The Tick (animation)/Fridge


 * Fridge Brilliance: Chairface Chippendale's plot to  didn't seem to pose any atmospherical or environmental danger, and technically wasn't illegal since , so hilariously, everyone spends the entire episode flipping out for no reason at all.
 * Technically speaking they could nab him for vandalism of the commons/ecological vandalism, illegal graffiti, conspiracy to commit theft, handling and usage of knowingly stolen goods, or unlicensed possession of Weapons of Mass Destruction. My money's on the latter.
 * Reckless Endangerment of Human Lives? That's a thing, right? Carving letters (let me see here, the letters were about a third the height of the visible surface, in the middle, and the moon's about 2000 miles in diameter, so about 6300 circumference, half of that, a third of that woud be) 1050 miles high could, I don't know, dislodge debris that falls to Earth, or de-stabilize the moon's orbit, any of which could be devastating here on Earth, both to civilization and possibly to life in general. Plus, the guy's a jerk.
 * Fridge Brilliance: In "The Tick Vs Filth", the Sewer Czar makes intelligent minions because stupid minions didn't work out too well for him in the past. However, the Filth minions start realizing that their creator is actually kinda crazy and not acting in their best interests, later ending up switching sides. While the obvious moral of the story involves Judging A Book By Its Cover in the case of The Urchin, one could say there's another moral about independent thought and not following leaders who use scare tactics to get them to work for you.
