** Um, what? I was born in 1997, lived in the Illinois suburbs almost my whole life, and I still call my mother "Ma". It's maybe not as common as "mom" or "mother", but people do still call their mothers Ma sometimes.

* Why is Junior talking like a pioneer child instead of using modern language?
** Watch [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTiehXR8kKg Handy Manny's School for Tools: The Right Wrench]] (Go to 1:10 and 2:15) notice Junior calls his mother "ma" instead of "mom", "mommy", etc. But if you read the "little house on the prairie" books yes Laura Ingalls calls her mother "ma" as well. And children in pioneer years (late 1800s and early 1900s) call their parents "ma" and "pa". Also pioneers from the southern states also use it. But it makes no since because his parents don't have southern accents (or himself) and Lefty said "why didn't you listen to your mother?" (if Lefty went with the "ma" bit it will make since). Why is Junior saying "ma" like a little pioneer boy? All need is for Junior to call Lefty (his father) "pa".

[[http://images.wikia.com/handymanny/images/6/63/Dusty_unable_to_Perform.png The scarf in "Manny and The 7 tools" when she lost her voice.]] Okay notice the scarf is wrapped around her blade area. Imagine she would ruin the clothes it makes me wonder that whenever Dusty wears something.

* In "Paint Job" we were the tools in the water? Manny won't even allow them near the water because "they will rust".
* [[MotherBear Why was Lily preventing her own son from his job?]] Junior will not scratch his metal. Did Lily scratch her's in the past and she was afraid of it? Lily needs to stop with that nonsense.

* Dusty is a saw, right. She was seen wearing clothes at times and how is she able to wear them without damaging them?

** There's Lily and Lefty then their son Junior. How do they even have them? Do they get pregnant then give birth like mammals? yes probably since they have human qualities.

** Turner danced three times through out the series (the two were physically him dancing while the third time was a photo from the past) Turner was so good it's like he got his training from a choreographer. Dusty danced ballet in the talent show episode even during the Halloween episode she was a ballerina.

** So there far have been three female tools: [[http://images.wikia.com/handymanny/images/9/9d/Lily.gif Lily]], [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110905160312/handymanny/images/d/d0/Handy_manny_micro_char_squeeze2.jpg Squeeze]], and [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111027184115/handymannypedia/images/0/0e/Handy_manny_micro_char_dusty2.jpg Dusty]]. Notice that both Lily and Squeeze have eyelashes but Dusty doesn't. Why is that?

* Mr. Lopart comes off as a stereotypical white guy. You know, nasally voice, uncool, and not very good at anything.
** He's also one of the only non-mexican characters, or at least one who doesn't speak Spanish. Nice implications...
* I can't be the only one who noticed all the racial/social stereotyping. The Hispanic is a general handyman. His grandfather is shown to be quite lazy. The male owner of the candy store is fairly effeminate. The local school has an Asian principal and a black coach. Nice for the kiddies.

*** He's physically paid for a couple of things, from Kelly and others. As far as Kelly goes, I believe he has a monthly tab with her; I believe one of the episodes has him paying it, though I may be thinking of something else.

He always buys from Kelly. Maybe he's got a tab going.
** On a related note, has he ever once been paid for his [[BuffySpeak handyman-ing]]?
Probably off-screen. That way, the amount won't ever be dated. (Inflation Marches On?)
