History YMMV / Asdfmovie

** When Saturn called the Sun fat, it simply smiles instead of being offended, considering it a compliment. Was this an InsultBackfire, or was Saturn trying to compliment the Sun in the first place? Consider how the sun was frowning before this point...

* AlternativeJokeInterpretation: When Saturn called the Sun fat, it simply smiles instead of being offended, considering it a compliment. Was this an InsultBackfire, or was Saturn trying to compliment the Sun in the first place?

* HilariousInHindsight: ''4'' had a clip where a guy sarcastically says he likes someone else's hat. The other guy steals his face. Guess what's the main plot in ''VideoGame/{{Miitopia}}''?

*** "Meow meow, I'm a cow/I said meow meow, I'm--" "[[BigNo NO!]]"

* SeasonalRot: ''asdfmovie11'' is widely considered to be the least popular episode to date, mainly because of the [[ToiletHumor fart jokes]] (which the series has gone out of its way to avoid up until this point). The [[JokeOfTheButt butt jokes]] even composed the entirety of the lowest-rated asdf sketches in a polling website Tom set up. Even Creator/TomSka himself feels this one [[CreatorBacklash shouldn't have been made]].

* NightmareFuel:
** The "asdfmovie deleted scenes" bit where we see someone cranking a music box playing "Pop Goes the Weasel", [[DissonantSerenity only for the camera to zoom out and show that he's actually at a bloody crime scene]].
** The two girls whose boyfriends both told them they're the most beautiful girl in the world... [[spoiler: so the first one stabs the second girl while saying [[ThereCanBeOnlyOne "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE"]] [[VoiceOfTheLegion in a demonic voice]] with an ominous background.]]
** The last skit of asdfmovie8 involves a guy [[ColdHam dramatically muttering]] that the orphans are all dead and wondering who could have done this while [[PsychoStrings ominous strings]] are playing in the background. Cut to a shot showing the bodies of the killed orphans all seen laying on the ground, bathing in their blood... [[MoodWhiplash then]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext there's a cow doing skateboard]] just passing by, [[DissonantSerenity perfectly calm]], only whispering "Skateboards!".
** The man who crawls out of another person asking for his lemons is rather unsettling.
** One sketch involves a little girl running after a sentient ball saying "Chase me, Susie, chase me!" [[MoodWhiplash Then the girl gets hit by a car,]] and the ball, in a creepy red background, [[EvilSoundsDeep and with a low voice,]] says "MMMM. GOOD."
** In asdfmovie13, a man passing by asks Mr. Goose, who is off-screen, what he's doing with that noose in the form of a light-hearted song, [[MoodWhiplash then Mr. Goose hangs himself]], [[NothingIsScarier we see nothing of it]], we only hear a neck snap and see the man's horrified reaction.
** Also from 13, a guy says "Hello Sun!", and the Sun gets too close to the Earth and melts the guy's skin away.
** While "Real Man!" is primarily SugarWiki/{{heartwarming|moments}} and uplifting, there's one scary aspect in the form of the owner of Happy Borger Industries. At the start of the song, he's shown making all of his cows conform with the fact that they're fated to become beef, ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour''-style, and when the Skateboard Cow tries to be themself, he actively tries to dehumanize them. Once the Skateboard Cow escapes and becomes a successful skateboarder, including getting a [[InterspeciesRomance girlfriend]], the Happy Borger guy is shown to have been {{stalk|er without a crush}}ing them and planted a remote bomb on their skateboard, blowing the Skateboard Cow up in front of their millions of fans. He then takes back the Skateboard Cow under the guise of an ambulance worker, complete with {{red eyes|take warning}} and a SlasherSmile, and hauls them off back to the ranch to be slaughtered, along with successfully capturing and planning to butcher the Drawing Bear, the Beep Beep Sheep, the Magical Pony, ''and'' a Mine Turtle. Luckily, all five bust out through the Beep Beep Sheep detonating the Mine Turtle, the Skateboard Cow gets their fame and glory back, and TheStinger shows that Happy Borger Industries has been shut down.

** In asdfmovie13, a man passing by asks Mr. Goose, who is off-screen, what he's doing with that noose in the form of a light-hearted song, [[MoodWhiplash then Mr. Goose hangs himself]], [[NothingIsScarier we see nothing of it]], [[HellIsThatNoise we only hear a neck snap]] and see the man's horrified reaction.

