Fan Theories

Along with the Illuminati Theory, there are many theories continually being thought up and mysteries being explored by fans.

The Shrek Theory
The well known ogre has now been mentioned twice in the show. First caught by eagle eared viewers while seeing Bandito tumbling into the creek in S1 E9 he can be heard exclaiming the ogre's name. Later in S2 E1 during his science rant, Mr. Benke says "Shrek is Love." Whether the creators of the show are just paying homage to the popular internet Shrek craze or whether he will play some role in the show later on is unclear.

Herbert's Secret Life
In S1 E5 after Grubby pulls a purple gorilla stuffed animal out of the glove compartment and looks questioningly at Herbert, the latter replies "I have a secret life you don't know about yet. It's better not to ask." What Herbert does in his secret life and what it has to do with a purple gorilla is what fans have been trying to figure out. I may or may not have something to do with Herbert feeling very natural in drag, as said in S1 E10.

Herbert's Family
So the question is this: Where is Herbert's family? It's been on everyone's minds since the first episode. Except for Random Smoker, (Who was herself recently removed from this list after being authenticated as a real character by the creators of the show.) there aren't any adults seen in the house. Where Herbert's family is isn't known, and neither is how he got to Random Smoker's house in the first place.

Why Grubby?
After the groundbreaking S1 E10, fans were dealt a huge surprise finding out where Grubby came from. But the thing we all thought was "Why was Grubby of all people chosen by Commander Chubby to take part in an important mission to Earth?" He sure did screw it all up. He crashed the ship. Perhaps time will tell...

What Happened to Grubby When he Reached Earth?
Something happened on the space ship from Ubby to Earth that caused a radioactive fuel rod to crash down by the creek and Grubby to escape. He escaped somewhere in Mexico, and was raised there by cats. Somehow he ended up in the creek across the street from Herbert's house. That's all that is known about Grubby's time between living on Ubby and living with Herbert.
