* Dakota's been confirmed as BrilliantButLazy, since he revealed to Cavendish that he only joined the Bureau to stop the Mississippi Purchase. Cavendish doesn't even know that the Mississippi Purchase existed, which means Dakora did his job well. He's doing pistachios because he's in AndThenWhat mode.

* It's been confirmed that the reason why Cavendish and Dakota have the pistachio mission is because Cavendish has messed up more than one serious mission, with NightmareFuel results. The horror is the implication that he doesn't even ''remember'' due to the other agents regularly having a ResetButton on hand. There is no opportunity for Cavendish to learn from his mistakes and improve; he is stuck with pistachios, possible forever.

* 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.

** 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.

* Milo and Melissa were worried that the llamas will tear her apart when she ends up trapped in pistachio gelatin.
* Melissa also could have easily smothered within that pistachio gelatin. It's a miracle she was able to outrun a llama stampede.

* The Bureau of Time Travel has the purpose of preventing disasters on the scale of WorldIII (and others), with the extinction of a plant being considered the lowest possible job. What would happen if they found out that a good portion of the disasters they were trying to prevent were probably at least partly the fault of the Murphy lineage? They could literally make Milo's whole line of descent ''never have existed''. And unlike the incident where PhineasAndFerb had major characters wiped from existence, there likely wouldn't be anyone in a position to prevent this. And even if they don't wipe out the family line, they're still probably going to make sure that Milo and Martin never interfere with events ever again; this spells some ''horrible'' thoughts.

* As at least one fanfic has pointed out, Max's interactions with Zack come off as very {{Gaslighting}}. Who's to say that Max wasn't manipulating Zack the entire time they both were in the band and Max's hold over Zack is still strong enough, despite time and distance, that Zack's memories of what happened are completely wrong?

** Kind of. Generally the idea of a company releasing the same game but with minor alterations is seen as plagiarism by some. Either way though, I feel as if the crowd, realistically, wouldn't be as cheerful as they were. Unless this whole thing was a TakeThat on how all boy-bands sound the same, which I can totally get behind.

** Presumably, the band would have still owned the rights to the song, or at least their record label would have. So, can you be accused of plagiarizing your own work?

* The Lumbermaxes song for the battle is "Saw Away at My Heart", which is literally the exact same as "Chop Away at My Heart", but with saw replacing chop. Considering that Zack's band did seem to be rather popular, did no one notice or call out on Max for this blatant plagiarism?

* The "Sounds of Disaster" CD seems a tiny bit out of character until you realize that the sounds of disaster would basically be ambient noise for Milo, like rain or singing birds would be for other people... meaning it's basically his version of those "relaxing nature sounds" [=CDs=].

* Melissa's missing teeth weren't the result of Murphy's Law, because Milo had no idea about the incident until Melissa pulled out her dentures. This may be why she's so willing to hang with Milo. She's seen that even without him, everyday life can still throw you a curve ball (or a pop fly in her case) so you might as well hang with the guy who's prepared to handle it.

[[AC:Murphy's Lard]]
* The setting for this episode, Lard World, is a theme park absolutely swimming in rendered pig fat. There's enough of it to run a ''submarine ride'', and that's just one of the attractions that uses lard instead of water. Assuming it isn't some kind of substitute, how many pigs have died to keep this place running?

[[AC: Worked Day]]
* Milo is normally okay with all the disasters in his life, even cheerful about it. When Melissa's dad asks him - twice - if he was at the fish hatchery that day (said fish hatchery was on fire), Milo gets visibly annoyed; a first for him. Considering his reputation, this is probably ''far'' from [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore the first time he's been accused of causing something he didn't]]. Even Milo's got to have his limits.

* SharedContinuity Fridge Brilliance. We have confirmation that Milo Murphy's Law is set in Danville (as evidenced by Vinnie Dakota's map in "Worked Day"). So, how many times has his bubble of bad luck prevented a certain mad scientist from achieving victory? How often have disappearing backyard inventions caused Milo injury or inconvenience? For all we know, he may have had encounters with dancing animation studios, Ferris Wheels that roll around free of support, people being ejected from a Mix-and-Mingler, strange green beams from the D.E.I. building downtown, random explosions in the vicinity of local pharmacists seen having confrontations with animals wearing fedoras. Any and all of these things and more could have caused Milo to experience heightened levels of bad luck, or have been caused by his bad luck in the vicinity.
