Trivia

 * In the episode Up in Daisy's Penthouse, his woo-woo-woos can be heard up on the flagpole along with his appearance, but even though he died one year after the episode was released, the audio of his woo-woo-woos should have been delete or replaced.
 * He is the only member of The Three Stooges that dies before reaching to an old age.
