Fridge Brilliance:

  • How did Bowser get his Black Magic at the end of Season 2 of Mario and Luigi's Stupid and Dumb Adventures? We see Craig the Devil in later episodes starting from September 2014, so he could have made a deal to get these powers from him.
  • In "Jeffy's Birthday!", when Jeffy soils himself, Mario heads off to change him, only to notice a torn letter in Jeffy's pants. Jeffy believes he pooped out a letter, and when Mario asks him about the rest of the letter, he tries to poop out the remaining bits. If you look closely, you can actually notice Jeffy did not poop out a letter, but rather had it in his pocket, probably from when he was first dropped off at Mario's door.
  • In "Jeffy's Mistake!", Mario's first choice for babysitting Jeffy is Shrek, noting that both like poop, but then one remembers that Shrek has a son, so out of all of Mario's friends Shrek may have more experience taking care of a child, making him a suitable babysitter for Jeffy.
    • Which could have actually happened if it weren't for him making "biochemical warfare" with his crap for the duration of the entire day. Also, Shrek's son had already ended up being non-canon by the time of the video.
    • Shrek later actually babysits Jeffy, along with Junior, in "Shrek The Babysitter!", only to lock them in the bathroom after they eat his cheesecake.
  • There's actually a clever hint that shows Jeffy is probably not as stupid as he looks, among many others. In "The Dog Show!", he swears about all the things that essentially make him stupid, a clear Call-Back to "Jeffy's Homework!".
    • Also, in the same episode, why did Brooklyn T. Guy allow Joseph's dead dog, but not Jackie Chu's cooked dog or Jeffy's hot dog? Joseph is a kid and his dog most likely died from starvation and he didn't let go of him or know he was dead, but Jackie Chu is an adult, Jeffy is also a kid, and they know mostly well that, in Jeffy's case, his dog is a hot dog, and in Jackie Chu's case, he cooked his dog.
  • Why did Brooklyn T. Guy act like the body parts in the food and apple bobbing tank at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza were normal in "Bowser Junior's 8th Birthday!"? In the games, they cover up everything to stop themselves from going out of business, and Logan just either made it the opposite or Bowdlerised that.
  • In recent videos, Junior's spoiled brat traits have slowly died down significantly, and he's far more empathetic towards others than he was before. Then you remember that Logan does a video once a year focusing on his birthday, and Junior is growing more mature with age as he gets older every year.
    • Not just that, but if you go back and re-watch some of Logan's older Junior videos, you'll notice that Junior nowadays has a much deeper voice than he had compared to earlier videos where he usually sounded a lot whinier, even if he wasn't upset.
  • In "Jeffy's Bad Word!", Jeffy is traumatized and terrified after Mario spanks him. As a result, he ends up making Mario's life, and in turn a lot of fans' lives, a living hell. With the reveal that he came from an abusive prostitute smoking alcoholic mother, it makes sense why Jeffy would be so traumatized after getting spanked.
  • Jeffy is a lot nicer to Junior than he is around most other characters, to the point where Junior could be considered his closest friend. He relates to Junior not only because they are both morons, but because they both had to deal with beatings from their parentsnote .
  • Why is Jeffy a potty mouth, and why does he sometimes put his "pee-pee" in several objects, despite being a young kid? Considering who his mother is, he may have learned several swear words from her and since she's a prostitute, he may have seen stuff he would've not seen at such a young age.
  • After his mom gets arrested, Jeffy gets adopted by Mario. Wouldn't it be just to permanently live with Mario in the first place? He even promised to be a good boy, yet keeps annoying Mario following his adoption.
  • In some videos Brooklyn T. Guy is seen as a burglar, despite the fact in other videos he's seen working on the side of the law. Does Brooklyn have a secret that his teammates at the police don't know, or is Does Bad Things Guy the one in the videos where Brooklyn is portrayed as a burglar?
  • Mr. Goodman regularly makes extreme threats to Mario if he doesn't receive house payments and has done many unethical things for his financial benefit. One might wonder why Mario doesn't report his behaviour to Brooklyn T. Guy, but it makes perfect sense. Mario is a mascot for Nintendo, and Goodman owns the company (among others) which therefore makes him his boss and the money to pay the bills has to come from somewhere. Also, even though one of Brooklyn T. Guy's jobs is a police officer, it's likely even he would be unable to do anything about it as Goodman is no doubt rich enough to afford lawyers and could find a way to screw them over in court in a complicated mess of legal issues, thus rendering both Brooklyn T. Guy and Mario broke.
