History YMMV / Grossology

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: While the show does have a dedicated cult following, its {{squick}} and NauseaFuel-heavy premise has given the series an unsavoury reputation in certain circles, with the {{Edutainment}} aspect of the show being lost on many and others going as far as to accuse the series of being "fetish-y". This was certainly not helped by the AdaptationDisplacement that occurred with the original children's non-fiction books.

* ValuesDissonance: The game has definitely not aged well, and have it not be so veiled in obscurity, it likely would get backlash for its rampant use of [[EthnicScrappy ethnic stereotypes]].

* QuestionableCasting: A lot of people are shocked to see that Charles Martinet voiced in this game. Although he voiced Mario two years prior to the release of ''Grossology'', it was unexpected since this game is so obscure.

* WTHCastingAgency: A lot of people are shocked to see that Charles Martinet voiced in this game. Although he voiced Mario two years prior to the release of ''Grossology'', it was unexpected since this game is so obscure.

* CreepyCute: The termites from episode one. ''Especially'' the little ones. (They could qualify for regular cute, but they're still giant insects under Insectiva's command.)

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The game started to gain infamy after WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} made a stream featuring it, resulting in people seeing it as a "crappy 90's game with gross-out humor".
* CultClassic: People who grew up in the 90's have fond memories of the game and admit that it does do its job in being educational in an amusing and compelling way.

* AmbiguousDisorder: While their actions can easily be passed off as typical CartoonishSupervillainy at first glance, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that a lot of the villains in the show seem to show signs of having mental disorders, as a lot of them exhibit extreme [[NoSocialSkills antisocial behavior]] and act [[TheSociopath borderline psychotic]], sometimes due to [[FreudianExcuse a traumatic event]] that happened to them in the past.
** Insectiva is an antisocial MisanthropeSupreme with an unhealthy obsession towards insects, which she believes are superior to humans.
** Fartor seems to be psychologically messed up from [[BigBrotherBully his brother]] farting on him throughout his childhood to the point of flat-out abuse. He's also very antisocial, to the point where he's perfectly content with [[spoiler: living on the moon]].
** Sloppy Joe HatesBaths despite being an adult and as a result is completely lacking in personal hygiene to a grotesque degree. He also doesn't have any regards for the people around him being affected by his filthiness.
** Lance Boil, V.K., and the Scab Fairy display signs of [[{{Narcissist}} Narcissism]].
** Mr. Fowler displays delusional thoughts, is neurotic, and has a hatred and fear of pigeons.
** Dr. Cornelius Colon suffered bullying in school which has turned him into a sociopath who is only friends with giant tapeworms.
** Chester is introverted, moody, and has a psychotic infatuation with Abby which manifests through his Kid Rot alter-ego.
** Basso Profondo stuffs himself with food to the point of morbid obesity (likely as a coping mechanism after falling out of stardom), refuses to share food, [[ItsAllAboutMe has no consideration for the people around him]], and unlike the other villains, his gimmick has very little to do with his backstory and one could wonder where he even got his affinity for burping from, whether it'd be a closet burping fetish or some other reason. He's also completely oblivious to how disgusting he is to other people (barring [[{{Fanboy}} Mr. Archer]]) and displays some narcissistic traits.
** Gary Gumdrop is an AxCrazy psychopath with no regard to oral health, to the point where his teeth have completely rotted.

* HilariousInHindsight: A tall, skinny female with RapunzelHair[[note]]or, in the latter's case, wings that look like hair[[/note]] and an association with bugs...are we talking about Insectiva or [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon UB-02 Beauty/Pheromosa?]]

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Chester/Kid Rot only appeared in two episodes, but is beloved by the fans for his status as TheWoobie and [[FoeYay relationship with Abby]].

* FoeYay: It's heavily implied that Abby and Chester have mutual feelings for each other, with the latter keeping them even after his transformation into Kid Rot.

* FanPreferredCouple: The top pairings in the fandom seem to be Abby/Lab Rat, Abby/Chester, and Ty/Naomi.
