History YMMV / BackAtTheBarnyard

** While not immediate following the show's end, the scene where Otis gets milked by the milking machine quickly gained attention online due to some newly-realized sexual context behind it.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
** "You Broke My Heart So I Blew Up Your Farm"
** "Bionic Janitor"
** "Science Montage"
** "2StepN"
** "Hillbilly Holla"
** "You Gotta Move"
** "No Fear Bigfoot"

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: This show might as well be called "Big Lipped Alligator Moment: the animated series".
* CrossesTheLineTwice: “You Broke My Heart, So I Blew Up Your Farm.”

* {{Shipping}}: Otis and Abby, since Abby is basically a replacement for Daisy, the love interest from the film. Though other fans prefer shipping Otis with Daisy.

** The character of Biggie Cheese became a meme, being treated as if he were a highly respected rapper with a large discography despite only appearing in once scene in the film, where he simply sings "Mr. Boombastic" by Shaggy

* VindicatedByHistory: The show wasn't very popular on the internet when it was on, much like other Nickelodeon shows at the time. However, the show now has a small, half-ironic half-genuine cult following that enjoys it for its absurd nature and nearly every episode having memes in them somewhere.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Bigfoot.
** and a random goat (who is later named "Roger".)
** Also, there's Freddy.

* TransAudienceInterpretation: Some audience members have noted Otis having udders, despite being male, indicates that logically he must be a trans man (or rather, bull). [[https://i.redd.it/lvo4qg0pn6m21.png This]] scene is also often cited. It is worth noting, though, that proponents of the theory are aware that it's ''extremely'' unlikely to have been deliberate.

* UncannyValley: The animation of the TV series can be considered rather... odd. Especially when compared to the much more fluid animation of the film it was based on.

** Bingo said he was going to come back, but he ultimately only showed up in the last episode as a cameo. He would've made an interesting EvilCounterpart to Otis.
** Geraldo never tried to expose the animals again.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Many fans were extremely disappointed that the series never had an episode where Dag returns to get his revenge on Otis.

* WhatAnIdiot: In "A Tale of Two Snottys", as the title suggests, there are two Snotty Boys. One is real while the other is Pig in disguise. When Mrs. Beady wonders which one is her real nephew, she (correctly) assumes that the imposter is a talking animal. So when she finds out that Pig is the imposter...
** '''You'd Expect:''' Mrs. Beady to take off Pig's disguise and expose him as the talking animal he is ''right in front of her husband and nephew'', which would finally give her some credibility.
** '''Instead''': She just throws Pig's butt right out the door, therefore ruining her chance.
** '''As a Bonus''': She lets Pig get away with Snotty Boy's clothes on. Leaving her nephew with a worn-out shirt, (rubber?) pants, and old leather shoes.
* TheWoobie:
** The farmer and Nathan.
** In some episodes of the series, Freddy counts as an IronWoobie. Particularly in "Meet The Ferrets" and "Fowl Play".

** Not really ''hindsight,'' but in the episode "Robo-Peck", the characters bring Peck back to life by [[WesternAnimation/RobotChicken turning him into a robot.]]

* UncannyValley: The animation of the TV series can be considered rather... odd. Especially when compared to the much more fluent animation of the film it was based on.

* FridgeBrilliance: In "Paging Dr. Filly, Dr. Filly makes a lot of sayings that don’t make any sense". [[spoiler: It’s subtle foreshadowing that he’s not an actual psychologist and is just pretending to be one.]]

* CrossesTheLineTwice: “You Broke My Heart, So I Burned Down Your Farm.”

** "You Broke My Heart So I Burned Down Your Farm"

* VindicatedByHistory: The show wasn't very popular on the internet when it was on, much like other Nickelodeon shows at the time. However, the show now has a small, half-ironic half-genuine cult following that enjoys it for its absurd nature and nearly every episode being a FountainOfMemes.

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

** Otis is confirmed for Smash.

%%** and a random goat.

** Baxter was an unlikeable little jerk to begin with, but he crosses this in "Puppy Love" where he plots to [[spoiler: marry Duke's sister, then [[NeverSayDie kick his family's various buckets]] to [[GoldDigger take his]] [[AssPull family's fortune of golden dog bones]]]].

* AdaptationDisplacement: Movie? What movie?
** Subverted in a lot of cases, considering the movie was a popular summer blockbuster when it came out, and was frequently talked about on Nick prior to its release.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_e01frusPq8 mmmm cow]], a remix of the scene where Otis repeatedly taunts the mailman.
