History Headscratchers / TheBraveLittleToaster

* How come Lampy gets a somewhat better treatment from the Cutting Edge appliances compared to the rest of the gang? While his friends are victims to the tricks present during the musical number, the only "bad" things to happen to Lampy are being dragged around, "jizzed" on by the computer and blinded by the other lamps. He even gets carried around at one point by a mixer.

* Does anyone know what exactly that huge speaker/projector thing in Rob's apartment was? Or better yet, what appliance was it based off (if an appliance like that even exisited)?
* How does a computer that uses tubes catch a virus? I can understand most things connected to the internet getting a virus due to their more sophisticated wiring and interface, but how does a computer like Wittenstein get a virus?

** I don't think she meant "him" specifically should have locked the door. I think she was referring to him and his family as a whole should have done so.

* "The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars." Exactly what were those writers/producers smoking, and where can I get some?
** Thomas M. Dische wrote it as a book, believe it or not. The same man who wrote the original story. As far as I've seen, any original efforts by the makers of the movie only served to make it ''slightly'' less nonsensical. I haven't read the book, but I know that one of the ''balloons'' leads them to Mars in that. In the movie, a supercomputer is the one who gives them the coordinates, and a calculator is the one who memorizes them.
** Oh, and also, why could those balloon speak? In the first movie, the only objects that were alive were electronics and cars--things that ran on some kind of energy. Why on earth are the balloons able to talk then?
*** Well, the electrical devices could still move without being plugged in... it isn't like they have chargers or batteries. Seems to me like there are no consistent rules about energy being required for consciousness (see entry above) though, yeah, ''balloons,'' with faces and opening mouths? They really are just rubber bags with gas inside. What the hell else is alive in this universe? Are trash bags alive? Piles of kitty litter? Books?
**** A living pile of trash...does [[{{Pokemon}} Trubbish]] count?
** Drinking game for ''Mars'': Take a shot every time they flagrantly break the laws of science. Don't take a shot if it was a law of science already broken in the first movie though, you would die of alcohol poisoning if you tried that.

* Why did Rob's girlfriend admonish him for forgetting to lock the door to the cottage? He was like 5 the last time he was there, it's not like it was his responsibility. And no, she didn't say it sarcastically.

* Here's something that I've always wondered since ''To The Rescue'' was released. Why was everyone only mad at Radio about the tube being broken? He was originally the one who was holding it and Ratso took it from him first in order to state that ''he'' was the one that found it. That's where the tug-a-war between the pair began. And it takes two people (or a rat and an appliance) to fight. If either one of them stopped and just surrendered the tube, things would have been fine. Yet, only Radio gets scolded by the entire group for his behavior and the accidental destruction of the tube while Ratso serves as a KarmaHoudini and doesn't even get a slap on the wrist for his part in the argument. Why does Radio get all the blame and no one points out that Ratso was being just as bad?

** [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory An incinerator?]]

* Seriously, why does everyone treat Elmo St. Peters as a CompleteMonster? He's a nice guy! He's only a villain from the appliances' point of view. Sure, he does kind of rip off that one customer (that was ''not'' a new blender), but he's just doing his job. He's not sadistic like [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Sid]] and clearly has no idea that the junk he's ripping apart is alive.

* At [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZmSE87CJpM the movie's climax]], Rob is trapped under a pile of junk as the conveyor belt moves him closer to the trash compactor, until the toaster bravely jumps into the compactor's gears and stops it. Then Chris tells him to get down, and Rob slips out slightly from under the wreckage. It seems to imply that he escapes on his own, which makes no sense. Also, how did he even find the toaster?

** Indeed, it is a lamp, as can be seen later in the song when she shines light onto lampy. It is simply a very modernistic standing lamp.
