* Even Guy’s name is Fridge Brilliance in a meta sense, because in the original book, he was never given a name. In other words, he was just some random [[IncrediblyLamePun “guy”]].

* Mr. Snerz's mother meant well when she let him blame her for letting his Flemur get out, but honestly, if she'd told him the truth (i.e. that his own clinginess and roughness drove it to run away), maybe he would have learned to be kinder to animals.

* It makes perfect sense for the BADGUYS to catch the zookeeper in a net and dangle him over slapping turtles to get their information in the first episode, since they're, well, bad guys. [[spoiler:It stops making sense when it's revealed they're a legitimate force working to protect animals whom the zookeeper would have every reason to want to cooperate with, not to mention that they should have been held accountable for assaulting zoo personnel this way.]] The show does not explain this later, despite it being used as a RedHerring to fool the viewer about the BADGUYS' true nature.
* In a similar vein, the zookeeper appears to not know what the BADGUYS acronym stands for, despite working with animals for a living and said BADGUYS [[spoiler:being specifically dispatched to bring the Chickeraffe back to the zoo.]]
** It's possible that both of these answer each other. The zookeeper, for whatever reason, doesn't know what BADGUYS stands for (maybe he's just dense or out of the loop). So he thought they were actual bad guys, and so was uncooperative with them, resulting in them interrogating him the way they did because he was making himself seem suspicious.
** Also, just because the [=BADGUYS=] aren't the villains doesn't mean they're [[GoodIsNotNice completely nice]]. Remember, they're Officers searching for a dangerous criminal and a stolen animal that may be vicious; [=McWinkle=] is on his last mission, and has seen enough animal crooks that he's become gruff, and Gluntz is following in his foot steps. [=McWinkle=] and Gluntz are using whatever methods they have to do their job, and while they aren't trying to hurt anyone, they're on a short time limit with one of the most notorious crooks in the land, so if they gotta play rough to get the Chickeraff, they gotta.

** Also, knowing this show's political leaning, it would make sense that, while the songs features in scenes with the heroes are all from the 1960s, a decade associated with hope, love and progress, the songs playing in scenes with [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Snerz]] are from the 1970s, a decade mostly associated with greed, political corruption and hardcore conservatism.

* Similar to the above, Mr. Jenkins [[PickyEater only eating ties]] at first seems to undermine the message of the story about trying new things. However, the reason Mr. Jenkins only eats ties may be a similar reason as to why Sam only eats green eggs and ham; the ties remind him of his long-lost home, just like how green eggs and ham reminds Sam of his long-lost mother.

* "Tree" is the only verse from the book to not be adapted into an episode, and yet Guy says "In a tree" during his "I do like Green Eggs and Ham" speech in the final episode. While it wasn't the subject of a full episode, there was a brief scene in "House" where Sam offers Guy some green eggs and ham in Guy's tree house.

* One can only imagine how atrophied the bones and muscles of Snerz's animals are from having to stand in place for who knows how long. Assuming they were rescued after Snerz's defeat, they may not even be able to walk.

* The most famous scene of "Mouse" has the titular character calling Guy a "filthy son of a..." before it is [[CurseCutShort cut and replaced with squeaks]]. In other episodes, characters use the phrase "son of a ''Yip''", so the mouse most likely said that, but the scene makes it seem like he swore.