** The beginning of 10 can be downright ''uncomfortable'' to watch after Creator/LoganPaul came under fire for filming and uploading a video of a man who ended his life in Japan's Suicide Forest on the first day of 2018. For bonus points, LetsPlay/{{Jacksepticeye}} voices the sketch, and would later admit to having suicidal thoughts himself back in 2017.

** The "Beep Beep I'm a Sheep" skit seems to be a metaphor for memes; the sheep does something funny for no reason, it quickly catches on with everyone, and later, when the cow tries to do it again, everyone gets mad at him and nobody wants anything to do with it.
** Does Dougal Flopguy ''actually'' care about the safety of the world at the mercy of the Flop, or is he just ''pretending'' to care just to salvage his reputation, since he was still willing to do the Flop in the vicinity of a poor soul about to commit suicide?

* DiagnosedByTheAudience: "I Like Trains" kid seems to be only capable of saying "I like trains!" and [[CaptainObvious has an obsession with trains]]. [[https://youtu.be/hHkKJfcBXcw His dedicated song]] states he never spoke a word until he went to school, and had to take a ritalin treatment.

* SeasonalRot: ''asdfmovie11'' is widely considered to be the least popular episode to date, mainly because of the [[ToiletHumor fart jokes]] (which the series has gone out of its way to avoid up until this point). The butt jokes even composed the entirety of the lowest-rated asdf sketches in a polling website Tom set up. Even Creator/TomSka himself feels this one [[CreatorBacklash shouldn't have been made]].

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: The series is popular among older children, thanks to its simple format, SurrealHumor, and unforgettable jokes. However, there are lots of BlackComedy sketches with [[BloodyHilarious red animated blood]] and some SuicideAsComedy. There is also a sexual reference[[note]]In ''asdfmovie12'', an anthropomorphic car punches a guy for "sleeping with his wife"[[/note]], and, in earlier sketches, mild profanity. Even its [[TheBoardGame Board Game]], ''Muffin Time'', is rated 12+!

* FountainOfMemes: Considering the videos consist of multiple seconds-long gags, it's easier to list the lines that ''haven't'' become memes.
** "Well, I stole your face!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A section of ''asdfmovie4'', where a guy proceeds to steal the face of another guy who said his compliment towards him was sarcastic. It's been re-enacted with other characters, sometimes involving characters that actually lost their face.[[/labelnote]]
** "Everybody do the flop!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The main RunningGag of ''asdfmovie6'' are the appearances of Dougal Flopguy, who appears out of nowhere while saying this, causing him and everyone around him to FacePlant. Many re-enactments have been made with other characters and real people, some of which are compiled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BS7rZJ8jPFE here]].[[/labelnote]]
** "There's something on your face!" *punch* "It was pain!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In ''asdfmovie3'', a man says this as he punches another person on the face.[[/labelnote]]
** "I baked you a pie!" "Oh boy, what flavor?" "[insert random object here] FLAVOR." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Originates from the very first exchange of ''asdfmovie2'', where someone is baked a "pie-flavored" pie (represented by a small pie bursting out of the bigger one). It grew into a snowclone where the original "pie" flavor is replaced with just about any other word. The exchange would experience another surge in popularity thanks to its usage in The Muffin Song below.[[/labelnote]]
** "Suddenly, pineapples." [[labelnote:Explanation]]A RunningGag in the deleted scenes is to have pineapples appear everywhere, with this line preceding it. The line has been used in other videos outside of ''asdfmovie'', where pineapples will appear upon it being said.[[/labelnote]]
** "Die, potato!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A classic scene from the first ''asdfmovie'', which was later played with in ''asdfmovie2''. It caught on for its blunt and silly nature, and it's frequently used when potatoes or the squashing of foods are involved.[[/labelnote]]
** It is now literally impossible to say that you have an affinity for locomotives in any way, shape or form without someone responding with "I LIKE TRAINS."
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHkKJfcBXcw Now in song form!]]
** "Beep beep, I'm a sheep." [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line from ''asdfmovie10'' said by a sheep, which was later turned into a song. It spawned many variations in the form "[x] [x], I'm a [y]", with [x] being a random word that rhymes with [y], which is an object, but usually an animal. It also spawned various remixes, which got enough attention that a (somewhat) official [[https://youtu.be/CZlfbep2LdU remix]] was made.[[/labelnote]]
*** "Meow meow, I'm a cow/I said meow meow, I'm--" "[[BigNo NO!]]"
** It's Muffin Time/The Muffin Song [[labelnote:Explanation]]A set of memes involving 2 remixes of the Muffin's lines starting from ''asdfmovie7''. [[https://youtu.be/cGzujGfXrlI The first remix]] from 2014 was mainly used in fan animations. [[https://youtu.be/LACbVhgtx9I The second remix]] from 2018 gained more exposure when it became a popular audio on [=TikTok=], where it was used for lip-dubs and duets. The "I baked you a pie" section became especially popular for duets due to a lip-dub [[https://youtu.be/Z39gYYKkRlk video]] which gained notoriety for how janky the peoples' movements were.[[/labelnote]]

