"Stooges," indeed! Maybe they happened on some old 3 Stooges re-runs?
My Mother literally would not allow me to view the Stooges, because they treated each other so horribly and called each other names. Of course I saw them on TV at other kids' houses, but Mom's indoctrination was so effective, I couldn't enjoy them.

Back in the 1980's, when my sister was raising two boys, she noticed the older one calling the younger one a moron, idiot, and other descriptors that had never been uttered in the house. She was left wondering where that came from. The kids hadn't gotten out much, always supervised, and too young for school. It turns out the Disney "bad guys" have been made bad by yelling these things at their stooges. Highly charged lines, and kids are sponges.
