A reminder of the rules of Fridge Brilliance:

This is a personal moment for the viewer, but follows the same rules as normal pages, meaning no first person or natter. If you start off with "This Troper", really, you have no excuse. We're going to hit you on the head.

This revelation can come from anywhere, even from this very page.

Also, this page is of a generally positive nature, and a Fridge Brilliance does not have to be Word of God. In fact, it usually isn't, and the viewer might be putting more thought into it than the creator ever did. This is not a place for personal commentary on another's remark or arguing without adding a Fridge Brilliance comment of your own.

Everything Else

In the Justice League Unlimited episode "Double Date" The Question assists Huntress with going up against the league in exchange for information regarding a conspiracy he is chasing. The following dialogue takes place during the scuffle:
Green Arrow: Question, why are ya doing this?!
The Question: You wouldn't believe me if I told you!
- Which seems perfectly normal, since The Question is a 'Well known crackpot', in his own words. The retort takes on a new meaning when at the end of the episode reveals that he helped her despite knowing she was lying about any information she had, because he was in love with her. -Lumino
In The Looney Tunes Show, Daffy has to babysit a baby duck. He goes through the fridge to find something for the baby to drink, finds some milk, and scoffs, "What am I, crazy? Babies don't like milk." He then proceeds to try to feed the baby clam juice. This seems like just Daffy being Daffy, but then again, both he and the baby are ducks. Clam juice is slightly closer to something that a baby duck might eat.
- Daffy's costume montage in the episode "Reunion" is slightly justified in retrospect. Of course they had all those costumes lying around—Bugs held all those jobs!
In episode 4 of Magical Girl Friendship Squad, everyone gets infected with mushroom-like parasites called Mushroominations, which whisper nasty things to their host about the host's deepest insecurities. After both of them are infected, Daisy and Alex sit in the running shower with their clothes on. Daisy was seen showering naked (as people usually do) earlier in the episode. She and Alex are showering in their underwear because the Mushroominations have worn down their self confidence to the point that they don't feel comfortable being seen naked by anyone, even the people they trust most: each other. -raspberryred99
In Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog, the two respective characters' jobs seem very lopsided, despite both of them being quite content and calm in the down time: Ralph is always active and always fails, while Sam is passive or reactive and always succeeds. So why isn't Ralph very stressed out and maybe having anger management issues? Well, in Ready, Woolen and Able we see the two arriving to work in cars, and while Sam drives a rickety jalopy, Ralph arrives in a single-seater red racecar, possibly a Ferrari. Moreover, he has a lot of gadgets at his disposal even when off duty (such as in A Sheep in the Deep). So while Sam has a less demanding job, Ralph is content to keep trying, failing and enduring Slapstick because he is presumably paid a lot better. None of this is meant to account for Sam's Teleport Spam and clone spam (or time travel?) while on the job. - Rottenvenetic
Skull Island (2023): It's quite egregious that the Croc Monster strictly stays out of the river when pursuing Mike and Charlie because the boys are in the rapids leading to a giant waterfall, then after the boys have gone over the falls, the Croc freely belly-flops straight over the falls to continue its pursuit of them. It's possible that Mike and Charlie being clearly alive at the bottom of the falls after they went over gave the Croc Monster confidence it didn't have before that it too could survive going over the falls. Additionally, the Croc Monster jumped from a dry ledge over the falls instead of being carried over by the rapids, so it was likely aware it could control its fall better from the former position.
In the creepy stop-motion TV series What It's Like Being Alone, the Brick Joke of episode 9 was that no one but Sammy questioned how Trevor, a random one appearance character got adopted. Then it hits me that as of ep 8, he discovered the ability to see the fourth wall! - Archduke Cthulhu
Anton: In "Bed Wetter", Anton has a Nightmare Sequence about a tidal wave. This was mostly from his fear of wetting the bed, but the nightmare also features a desert. He did refuse to have some hot chocolate before bed, so perhaps he dreamt about a desert because he was thirsty.
