** Amanda survived unharmed - at least in ''body,''; after nearly being burned alive, who knows what her mental state is right now? Anyway, she's shown in a plane with her parents when Baby Pubert is propelled into the atmosphere.

* There are several hints that [[spoiler: "Gordon" really was Fester all along]]: Granny was able to sense his presence at dinner, he showed the children how to gut with a sword, and how well he danced the Mamushka.

* Why are the Addamses so sympathetic to Debbie's ItsAllAboutMe MotiveRant? She claims that her StartOfDarkness was because she feels unloved (which in her case is mainly a delusion). In the huge and warm Addams clan, nobody ''ever'' feels unloved.

* In Addams Family Values, Pubert is born with a mustache like his father Gomez. An episode of the original television show had Gomez mention that he was born with his mustache. Remembering this helps make better sense of this if a mustache is intended to be a proud trait of the Addams Family.

* Wednesday's blunt answer to the kid using the DeliveryStork tale: As the eldest, Wednesday has had a front-row seat to parents that ''cannot'' keep their hands off one another. She's probably glad she ''only'' has two brothers. Plus, Morticia and Gomez don't excessively shelter or fib to the kids, so they probably told Wednesday the blunt truth (albeit, with more tact) when Pugsley came into the picture.

* The way that "Gordon" took to dancing the Mamushka should have been a tip-off that he was Fester. After all, Gomez said that only the Addamses knew the dance.

!!FridgeLogic

* In the first movie, Abigail and "Gordon" are supposed to be master con artists, the latter shown extremely competent at any number of illegal activities. But neither of them thought to put paint on their palms to mark the rungs they were grabbing so that they could eliminate them and eventually find the right one?
** Though "Gordon" enjoyed the ride.

!!FridgeHorror

* 1977's ''Halloween With The New Addams Family'' introduced two new children, Wednesday Jr. and Pugsley Jr., who were never heard from again afterwards. Seen in the light of the Addams traditions from the second movie (i.e. [[spoiler:when a new baby enters the household, one of the children has to die]]) - well, [[HarsherInHindsight that's a nasty possibility]], isn't it?
* The children in the hospital are probably traumatized for life after hearing Wednesday's parents "had sex".
** How is telling a child that two adults had sex horrifying? It's not like they pulled out some porn magazines. Then again, different people have different views on this.
