* As the show went on, Courage talked less and less and his speech was often just gibberish. We also see Courage take plenty of hits to the head during the series. Could it in those later episodes that Courage is suffering from brain damage that has inhibited his ability to talk?

* Katz is an AxCrazy SerialKiller whose actions rarely have reason or logic, but here comes one Fridge Brilliance: Katz is a cat, and several species of cats in RealLife have a potential murderer instinct and are among the few species of animals that kill because they enjoy it. Sound familiar to Katz, right?

* Benton Tarantella's character page describes him as "An evil zombie director who puts his "actors" in a position where they'll listen to everything he says where they can be Killed Off for Real on camera"...So, Benton has the honor of being the very first children's cartoon villain to make [[SnuffFilm Snuff Films]]

Added DiffLines:

* As noted elsewhere, "Ball of Revenge" has Eustace complaining about Muriel giving Courage a newly-made blanket - his argument underscores the fact that he resents Courage because he's Muriel's favorite, as he said in "The Tower of Dr. Zalost".

* In the debut of the character "Shirley the Medium," toward the episode's end Eustace learns a lesson in compassion after hallucinating a reflection of his upset younger self in a mirror crying for a hat to shade his head from the sun and being moved to actually sacrifice his trademark hat to the vision. There's spectacular symbolism in that scene...... you have to learn to see yourself in the less fortunate.

* The ending of "The Great Fusilli", has Courage playing with puppets of his owners. The scene is a little funny at first...until you realize that he's basically playing with their ''dead bodies''. It gets more and more disturbing the more you Think about it. [[SanitySlippage Maybe his insanity is the result of all the paranormal catastrophes always causing him.]] No wonder he snapped!

* At the end of "The Great Fusilli", Courage takes home Muriel and Eustace's puppet bodies and plays with them to pretend they are still alive. He's living the rest of his life pretending that his dead owners are still alive... with their bodies! The thought gets more disturbing the more you think about it.

** Made worse by the fact that earlier on in the episode, Courage found Fusilli's storage containing puppets hanging from the ceiling. Those puppets? They are '''hanging corpses,''' gathered from all his previous performances.

*In the episode "Perfect" the eel in the bathtub gives Courage a pep talk by telling him "There's no such thing as Perfect. You're beautiful just the way you are." When Courage accepts this, the perfection obsessed schoolmarm ceases to exist because there's no such thing as perfect!

* Katz is an AxCrazy SerialKiller whose actions rarely have reason or logic, but here comes one Fridge Brilliance: Katz is a cat, and has checked that several species of cats in RealLife have a potential murderer instinct and are among the few species of animals they kill because they enjoy it. Sound familiar to Katz, right?

* Although the very ending of "Remembrance of Courage Past" was PlayedForLaughs, we now know that Courage's parents are still alive. This is of course a good thing until you realize that they have no idea what happened to Courage or that he was adopted by a kind woman. For all they know, he starved to death after being left in the garbage by himself as an infant. Now, imagine being forcibly taken from your infant child and spending the rest of your life not knowing what became of him. That's extremely depressing.

* Courage jumping to the conclusion that Kitty is evil and being horrified when she takes off her mask for the first time in "The Mask" makes a lot more sense when you remember the only other humanoid cat he knows is [[CompleteMonster Katz]], who Kitty even somewhat resembles with the same fur color. The theme of the episode deals a lot with Kitty's belief all dogs are evil because the only ones she knows are {{Complete Monster}}s as well. Courage's assumptions of Kitty's true nature are partially blurred by his own encounters with Katz just like Kitty's are by her history with Mad Dog and his gang. In the end, they both learn the other really wasn't evil to begin with.
** Other than that, Kitty spend most of the first half of the episode LITERALLY beating the sh*t out of Courage, when all he was doing was minding his own business. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=kusyDPg-wGY#t=14s His scream reaction to her identity]] was a TWO PARTER, if that needs any more indication.
