declares he doesn't need the man's money. [[HypocriticalHumour He proceeds to fold up his check carefully]].
** The Fan Man chasing after Moe (who stole his fan so he can rescue Homer from being beaten up by Drederick Tatum.
** Moe tests Homer's punching power...with [[{{Understatement}} unimpressive]] results:
-->'''Moe:''' ''(holding up two punching pads)'' Alright Homer, let's see the left.\\
''(a fly lands on the punching pad, Homer punches, and when he draws his glove back, [[EpicFail the fly buzzes away unharmed]])''\\
'''Moe:''' Ohh....'kay. Let's see the right.\\
'''Homer:''' ''(exhausted)'' Just a second.
* HeartwarmingMoments:
** Even though it's [[PlayedForLaughs meant to be funny]], the montage over the end credits showing Moe as the "Fan Man" saving underprivileged people from danger (such as saving an Indian woman and her baby from a flood, pulling an explorer out of quicksand, and delivering U.N aid packages to starving Africans) is definitely a heartwarming moment.
** Prior to that, [[BigDamnHeroes Moe saving Homer from being KO-ed by Drederick Tatum by flying him out with the Fan Man's paramotor]]. And his earlier moment in the episode by [[BigDamnHeroes using a shotgun to order Jimbo, Dolph and Kearney's dads to stop beating Homer up in his bar, which works]]. You can think what you like about Moe, but he definitely values his friendship with Homer.
** Despite ruining the match, Tatum is touched by this gesture, stating affably to Homer how jealous he is that his manager cares so much about his well being.
** The fact that Abe is at the match and displays genuine concerns for his son's safety and relief when Moe rescues him. Compared to how their relationship is in a lot of episodes, it's pretty sweet.
