* the cancer trinket is one fo the better ones, doubling your tears. thinka bout that. cancer doubles your tears.

* The amount of health that Isaac's persona has is related to how comfortable he is with that side of him. Hence, ??? is something he's horrified about, his emo and murderous sides are ones he doesn't like, him being strong and brave is something he can't get on board with, his normal self is what he feels normal about...But Magdeline is what he feels most comfortable with, hence the higher HP.

* There's numerous flies and poop piles in Isaac basement, the flies are enemies, and the poop is rewardable vandalism material. Wearing an item called skatole, which is poop, deters flies. Yet you can't just grab a poop pile and smear it over yourself.

* The Magic 8 Ball gives you a "Tears Up" fire rate increase. Why? Because ''[[TheWoobie knowing his future makes Isaac cry harder]]''.

* Judas starts with 3 pennies, which seems odd- it'd seem more appropriate for Cain to have them, right? Except the original Judas sold out Jesus for 3*10 coins.

* In the final level, the Chest, you can't bomb your way out of rooms. Isaac couldn't escape the chest, no matter how hard he tried.

* To anyone who gives Issac cancer (a trinket, boosts tear rate) and decides not to swap it out when another trinket spawns: You gave a child cancer and neglected to cure it. You monster! This is all the more tempting given how useful a more tearful Issac is.

* There is between floor nightmare were Isaac is suffocating in chest. Beating It Lives first time gives you ending where you find ??? in chest. ??? is dead. There are few endings that imply that Isaac went into chest. Do the math.

* When Isaac picks up the Steam Sale item, it shows Isaac with a sale tag on his ear. Has Mom been selling Isaac's body to pedophiles as a means of making money?

** Also FridgeBrilliance because his name is greed, and when he sells you things he...you know...takes your money.

* The corpse that's in both the shop or hidden rooms has a uncanny resemblance to Greed. At first, seemingly a coincidence. Then the fact of Greed only attacks in these rooms implies that for whatever reason, Greed is playing dead on the occasions he doesn't attack...

* Mulligans will occasionally spawn in a room with fires in it, and almost inevitably they'll end up killing themselves by walking into it. They're too stupid to notice it's there, right? Then you remember that they're people who are being horrifically mutated into hives for insects, and it's clear from their sobs that they don't like it, and you realize that they're probably trying to ''commit suicide''.

* [[DesperationAttack Whore of Babylon]] transforms the character into a demon with high attack power, but only when you have only one heart - AKA when you are near death. ??? does not have regular hearts, ever, therefore mantaining WoB always active. Makes sense, since he is a Dead Blue Baby, and therefore as close to death as possible.

* All of the Seven Deadly Sins mini-bosses have an unique sprite not seen in any other enemy in the game... All of them, except Sloth, which is just a '''[[StealthPun lazy]]''' {{palette swap}} of the Globins! That's a subtle, yet incredibly clever and ingenious joke.
