History YMMV / OggyAndTheCockroaches

** The first two seasons are held in especially high regard due to the more cartoony sound design, voices and music, which is felt to fit the tone of the series more than the realistic sound effects and orchestrated music that comes later.

* EvilIsSexy: Being a FemmeFatale with NonMammalMammaries (although the latter later get removed), some people find Lady K sexy.

* FridgeLogic: In one episode, [[ItMakesSenseInContext the entire world gets frozen because of a fridge]]. But, when we see the outside, all of the houses in the neighborhood (except Oggy's) are gone and there's only a snow wasteland. Where did all the houses go?

** The show is particularly well-remembered in UsefulNotes/{{Italy}}. It aired on Italia 1, , K2, Boing, and Frisbee. Of course, it's still broadcast.
** It also appears to have a rather ''large'' following in parts of southeast UsefulNotes/{{Asia}} (notably UsefulNotes/{{Indonesia}}, UsefulNotes/{{Malaysia}}, and the UsefulNotes/{{Philippines}}). However, the rampant AdoredByTheNetwork situation ended up causing a bit of backlash, especially in Malaysia. It aired on NTV

** In the Philippines, it aired across four networks simultaneously. Those four were (in order of acquisition) - Creator/DisneyChannel, Creator/CartoonNetwork, Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, and Creator/{{Boomerang}}.

* TearJerker: "So Lonely". Basically, it's about Oggy managing to drive the cockroaches out of his house, but he eventually gets bored without their pranks. It's sad enough, but the most tearjerking moment is probably the part where he cried... [[NarmCharm like a baby]].

* FirstInstallmentWins: To the Indian fanbase, the Nick Hindi dub is the best for them due to having more passion and feeling compared to the Cartoon Network and Sony Yay dubs.

** It has a rather decent following in the UsefulNotes/{{Arab world}}, airing across three networks. [[Note]]Those being, MBC3, Jeem TV, and Spacetoon.[[/Note]] Heck, there's even a few episodes that are set in UsefulNotes/{{Iraq}} and UsefulNotes/{{Egypt}}.

** "Locked Outside" has the cockroaches [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin locking Oggy outside the house]]. This later influenced the ''WebVideo/SuperMarioLogan'' episode "Locked Out", in which Jeffy locks Mario out of the house.

* VindicatedByHistory: The show was initially criticized by American viewers as nothing more than a ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' rip-off show, rolling their eyes and calling its brand of slapstick tired. Over time however, many started looking back more fondly on the show, appreciating the more surreal elements present, especially in the earlier seasons.

* FoeYayShipping: There are some fans who ship Oggy and Joey; prolly because, despite usually being enemies, [[OddFriendship they can get along well when they want to]].

* AmericansHateTingle: Despite otherwise being successful, the show was never able to crack the [[UsefulNotes/UnitedStates American]] market, at least on TV-- Creator/FoxKids aired it in the late 90s (having also aired several other Gaumont/Xilam shows), moving it to then-sister network [[Creator/{{Freeform}} Fox Family]] shortly after; it faded into obscurity until Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} got the rights in 2015. However, it ended up attracting controversy thanks to the image of a topless woman in one episode. Therefore, Nick quickly shunted it over to sister network Creator/{{Nicktoons}} until their rights expired.[[note]]The show is currently available on Creator/{{Netflix}} and other services in that region.[[/note]]

** Those who know the three cockroaches hate them, and even the ones who tolerate them such as Olivia have their limits, but they have a fanbase themselves. They could also qualify as one of the show's most popular characters.

* UglyCute: The cockroaches.

* UnpopularPopularCharacter: Despite them being widely hated during much of "Fake News", Oggy and Jack are both well-liked by the show's community. Special note goes to the former; while the public hates him even more than Jack (at least initially), he's easily the show's most popular character.
** Most of the characters hate the three cockroaches, but they have a fanbase themselves. They could also qualify as the show's most popular characters.

* CultClassic: Almost everyone on the [[https://oggyandthecockroaches.fandom.com wiki]] treats it like this. And if you think this is a big fanbase. prepare to see Europe and India's.

* ViewerGenderConfusion:

* {{Adorkable}}: Oggy can be this, sometimes. One example is an episode where he bursts onto a stage with people applauding him, and gets so excited he does a little dance. However, he bursts into tears when he realizes the whole thing was a {{hallucination|s}}, [[ItMakesSenseInContext created by the Ghost-Cockroaches]].

* FirstInstallmentWins: To the Indian fanbase, the Nick Hindi dub is the best for them due to having more passion and feeling compared to the Cartoon Network and Sony Yay dubs.

** UsefulNotes/{{France}} genuinely adores it, becoming one of the most known French shows, and is currently being re-broadcasted (in order of broadcast: France 3, Canal J, Gulli, Canal+ Family, Canal+, France 4 and [=TiJi=]).
** It also appears to have a rather ''large'' following in parts of southeast UsefulNotes/{{Asia}} (notably UsefulNotes/{{Indonesia}}, UsefulNotes/{{Malaysia}}, and the UsefulNotes/{{Philippines}}). However the rampant AdoredByTheNetwork situation ended up causing a bit of backlash, especially in Malaysia. It aired on NTV

** The show is so popular in UsefulNotes/{{India}} because of its unique voiceovers imitating Bollywood actors added into the Hindi dub, later the Indian languages dubs on Sony Yay, that it's referenced this in the season 4 episode "From UsefulNotes/{{Mumbai}} With Love". Also, [[Animation/PakdamPakdai a popular Indian cartoon]] takes a ''lot'' of inspiration from it. A reboot of the series, subtitled ''Next Gen'', has Oggy take care of a seven-year old Indian girl as a nod to the series' Indian fanbase.
