Baccano/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance

 * I had one about Baccano thanks to another troper. I had previously added an example citing Claire as a Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Trailer. Another troper mentioned that this is also true of the characters connected to the Daily Days. Then a third noted the reason for this, which is where the briliance come in- reporters don't report on themselves, and the series is through the lens of that paper's reporting on the Flying Pussyfoot incident- User:Jordan
 * Another more common piece of Fridge Brilliance is the eventual reveal of why Jacuzzi, the most timid character in the whole series would have the most attention-drawing feature, his huge jagged sword tattoo. It seems especially incongruous when you see that the tattoo is being used to identify him on his wanted posters. Turns out it's a CMOH: Jacuzzi got it after his best friend and later girlfriend Nice, so they could match and she wouldn't be alone in being stared at.
 * Isaac and Miria hatch a rather odd plot to steal an entire museum. It doesn't quite work out, so they just steal the door to "keep people from entering." Crazy? Maybe, until you realize that with the door stolen, the police would close the museum down for an investigation. So their plan WORKED, but maybe just not in the way they intended.
 * Also notable is that Isaac and Miria performed the post-episode trailers as if they were actually watching the show and guessing what would be in the next episode. Take into account that Isaac and Miria could very well have been watching themselves on television in-universe without actually breaking the Fourth Wall at all; just talking to each other about the episodes.
 * The television show thing is just anime original material and Cameo eyecandy though, Baccano characters in fact exist and interact with the Durarara cast from time to time. There's no Show Within a Show in the Naritaverse when taking into account only the Light Novels canon.
 * If Ladd didn't talk about one day killing Lua, their relationship would be kind of.....Normal.
 * Except that both would still be insane, and it's pretty hard to put two insane people together and call that "normal".
 * One of the points brought up against Czeslaw is the time he . What occurred to this troper when discussing it with a friend was that   This might be supported by the fact that even eighty years later, he still remembers the time he spent with her fondly. Czeslaw was trying to keep her safe, even if he didn't realize it!
 * When you only follow the anime, it seems strange that later on Claire, until remembering that  !
 * A stretch and unintentional but funny when you realize it. When it comes to naming the transcontinental train from California to Grand Central Station, some genius names it the Flying Pussyfoot. You have a chortle over the name and that's that, right? WRONG. The term pussyfoot in the general sense means to walk quietly and proceed cautiously. In slang terms, we mostly know the phrase, "Stop pussyfootin' around!" This is similar to the phrase, "Stop fucking around!" Ergo, the train's real name is synonomous with the term Flying Fuck. Considering what happened on the train ride and the amount of casualties, that actually makes sense.

Fridge Horror

 * The unnamed narrator in the first book has a moment of this when he thinks a little too hard about Firo and Ennis's relationship and realizes that,, Firo can technically be seen as screwing himself. He wisely decides not to voice this thought in front of Firo.
 * Wait. Isn't it revealed that the narrator of the first book is ?
 * Not him, but the unnamed Japanese tourist with the stolen camera. His narration frames narration.
 * Baccano: The awkward moment
 * Not only that, he's
