** Who's to say Steve Carlsberg isn't married to his brother and Janice wasn't from a previous marriage. The mother he was referring to in Cookies was the ex? Maybe he can remember Steve is his step-brother-in-law and Janice is his niece despite not remembering his brother.

*** At the end of the episode, the secret police declares the auction a success and show the auction audience their new pinata. So did everyone start bashing on an atomic bomb with sticks? It's a wonder the town has existed this long without suffering the same fate as their sister city in 1983.

* Hiram McDaniels is an 18 foot tall, 3600 hundred pounds five-headed dragon. He's introduced when he gets pulled over by a police officer and tries to pass himself off as Frank Chen while driving his stolen car. How did he even fit inside a regular sized car to begin with, or manage to drive the car without destroying the suspension?

** Then you remember that Cecil sometimes doubts his own existence, and as his double Kevin likely does the same. Perhaps the photos of themselves are meant to remind them that they are, in fact, real.

* In Episode 18, Cecil describes The Traveler's jacket as "similar to the marching band uniform of the Desert Bluffs Cacti prior to The Incident," save that The Traveler's jacket is not "scorched and soaked with blood." It's not until you re-listen to the episode after finding out what Desert Bluffs is like that you realize said scorches and blood may not come from the NoodleIncident in question...

** The community notices state that the secret police is holding the auction to buy party supplies, including "yellow cake and an armored pinata." Considering that yellow cake is a technical term for ''unrefined uranium'', they are clearly seeking to buy the components of an atomic bomb.

*Also in episode 48-Kevin discusses his personal enjoyment for the "rush starting a new job gives you," which is standard for the work-happy [=StrexCorp=] employees. That is, until we hear him go into detail about the joy when new employers [[AdultFear kidnap and sedate you, at any given time and in any given place, driving in random directions until you're eventually taken to your new office.]] How exactly does [=StrexCorp=] recruit people?

* In episode 6, The Drawbridge, Cecil reads off a list of horoscopes for the day. Scorpios apparently did something pretty bad, because the entire horoscope is Cecil cursing them and their families in a positively poisonous voice. Why the hatred of Scorpios? [[spoiler: According to a tidbit from one of the live shows, Steve Carlsberg is a Scorpio.]] Or perhaps it's the other way around.

What I deleted is creepy, but I wouldn\'t call it Fridge Horror. I\'d call it Troper Tales Jump Scare.


* This Troper was listening to Orange Grove (Episode 38) in the dark, at night, half-asleep. She'd just gotten to the part where Maureen starts to flicker out of existence, and her laptop lid slammed itself shut, plunging the room into darkness and nearly giving this troper a freaking HEART ATTACK.

* This might be just FidgeLogic but also in 19A and B the two shows mirror each other with even getting info from the local twin of people. Except for the ConspiracyTheorist letter. That's from Night Vale resident Steve Carlsberg on both... does this mean that he doesn't ''have'' a twin?
