* Pop's wife and Cub's mother. The trope MamaBear is named that for a good reason. None of the characters who come back to life after each episode have done any HeroicSacrifices yet. In other words, ''there's a possibility that the reason she never comes back is because she died for somebody else's sake.''

* In ''A Hard Act to Swallow'', Sniffles swallows an ant who remains unharmed in his stomach, which seems void of any acid. Real life anteaters crush ants against the palate their mouths before swallowing them and don't produce their own stomach acid, instead relying on the formic acid of ants for digestion. This tells us that Sniffles is both inexperienced in eating his natural prey and lacking his essential nutrients because of it. No wonder the ants always get the upper hand over him.

* Speaking of which, most bears in real-life are usually rather gentle creatures (except to their prey) but are known to become extremely violent when provoked. Now put that knowledge together with the fact that [[ShellShockedVeteran Flippy]] plays {{BearyFriendly}} as straight as an arrow but as soon as he hears something related to his pastime in the war, he goes batshit crazy and kills everybody.

* In Happy Trails Part 2: Jumping the Shark, [[PricklyPorcupine Flaky]] [[NiceJobBreakingItHero accidently deflates the boat that was offered by Lifty and Shifty]], resulting in their deaths. In revenge, Flippy, Lumpy, Handy, and Sniffles ''kill her''. However, the entire thing is offscreen and we don't see what happens. Considering this show is infamous for its {{Gorn}}, it makes you wonder [[NothingIsScarier what was so horrible about Flaky's death that]] ''[[NothingIsScarier it couldn't have been shown]]''.

* Nutty's obsession with the heart-box in "Sucker for Love". At first, his imagining getting babies with that thing is something funny because of his possible [[ManChild childishness]] (the Man-part is [[VagueAge debatable]]). But wait, if he knows about water breaking, then that means he doesn't believe in the stork, and that means that he imagined [[spoiler: ''[[{{Squick}} he had sex with the box]]'']].

** Fliqpy has killed Flaky a handful of times prior (including in his debut episode), which leads to the likely credence that he either doesn't recognize her in her bloated form, or he doesn't see her as a threat and is not a target in some form of BlueAndOrangeMorality or perhaps EvenEvilHasStandards.

* In ''Swelter Skelter'', Nutty seems to be MadeOfPlasticine when his head completely breaks open after being tripped. Sugar can make your bones weak if you consume too much, and he eats more sugar in a day than the average person would in a year.

* It makes sense that Disco Bear didn't seek medical attention in "Put Your Back Into It"; seeing that their hospital's only surgeon is [[TooDumbToLive Lumpy]], who only ends up making things ''[[FromBadToWorse worse]]'', he probably knew he would've died sooner seeking medical attention rather than avoiding it (bonus points for having previously been the victim of a botched surgery at Lumpy's hand in "A Change of Heart").

* Yes, Lumpy is a VillainProtagonist in the episode ''We're Scrooged!''. No, there's nothing in the fridge regarding his killing Toothy for the sake of selling his body parts, that's horrible from the start... But there's horror regarding the fact that ''he has'' '''''customers''''', including one who doesn't even show concern when he sees a person ''lose his eye'' right in front of him. Would Lumpy even have recieved a [[Main/{{Prison}} relatively tame punishment]] if unluckiness hadn't gotten him?

* The moral at the end of ''A Bit of A Pickle'' is far more cryptic than usual: "We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are." Keep that into account and think about this: Lammy sees Mr. Pickels as a psychotic killer, but everyone else sees him as a regular pickle. If Mr. Pickels truly isn't real...

* In "Take a Hike", all the characters are horribly miserable and need food and water badly. Petunia finds filthy water and starts drinking it. [[NauseaFuel that's bad enough]], but the fact that Petunia is TerrifiedOfGerms makes this ''even worse'' meaning she had ''to be really desperate to drink, even if she had to break character''.

* [[SuperPoweredEvilSide Fliqpy]] has a habit of killing everything around him, however in ''Party Animal'', he doen't kill Flaky, and probably doesn't kill Cub either in ''A Vicious Cycle'' (though it's still possible he did). While you can mistake for a ShipTease for Flaky and Flippy flipping back for Cub, the fact that Flaky is suffering from an allergy and The Mole was also spared in the former imply that [[SelectiveSlaughter Fliqpy will only kill those whom he believes can harm him]].
