** In ''Wrath of the Wicked Wedgie Woman'', it's revealed that the ring was recalled because for unknown reasons, it worked the opposite of its wielder's intentions on women. UnfortunateImplications aside, this might seem like jumping the gun to younger readers, but George and Harold used it on their already-SadistTeacher and [[GoneHorriblyWrong look what happened]]. Now, what about all the other kids who had one? Chances are, the first thing a lot of them would use it on is their parents, who they typically have a [[AdultsAreUseless very low opinion of]]. All of a sudden, there'd be an outbreak of [[AbusiveParents Abusive Mothers]] all across the country because the kids demand that their every whim be catered to. That wouldn't go unnoticed and would be a pretty damn good reason to recall them.

* Book 12 received a lot of praise for revealing that [[spoiler: Future Harold]] is gay without making a big deal about it. [[spoiler: Future George meanwhile has a wife that is only ever referred to as "Mrs. Beard"[[note]]Dav later confirmed that said wife was actually named "Lisa"[[/note]]. "TheBeard" of course is a term referring to a woman that has married a gay man.]] [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation Have fun with that, fanfic writers!]]
* The fact that women do the opposite of the instructed by the ring would make a lot of sense if it was an intentional feature because the makers believed AllMenArePerverts, but when they realized that sort of behavior can't be tied down to one gender, and so they recalled it and didn't mention it, or if it did they called it a "mistake", because they realized that feature was a huge failure in design.
* In the fourth book, when Harold tells Captain Underpants to change his name because Poopypants says so, the Waistband Warrior insists that he "doesn't take orders from anybody", but is immediately quick to take an order from George. This might be HypocriticalHumor, or a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome proving how loyal he is to his allies, but doesn't let his enemies push him around. However, keep in mind that when George and Harold first hypnotized Mr. Krupp, they told him to obey their every command.
* Professor Poopypants in the books has no clear accent when speaking, but the movie adaptation gives him a [[HerrDoktor heavy German accent]]. Given his country of birth is given as "New Swissland," depending on how close the country is to Switzerland (ridiculous names aside), it's likely that Poopypants would've grown up with some level of fluency in a Swiss German dialect.

** For starters, it's a ''consumer-level MindControlDevice''. All you have to do is trick or force the poor victim into looking at it for a few seconds and snap. JustThinkOfThePotential...
