A word was spelled incorrectly


The appliances are forced to leave thier home and go on a dangerous journey to find the Master, without being seen by any other humans--simmilar to Jews/Gypsies/etc having to flee their home countries and escape to America. Radio talks like a 1940s broadcaster, and makes constant references to WWII. Then there's Lampy's exclimation of "to the showers!" when he thinks he is about to be thrown away (seriously, he says that). Elmo St. Peters is essentially a Dr. Mengele to the appliances. If the appliances are caught by humans, there's the fear that they must remain useful, or be destroyed. And we probably shouldn't even get into the junkyard scene...

Removed wallbanger link


If the human Rob would have died, this would have negated everything leading up to his time travel, invention of the living machines, and eventual death, making Toaster unexist, as well as negating all the events of the movie. This becomes a WallBanger when you consider that the only reason Rob went to the junkyard in the first place is because the characters were dumped there. And the only reason the characters were there is because ''Toaster insisted on going out to find the damn master in the first place''. There's more I could explain, but it's ''way'' too confusing to think about...

[[WMG:Alternately, this movie is the prequel to [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitle1d5irnza?from=Film.Nine 9]]]]
This would explain the reason the appliances come to life. The producers of said appliances used the same technology the scientist of [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitle1d5irnza?from=Film.Nine 9]] used to bring the stitchpunks to life. Thus, Toaster, Lampy, Kirby, and all the rest are not only sentient, but have souls.

* A plot device. The writes wanted one of the creepy junkshop appliances to be Peter Lorre, because one of them was a fan, and they somehow came up with a hanging lamp. He gives Lampy his bulb because the plot called for it. The troper who wrote all of these theories needs to stop trying to analyze minor characters from kid's movies and get a life.

Really, he was clearly crushed beyond repair, and this explains the sudden change to a LighterAndSofter tone of the sequels. They are an attempt by Toaster to preserve his own sanity.

The creepy Peter Lorre lamp laughs when Lampy asks how they can escape the shop. The appliances seem to think escape is impossible. And yet, once Mr. St. Peters falls unconsious, they instantly yell "Jail break!" and the fridge crashes through the door with no trouble. Why couldn't they just have done that when Peters was off running errands, or something? There is only one explination; they were too scared to try. Seeing their friends get mutilated by Peters made them believe his power was invincible. Once seeing him defeated by the Toaster's group, they realized that Peters was not invincible--which inspired Mr. Fridge to think taht perhaps the walls weren't either.

** Considering that the first movie was about a talking toaster and every other scene was like a bad acid trip, is a sequel where they go to Mars that far-fetched? All the sequel meant to this Troper was that the writers did just a tad bit more LSD after making the fisrt movie, and decided to make another.

[[MMG: The Hanging Lamp in the junk shop is...]]
* An altered/broken appliance, just like all the others. He was once a nice desk lamp, or tall living room lamp, and St. Peters' took his stand away and made him into a ceiling lamp. Anything creepy he tells the newcommers is either a warning to help their chances against Peters', or an attempt to cheer them up with black comedy humor. He gives Lampy his bulb as a genuine act of pity.
* An unwilling observer. He was always a ceiling lamp and won't be harmed, because Peters just uses him to light his workplace. But he's still a good guy, and was just driven a bit mad from having to watch what was done to his inmates.
* A sadistic observer. He enjoys watching other appliances get taken apart, and acts as a guard for St. Peters. When he laughs, "Do you hear that boys? They want to know how to escape!" its evidence that he's manipulated the others into thinking there is no escape. He gives Lampy his bulb because he has a soft spot for fellow lamps.

[[WMG: By extention of the above theory, the Hanging Lamp is secretly helping St. Peters keep the other appliances from thinking they can escape.]]
To borrow the words of a troper on the "It Just Bugs Me" page, the creepy Peter Lorre lamp is a "sadistic observer." It seems at first that he's just a nice appliance who's gone insaine from living in Peters' workshop, like all the others. But think about it; he's not in the same boat they are. He's only used to light the shop, and doesn't have to fear being taken apart like they do. He has no trouble laughing loudly to the imprisoned appliances about the idea of escaping, and yet, after Peters is unconsious and there really is a chance to escape, we don't see him being too excited for them (in fact, he's nowhere to be seen). He was manipulating the other appliances, making them think that escape was impossible. It was because of what he told them that they never tried to escape, until they saw St. Peters get knocked out.

Long story short, when Lampshade told the heroes, "Oh yes, Mr. St. Peters is veeery entertaining," he was being litteral. When he donated his bulb to Lampy, it was because he either has a soft spot for fellow lamps, or he was just wanted to watch Lampy lose it again when Peters needed to sell lamp parts.

[[WMG: When master read books under Lampy he was educating the lamp without realizing it.]]
Though slow on the uptake and not very street-smart, Lampy is still oddly smart in other ways compared to the other appliances. He knows how to read a phone book, and while the other appliances call the sun "The really big lamp in the sky," he understands meteorology well enough to know that he can make himself into a lighning rod to recharge their battery. That's because while other kids would be reading comic books or dirty magazines under their lamps, Master is exactly the type of nerd who would be eagerly reading his science textbooks.

[[WMG: Radio actually belonged to Mater's parents or grandparents.]]
Hence why he sounds like he's from the 1940s, and his obsession with WWII. Master probably got the radio as a family gift, considering it a cool antique.

[[WMG: The television set in St. Peter's broke himself.]]
Before all of the B-movie appliances went insane, they were all deperate to not meet the fate of their friends, so the television got one of the others to run into him, so although he looked broken and useless, he was still alive and less likely to be killed.

[[WMG: The Mish-Mash appliance was the result of surgery gone wrong.]]
Similar to the above WMG, Mish-Mash was one of the first to be a victim of St. Peter's, but they didn't want it to die so they tried to fix her by using the spare parts of other dead appliances. The results were disastrous results.
