* More of a "Fridge Pun", but in "The Stickening", Dot goes on a teacup ride while having a super-sticky giant lollipop on her head. She spins it so fast and gets so much stuck to the lollipop that she ends up creating a black hole around herself that absorbs the entire universe. A black hole is an infinitely dense DOT of singularity!

*** Chicken Boo [[InformedAttribute was always described]] as TheAce in his original shorts even though when we saw him he pretty much just acted like a normal chicken. Obviously whatever mystical force allows him to excel at whatever he's pretending to be, stops working the minute he's outed as a chicken.

* Speaking of Julia... Brain's A.I. replica of her in Season 3. While its clear Brain felt real regret for how he treated Julia there are some squicky implications of what he was doing with a computer simulation where he placed her as his happy wife; which starts to veer more towards the same territory as the "Holodeck romance" episodes from ''Star Trek''.

** FridgeBrilliance. Brain may be sorry for mistreating Julia, but (consciously or unconsciously) he still wants to control her, which is why he puts her in a [[TheFifties 50s]] {{Sitcom}} scenario where he is the undisputed head of the household.

** Nora's role as CEO with Plotz gone... considering how well paid CEO positions are its hard not to imagine that in the 20-something years between the original series and the revival Plotz simply retired. Also possible he was pushed out by the Norita family once they took over the majority shares of Warner Brothers as well. Either way, the lower paid employees on the Warner lot such as Scratchy and Ralph ''are still'' working the exact same jobs we have seen them in since 1993. At least in Ralph's case it seems to be HappinessInMinimumWage.

* Slappy's composed expression in "Good Warner Hunting" makes a lot more sense when you remember that her entire thing was being a veteran toon who knew all the tricks that anyone could try against her and thwart them just by being sharper than them. She probably figured out how things were going to end and played along for a much more entertaining payoff in the end. Sure she could probably have stopped Grubb on her own but setting him up to get absolutely demolished by a whole mob of ticked off characters is a whole lot funnier.

* Wakko in Season 2 shrugs off a corporate disclaimer demanding demanding their firstborn by saying "We can't have children anyway, we're like ''mules''!" Which raises a whole lot of rather...''concerning'' questions.

* The implications of Julia's character arc, although it's more like a Fridge Tearjerker. She could have done a lot of good in the world if Brain's attempt to control her hadn't [[FaceHeelTurn turned her]] into his MadScientist ArchEnemy.

** It would also be completely in character for her to be as nonchalant as possible when Grubb tried to give her an AndIMustScream fate. A villain doesn't have nearly as much fun besting a hero when said hero barely cares that they won after all.

** Among the toons Grubb hunted down are Rita and Runt. Given the [[IJustWantToBeLoved concept of their segment]], it's easy to imagine that he could've killed them by simply [[ThrowTheDogABone offering them a home]] to lower their guards.

* While it kinda sucks that the water tower gag doesn't appear in the credits anymore, I think there might be a reason they did this. When watching the original series on Hulu, much of the time autoplay would annoyingly skip most of the credits long before the water tower gag comes up at the end (this problem doesn't seem to happen when playing the episodes via TV casting however), so it's possible that the credits gag got skipped to avoid this problem.

* In the episode where Brain and Pinky tell stories to the Sultana, Pinky's story of Pinkbad the Sailor, while exaggerated, does portray how a lot of the lesser known ''One Thousand and One Night'' stories get weird and wild, like how in "The Fisherman and the Jinni", the Jinni tells a completely different story in the middle of the tale, and how after gaining magic fish he presents the to the sultan who's fascinated by how the fish would instantly cook.

* Why did the animator from 'Yakko Amakko' look a lot less exaggerated than most of the humans in the reboot? Because she's from the 'real world', and thus looks more realistic than the cartoon characters.
** Given her admitted issues and admittance to only having tormenting the Warners, the animator here was probably the one to animate the episodes where the Warners died. And why death? Well, she did mention being both a fan of ''Game of Thrones'' and a dislike of plot armor in the last two seasons of it. She's compensating.

** The original concept for Chicken Boo, it's said, was a cannibal hermit who lived in a cave and consumed eggs. Note that Little Blue Bird (a minor character voiced by Tom Ruegger's youngest son Cody) isn't seen, either in stuffed effigy or chasing after Boo at the end. Come to think of it, Miles Standish's turkey pal is absent, too, and so is Steven Seagull. Could "Walter Grubb" not only be catching his old co-stars, but '''eating''' some of them (in particular, the avian ones) too?
