History YMMV / FritzTheCat

** And not only that, but that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAPiTYtp9kA entire scene]] will probably make a {{Tumblr}} user roll on the floor laughing. Could also double as HarsherInHindsight and FunnyAneurysmMoment.

* HilariousInHindsight: At one point, a college girl asks why an actor like JamesEarlJones always has to play black characters. Three or four decades later, we have MichaelClarkeDuncan playing [[DareDevil the Kingpin]], Creator/SamuelLJackson playing NickFury, and LaurenceFishburne playing [[{{Superman}} Perry White]].

** Although, with [=Tagline=]s such as "We're not X-rated for nothing, baby!" and "He's Animated and X-rated!", there's really no excuse for thinking it's for kids.

* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:The terrorists Fritz meets near the end of the film. They assault and [[RapeAsDrama rape]] Harriet, then convince Fritz to blow up a power plant. It was Fritz's encounter with them [[EveryoneHasStandards that made him reconsider being a revolutionary]]]].

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: With {{Yiff}} [[{{Rule34}} so readily accessible on the internet]], the film is hardly as shocking as it was back when it was first released.

* AdaptationDisplacement: The film ''WesternAnimation/FritzTheCat'' (which was a MorePopularSpinoff) and its lesser-known sequel, ''WesternAnimation/TheNineLivesOfFritzTheCat''. The animated adaptation was primarily famous for being X-rated. Many, perhaps most, assume it was created by RalphBakshi.

* {{Sequelitis}}: ''WesternAnimation/TheNineLivesOfFritzTheCat'' was written and directed by Robert Taylor, without the involvement of RalphBakshi or R. Crumb. However, producer Steve Krantz and actor Skip Hinnant worked on both films.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: The comic is an early example, although Crumb's graphic novel ''Oggie and the Beanstalk'' was more directly an example of this, as it was mistakenly stocked as a children's book by some stores early on in its distribution. Some distributors confused the film and its sequel for children's films.

* ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs: Subverted. Oddly enough, even though Fritz is shown more directly partaking in drug use, the comic is far less surreal than WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat.
