History YMMV / BackAtTheBarnyard

* Otis is confirmed for Smash.

** ''[[http://images.wikia.com/nickelodeon/images/8/86/Barnyard_DVD_%3D_Cowman_The_uddered_avenger.jpg The cover of "Cowman: The Uddered Avenger"]]''. Yes, we know it's a kid's show and it's obviously a spoof of a dramatic superhero comic book cover, but there's something so over-the-top corny about it that it hurts to look at it.

** [[http://images.wikia.com/nickelodeon/images/8/86/Barnyard_DVD_%3D_Cowman_The_uddered_avenger.jpg The cover of ''"Cowman: The Uddered Avenger"'']]. Yes, we know it's a kid's show and it's obviously a spoof of a dramatic superhero comic book cover, but there's something so over-the-top corny about it that it hurts to look at it.

* HilariousInHindsight: When Music/WeirdAlYankovic guest stared in the episode "Get Bessy", the big twist was that he's actually a horse in disguise. He has since become a guest star on ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''.

** In "Pig Amok", Brunnhilda, Pig's [[ArrangedMarriage arranged wife]], is always seen berating and insulting Pig (who is too love struck to care) with no redeeming qualities to boot, but it's when she [[spoiler: laughs at Otis' supposed death by "broccoli poisoning"]] that you know she's over the line.

** Bingo said he was going to come back, but he never did. Would've made a good EvilCounterpart to Otis.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Many fans were extremely disappointed that there was not an episode where Dag returns to get his revenge on Otis, and therefore that story only exists in Fanfiction.

* EarWorm: Bigfoot is 8 foot 10, He taught us to love again....
** "Well, you broke my heart, so I burned down your farm!"

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Bigfoot.
** and a random goat.
** Also, there's Freddy.

** The "Viewer Mail" and "Ask Dr. Pig" segments have become memes with the clips replacing various suspenseful moments from popular culture.

* TearJerker: "Otis' Mom" features Bessy depressed because she lost her son when he was very young. It is also [[InMemoriam dedicated to]] Lee Paulsen, Creator/RobPaulsen's mother, who died during production.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Bingo said he was going to come back, but he never did. Would've made a good EvilCounterpart to Otis.

* MostAnnoyingSound: Dear GOD, Snotty Boy! Could you just shut up for five minutes?

** MOOSESHARK

* {{Shipping}}: Otis and Abby, since Abby is basically a replacement for the love interest from the film.

** In "Hypno-A-Go-Go", Otis panics when he [[ItMakesSenseInContext supposedly killed what was thought to be the farmer while under hypnosis]]. But his panicking sounds far too hilarious to be taken seriously. Since he considers the farmer his dear, dear friend (his words), one can't help but feel more seriousness and oomph should be put into it.
* {{Shipping}}: Otis and Abby.

** In "Dead Cow Walking", where Otis thinks he's dying and Pip gets real depressed over it.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Many fans were extremely disappointed about the show not depicting an episode where Dag returns to get his revenge on Otis, and therefore that story only exists in Fanfiction.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: This show might as well be called "Big Lipped Alligator Moment: the animated series".
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome:

** Meta example: Creator/TinoInsana's (Pig's VA) passing on May 31, 2017.

* HilariousInHindsight: When Music/WeirdAlYankovic guest stared in the episode "Get Bessy", the big twist was that he's actually a horse in disguise. He has since become a guest star on ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''.
* MemeticMutation: Many videos exist showing a suspenseful/climactic scene being interrupted by Pig's viewer mail segment, where he reads a letter pointing out that he's interrupting said scene.

** Meta example: The death of Tino Insana, the voice of Pig, on May 31, 2017.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The use of Music/TomPetty's "I Won't Back Down" in the movie. Sung by Ben's voice actor Sam Elliot but easily (and often) mistaken for Music/JohnnyCash, who also recorded the song.
** "Wild 'n' Free" by Rednex.

** Winky the ghost rabbit pretty much trying to fling the protagonists into ''Hell'' for exorcising his fellow ghost pets and declaring that if he can't have their bodies then [[HeroKiller they can't either]]. [[spoiler:Fortunately, Otis comes in to save the day]].

* {{Shipping}}: Otis and Abby
