In "I Take Thee Quagmire", Peter, Cleveland and Joe take Quagmire to a strip club for his bachelor party. A stripper is shown dancing around Joe's lap, with him yelling in anger and saying "WHY DO YOU BRING ME HERE!?"

The Detroit Free Press can probably be credited with the first insight given to Joe with regard to exceptional progress. A contest was proclaimed for the solicitation of new readers. The grand prize was to be a new, sparkling two-wheeler bicycle. Now 12 years of age, this driven youngster had never possessed a bike.

With the exception of their first meeting, Peter often overlooks Joe's paralysis. In "Petarded", Peter misinterprets Joe's use of a wheelchair as a sign of him being mentally retarded rather than handicapped. Even after Joe tells him he is handicapped, Peter says he's just "splitting hairs". In "The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire", Joe falls into the water, and Peter tells him to kick. When Lois tells him that Joe's a paraplegic, Peter (oblivious to Joe's condition) responds "That doesn't mean he can't hear!" In "Chick Cancer", while directing a movie, Peter tells Joe to get up and walk, saying his character can walk; he even goes so far as to getting him up with a cattle prod. Later on, Joe's character is seen in the wheelchair with crudely animated legs in front of the wheelchair to provide the cheap illusion that he's walking.

At the same time, Joe's mother fed him her constant love and belief that, indeed, Joe was capable of succeeding in life. This was Joe's second spark: to show his mother that her love and judgment had not been misplaced.

It is revealed in some episodes that Joe has severe anger issues. For example, in an episode when Lois tells Peter to go to the doctor for a checkup, he instead goes to eat steaks with his friends. Each of the crowd, except for Joe, eat at least two or more, and taunt Joe for not even finishing one. After an onrush of taunting comments, he pulls out his service-issued gun and starts shooting it at the steak and firing at the ceiling. Brian calms Joe and pulls the gun away saying, "I'll just put this in your purse next to your tampons." Another incident of this is in "Sibling Rivalry"; when Cleveland asks if Joe would ever get a vasectomy, Joe shakes Cleveland violently as he screams "NEVER!!!", then smashes Cleveland's head on the table repeatedly.
