- Memetic Mutation: "NIAGARA FALLS! Slowly I turn, step by step, inch by inch..."
- Parody Displacement: The "Niagara Falls" routine was based off the very-commonly performed "Slowly I Turned" vaudeville sketch, where a character is relating a story and is triggered into violent outbursts when the listener inadvertently utters a triggering word or phrase. This was done with many various locations and other triggering words outside of Niagara Falls, but only the Stooges' gag is well-remembered today.
