* Given the cyborg gym instructors from "The Gym" are using humans to fuel themselves, how many people had they killed before Dan interfered? And who created the cyborgs in the first place? Were they killed when the cyborgs TurnedAgainstTheirMasters?

\n* In "Mall Santa", why would the boss consider Chris returning from break worse than Dan and Santa fighting? Besides RuleOfFunny, Chris wandering off could have risked blowing her cover as Agent Snowman.

If you look close enough when Chris eats the burger on the car, you can see that also has cheese, and also has vegetables when he loses it later in the scene. No matter which burger was which, Jeff still got the order wrong.


* The plot of "Burgerphile" involves Dan getting back at the Jerkass employee who refuses to admit he screwed up Dan's order. A FreezeFrameBonus however shows that the order was correct, Chris just took the wrong burger (He ordered one with cheese but was eating a plain hamburger). So Dan by the end of the episode accidentally ruined the career of someone who was completely in the right.

\n* In the first episode, though this is just a dream sequence, Dan has a point to be suspicious of this woman who somehow knows his name, because the IRS would probably also know his name too.

* In “Burgerphile”, Chris points out Santa Monica is a close town but Dan still says she’s gone forever. This seems lazy of Dan until you remember how bad of a condition his car is in. He probably can’t drive for twenty minutes in that thing.

* In "Dancing," Chris mentions Elise's parents signed her up for a lot of activity-based classes like skeet shooting and martial arts. Given the fact that [[spoiler: Elise Sr. is in the Mafia]], it makes sense that Elise's mom would want her daughter to have all sorts of combat skills in case she ever [[spoiler: joined the "family business"]].

* "Lemonade Stand Gang" has the eponymous gang of hooligans harrass Dan to the point where he is afraid to leave his apartment. While that is, itself, fairly scary, keep in mind most of Dan's diet appears to be fast food--his fridge is full of expired goods, and he eats out at Burgerphile enough that his glove box is completely filled with their receipts. With the gang harrassing Chris too, Dan's supply line was essentially cut off; without intervention, those kids could have starved Dan within his own home.

** Different distribution of fat and muscle between humans and canids? Higher metabolism as an inherent perk of being half-beast? Or maybe [[AWizardDidIt it's just a supernatural transformation of which we aren't supposed to know the ins and outs]]. Short answer: magic, and/or freaky deaky werewolf powers.

* Part of why Dan couldn't hear Chris correctly in "Art"--hearing "naked Chris day" instead of "make it a Chris day"--might have something to do with the fact that Dan was driving at the time he called Chris. We even hear a car pass by on Dan's side of the call right when Chris says "make it a Chris day,"; it's subtle, but it would make it harder for Dan to hear Chris correctly In-Universe.

* Elise Sr. claims Dan's deviled eggs "taste exactly like the ones [her] mother made, only for special occasions" and that she "took the recipe to her grave". Dan, of course, stole the recipe from his grandma on her deathbed. It could be possible Elise Sr. is Dan's aunt, making Elise his cousin.

*This episode could possibly be inspired by the [[http://www.simplypsychology.org/robbers-cave.html Robber's Cave experiment]], or the realistic conflict experiment. Specifically, the part of the experiment where the kids revolted against the instructors (The horrifying part is that the kids in the real experiment were signed up for it).

* in "Vegetables," why do the burgers Dan passes out to people look so plain? There was only the buns, patty, and what looked like some ketchup. Dan doesn't like vegetables (and was protesting them in that episode anyway), and he can't have cheese or other dairy products; buying a bunch of burgers the way he likes them ensures that if he gets hungry he can just pick any random one to eat as opposed to checking each one for cheese.

** Why would Dan think his classmates he hate him? Dan said his adolescence was "[...] constant ridicule and that was just high school." implying that his home-life wasn't too good either. If you take it a step further, whatever it was, it caused him to be wary of people and assume the worst which in turn made him assume every minor thing his classmates did was a sign they were out to make his life a living hell. I mean, would it be any different than he acts now? Or since they loved his revenge schemes so much and found them entertaining, they could have been intentionally provoking him for [[ItAmusedMe their own amusement]].
