History YMMV / Hammerman

* BileFascination: The reason many people even checked out the show, to begin with, to see how bad it was. Some things, like the poor (even for the time) animation and the theme song that goes on for far too long needing to describe every detail, really need to be seen to be believed. Coupled with the bad plot, strange lessons, and weird characters, many weren't disappointed.

* WatchItForTheMeme: Unless you were actually around to watch the show during its short-lived existence, you probably learned about it from either WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic or WebVideo/TheMysteriousMrEnter's reviews of it, Rob The Wonderful's Cartoon Clipshow, through its theme song, or through [[DancingBear the general concept of it being an M.C. Hammer cartoon]].

** Gramps was the previous user of the magic shoes, but he needs to find a successor due to becoming too old to use the magic. The magic takes a toll on his body, and he eventually couldn't contain it any more. However, the theme says "Gramps and his ''granddaughter''," meaning that he already had a son or daughter, but we're never shown his child, only his grandkid. The show never addresses the fact that Gramps had either a kid or an in-law who could possibly become his successor. This would not be so noticeable were it not implied in the theme song.

*** It's also implied he wants to find someone with the right attitude, who would use the shoes wisely and well, not just grab the first adult he stumbles across, related or not.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The theme song is reminiscent of Music/MCHammer's "U Can't Touch This".

** Jody went with her grandfather to find a new Hammerman. She knows Stanley, and she knows Hammerman, but she doesn't know Stanley is Hammerman.

* SpecialEffectFailure: Almost the entire show consists of this, like the extremely low number of frames per second or its editing errors.
** A major one is in the opening credits, where Hammerman's model doesn't go all the way off the screen.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The theme song is reminiscent of MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This".

* UncannyValley: There Is something off about the villain Defacely Marmeister.

Hammer cartoon.

*** Then again, there is no indication that Jody ever ''knew'' about Gramps's past; maybe she assumed they were on the road for some other reason.

* BileFascination: The reason many people even checked out the show, to begin with, to see how bad it was. And considering stuff like the poor animation even for the time, to the theme song that goes on for far too long needing to describe every detail. Coupled with the bad plot, strange lessons and characters, many weren't dissapointed.

** In "Defeated Graffiti" Stanley needs quarters to call the police even though emergency numbers are free.

* BileFascination: The show is infamous for this. From the poor animation (even for its day, what with how [[LimitedAnimation limited]] it was even compared to cartoons from decades before, and since, for that matter), to the ExpositoryThemeTune that goes on for a really long time and feels the need to describe every little mundane detail about Hammerman's origin story. With the silly plot, odd lessons, and strange characters, many watch it just to see how bad it is.
