Fridge Brilliance

  • It seems pretty weird that Pete would consider making PJ use a handkerchief to be unreasonably controlling behavior in "Axed by Addition." After all, that's a fairly standard rule of politeness. However, in "Puppy Love", he says "sleeves are only for wiping your nose." So Pete doesn't believe in the rule himself. What he was actually showing remorse for was, much more reasonably, an act of hypocrisy.
    • This is highlighted in "Inspector Goofy" as when Goofy inspects the rooms belonging to Peg, PJ and Pistol and declares them to be perfect, but Pete is the sole exception. It would be Ruleof Funny but Pete has shown that he provides legitimately good advice, but he didn't take them to heart while his family did, which is why they succeed.
      • Not only that, Peg may have learned to be neat and tidy from her uncle who once worked in the military.
  • Goofy's family explains many of the Deus ex machina in the show. Since two of his family members were scientists, they may have discovered or created the cleanest air in the world and gave Goofy one as a present. Also, his Great Uncle is military, which meant that Goofy was taught some military training which in turn helped defeat the robbers in "Max-imum Protection" and "To Catch a Goof".

  • Goofy always causes disaster on Pete's plans. Some people think it's just innocent Goofy being his clumsy self, but given how much of a dick Pete can be to everyone, perhaps it's just good karma.

Fridge Horror

  • More than one social media comedian has pointed out that Goofy is the only classic Disney mascot with a biological child. Mickey and Donald are only uncles, but Goofy has a son who looks just like him, meaning he has had sex with a woman at least once in his life, as disturbing as that mental image may be.
  • Speaking of Goofy's wife, at some point she either left him and their son, or she died. And, if she died, given Goofy's habits of causing "domestic accidents", one must wonder how exactly she died.
  • In "Bringin' on the Rain", when PJ gets dizzy and collapses into the hole after Max stomps on Pete's tackle box, the fact that he could have collapsed out of fear of his punishments would be bad enough. But then, given how he was being treated earlier in the episode, it becomes immediately more horrifying if you consider that sometimes dizziness and fainting are symptomatic of dehydration.
