Fridge / Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers

Fridge Brilliance

  • In episode "Weather or Not", how come Monty can stand being in wintercoat almost entire episode, despite heat wave? He is from Australia and has resistance for a hot climate and lacking of underfur.
    • Related to above; why other Rangers wear thin fabric nightshirts, when Monty wears a woolly night gown? Given his species, he would propably be hypothermic if he didn't wear it.
  • This crosses between Fridge Sadness, but in "Seer No Evil" Monterey's tearful reaction to Chip's prediction makes sense when you realize that he had lost another dear friend, Geegaw.
  • As well with that episode but not brought up is that all of Cassandra's predictions did come true. Cassandra's final action regarding Chip was not saying he would die, but the Throat-Slitting Gesture. After the trunk fell, what happens but the villain's monkey helper making that motion.
  • After the Rangers free them Nimnul, Sparky and Buzz sign up to work for a new lab. At first, this may seem strange. Why go back to working in a lab if the last one they were used in was controlling them for evil? Because unlike the Rangers, they weren't just wondering around the Mouse World and it's also implied that they did like being lab animals, just not what Nimnul used them for. So most likely, they felt like they would be best in another lab.
  • Why in episode "Mind Your Cheese & Q's" the gourmet snacks that the Rangers bring to Monty are specifically liver and fish eggs? Since Monty is The Muscle of the team, it is completely understandable that the substitute for cheese would be more protein-filled.
  • Gadget and salesmen. In her introductory scene in the pilot movie, she has built a full on Death Course leading to her home to keep the traveling salesmen away. Why? Because she is the proverbial Farmer's Daughter. Well, her father wasn't a farmer and she doesn't live on a farm, but she checks all the boxes otherwise: lives in an isolated location, is friendly but obviously somewhat unworldly, is very good with her hands, and is very, very easy on the eyes (albeit might not be aware of it). Another staple of the trope is a Boyfriend-Blocking Dad trying to keep the salesmen's grubby mitts off his daughter. Gadget may never have fully realized why Geegaw was so eager to keep the salesmen away, but once she lost him, she built those traps to fulfill the same function.

Fridge Horror

  • In "A Lean on the Property", a group of moles do a ton of damage to the city by digging underneath the foundations of buildings, causing them to tilt. None of this destruction is resolved by the end of the the episode. This was also the final episode in production order. Taking that into account, could the damage to the city actually have been permanent?
  • "Chocolate Chips" involves a swarm of mosquitoes spreading a drug to control people and animals through their bites. This includes Zipper, who is the same size as them. Although we don't see him attacked on camera the size would imply biting him would look quite gruesome compared to everyone else.
  • In "A Creep From the Deep", Monty's tail is "slammed, singed, kinked, and crushed." numerous times during the episode. In real life mouse tails are really fragile and going through all that would make it snap off. Doesn't help that Monty yelps in pain whenever his tail is pulled.
  • During the three weeks the Rangers were stuck on the island in "Chipwrecked Shipmunks", who knows what kind of things Fat Cat was able to get away with because the Rangers weren't there to stop him. Also it's lucky that Professor Nimnul didn't try any of his "world domination" schemes while they were gone because he might have actually gotten away with it without the Rangers there.
  • In "Love is a Many Splintered Thing" Monty tells the Rangers that everytime he smells that (Desiree's) perfume, he falls in love all over again. He later discovers the truth about Desiree and is heartbroken. It is possible that if Monty ever smells her perfume again, it will trigger unpleasant memories.
  • "Mind Your Cheese and Q’s" Monty hallucinates that Zipper is a piece of cheese and has a cheese attack. Good thing that it was this moment that the Rangers came home, or Monty would have possibly eaten his friend alive.
  • In "Rest Home Rangers", we never see if that calf that was aged into bull by Nimnul's aging invention was de-aged.
