History Fridge / ThePowerpuffgirls

* At the end of "Knock It Off", the girls are dying, but Prof. Utonium brings them back with love, stating that "love was the only ingredient the villain missed in creating your replicas" or something along those lines. While at first glance, this may sound like a cliched ThePowerOfLove line that doesn't make sense in terms of science, on a closer look, maybe it does, because to create the powerpuff girls, he used Chemical X along with sugar, spice, and ''everything'' nice. And love, of course, is nice. Maybe the villains left out love because they just tossed in all the nice things they could find and of course most people can't physically put love into a recipe but the professor could because he had a bag of everything nice on hold, and if you look closely at him pouring it in, you see a heart which likely means love.

* In the movie, the Professor names the girls and gives reasonable explanations behind them....except Buttercup's (it also began with "b"). Buttercup is the most abrasive of the three, what with her bad attitude and greater chance of hostility (just ask [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Fuzzy Lumpkins]]). In reality, buttercups look harmless, but they can do some crazy shit to you upon consumption and can even end up killing you.

* Of course, one of the more obvious cases of Fridge Logic is this: How can the girls even pick up things if they don't have any fingers?

* Blossom seems to be a BrokenAce (most likely a Type 2). In "Power-Noia", she is shown to base the whole worth of her life on her intelligence in her [[YourWorstNightmare worst nightmare]], and in "Not-So Awesome Blossom" she runs away from home after making a couple of simple mistakes, such as spilling tea and knocking over a toy tower.
** Even worse, in "Power-Noia" both Buttercup and Bubbles managed to combat and get over their fears of spiders and monsters in the dark respectively. Blossom however, only manages to win because she recognized it was all Him's game and not because grades (in kindergarten no less) aren't the single most important thing in determining who you are. Does that mean she still has that complex? It provides good FanficFuel for certain though.

* In one episode, Buttercup (who is in kindergarten) gets into a relationship with Ace of the Gangrene Gang (who is [[VagueAge at least]] a teenager). Granted, it's revealed at the end that [[spoiler: Ace was just using Buttercup so that she'd stop her sisters from beating up him and his gang]], but it's still ''a teenager dating a five-year-old-girl!''

* The girls apparently really ''do'' have no fingers, nose, toes, and have abnormally giant eyes instead of it just being the art style. If they were in real life they would be anywhere from [[UncannyValley a little unusual]] to [[HumanoidAbomination horrifying.]] Their powers only make it worse.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': One episode featured a zombie magician called Abra Cadaver who was killed when a little girl caused him to trip and fall into an iron maiden (which makes you wonder how the girl felt). He tries to do this to Blossom (since she looks like the girl), but somehow is switched, and re-killed with his arm hanging out of the iron maiden. What did it for this troper was the Fridge Logic that made you realize the fact that, when the theater was abandoned, they left the iron maiden there, with the magician's dead body still in it. Nobody came to remove it, and the magician was never buried. It was just left there to decay with the theater itself. It gets worse when you think about how the people of Townsville probably walked happily past that theater everyday, with the dead body still sitting on the stage.

** On that point: Him is always confident that he understands the girls' psychology. But remember: ''they aren't human'', at least normal ones. They may have something approaching [[BlueAndOrangeMorality Blue And Orange Mentality,]] where they have a thought process very different from normal humans. So even someone like Him who knows people very well may be thrown off by the PPG. Mojo Jojo, on the other hand, was also made with Chemical X, and so would be more likely to understand how they think.
** Him was honestly more of a, well uncle like feeling to him, this is what led to the fairly popular fan theory that he's their estranged gay uncle who the professor, not liking him, of course would only ever say ''Him'' instead of his name.

**** Grandfather paradoxes are not limited to preventing your own birth or causing your own death in the past. Anything you do in the past that would prevent you from traveling back into the past is a Grandfather paradox, including preventing yourself from becoming unnaturally smart and being able to build the time machine you used to travel back.

* I used to think Him was the best villain on ''ThePowerpuffGirls'' because, come on, how many 5-year-old girls have {{Satan}} as a regular member of their RoguesGallery? In fact, I often wondered why Mojo Jojo was considered their ArchEnemy and main threat (unlike on ''Anime/DemashitaPowerpuffGirlsZ'', where Him is promoted to BigBad, with Mojo reduced to a rather HarmlessVillain). Recently rewatching several of Him's episodes coincidentally right after TheMovie made me realize how much more evil and threatening and even cool Mojo is as a villain compared to Him. First of all, ItsPersonal with Mojo, which goes much farther towards ArchEnemy status than how powerful you are. Second of all, Mojo is actually much more successful at {{manipulati|veBastard}}ng the girls than Him, who repeatedly underestimates their ability to conquer the anger or fear he relies on to destroy them and then helplessly laments "[[EvilCannotComprehendGood But you were supposed to]]..." The girls always eventually beat Him at his mind games, but Mojo's mind games actually ''succeed'', so the only way they can defeat him is by [[ShutUpHannibal brute force]]. It's a scary thought, but Mojo Jojo is actually more evil and manipulative than {{Satan}}. ~ @/{{Lale}}

* Episodes where Mojo Jojo attacks or manipulates children are disturbing alone, but two particular instances come to mind.
** He spends most of the episode "Cootie Gras" carrying around Harry Pitt and using him as a shield to keep the girls from pummeling him. Considering how long this goes, Harry's parents must be worried sick.
