History YMMV / SabrinaTheAnimatedSeries

** [[Creator/QuentinTarantino Quentin Tarantulino]]. [[WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman Sounds familiar?]]

* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: The reason Sabrina is so disliked in ''Sabrina's Secret Life''. Unlike the actual villains, or the AlphaBitch Cassandra, Sabrina's actions tend to come from her own stupidity or being too quick to jump to conclusions. But because she's the show's protagonist and thus the audience is expected to root for her, she ends up coming across worse than intended. For example, her behavior in "At the Hop" and "Rumor Mill" makes her look worse than Cassandra, since she's the one being a bad friend. The fact that she keeps suffering AesopAmnesia from episode to episode makes her insufferable. This is in contrast to her persona in the previous seasons (and the sitcom), who was well-meaning most of the time.

** "Witchitis" ostensibly is about facing fears about getting vaccinations, with the plot only being solved when Sabrina gets the eponymous shot. But it could also have another Aesop about the irresponsibility of still going out in public if you're showing symptoms of a serious illness.

** Sabrina's adult self in "Anywhere But Here" gets laughed at for trying to play an arcade game. In the late 90s and early 2000s, playing video games was still considered something only children did (or else nerdy {{Basement Dweller}}s, and therefore not females). Adults playing video games is considered far more socially acceptable nowadays.

* IdiotPlot: "Baby Makes Three" in ''Sabrina's Secret Life'' features Sabrina throwing a party while her aunts are away, only for chaos to start when a babysitter shows up. It never crossed the aunts' minds to, you know, ''tell'' Sabrina they hired a babysitter. What did they expect her to do when the woman showed up at their doorstep? Sabrina would've been in the right to think she was an intruder.

** The episode "Witchery Science Theatre" has Sabrina and friends getting trapped in a 1950s monster movie, but the gag is that the monster is really the female lead's boyfriend transformed - meaning Sabrina's influence turns a B-horror flick into a ''Beauty & the Beast'' fable. Fast forward to ''Film/TheShapeOfWater'', which is indeed a ''Beauty & the Beast'' romance within the set-up of a 1950s monster movie.

* EvilIsSexy: Well she's GoodIsNotNice at worst, but Enchantra is something of an antagonist, who's also drawn like a dominatrix with a generous bust line. At least, in the original series.

* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: Gem's life is shown to be empty and lonely, as well as having very high standards to live up to. Except she lives in a BigFancyHouse that even has its own bowling alley, and she mentions plans for an amusement park! Her house looks like it would be lots of fun to live in.

* During the flashback of Gem’s birthday in “What Becomes of the Broken Hearted?”, is she simply being a spoiled brat, as it appears? Or is it because she’s not as happy with her life as she lets on, (as episodes such as “Stone Broke” and “Witchmas Carol” suggest), and something (however minuscule) going wrong on her birthday was what finally triggered some sort of emotional reaction?

** Salem’s triply hallucination in “Truth Or Scare”.

* Earworm: The theme tunes to both series, although the first one especially, since you’ll often hear it being scatted when transitioning between scenes/commercial breaks.
** The fast-paced version that plays over the credits and occasionally during scenes like the roller coaster scene in the ChainedHeat episode also qualifies.
