Line #4 Fridge/Tutenstein

2	* In "I Did It My Way", after Tut changed reality to resemble his time, Cleo saw her mother as a slave driver and whipping at the builders. Cleo says that's "So not cool!"
3	* Tut never seems to mind when people call him a monster. Maybe that's because they called him that when he was alive, too.
4	** Unlikely because the meaning of the word "Monster" is American in origin. Also despite his mood swings and threats of horrible torture, Tut actually is a decent person. In life he's merely shown pranking other children and he willingly got himself ''killed'' in order to save one of his friends.
5	* This may be a stretch, but Tut has an accent - the gods don't. Cleo and Luxor understand both of them. This could be because the gods' speech (and perhaps Luxor's) is simply interpreted by the listener in whatever is the easiest way to understand (in the audience and Cleo's case: American English) while Tut is ''actually speaking'' English, which is why he has an accent. It's possible Tut himelf might hear them speaking in Ancient Egyptian, as when his friend Nutka visits him as a ghost, he too speaks English with an American accent. It seems unlikely they would speak to each other in English, so this is probably for the audience's sake. It might be the same way with the gods.
6	* When Tut loses his body parts it's usually a slapstick gag that just adds to the humour and makes sense; he's a mummified body so of course he's going to be falling apart from all that moving around, right? But another way to look at it is his severed limbs being a subtle ShoutOut to Tutankhamun's mummy. You see, when Carter was removing the jewellery from the boy king's body he had to amputate most of his limbs, including the legs, hands and the head to seperate it from his death mask, which was stuck in there with resin. The way his mummy was disjointed after this brings to mind Tutenstein losing his limbs usually from the bone joints or his neck.

9	* The show is kind of inherently {{Fridge Horr\|or}}ific, since the main character is a mummified UndeadChild, but things really get bad after the episode "The Comeback Kid". To sum up, Tutenstein casts a spell that restores him into a living flesh-and-blood boy, but chaos ensues when he forgets to shut off the magic artifact, and he ends up having to undo the entire spell and turn back into a mummy. And, since it was a one-time-only spell, ''he is now condemned to be a living mummy forever''. Think about the implications of that. His SecretKeeper Cleo is going to grow up and (presumably) move on in life, while Tut is stuck hiding in the museum, a ten-year-old child's mind in a mouldering corpse, [[NotGrowingUpSucks with no hope of anything better]]. And, since Cleo is usually the only thing standing between Tut and disaster, it'd be only a matter of time before he either [[BrokenMasquerade was discovered]] [[TheyWouldCutYouUp by the modern world]], pissed off the Egyptian gods again so they carried out their frequent threats of [[DisproportionateRetribution eternal damnation]], or lost [[MagneticPlotDevice the Scepter of Was]] to [[BigBad Set]] and doomed the rest of the world. Really, UndeathAlwaysEnds is looking pretty good at this point.
10	* While it's revealed [[spoiler: Tut died doing a HeroicSacrifice for his friend]], it never explained how Nutka died. It possible he could have been lynched by people he ripped off...
11	* Tut died to save his friend Kapta, but what are the odds that Kapta received a friendly welcome when he returned to tell the news of their king's death?
12	* It's revealed that Tutenstein died under falling rocks, but his body is extremely intact, which means he wasn't crushed to death. He could have died by head trauma, but it's just as likely he might have suffocated or bled to death.
13	* Unless the Was scepter granted him immortality (or at least HumanlikeAnimalAging) in addition to the ability to talk, Luxor won't be Tut's loyal servant forever. Cats don't live that long and it's never said how old he actually is.
