Fridge Horror

  • There are versions where Little Bunny Foo Foo is kissing the field mice rather than bopping them. Because, you know, sexual assault is better than physical violence?
  • No one never said Humpty Dumpty was an egg...
  • Tennyson's The Lady of Shalott was actually called out on its fridge moment by Sandy Stranger in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. In the poem, The Lady finds a boat tied up under a tree, and writes The Lady of Shalott on it before getting in. Sandy has an imaginary conversation with her where she asks "By what means did your ladyship write those words?" The Lady explains there was a can of paint and a brush nearby, probably left there by "some heedless member of the Unemployed."
