History Fridge / Recess

* The ChristmasEpisode takes place after "The Voice," complete with references and a flashback. Yet Mikey's singing performance in "The Voice" is at the Spring Fling assembly. A typical school semester runs from September to June – Christmas [[CaptainObvious obviously]] never comes after spring. So if the whole series takes place while the main cast is in fourth grade, how can Mikey have sung at the Spring Fling before singing at the Christmas pageant?

* Hypnosis cannot force people to do things against their will. Thus in the episode "The Hypnotist", when Principal Prickly is hypnotized into thinking hey's a six-year-old, it reveals a subconscious desire to want to be a kid.

* In the episode "The Challenge" at Fifth Street Elementary (Where Prickley's brother's the principal) he meet the gang's doppelgangers at the school. In the episode after it, "Dance Lessons," Spinelli does ballet and meets some doppelgangers of the Ashleys named the Megans. Even though we don't see them in the previous episode, it's safe to assume they attend Fifth Street.

* In ''WesternAnimation/RecessSchoolsOut'', the film ends with one of Dr. Benedict's lackeys offering to turn state's evidence for the trial; Randall, overhearing this, remarks "Geez, what a squealer!" This might look like a simple case of HypocriticalHumor, but the series reveals that for all of his love of snitching and tattling, Randall is ''completely'' devoted to Miss Finster, and would never think of betraying her. That's why he's so disgusted with the idea of Benedict's minion ratting him out--he would never do the same to her.

* Mikey's huge size and BigEater tendencies aren't just a funny contrast to his [[GentleGiant gentle]], sensitive personality, but actually fit with it. First of all, it makes sense that a poetic personality like his should relish all sensual pleasures, including food. Secondly, highly sensitive people are often prone to emotional eating and to excess weight as a result.

* In the episode "The Challenge" at Fifth Street Elementary (Where Prickley's brother's the principal) he meet the gang's doppelgangers at the school. The episode after it is when Spinelli does ballet we meet some Ashleys doppelgangers named the Megans. Since we don't see them in the previous episode, it's safe to assume they attend Fifth Street.

* A lot of one time characters disappear without an explanation while some leave at the end of an episode. It's possible Geldman the Bully scared them away, like he did to the kid at the beginning of "Gus' Last Stand."

* In Recess is Cancelled TJ refuses to do anything about the governments plan to cancel recess on the grounds that it's unpatriotic and that's the one thing he'd never do. So basically TJ would never fight or go against the US government, no matter how wrong he thought they were, because of his blind loyalty to his country. Let's hope he grows out of that mentality.

* "The Library Kid" has this gem from Gretchen: "Drive her into the [[{{Existentialism}} existentialists]]! There's Theatre/NoExit!"

* In "Hustler's Apprentice" Hustler Kid does not want Gus to sell counterfeit passes because they might get a kid in trouble, which would make sense, but in "The Ratings Game" Hustler Kid had no problem selling kids fake IDs and Social Security Cards, which could just as easily get kids in trouble, if anything fake IDs would get a kid in FAR more serious trouble then a fake hall pass, so when you remember that, Hustler Kid unintentionally comes off as a hypocrite.

** Possibly the kids who had summer school went to a different school for that. There are some districts that just send all the summer school kids to one school.
** They might not have summer school at all; my elementary school didn't.

** Where I grew up, most parents didn't allow their children to wear contacts until they were around fourteen or fifteen.

** I think they'd have to wait until the end of the day to see if any children who didn't get sick showed up. The gang showed up so school was back on.

* Considering Gus's dad is in the military, he's more than likely going to move away from Third Street at some point and leave the best friends he's ever had, like he's had to several times before.

* The entire school changing their names to Ashley in "First Name Ashley". Ashley Q protests "you're not even girls!" - Ashley is a boy's name in the UK.

* Considering Gus's dad is in the military, he's more than likely going to move away from Third Street at some point and leave the best friends he's ever had.
