* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Moe feels like this to the usual bar goers because they never seem to invite him to hang out with him [[DependingOnTheWriter (even though that is far from the truth).]] When there is a chance that he may lose his bar, he actually wants to lose it because that would (probably) mean he'd start over somewhere else and do better with other people. Despite trying to blow it, his team wins the bet and he's back to sulking, though at least the guys are willing to include him...[[BrokenAesop provided his bar is used for celebration parties, that is.]]