** In ''THE TWENTY MINUTE ASDFMOVIE'', an angry potato tells a look-alike of the "I like trains" kid, "I am an angry potato and I hope you get cancer!" Edd Gould, who voiced the trains kid, died of cancer a year later. Particularly TemptingFate, considering he had recovered from it a year earlier.

** asdfmovie14 has a lot of death references (to the point of appearing in pretty much every other skit by the end), and it ends with [=TomSka=] getting blown up by the [[ActionBomb Mine Turtle]]. Given that said episode aired in June 2021 and no new asdfmovies have come out since (despite episodes coming out yearly on average), it's almost prophetic that the episode had so many death references, considering that [[GrandFinale it effectively serves as the "death" of asdfmovie]].

* LGBTFanbase: If the comments are to be believed, the Skateboard Cow-centric music video ''Real Man'' is very popular with transgender viewers.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The 11th episode was panned by some viewers, mostly because of the fart jokes, and even Creator/TomSka recognized this episode wasn't that great. The following episode, asdfmovie12, received a better reception.

* SeasonalRot: ''asdfmovie11'' is widely considered to be the least popular episode to date, mainly because of the [[ToiletHumor fart jokes]] (which the series has gone out of its way to avoid up until this point). The butt jokes even composed the entirety of the lowest-rated asdf sketches in a polling website Tom set up. Even Creator/TomSka himself considers this one an OldShame.

* ValuesDissonance: While the usage of the word "midget" in the "Very Tall Midget" sketch from ''asdfmovie7'' was innocuous enough back in 2013, by TheNewTwenties, the term has fallen into scrutiny as a slur used against people with dwarfism.

** This trope ''also'' gets [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] by Tom giving an ApprovalOfGod when he reacted to [[https://youtu.be/vySEy0qabE4 asdfmovie on [=TikTok=]]], finding most of the clips he viewed as incredibly creative with how they reshape the original sketches. In particular, so long as it doesn't [[SeinfeldIsUnfunny play the song completely straight]] or involve [[PrimalFear puppets]], Tom finds a lot of the [=TikToks=] of The Muffin Song to be really funny.

* UncannyValley: The 3-D modeled people in ''10.'' They just... don't look quite right. Most likely intentional though due to their reactions.
--> '''Guy''': *reverting to normal after taking medicine* This is better.

** Did the student who flunked out of Standing Up School really fail at standing up? Or was he simply trying to do The Flop?
*** The "Everybody Do The Flop" music video has a freeze-frame bonus of a newspaper saying that people are flunking out of the school, providing evidence for the latter, but it's ultimately unclear.
*** Maybe the student who flunked out of the school took advantage of his inability to stand up to create a new music craze. Maybe that flunked student IS the "Do-The-Flop Guy".

** The Beep-Beep I'm a Sheep skit seems to be a metaphor for memes; the sheep does something funny for no reason, it quickly catches on with everyone, and later, when the cow tries to do it again, everyone gets mad at him and nobody wants anything to do with it.

* RetroactiveRecognition: Some of the characters Tomska voices have him use the voice he uses for Tom from WebAnimation/{{Eddsworld}}.

** The girl at the beginning of ''asdfmovie11'' is pretty [[IncrediblyLamePun chill]] about [[BlackMagic turning her dad into ice cream and eating him.]]

* RetroactiveRecognition: Some of the characters Tom voices have him use the voice he uses for his similarly-named WebAnimation/{{Eddsworld}} character.