  • Why does Joseph's mom get away with her abuse unlike Nancy? It's not far-fetched when you think about it. Nancy is a Disposable Sex Worker who is implied to live off welfare checks and isn't above stealing cars, which, along with abusing Jeffy, leaves her unable to defend herself in court and receiving jail time. Joseph's mom, on the other hand, isn't. She looks like an ordinary and motherly woman who has engaged in no such activity and won the lottery, so it would be a lot harder to give her the consequences she'd deserve. Like with Goodman as speculated above, that money could buy corrupt lawyers willing to look the other way and exploit the system and on top of that, she was abused by her husband and could very easily milk the excuse for her benefit (since even the justice system is more likely to believe a woman who even claims to have been victimized), thus gaining enough favour to convince the judge to pardon her for her wrongdoings and make punishing her an ultimately futile effort.
  • Cody tends to do wrong despite also acting as a voice of reason to Joseph and Junior. It's possible he doesn't actually think of their actions as morally bankrupt, but more that he thinks of their behaviour as inherently stupid (which, admittedly, isn't entirely wrong) and very far beneath him because he thinks very highly of himself. While he thinks something like, say, Junior and Joseph dropping a frozen water balloon on Chef Pee Pee's head or Junior disregarding the Magical Button's warnings to get free stuff are reckless and could cause someone's death, he has no problems wishing for a banana suit after using a wish to rescue Junior and trying to kill innocent people in a Sadistic Choice over a broken doll and could more easily justify them in his head due to his own selfishness. Overall, it's safe to assume that he's less a smart and ethical foil to his friends and more an egotistical hypocrite.
  • In "Jeffy's Parents!", Jeffy correctly and rationally tells Mario and Rosalina that Nancy is an abusive mother who hits and insults him and he flat out refuses to live with her. "Jeffy's Sister Returns!" shows him genuinely concerned for Feebee's safety and distraught when she gets run over. Given that Nancy is technically responsible for it by neglecting them and using Feebee's helmet as an ashtray, it's likely the incident ultimately convinced him that Nancy's a horrible mother.
  • In a lot of episodes, Cody would make references to being breast-feed by his mom. Of course, by typical viewing, this is seen as an example of his perverted side, but when you consider Cody was born on a leaf-day, which makes him technically two years old by the time one of these comments was made, perhaps his nutrient is also that of an infant.
  • Why does Goodman trust Mario with valuable objects even after they get misplaced only to be retrieved at the last minute? It might not actually be stupidity on Goodman's part. He makes his usual threats of violence and mutilation if he loses them, so he likely knows Mario could fail just so he has an excuse to mistreat his employee.
  • How is it that Mario is never able to pay his house payment on time? Well, considering all the things that tend to get destroyed or broken in the house on a practically constant basis, it's likely he doesn't have the finances necessary to keep up with that and paying Goodman.
  • Doubling as Fridge Horror: The roles that Junior, Joseph, and Cody take on in the Playtime series perfectly reflect and provide insight on just how awful each of their families are.
    • Junior:
      • Each Playtime video begins with him entering the scene while Joseph is cooking dinner, which soon devolves into him berating and abusing the latter. It's likely that Junior saw this attitude whenever Bowser would to the same thing to Chef Pee Pee.
      • Playtime Junior is rather prone to getting pissed off easily, not too different from his father lashing out over seemingly trivial stuff.
    • Joseph:
      • According to him, his mother would be abused by her alcoholic husband, which explains his role as the housewife who gets the Butt-Monkey treatment by Junior, who fittingly gets alcohol problems to go along with Joseph's dad's attitude.
    • Cody:
      • Both Junior and Joseph have had their other parent absent through most of their lifenote , meaning that they would naturally play the role of the parent that was present, leaving Cody, who has both, to play the child.
      • Cody's Parent Problem reveals that his parents are not above cheating on each other, while also getting pissed at the other partner should they cheat on them. As such, Junior would find himself cheating on Joseph with Barbie dolls with Joseph getting pissed when he finds out, only for him to do the same thing with Richard and Timmy, inciting anger from Junior.
      • Though not as severe as portrayed through Junior and Joseph, Cody's parents have been prone to arguing with each other from time to time.
  • In a few videos, Mr. Goodman has been said to have a large penis, in ancient Greece, large penises were seen as animalistic, barbaric, and borderline sub-human. so it makes since for Mr. Goodman to have a large penis, given that he has been shown to be quite animalistic, barbaric and borderline sub-human throughout the series.
