History YMMV / Monkeybone

* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: Chris Kattan, who ''convincingly'' does a Creator/BrendanFraser impression -- and is convincing as a jelly-limbed corpse, too.

* NightmareFuel: [[CatGirl Miss Kitty's]] heavily implications of eating the mouse guy.
** The coma realm in general, a place filled with GrotesqueGallery residents, all of whom subliminally inject nightmares into the living in order to continue leaving and can potentially do a GrandTheftMe should the need arise to cause mischief while the real person is left imprisoned forever.
** The Nightmare sequence where Stu ends up in one of his paintings that involves a surgeon trying to cut into Stu, who is a carrot in this scene.
** A lot of the inhabitants of Down Town. They really are the monsters of nightmares due to how eerily hyper-realistic and exaggerated they look.
** The scenes where Stu is forced to take the body of a dead corpse might be disturbing to some viewers.
** Oneirix, InUniverse, IS, IN FACT, literal nightmare fuel. [[spoiler: Monkeybone and Hypnos' plan is to use it to cause nightmares at a mass scale thanks to the Monkeybone dolls]].

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The stop motion is easily [[JustHereForGodzilla the best thing about the movie]].

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Stu nearly dies, leaving his body open to use to another soul -- a chance pounced upon by his eponymous creation (which, in his head, is the embodiment of his libido). While Monkeybone wreaks surreal havoc in this world, his creator has to barter with Dream and Death in the hereafter.
* WTHCastingAgency: Creator/BrendanFraser, a man often cast as action leads, as an awkward, dorky cartoonist. Hard to believe this guy would draw a cartoon like ''Monkeybone''.

* UncannyValley: The residents of Down Town with the exception of the [[CatGirl Miss Kitty]], are all nightmarish distorted and exaggerated in creepy cartoonish ways, including a cow woman, a camel man, a {{Gonk}} pig, a Ganesha lookalike, a bull man, an anthropomorphic bee woman, etc. Justified in that they're physical nightmares made manifest.
** Hypnos is a satyr with a horned, goat like upper structure of a normal man yet lower half of a stubby goat, creating a dissonant sense of off-putting when looking at him.

* NightmareFuel: The {{cat girl}} implications of eating the mouse guy.
** The coma realm in general.

** A lot of the inhabitants of Down Town. They really are the monsters of nightmares.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The dark, dreary version of "Love Is a Drug" that plays at Hypnos' party is an interesting cover of the song.

* [[BizarroEpisode Bizarro Film]]: Contains SurrealHorror mixed with DerangedAnimation.

* HumorDissonance: Stu's ''Monkeybone'' cartoon is in-universe praised as a stroke of comedic genius that is sure to become a merchandising giant, but to most viewers it just comes across as like a really low-effort GrossOutShow and the shtick of the Monkeybone character himself appears to be that he constantly displays annoyingly hyperactive and sleazy behavior and engages in not particularity funny impersonations.
