Cordelia says in 2.06 Guise Will Be Guise:
“You’ve got everyone scared around here, I’ll tell you that. It’s like they don’t even know you’re a shemp.”
Shemp was on one of the Three Stooges, a slapstick comedy team whose film shorts were made between 1934 and 1959. In 5.20 The Girl In Question, Spike says:
“Hey, damn right we are. We’re not gonna be his Shemps any more.”
In the Buffy episode 2.01 When She Was Bad:
Cordelia: “Oh, look, it’s the Three Musketeers.”
Buffy: (to Xander) “Was that an insult?”
Xander: “Kinda lacked punch.”
Willow: “The Three Musketeers were cool.”
Cordelia: “I see your point.”
Xander: “I woulda gone with Stooges.”
