History YMMV / AngelaAnaconda

** Mr. Mooey the ventriloquist dummy's opening of its eyes when it's in the dumpster at the episode's end.

* AcceptableReligiousTargets: Josephine is a devout Christian who is portrayed sympathetically, but the humor comes from the moments of her more extreme (and bizarre) religious expressions.

** "No thanksgiving" is [[SickEpisode combined with a sick episode]]. Gordy and Gina, wanting to help Angela have a decent thanksgiving but afraid to get sick, leave food on her doorstep and after ringing the bell, wish her a happy thanksgiving from the sidewalk while wearing masks. All tactics that became popular during the Covid-19 pandemic.

* ValuesDissonance: The recurring minor character of the aggressive Japanese woman Miss Yamagotchi, who speaks in stereotypical thick-accented broken English, and whose domineering attitude evokes the DragonLady stereotype (although she isn't sexualized or untrustworthy).

* MemeticMutation: The ''Angela Anaconda'' short attached to ''Anime/DigimonTheMovie'' was already regarded as terrible {{filler}} on its own, but rose to infamy after a Website/FourChan user shared a greentext story about how the short caused their parents to divorce when they were a child; the user cried so much when they saw the short instead of the film that the parents dragged them out of the theater, blaming each other for bringing them to the wrong movie, and getting into a car accident in the parking lot, which ended up being the last straw in an already tumultuous time in their marriage.

** The show itself gets a lot of this for the infamous tie-in with ''The Digimon Movie'', likely resulting in the beginning of the extensive online backlash against the show. However, the tie-in was a studio decision and not that of the creators and crew, as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTbBahMd044 confirmed]] by Billiam.

* DesignatedHero: Some people view Angela in an unfavorable manner. Since the audience is supposed to taker her word on Nanette being unlikable despite little evidence supporting it, her treatment and fantasies about Nanette getting hurt or worse comes across as mean. There’s one episode where she imagined ordering her enemies (which includes her older brothers) at a restaurant, which is pretty disturbing for an elementary-aged schoolgirl to imagine.

* ValuesDissonance: Miss Yamagotchi is a horrendous Asian stereotype up there with Mickey Rooney in ''Film/BreakfastAtTiffanys''.

** A Canadian SliceOfLife cartoon where the animation is the most discussed thing due to [[UncannyValley its unintentional creepiness]]? Years later, ''WesternAnimation/AngeloRules'' would follow in Angela's footsteps. The two main characters even have similar names.

* UncannyValley: Due to the show's choppy ClipArtAnimation, it can be seen as unsettling due to the model's faces staring into the camera at times.
** Baby Lulu alone is considered as one of the ''absolute '''creepiest''' examples in Western Animation history'', to the point where her face can make even the most horrific monsters from ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'' look like {{Ridiculously Cute Critter}}s in comparison.
** The original shorts aired on ''[=KaBlam=]!'', which were much more crude in comparison to the later series. The fact that characters like Nanette and Johnny have cherub-smiling faces that don't change makes it worse.

* TheWoobie:
** Josephine can go into this given what she goes through.
** Karlean in "Kar-lean on Me".

** The show itself gets a lot of this for the infamous tie-in with ''The Digimon Movie'', likely resulting in the beginning of the extensive online backlash against the show. However, the tie-in was more likely a studio decision and not that of the creators and crew. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTbBahMd044 Confirmed]] by Billiam.

** Nanette, being a victim of DisproportionateRetribution in Angela's fantasies, can come off as this. WebVideo/TheMysteriousMrEnter points this out in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzDNojt7_HA his review of]] "The Substitute".

** Angela ''herself''. In the episode about allowance, we're evidently not supposed to sympathize with Angela because she only takes out the trash for $1.25 a week. But at the same time, Angela has not one but ''two'' parents who are implied to work-from-home ''and'' two middle to high school aged brothers. Angela takes a bunch of extra chores and is only given $0.50. This makes her parents seem... really cheap, even ''if'' Angela ''is'' at most eight years old.

* MemeticMutation: The ''Angela Anaconda'' short attached to ''Anime/DigimonTheMovie'' is regarded as terrible {{filler}}. It's apparently so bad that, according to a greentext story by a Website/FourChan user, their parents divorced when they thought that the other brought them to the wrong movie during a tumultuous time in their marriage.

* {{Squick}}: The Brinkses [[NakedPeopleArefunny playing badminton or sledding naked]].

* DesignatedHero: Some people view Angela in an unfavorable manner. Since the audience is supposed to taker her word on Nanette being unlikable despite little evidence supporting it, her treatment and fantasies about Nanette getting hurt or worse comes across as mean. There’s one episode where she imagined ordering her enemies at a restaurant, which is pretty disturbing for an elementary-aged schoolgirl to imagine.

* LesYay: Nanette and Angela's interactions can sometimes feel like this, mixed with a heap of FoeYay, especially in the ImagineSpot in "Stuck on You". Even some of the fanbase shares this view.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF24xtDfWPs This reviewer]] theorizes that Nanette Manoir is [[TheSociopath a sociopath]], citing her tendency to treat her friends more like tools, and her seeming willingness to go out of her own way to make Angela's life miserable.

* CriticalResearchFailure: In "Fall Weather Friends", Nanette is said to have laryngitis, but is still able to speak, as though she had just lost her voice rather than actually ''been infected with laryngitis.''

* RetroactiveRecognition: Sue Rose, creator of ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'', created this show and voiced the eponymous character.

* CriticalBacklash: Of a sort. The series was reviled by many thanks to the ''Anime/DigimonTheMovie'' tie-in, the [[ClicheStorm mundane plots]], and the bizarre animation style. But the show still has its fans outside the BileFascination, with some even appreciating it - especially when the creator made a [[https://www.youtube.comwatch?v=vPNBEoEVP84 video]] discussing that its intention was to be itself, and it's something that is conveyed very well with the show's overall theme of BeYourself and accept other people for who they are.

** Cici Lecreme from "The French Connection". While she is far from a major antagonist, Angela's immediate hostile reaction to her becoming friends with Nanette is very heavy-handed, especially as Cici herself still remains fairly kind to Angela and even admits to still caring about her.]

* WatchItForTheMeme: Many people watch the show due to the reviews by The Mysterious Mr. Enter, [=PhantomStrider=], [=AmazzonKane=] if you're a fan, or for the theme song.

* Woolseyism: In the French dub of the series, which was recorded in Quebec, Nanette's erroneous French is replaced by exaggerated Parisian terms.
