Fridge subpages are Spoilers Off. You Have Been Warned!
Fridge Brilliance
- Craig of the Creek: In the episode "Under the Overpass", there is revealed to be an overpass that separates North Herkleton and Herkleton Mills, and therefore separates the Creek into two parts. And in "The Other Side", Craig finally gives a Title Drop. This cements him as not just Craig of one half of the Creek or a part of the Creek, but Craig of the Creek, as a whole.
- Why did Bobby call himself Craig's very best friend in "Return of the Honeysuckle Rangers"? In the Season 1 episode "Ace of Squares" Craig gives Bobby the title 'Ace of Squares'. He also showed Bobby that despite the competitive nature of the kids who want to be Ace of Squares, the game can still be fun. He probably admires Craig for that, and associates this with friendship since he doesn't seem to have any other friends.
- The Green Poncho uses gag arrows that come with their own unique attacks which can take any opponent by surprise. In "Into The Overpast", we learn that Omar, who would one day take the Green Poncho mantle, used to be a practical joker who loved to make his friend laugh.
- Even when it's revealed that the previous Green Poncho also had Trick Arrows, it still makes sense why Omar was easily able to make his own. His past as a practical joker allowed him to easily repurpose his pranking skills into arrow-making.
- This show has shown excessive use of Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane. The mind-bending amount of ambiguity when it comes to dealing with anything potentially mystical or supernatural in the Creek seems up to eleven compared to almost any other show. Then you realize that this is the real magic. All the kids that come to the Creek are able to play whatever games they like, have whatever adventures they stumble upon, and bend physics for the sake of a good time. It doesn't matter whether it's real or not, what matters is if you have fun doing it.Kelsey: The creek doesn't have rules. That's what makes it better than anywhere else.
- Kelsey's boot still has some mud covering it in "Sparkle Cadet" after they defeated the Anti-Sparkle, because it’s a reminder for her. Not that she will Never Live It Down, but a gentle warning to not feed Mortimer so much birdseed again.
- In "Trick or Creek," we hear the legend of No-Neck Natthew, the kid whose head exploded after eating pop rocks and soda together. However, it's been scientifically proven that swallowing pop rocks and soda at the same time will not make you, or your head, explode, so clearly Natthew didn't die that way. So why did the witches say he did? Simple - as Natthew said, people have gotten the story wrong. Kids from years past probably saw his ghost without a head and ran away before learning the truth, then filled in the blanks themselves over the many, many retellings since then. For all we know, there might be several versions of how No-Neck Natthew died, and the witches were just repurposing a freaky urban legend they heard to scare Craig and his friends. Now as to how Natthew really lost his head, it's probably best not to speculate...
- In "Breaking the Ice", it makes sense why Wildernessa is always wearing her teddy bear mask in the Creek after learning about her past. Wildernessa reveals she was bullied in her school because of her love of animals and she despises those around her. When she goes to the Creek with Cheesesticks, she probably uses her mask as a way to hide her face from any kids who might recognize her from her school if by chance she ever ran into them in the Creek, which also explains why she calls herself Wildernessa instead of her real name, Vanessa.
- Eliza claims that as she and Xavier are both royalty, she wouldn't mind him, but the Sewer Queen makes no such comment, even though she is the only other kid with a royal title. This is because Xavier and Eliza both have a "royal status" in the creek due to their parents' wealth; but the Sewer Queen is like Kenneth, and won her title through respect and impressing the people around her with her actions.
- This even lines up with the way the current royals dress, the Sewer Queen in casual clothes, while Xavier and Eliza are always dressed to the nines in public.
- In "Capture The Flag Part V: The Game" Kelsey needing both Green Ponchos to able to defeat Maya makes perfect sense! Maya is almost a teenager with a ton of real-life experience, while Kelsey is still in elementary school and while being the resident fighter, she is fairly peaceful, and most of her practice is with clown dummies - not to forget the pressure that Maya had to be the best fighter. What Kelsey did was gain belief in herself to hold off Maya for so long instead of freezing up, and friends that helped support her to be able to get a clean shot.
- In "Capture The Flag Part V: The Game" Xavier starts taunting Craig in the finale because that's where his power comes from. Xavier isn't physically strong, but he has manipulated the people around him using his wealth and status. His words have great power, particularly shown with how he manipulated Maya into becoming the BFF and fighting as hard as she could. But unlike other people that he has manipulated, Craig does not have the same emotional attachment to Xavier or even the same respect/fear that kids on Xavier's side of the creek have, which leaves Craig with enough confidence and wit to snark back, leaving Xavier as the one off-balance.
- In "Creek Talent Extravaganza", Tony Mozafari claims to know the Rock's phone number only for Kelsey to call him and end up with someone named Dwayne. Of course, knowing who the Rock really is, would you be surprised that he is actually able to connect them to the Sing-A-Long Friends and get them to the Creek?
- In "Puppy Love", Wildernessa only wanting Craig's help to find Cheesesticks and not involving Kelsey and J.P. makes sense once you remember her past. In the past, the kids in her school made fun of her because of her love of animals, resulting in her despising everyone around her that isn't an animal. In the Creek, since she's always wearing a mask to conceal her face from the kids in the Creek, she doesn't have to worry about everyone recognizing her and she can be herself without people making fun of her and she's happy that the kids in the Creek, most notably the Stump Trio, admire her knowledge of animals and nature. She's afraid Kelsey and J.P. will lose their admiration for her and make fun of her like the kids in her school if they find out Cheesestick ran away from her, and while Kelsey and J.P. aren't those type of kids who would make fun of her, she doesn't want to take that chance even if Craig does trust them. Craig is the only person she trust to help her because he's the first person she opened up her past to and he wasn't judgmental towards her, although he did call her out her on hypocrisy on how she treated him. Along with her crush on him, she knows Craig is a good person who will stand up against bullies and she can trust that he won't lose respect for her by losing Cheesesticks.
- Throughout Jasmine's appearances she has a running gag of telling Bernard to 'mind his business'. in "A Tattle Tale" Craig decides the only way to teach the tattletales to difference between tattling and helping is by using his Uncle Darnell's advice of 'mind your business.' Darnell doesn't like to get involved in matters that don't concern him, Jasmine probably picked up that advice from her father.
Fridge Horror
- When Jason's status as The Mole for Craig is revealed, it suddenly has one thinking about how risky the situation he put himself in was. Xavier, Maya, and Xavier's other elite guard would not have taken it well at all if they had figured out Jason's secret. As the sleepover at Xavier's house showed, Jason spent a lot time with these people while alone. Imagine the paranoia Jason must have felt deep down inside, not knowing what would happen each time he was with these people alone if they ever did find him suspicious.
- Craig was about to lose Capture the Flag if not for the timely arrival of Deltron distracting Aggie with his song. But if we're to take Deltron's claim of being from the year 3030 at face value (which isn't that big of a reach considering how often the series employs Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane) then the only reason he'd show up would be to prevent something bad happening in the future. Exactly how bad would the future have turned out had Craig lost at that moment?
