Fridge Brilliance

  • The Goofy short "Motor Mania" features a "Goofy Everyman" as Mr. Walker, who wears glasses and looks like a stereotypical mild-mannered nerdy man. However, when he gets behind the wheel of his car, he turns into Mr. Wheeler, who is supposed to represent arrogant drivers who think they can do whatever they want when they're driving. In his "transformation", his glasses come off. I used to be annoyed by this because I saw it as a stereotypical "character can't have glasses if they're being tough and wild" scene, but I just realized something about that. Someone who needs glasses should definitely be wearing them while driving, so the fact that Mr. Wheeler takes his glasses off may show that he's being so reckless that he doesn't care if he can't see well while he's driving! - Rainbow
  • The infamous Furry Confusion between Goofy and Pluto the Pup can be explained with speciation: they may be both dogs, but are of two different genera, having evolved under different circumstances. Goofy is to Pluto as a human is to a chimpanzee.
  • Some people were confused by his casting as Jacob Marley in Mickey's Christmas Carol, given his innocent personality. But his casting makes perfect sense when you think about it—by robbing the widows and swindling the poor, he done goofed!

  • Goofy is one of the only classic Disney characters to have ever had sex. Think about it. Max looks just like him. Imagine what it looked like. Imagine what it must have SOUNDED like. Oh, god.
