!!How does this house work?



!!How did these two come into being? Curious minds would like to know.



!!VagueAge or TimeAbyss?



!!Maybe build that house somewhere else?




to:

!!The show is dark but not ''that'' dark.




to:

!!NoExportForYou?



!!Shouldn't they have just asked the Tooth Fairies?



!!The Visit



!!That whole family reunion episode



!!Pint-Sized Adults?



!!That one extra



!!Ruby's socks




to:

**My guess is that it's ain't so much "yellow" but more like orange. "Mango orange", if I really had to guess. Or, actually, Ruby hates a specific shade of yellow.

!!Again, how do these two work?




to:

!!Random drumming

Grammar and spelling.


*** Weel, that's a NoTrueScotsman if I ever hear one, since the issue was "never show Ruby Gloom in the U.S.", not "never air it on generally-available U.S.-based stations". Plenty of "TV channels" these days are only available with a subscription and allow you to watch their shows any time you want, and there are some Canadian stations (not sure about Ruby Gloom's publisher) that can be viewed in the U.S. And Netflix ''is'' U.S.-based, I've seen plenty of people in Canada and South America[[note]]I'm not lumping Central America in with South America, I just haven't seen complaints from there, oddly enough[[/note]] complaining that their version of Netflix doesn't have enough of the things the U.S. version has.

rich idiot with no day job was disambiguated by TRS.


** In an early episode (while teaching Scaredy Bat to fly), Iris told Frank and Len to move over about three feet and, based on how far they moved (and assuming [[TwoOfYourEarthMinutes they're human feet]]), the humanoid characters are about five to six feet tall, give or take a little less than half a foot (so, about the normal range for adult humans). I figure their group just includes [[RichIdiotWithNoDayJob one or more Rich Idiots With No Day Job]], and/or are trust fund kids. ...My little sister actually thinks Ruby's the caretaker for the house and some or all of her friends. I ascribe to the former theory, and while I don't believe the latter it seems kind of plausible.

Just moving a misplaced comma. Nothing else to see here, move along.


* In "Unsung Heroes", where is the drumming at Gloomapalooza coming from? Scaredy usually plays drums for RIP, but on this occasion he's clearly watching from the top of the right speaker stack alongside Poe and, the drum kit is unoccupied!

** There are different types of intelligence. Musical aptitude doesn't necessarily require intellectual skills.

Added DiffLines:


* How did Frank and Len learn to play guitar in the first place? In fact, how did they learn to do ''anything''? They're known for a lack of intelligence, and yet, they managed to become very proficient at an instrument that requires they work together perfectly and have musical knowledge. The fact that they can even walk is a wonder, honestly.
