History Fridge / AdamRuinsEverything

* At the end of the nutrition episode it shows Snacky the whale working out and lamenting his wife leaveing him for a bigger octopus. While clearly a gag it would also make sense that it's hinting/ruining, accidentally or otherwise, at the opposite of bad nutrition: bodybuilding is an absurdly dedicated and time consuming process that requires a certain amount of obsession to truly get big. Usually that obsession, when negative, comes in the form of trying to compensate for emotional damage or a misguided desire to prove one's self using their body as a metric.

** [[spoiler:Alternatively, it's because Emily was having a NearDeathExperience, which we know plenty about, [[FinalDeath whereas Hayley was completely dead,]] a state of being that we are currently unable to explore freely.]]

** Furthermore it has happened several times. In the episodes "Adam Ruins Sex", "Adam Ruins Hygiene", "Adam Ruins Malls" and "Adam Ruins Justice", Adam is forced to have a taste of his own medicine and is powerless when people tell him things he doesn't want to know. Both "Adam Ruins Justice" and "Adam Ruins Christmas" have his sister yell at him for essentially doing nothing but tell people information while not doing anything about the situation at hand. In the episode "Adam Ruins Voting", he gets pepper sprayed twice by his accomplice during the episode. In "Adam Ruins Forensic Science" he is arrested for wasting police time and most episodes generally have the victim freak out out at Adam before and after he tells them things they don't want to know. In "Adam Ruins Drugs", he gets tased. In "Adam Ruins The Economy" it's implied that Jim Kray-Kray almost murdered him for exposing the oversimplifications on his show. [[spoiler:"Emily Ruins Adam" takes it to it's logical conclusion, with Emily physically and mentally attacking him in a boxing match to display how even though Adam is proving people wrong, not everyone will accept it and the brain responds in the same way as getting physically hit.]]

* In "Adam Ruins Nutrition," [[MrFanservice Dr. Todd Bodd]] makes a comment about having to work as a stripper again if his show tanks when rioting crowds take it over. Later he resolves to create a new, scientifically accurate show, but six months later we see his set empty, implying the new show failed miserably. [[FridgeHorror I wonder where he's working now?]]

* Not to mention the entire opening monologue of "Adam Ruins Death," where [[SmugSmiler Adam]] describes death as flat-out [[CessationofExistence Cessation of Existence,]] and then goes into [[ParanoiaFuel a description of your bodily systems failing before you ultimately die.]] Sweet Dreams!
