Fridge Brillance

  • While Test Tube's attempt to trick MePhone5C and 5S into jumping off the Crappy Cliff being successful might seem to be because they were idiots (and because of Meeple Maps being bad), there is actually a reason for this. MePhone4 fell down to the Crappy Cliff's water and exploded in the final episode of Season One. His scraps could still be there.
  • On the topic of MePhone, Cobs didn't want MePhone eating, even though he's perfectly capable of eating and working at the same time. This is because if MePhone ate, he would inevitably have to use the bathroom. Given that Cobs doesn't want MePhone taking any breaks during his work, this is a logical explanation for why Cobs didn't want MePhone4 eating.
  • As pointed out on one YouTube comment, the new season, Inanimate Insanity Invitational is a case of Stealth Pun and Fun with Acronyms. It's the third season of the show, and its acronym is III, the Roman Numeral for three.
  • MePhone starting another season while season 2 is still in progress seems a little odd at first glance, both In-Universe and out, but it actually makes a lot of sense when you consider how Cobs has more or less been playing him like a fiddle since he was the one who created Adam. MePhone is starting a new season on his own accord, completely free from the constraints of Cobs and Adam.
  • Tissues hating the color green, as revealed in Fan's Fantastic Features. While it makes sense that people have different favorite colors or hate different colors, Tissues' hatred of green could have come from his snot being green and constantly sneezing it out. His frustrations with his "condishawn" and disliking himself from accidently sneezing on people could have left on impact on his mind that green is disgusting and horrible because he only associates it with his terrible sickness.
    • Also, in Fan's Fantastic Features, Tissues is more sassy and smug and rather difficult than how he is in the show proper. One might argue that he Took a Level in Jerkass. While this may be so, Tissues does apologize for his actions and considering what he was put through during the show, you can't blame him. He makes it clear in the episode that the reason he is acting out is because he just wants a friend. And hardly anyone is friends with him just because of his sickness.
      • Fan becomes his friend. Tissues not only calms down immediately, but finds it touching that Fan considers him a friend.
      • Well he's been roommates with Trophy right? Maybe Trophy's starting to have an influence on him.
      • While Tissues has Trophy as a roommate and may have an influence on Tissues, Tissues still calmed down and it is shown that he got riled up the more he talked about his condishawn. So, he was most likely frustrated from his sickness and acted out on it.
  • The MePhones 5 and above having shockwave mouths makes sense when you consider that the lightning port, introduced with the iPhone 5 in real life, allowed for faster charging than the earlier 30 pin cable. Not being able to eat was made up for with faster charging.

Fridge Horror

  • "Yeah, and I think, like, you should die." The scene seems harmless on the surface, but once you think about; Tissues' disease is debilitating, seemingly incurable, and quite possibly deadly, if "Theft and Battery" is anything to go by. Trophy basically told a terminally ill person to die!
  • In "Marsh on Mars", Apple takes an alien egg from the titular planet, then Fan proceeds to 'adopt' the egg. While we don't really see any other creature there, it's most likely that whatever creature that laid the egg was just thinking of leaving it for a little bit and come back, only they find it disappeared, with no sign of where it is on their entire planet. Apple, then Fan, just kidnapped a child.
    • Becomes Ascended Fridge Horror in "Hatching the Plan", as not only do the aliens abduct Fan (though he does willingly give up the hatched egg), but apparently it was stolen by Meeple before Apple found it.
  • In "Everything's A-OJ", we learn that all the eliminated contestants from episodes 1 through 6 have been trapped in a closet for several months, with Tissues being the first one in there and being alone for the first month! Just think about how scary that must have been for them and how terrible being in the small, locked closet must have been. How in the world did they even survive in there?! How did they eat, drink, or go to the bathroom?! When they are finally freed, they are shown to be quite weak and frightened. Yikes!
    • This also brings to mind Bow's situation from season 1. She was locked in a box against her will for a month just to prevent her from returning to the show. How did she even survive being in there?! She went insane from being trapped in there! As asked above, how was she fed or able to go to the bathroom? How did she even breathe in there?!
  • In "Theft and Battery", we see MePhone6, who's forced to guard the Meeple headquarters w/ZERO protection, which explains why he bent. Cobs was denying a LIVING thing who at the time was very young any form of care.
  • On the note of Meeple, remember how Steve Cobs mentioned that MePhone4 is the first Meeple product, "that doesn't need food"? Now think about MePhone3GS. Cobs starved one of his creations.
    • I think what he actually meant to imply was that the Meeple products, in general, don't need food as they're electronics and can charge.
  • In Hatching The Plan we find out that the egg Fan took was one of Six. Four were found, Fan's egg being five. The last egg is still out there.
  • How did the eliminated contestants survive on Idiotic Island being trapped in a cage?
    • How are they surviving on Indefinite Island?
      • "Try Not to Laugh Challenge", revealed that the eliminated contestants have been living off of coconuts and are now eating Tea Kettle's snacks. But, still... how are they getting bathroom breaks?
      • They probably find a tree/bush.
      • It's possible they don't have actual organs, or at least excretory organs.
      • No, they do have excretory organs. Me Phone 4 even mentions having gone to the bathroom. And the objects do eat.
  • Before Meeple, death was eternal.
  • Imagine what it would be like if contestants like Candle and The Floor used their abilities for bad reasons...

Fridge Logic

Fridge Sadness

  • Sort of Meta-wise, almost everyone in the fandom compared Baseball's state in "Alternate Reality Show" that of an "emo" pre-teen. Some people emotionally or mentally regress to cope with things like stress, depression, or other mental illnesses. Assuming Baseball's a young adult at most, he could very well have regressed to a teen-like emotional state.
  • After Invitational ends, there's a high chance that The Floor will be forced to remain alone on the island when everyone leaves, considering how he couldn't leave the island when he was eliminated.
    • As of the season finale, it looks like all of the newcomers for the season (and possibly the returning contestants on Invitational) are staying on the island in Cabby’s library, so it appears that he won’t be alone, at least for now.
  • The fact that Cabby can't remember her parents implies she hasn't spoken to them since she's started keeping her files, which is presumably a good while given how used to using them she is during the show. In general, most adults contact their parents pretty regularly if those parents are alive and they have a good relationship, so the fact that Cabby doesn't have a file or anything on her parents...can't mean anything good.
