Brawl in the Family/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance

 * Anyone who may not have made the connection, the "I'm not Jigglypuff!" may have been a Shout-Out to the memetic nightmare scene from Rugrats. "I'm not Tommy!"
 * When attacks Cocoon Academy, Ganondorf yells out, "what in Din's name?" At first, it seems like a reference to Din, one of the goddesses from The Legend of Zelda... but when you think about it, Din is the Goddess of Power, and Ganondorf wields the Triforce of Power...
 * In this script, Waluigi, and not Tiny Toad pops out of the bag in the last panel. Earlier in the comic, this script to be specific, we see Ashley's husband getting kidnapped. Have we made the connection yet?
 * OK Brain Bleach please.
 * Or Waluigi may have bugged Bowser with one WAA too many sometime before. Of course, Rule of Funny makes the previous theory more likely.
 * This Brawl in the Family comic is funny on its own, but we may not realize something brilliant about the punch line:
 * In the comic musical "Ode To Minions", there is a panel which has the singer say, "put your plumber's hat over your heart and say..." with an accompanying picture of Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi all doing so. Though Waluigi had his fingers crossed behind his back. This seems like Waluigi's usual deal when you realize, Waluigi has never fought any minions! If he's never had to do so, why would he feel sorry about it?
 * While this is true, Waluigi is likely crossing his fingers because he doesn't feel bad about any of the minions, not because he had no involvement with them. YMMV though.
 * Notice the lack of Sonic the Hedgehog in "Ode to Minions". I was confused at first, but then I remembered that all the mooks in the Sonic games are actually animals trapped in robots that Sonic is liberating.
 * In comic 386, Daisy was talking to Vivian about racing. ("It was just like that wiggler just let me on through"). In comic 383, she found out that Wiggler racer had some Nepotism with the Wiggler on the track, Maple Treeway. Alt Text? Now than, if you want me to be quiet, don't block me on the track either. See The connection?

Fridge Horror

 * In "Phillip's Box", we see Waluigi save the day by making the "evil" Phillips CDI spirits leave. We never learn what he did, but if you look at the last panel, you can see that his hands are on his (Hawaiian) shirt. ...which either means he's tugging it in accomplishment... or he's putting it back on...
 * Want this to be worse?
 * Can you blame those spirits?
 * Considering it was only a few seconds, it's possible that Waluigi merely took his shirt off, possibly his pants too. Considering Ariel's reaction to Waluigi in a speedo in an earlier comic, it isn't too much of a stretch to assume that would be enough to scare off the spirits.
 * Also, if you follow the Waluigi thing above in the brilliance, think about it. A evil person married to the strongest witch. The possibilities are endless...
 * As Matt said in the mouseover text, "Resourcefulness" and "If It Takes A Lifetime". Mario re-lives his life 254 times just to get over a single pit!
