Line 8:
** How can Skull Boy eat when he has no internal organs?
*** Nothing about Skull Boy makes sense, actually. How can he move if he has no muscles? How can he speak without vocal chords? How come his eyes stay in their sockets? Heck, now can he even blink without flesh?
*** Necrourgy (yes that is the proper word) which is [[Magic aA Is Magic A|mystical]] stuff that animates corpses.
** How could Frank and Len each get the other a present without the other seeing?
*** Maybe they did it while the other was asleep?
* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]: [[Moe Moe|For obvious reasons]]. [[Ruby Gloom]] is very popular in Japan. The show is also very popular in parts of Europe, especially Germany [[Unfortunate Implications|despite the depiction of two Germans in "Ubergloom"]]
* [[Les Yay]]: I ''can't'' be the only person who sees shades of [[Romantic Two -Girl Friendship]] between Ruby and Iris, can I?
** Ruby and Misery too. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXNBCisuBjU Case in point.]
** In the dancing sequence at the end of the first episode everyone else is dancing by themselves while Iris and Ruby are dancing together, make of that what you will.
Line 21:
* [[My Real Daddy]]: Most of the characters were created by illustrator Martin Hsu. And while his designs were excellent, it was the writers working for Nelvana who turned Gloomsville's residents into well-defined, fleshed-out characters. This is particularly true in the case of resident [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] Misery, whose story is defined more in-show but barely appears in any of Martin Hsu's work.
* [[Needs More Love]]: This show was fantastically animated with gorgeous Gothic scenery, likeable characters, and excellent writing. Unfortunately, there were only two seasons and it has never been aired in the United States.
* [[Periphery Demographic]]: The show was designed for children and pre-teens to tie in with its [[Merchandise -Driven|stationary line]]. Ins spite of this, it recieves a great deal of attention from teenage to young adult viewers and anime fans due to the gothic art style, [[Moe Moe|cute characters]], and sharp writing.
* [[The Woobie]]: Misery
** And Scaredy.
