History YMMV / FreddiFish

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: After catching the sharks and taking back all the toys from them at the end of the second game, Luther gives themhis action figure saying the Squidfather deserves one toy. He didn't have to do this after what they did, so the fact he did this generous act is quite touching.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Luther. Half the fandom views him as a hilarious comic relief side character and the source of all of the games' most memorable moments, and the other half views him as an annoying Scrappy with a grating voice, constantly perceiving himself as hilarious, and never shutting up. Even some of the people at Humongous seemed to hate him, if some in-house spare time drawings (including one of Fatty Bear fishing Luther out of a lake) and hidden development Easter Eggs (Eddie Eats Luther) seem to suggest.

* IdiotPlot: The entire plot of the fourth game hinges on PoliceAreUseless at its worst. Sheriff Shrimp apparently goes out of town and hires absolutely nobody to take his place while he's away, which is the whole reason the plot happens at all if a conversation at the end is any indication. Furthermore, the minute Sheriff Shrimp actually ''does'' make himself useful, Freddi still has to intervene and remind him that there was one more guilty party in the whole ordeal, a fact he apparently never considered.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Although still a BaseBreakingCharacter even afterwards, it's also worth noting Luther got a pretty hefty amount of CharacterDevelopment after the first game. He was originally portrayed as much more egotistical and far less likable, not helped by the fact he was more interested in becoming rich in finding the treasure rather than actually focusing on the important part. Besides that, he never actually did anything useful aside from knocking the first bottle off the rock, which was the result of what most consider an overly repetitive gag anyway. His egotism was ''majorly'' turned down a notch in the second game and he was shown making himself a lot more useful (such as being sent to retrieve Casey's glasses and actually helping retrieve some of the game's items).

* ItsEasySoItSucks: ''Water Worries'' gets its fair share of this.

* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Averted.]] In "Eddie Eats Luther", Freddi seemingly crosses it when she feeds her friend Luther to Eddie the electric eel. [[spoiler:Of course, that was just her imagining this. It was also non-canon to the game.]]

* MostAnnoyingSound: In ''[=ABCs=] Under the Sea'', Freddi and Luther's voice clips can get pretty repetitive, at least if you aren't part of the game's target audience. They can be quieted or muted, but only along with the other sound effects.

* PanderingToTheBase: The series was originally based around problem solving with several educational values buried within the gameplay and several humorous moments, making it fun for kids and adults. Nearly a decade after Creator/{{Atari}}'s buy-out, they got 1st Playable Productions to create ''[=ABCs=] Under the Sea'', a game based around learning about letters, words, numbers, directions, and colors. What the heck? And despite this, the game tries to ride on the previous installments' success by pointing out that it's from the award-winning series with 15 million copies sold worldwide...not mentioning that the rest of the series was made by different people. (Additionally, one of the game's [[SpellMyNameWithAnS alternate titles]] is ''ABC's Under the Sea'', which is [[WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma grammatically incorrect]].)

* TheWoobie: Poor Casey. He [[BlindWithoutEm can't see without his glasses]], is worried about his father's reaction to him losing his glasses, and is apparently ostracized by the other kids if his song is to be believed.

* AwesomeMusic:

** Also the music from ''Maze Madness''. Levels 21-25 have a really cool pirate theme. Listen to it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qtuoi--RUR0 here.]]

-->'''Casey:''' ♪They won't play with me and they call me names, 'cuz they'd rather read the rules than play the game!♪

* AssPull: Augie the octopus [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands suddenly having the ability to change color]] in ''[=ABCs=] Under the Sea''.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Quite a few didn't know Freddi was a girl until they played the fourth game, where her gender gets uttered at the very beginning. It doesn't help that she was called a guy at the end of the first game. Her gender can be determined as early as the second game, though, when the player gives Mr. Triplefin his business card. Mr. Triplefin called the two of them boys, at which Freddi corrects him that she is a girl.

* MeaninglessLives: In ''Water Worries'', at least if you aren't part of the game's target audience. See ItsEasySoItSucks above.
** Also if you use the Junior Helper in both games then ''Maze Madness'' qualifies as well.

* Squick: [[ItMakesSenseInContext Freddi using a spittoon to color a hat.]] Even Freddi is disgusted by it.

* TheyJustDidntCare: "Frankly Freddi" on the old Humongous web site was a place where you could [[FourthWallMailSlot ask Freddi a question and she'd respond]]. Thing is, the person(s) who wrote these answers hardly put any thought into the answers, and we ended up with several CaptainObvious answers that [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot could have been awesome to finally know about.]] One example: Freddi's parents' names are [[UnnamedParent Mr. and Mrs.]] [[SpeciesSurname Fish]].

* AwesomeMusic: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E7wtaj25QE The Sunken Ship]], hands down.

* UnfortunateImplications: In the British dub of Hogfish Rustlers of Briny Gulch, almost all the characters have American accents! (except Freddi and Luther) Even those who weren't even Western, like the pufferfish.

* DemonicSpiders: ''Water Worries'' may be EasierThanEasy, but that doesn't stop the jellyfish from being way more annoying than they need to be. They come out of red bubbles like all the other enemies, and they will happily block any ammo that happens to cross them. They also descend incredibly slowly and if you happen to run into them, they shock Luther an make him unable to use his ammo [[GoodBadBugs unless you get Percival to drop a bowling ball on him.]] As if that weren't enough, if you are one who likes to shoot everything in sight, you're going to get many of them on the screen at once, and they will make the level a whole lot more painful to play than it needs to be. And they're only ''[[DifficultySpike the second enemy in the game.]]''
