Nightmare on Goof Street

  • Pete believes that Goofy is a jinx in "The Good, The Bad and The Goofy" but why did he continue to scheme against him eventhough he's most likely aware that all his acts would backfire on him?
    • Greed, desperation and revenge makes him do dumb things. But mostly the revenge part as all he wants is to make Goofy suffer like he had when Goofy accidentaly costed him that football game.

  • Also in "Nightmare on Goof Street", why isn't the police tracking down the two criminals that stole Pete's house since they know that Pete was robbed?
    • Considering the amount of charges against Pete acccumulated over the series, they probably thought he's enough of an Asshole Victim to look the other way for now.
    • Plus, it turns out Pete signed a document that allows the criminals to legally own the house. The police know it, that's why they can't do anything and are spending their time critcizing Pete's judgement.

The elephant in the room

  • I can understand why PJ and Pistol can ignore Goofy's more destructive tendencies, but how can Peg ignore it? There are episodes where Goofy destroys all or some of their house, and Peg never seems to either care or hold a grudge or even a care about Goofy. How can Peg ignore that?
    • Well going by fan speculation, she's, well, a little too close to Goofy.
    • It's also because she know Goofy isn't malicious but Pete is.
      • She probably makes a good money with her job as a real estate saleswoman, so any damage to the house probably wouldn't matter because they have enough to pay it off anyways.

What does she see in that guy?

  • What on earth did Peg ever see in Pete that would make her want to marry him?
    • Pete might not have been that much of a phallus when they first met, considering how he has some kinda friendship with Goofy.

  • How come neither the seller nor the buyer knew that whoever buys the house next to Pete's own home will own half of Pete's house? If Pete knew that, he would have bought the other half of his house back.
    • It's very likely the title companies never required a land survey or none of the surveys they got were to establish property lines. It's also likely Pete didn't listen to title company even if they said something. You'd be surprised how often this happens in real life.
  • In the episode "Unreal Estate", Pete has to get one of Peg's homes painted and fixed up, so that Peg can show it to a certain buyer. At the end of the episode, it's revealed that the buyer was just going to tear down the house anyway, so why did Pete have to get it painted in the first place, especially with a very specific shade of pink?
    • To make Pete suffer.
    • To bring the house up to building code so the sale would be legal.
    • And for a final one, a buyer would pay more for a fully-functional house than a wreck, even if they were just going to demolish it. Peg may have ben pulling her own devious plan and had the sense to keep Pete as far away from the inner workings as possible.
  • In one episode, Pete builds his own RV and takes it to a convention. As he leaves the neighborhood, they have to repeatedly return to their houses because they forgot things. The last one is Pistol returning to their house to use the bathroom. So, Pete built an RV without a lavatory?
    • The RV is for all an intent and purpose, a poorly made vehicle with bugs that are truthfully fatal. Pistol didn't want to take a chance that the toilet could send her to the moon.

  • What is it with the alternating skin tones of the main characters? Most of the time Goofy, Max and PJ appear to be all black except for their faces. But often when they are shown shirtless or in sleeveless tops, their skin appears to be the same color as their faces. Pete, on the other hand, appears to have pale skin most of the time, even though in other cartoons (including both Goofy movies), he has black skin (or fur). The changes in skin tones always kind of bugged me as a kid.
