* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: The novel was a major influence on many 20th-century philosophers (most notably the [[{{UsefulNotes/Existentialism}} Existentialists]]), novelists, and filmmakers, and has been imitated endlessly. Among the most famous [[SpiritualAdaptation Spiritual Adaptations]] are Creator/RalphEllison's novel ''Literature/InvisibleMan'' and Creator/MartinScorsese and Creator/PaulSchrader's film ''Film/TaxiDriver''. After decades of high-profile homages, modern readers may find the book played-out or underwhelming.

* MisaimedFandom: This novel--like most of Dostoevsky's work--has been a perennial favorite of atheists, nihilists, and other with whom the conservative, deeply religious Dostoevsky would have vehemently disagreed. It doesn't help that the entire first half ''seems'' to be an AuthorTract for such a worldview. (It's not till the second half that the Underground Man's contentions are turned on their head.)
