History Fridge / MiloMurphysLaw

* Milo's thrilled about the fact that the betting pool of items from people's lunches which Melissa won for him and Zack includes Bradley's Vitamin C tablets, echoing Bradley himself by mentioning that it's "cold and flu season." This may be a StrangeMindsThinkAlike gag, but it's also [[CrazyPrepared very characteristic]] (and completely understandable, given the likelihood that Murphy's Law makes him more likely to catch any illness going around).

* A small one: in the flashback where Milo and Sara eat ice cream, Murphy's Law causes Sara's scoop to drop off its cone. Milo's ice cream, which he shares with her, is in a cup, presumably to avoid exactly this kind of thing.

* Sarah's hair decs are four leaf clovers.

** Being abducted by an Orangutan has it's own problems. Sumatran and Borneo folklore says that Orangutans are sexually attracted to human woman. This isn't scientifically true, but then again neither is half the stuff in this universe.

* Melissa considers being abducted by an orangutan (which is quite capable of severely injuring or even killing her if it got angry enough) safer than going bowling with Milo. The implications are...unsettling.

** While it's less he can use Murphy's Law to his advantage (since, as is pointed out under FridgeBrilliance, you can't) and more he can just put his bad luck to good use, the fact that he can use his awful luck to his advantage is a tad unsettling.

* This episode raises two things. One is that Milo can cause bad luck to happen to someone by cheering them on and another is that Milo might be able to abuse his bad luck in some cases. Essentially this means he can ''use Murphy's law to his advantage.''

* Imagine how much a StepfordSmiler Milo would be if he weren't ThePollyanna. His lines include saying "sticks and stones can damage your vital organs, so always wear body armor" and "what doesn't kill you only makes you late for school" while smiling.

* Melissa stopping the rest of her class from shouting out their bets until she can get her notebook to write them all down at first just seems like a trait of the typical HighSchoolHustler but when we find out about her ForgetfulJones tendencies, this takes on a whole new meaning, namely that she wouldn't have been able to keep track of what she was owed/would owe if she lost without writing it down.
* In "Sunny Side Up", Milo has a group photo of firefighters in his room. Considering Milo is a WalkingDisasterArea, he and those firefighters are very familiar with each other for obvious reasons.

* Milo putting an egg in his pocket in "Sunny Side Up" is random and has no context or reasoning at the time besides setting up for a later (somewhat predictable) ChekhovsGun. But this is [[CrazyPrepared Milo]]. He probably realized at some point that having an egg on him, alongside all the other stuff he has, would be important, and pocketed it while they were at a point where they had many spare eggs.
** In the same episode and same scene montage, why did they have Milo be the one to drop the egg each time (occasionally with Zack's help)? Him being a WalkingDisasterArea should spell doom for any egg dropping device he touches... ''which is the point.'' They want to make sure of their egg holder's toughness, and know that Milo will be in the vicinity for the real drop, so they put him as close to the egg holder as possible to find one that counteracts his own bad luck.

* Imagine how much a StepfordSmiler Milo would be if he weren't ThePollyanna. Hell, his lines in the first episode include saying "sticks and stones can damage your vital organs, so always wear body armor" and "what doesn't kill you only makes you late for school" while smiling.
* Milo's mere presence, even at a ''distance'', can cause car crashes. And the intro sequence shows the town basically collapsing around him. Has he ever indirectly ''killed'' anyone?

* As Zack points out, it's a miracle that Milo has survived as long as he has.

* People complain that WeirdAlYankovic's voice sticks out when voicing Milo. However, Milo's character is built around having bad luck. It could be possible that this bad luck could be the reason he has such an awkward adult voice as a child.
