Reel Life

From the wiki for Arrested Development, one of the finest TV series of the past 20 years.

J. Walter Weatherman (Steve Ryan), a one armed amputee, is an old employee of George Senior. Weatherman appears in flashbacks from many episodes where, as hired by George Sr, he would lose his prosthetic arm in attempts to scare Michael, Gob, Lindsay, and Buster and teach them such lessons as "Always leave a note", "Don't yell" or "Don't leave the door open with the air conditioning on".

From the wiki for Joe Jackson, father to Michael Jackson.

One night while Michael was asleep, Joseph climbed into his room through the bedroom window. Wearing a fright mask, he entered the room screaming and shouting. Joseph said he wanted to teach his children not to leave the window open when they went to sleep. For years afterward, Michael suffered nightmares about being kidnapped from his bedroom.

PS Holy snapping duckshit. See here for a YT of episode snippet.
