** Just because Rod is gay doesn't mean he watches gay porn. Rod is in the ''closet''. Maybe he watches straight porn to keep up appearances. He might even be trying to forcibly change his own sexual orientation, which is unfortunately something that some closeted people actually try to do in RealLife.

*** I think that was just a metaphor for "Kate is having bad ideas at the same time as Princeton"

** It was just compression for time. Nicky isn't gay and therefore can't fulfill Rod's wishes, but Rod can still find someone ''else'' to be his partner and Nicky can still be his friend in the meantime. It all works on unreasonably quickly, but that's just RuleOfFunny.

** Princeton often fails to think things through. Maybe he finds purpose in the school sometime after the musical ends. Or maybe he just feels that the school isn't specific enough to his interests and talents. It's a big deal to Kate because she's a monster herself and she's faced discrimination, but Princeton only knows about the issue second-hand. Maybe he's searching for something more specific to his own experiences.

*** But then how was Kate Monster (and presumably Gary too) able to see, hear, and interact with them?

[[folder:Princeton's Purpose]]
* So, the show ends with Princeton thinking that he's discovered his purpose, only for everybody to shut his idea down flat. But, my question is why does he never take into consideration that his purpose in life was to help open up Kate's monster school? That seems like a logical thing to believe.

* In the opening for the song "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" Kate Monster accuses Princeton for being racist when he asked if Kate is related to Trekkie, namely asking him whether if Princeton thought that all Monsters looked alike. Wouldn't the fact that Kate Monster and Trekkie Monster have the same last name be more of a reason why he would think of such a thing? But then again the purpose of the whole song was to go against PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad so that was probably the point.

** Most free porn sites are covered up with advertising--even more so than most sites--which is how they pull revenue. Trekkie must have some lucrative marketing skills.

** As a rule, 'Oriental' is only for things. 'Asian' is the preferred term for people. So a woman can possess 'a vase of Oriental origin' and 'attractive Asian features'.

*** The Monsters are the puppets with fur. Nicky, Rod, Princeton and Lucy are all "human" puppets; Kate and Trekkie are Monsters (who I think we are to assume have a SpeciesSurname); and the Bad Idea Bears are...[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin bears with bad ideas]].

*** The thing about slurs is that, whether the person using them realises it or not, it comes from a position of the dictionary definition of racism. Slurs, by their very nature, are names that were chosen (or co-opted) by a majority for a minority for the express purpose of at best segregation and at worst dehuminisation. Brian, when saying 'oriental', may not ''mean'' it as a slur, but that doesn't change the fact that it ''is'' considered a slur by many Asians and NWordPrivileges don't apply.
