Buckets being able to survive Fatal Chomp was a glitch that occurred on one guy who promptly edited the wiki article. In reality, he’s just as vulnerable as anyone else. The original poster was lying out of his ass about Austin justifying it.


* Buckets is the only party member besides Brad who only gets knocked out when his head is chomped off. This is explained by [[WordOfGod Austin]] as Buckets having a sturdy bucket on his head.

* The two different endings in Joyful have slight variations on each other, where Buddy is seen with a child. You don’t see this child if you kill Bolo, and you do if Sweetheart does the job for you. In what’s either a case of TheBadGuyWins or extreme BlackComedy, it’s entirely possible Bolo… [[SpeedSex did the deed in literal seconds]] since Sweetheart comes in a couple seconds after he unzips.

It's a post-apocalypse world, no one In Universe would care that a minor drinks alcohol.


** Jack's bio merely states that he "grew up" after the Flash, not necessarily that he was born after it. He could very well not be an adult (the argument of him drinking alcohol could, as stated above, be justified in that liquor is probably the safer bet for hydration in post-apocalyptic Olathe). The kids in the orphanage all look to be about Buddy's age, which would make sense, as Buddy was indeed born after, or sometime very close before the Flash. The orphanage kids (and the ones in the Wally village, as well) could've been already-born babies when the Flash happened.

** Compare this to other Joy Mutants, however. Rex Thunderstorm placed a high value on his motorcycle, yet when he turns into a mutant he's mindlessly bashing his gang members to death with it like a club. It can be presumed that his deepest desire (something related to the motorcycle) was twisted and mingled with violent, primal thoughts, similar to the ones Salvation Blue felt in the cave before his own transformation.



* Without any women there's no hope for humanity. With that being evident, perhaps the people of Olathe's crazy antics are actually a way of coping with imminent extinction.

Things like the EWC and the Salvation Rangers roleplays suddenly make more sense when put into the context that the world is going to end anyways and nothing matters.
** According to WordOfGod, many people (such as Terry Hintz) changed their names after the Flash to better reflect their personalities as a coping mechanism.

Dialogue from Buzzo suggests that Dr. Yado is not actually Buddy's father


** With that in mind, when Brad confronts [[spoiler: Marty (his dad), his greatest desire is over-ridden by his next greatest of all desires: revenge on his dad]]. That is why he readily attacks [[spoiler: Buddy (despite claiming that he's out to protect her), even when she desperately shields Marty from Brad, Brad has to forcibly beat her up ([[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown by any means necessary]]) in order to continue to enact on his "desire".]] This is also why he is beyond reason, as even if you choose to spare him, Brad will carry out the deed anyway.

* From what little we've seen of Ms. Armstrong, Lisa seems to resemble her somewhat. According to a tweet by Dingaling, Marty wasn't always abusive. In fact, he might've been a normal well adjusted individual. Something happened to Ms. Armstrong however. What happened is a mystery, but the fact is she simply vanished awhile ago. This is most likely what caused Marty to change so dramatically. In some sick way, because of immense grief over the loss of his wife, Marty may actually be using Lisa as a substitute for his wife.

*** Terry, Rooster, and Birdie practice obscure forms of Shaolin kung fu that would most likely be laughed at in an actual fight.
*** Rooster practices Ya Quan, or Duck Style kung fu to reflect his [[AnimalMotifs chicken motif]].
*** Birdie is a master of Zui Quan, the drunken fist style. That makes him a Film/DrunkenMaster.

* A weird one for Lisa the First: The whole game can be seen as Lisa exploring options for escaping Marty and her own feelings, but no matter what she does, the only conclusion is that she will never escape him. But then you have the rope world, a single goal of moving upward that takes ridiculous patience to achieve.. and ends in a literal huge ''fuck you'' at the top.
