- After Moe's pickle jar gets shot, there is a shot that goes to the wall and slowly looks at each picture. When we first see it, there are six pictures shown. Two larger ones on the right side, and four smaller pictures vertically down the left side. The picture in question is the large one in the bottom right corner. Originally, it is Moe in Egypt with the jar, and then when they do all the close up pictures, it suddenly changes to a picture of Moe and his jar laying on the beach.
