History YMMV / LifesAZoo

* EvilIsSexy: For [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furries]] perhaps. Minou is a former supermodel, but she's more mean and bitchy than outright evil; Bobbie is evil.

* HilariousInHindsight: Doctor D's voice actor Creator/JosephMotiki would later appear on Canada's ''other'' animated reality TV parody as Ryan in ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace''.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Whether Jake is a irredeemable {{Jerkass}} or a likeable loser whose pathetic nature makes him far more likable than the majority of the cast.
* CargoShip: Jake and Juanita, a papaya; to be fair to Jake, he was [[MushroomSamba horribly sleep-deprived]] at the time.

* CrazyIsCool: Ray is a complete party animal, and totally off the wall, and his craziness has saved the day a couple of times.
* EnsembleDarkhorse:
** Moreski. There's even an episode dedicated to him.
** [[BrokenBase Jake]] is either this or a [[TheScrappy annoyance]].

* HilariousInHindsight: Doctor D's voice actor Joseph Motiki would later appear on Canada's ''other'' animated reality TV parody as Ryan in ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace''.

* CrazyAwesome: Ray is a complete party animal, and totally off the wall, and his craziness has saved the day a couple of times.

* HilariousInHindsight: Doctor D's voice actor Joseph Motiki would later appear on Canada's ''other'' animated reality TV parody as Ryan in ''WesternAnmation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace''.

* TheWoobie: Just watch [[spoiler:the last episode, and try not to cry along with Chi Chi]].
** Episode 14 was on her birthday, and no one paid any attention to her; worse, she gets saddled with the job of nurse when the others get sick after eating some of her food, which was Ray's fault.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Moreski. There's even an episode dedicated to him.

* JerkassWoobie: Jake at times

* TearJerker: Jake suffers a breakdown when he overdoses on everyone's addictions as a replacement for his own, and when he goes to the hospital, the other houseguests are told he won't make it; thinking Jake's dying, they have a group hug, and hold a mini memorial for Jake. He gets better, so long as he can stay away from Minou that is.
** Chi Chi's descent into insanity and misery brought on by her horrible roommates

** Episode 14 was on her birthday, and no one paid any attention to her; worse, she gets saddled with the job of nurse when the others get sick after eating some of her food, which was Ray's fault.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Every episode featured a music video played while the houseguests took part in some activity, but they saved the best for last. [[spoiler:Episode 20 featured a more somber song ("Leave Alight" by Krista Muir) playing while [[EasyAmnesia amnesiac]] Chi Chi was watching the entire run of the show to get her memory back; the depressing music plays while Chi Chi starts her [[BreakTheCutie mental breakdown]], when she sees how badly [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone the show has changed her]].]]

* TheScrappy: Minou for being an obnoxious nagger who is a jerk to everyone. Dr D for similar reasons plus being a black stereotype.
* TakeThatScrappy: Minou [[spoiler: being put in a body cast]] so her nagging won't be heard as much in Season 2

* BaseBreaker: Whether Jake is a irredeemable {{Jerkass}} or a likeable loser whose pathetic nature makes him far more likable than the majority of the cast.

* EvilIsSexy: For [[FurryFandom furries]] perhaps. Minou is a former supermodel, but she's more mean and bitchy than outright evil; Bobbie is evil.

* ReplacementScrappy: Bobbie for Claude, the former less sympathetic and overall not as affable as the former.

** Chi Chi's so descent into insanity and misery brought on by her horrible roommates

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: [[HoYay Why are the monkey and crocodile in the closet?]] [[ItGotWorse And that was in the first episode.]]

* TearJerker: Jake suffers a breakdown when he overdoses on everyone's addictions as a replacement for his own, and when he goes to the hospital, the other houseguests are told he won't make it; thinking Jake's dying, they have a group hug, and hold a mini memorial for Jake.
