History Headscratchers / PAWPatrol

** A shot from space in "Mighty Pups" shows a planet with noticeably different geography, so wherever the show takes place it's not on an Earth we would be familiar with. So either the PAW Patrol planet is way smaller or the atmosphere is different enough that reaching what we'd call supersonic speeds is much easier.

* How does Mayor Humdinger, after all the illegal actions he has committed, remain in office? Is it because the people of Foggy Bottom are used to it and have come to accept that their mayor is a loon? Or Humdinger uses the Kitten Catastrophe Crew as his own personal police force to stamp out any dissent against his quasi-dictatorship? Is it because we're supposed to just follow the MST3KMantra on this one? Or is Humdinger not really the mayor of Foggy Bottom, having declared himself mayor because he is Mayor Goodway's scorned ex-boyfriend from high school and used his fake position to get back at his ex?

*** What if they had human owner's/dog parents before but something bad happened to them? Tracker did mention having a grandpa in one episode.

*** That's confusing impediments with childhood underdevelopment. The former is something that affects a person throughout their life, while the latter is something that most go through until they improve their ability to navigate their mouth. Anyway, essentially Zuma's impediment is not supposed to be any indication of his age. Case in point, his VA only lost it by the time he was 15/16.

* What exactly is up with that tail spin move in ''Pup Pup Boogie'', anyway? It doesn't have a corresponding space on the dance pad, and there's really no way to register that they pulled it off. (Although, it's possible they're imitating a move from some in-verse commercials for the game.)

* [[FridgeHorror Whose to say she didn't eat the penguins?]] The Arctic is pretty barren, so she would have to do all she could to survive, including eat the penguins!

[[folder:Something something Marshall]]

** You said it yourself; he's insane. But it's a relatively harmless to others insane so no one expects him to stop permanently.

*** The episode 'Pups Save The Kitty Rescue Crew' actually alludes to this; Mayor Goodway essentially said that they've had the PAW Patrol for so long and just grown fond of the team.

** Marshall may be clumsy, but he's also a very capable firepup/[=EMT=]. Even with his clumsiness, he can be counted on to get the job done. That's reason enough for Ryder to keep him on the team.

** Speaking of shrink rays, in 'Pups Save Tiny Marshall' how come Marshall, his uniform and his gadgets are shrunk, but not his pup tag?

* Somehow, the PAW Patrol seem to be able to drive all the way to the South Pole in the PAW Patroller. This is already weird enough as is, as Antarctica is its own continent, so a land vehicle shouldn't be able to get there on its own. And despite Adventure Bay having a temperate or tropical climate, it's also close enough to the South Pole for the PAW Patrol to be able to travel there fast enough to respond to emergencies. And it's ALSO within driving distance of a South American jungle. How can one town be a short drive away from a jungle AND the South Pole at the same time?

* Apparently the writers think mermaid-puppy hybrids and aliens are fine to depict as 'real', but dragons, genies and shrink rays are apparently too ridiculous so they have to make the episode AllJustADream?

** Aw man; now I feel gypped that they missed their opportunity to have Ryder be the werepuppy...Aw well; that's what AU fanfics are for I guess.
* Sid Swashbuckle. Just...Sid Swashbuckle. How can a pirate like this exist in the modern day? He's more like a classic buccaneer than modern-day pirates like those seen in Somalia. Even if he uses high-tech watercraft like the PAW Patrol does, that still begs the question why the government hasn't done anything about this guy. He's certifiably-insane to even think an olde-thyme pirate can make it under today's heavily-regulated maritime environment, especially when privateering was outlawed in the 19th century, and wars between major nations are few and far between these days due to the omnipresent threat of the big powers getting involved and launching nukes.

* How is it that the pups can speak, but none of the other animals can? Is it that puppies have some sort of cosmic privelages? And when they grow up into adult dogs, do they lose the ability to speak?

* Shouldn't a werepuppy mean a guy who turns into a puppy? The word comes from ''wir-'' meaning "man" and ''-puppy'' meaning, well, puppy.

* In 'Pups Party With Bats,' the bats attracted by DJ Rubble's music are ruining the dance party, so Ryder tows Rubble away and leads the bats back to their cave. That leaves the dance party with no music, so Chase's drone follows them and broadcasts the music back to the party. It's established that the bats like DJ Rubble's music on CD as much as hearing it live, so wouldn't it have been much easier to just lead the bats back to their cave with a recording?
