History YMMV / StrangeBrew

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPwXQeDXXGU theme song]] by Ian Thomas is a simultaneously epic and hilarious OdeToIntoxication.

* ItGetsBetter: [[BreakingTheFourthWall Mentioned by Bob himself during the audience leaving the initial film]], the actual plot of the movie gets more interesting once they get involved with the Eisenore Beer plot.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments[=/=]TearJerker:
** In the climax, after Jean [=LaRose=] saves Pam, Bob, and Doug from the institution, they decide to split up to take down Brewmeister Smith, Bob going with Pam, and Doug going with [=LaRose=]. This leads to an emotional moment where both [=McKenzie=] Bros. say goodbye to each other before they split. Doug took it well (or is at least a StepfordSmiler about it), but Bob already misses him and starts crying.
--->'''Pam:''' You mean you've never been apart?
--->'''Bob:''' *crying* Never, never... we've always been together!
** [=LaRose=]'s HeroicSacrifice to save Pam from drowning also counts. Thankfully he gets better.
** A small one early on is Pam taking care of Bob after he drinks four-month-old chocolate milk and suffers the inevitable results.
--->'''Bob:''' Gee, you're real nice, Pam. If I didn't have puke breath, I'd kiss you.

* MoralEventHorizon: Smith murdering Pam's father.

* NightmareFuel: In spite of it being a comedy about two inane brothers, it's still focused around a conspiracy to [[TakeOverTheWorld control the entire world via special chemicals added to beer]] and the conspirators are willing to do anything including murder to get their objectives completed.
** Pam being stuck in the gate as it currently generates electric sparks, which would've led to her being electrocuted to death had it not been for Doug and Bob saving her in the nick of time.
** When Pam and Henry discover the edited footage, they find Smith choking her father to death when the latter confronts him on his scheme.
** The way the institutionalized patients were brainwashed into mindless drones to attack others and the darker implications of Smith's plan had it succeeded- possibly leading to anarchy had it not been stopped.
** Pam is strapped to a bed about to be lobotomized while mad laughter and a patient screams about being spared. [[FridgeHorror Which given Smith's character, it's very likely some of the patients are actually innocents deliberately detained in order to be experimented on]].
** When Claude attempts to balk out of the plan, Smith grabs his head and tells him that the only reason he's not crushing his head is that he still needs him for the plan- which he makes very clear as loud cracking noises are heard.
** Later on Smith's orders, Claude is tasked to kill Rosie but when a patient attempts to warn the nurse about the attempted murder, Claude decides to euthanize the other patient instead with seemingly no guilt. [[{{Hypocrite}} He certainly had the stomach for murder after all]].

* TearJerker: In spite of the comedic aspect of the story, it surprisingly has a lot of tragedy and centers around a murder needing to be avenged.
** At the beginning, while partially played for laughs, Bob and Doug are confronted by a man and his crying children who is distraught over disappointing his children about the poorly made movie the duo made. Bob feels guilty enough to give them the beer money as a refund to ease their pain.
** Pam finds out that her father had been murdered by Smith for interfering with his plan via his ghost showing it on the video game screen rather than the edited electrocution story they made others believe. She is obviously distraught over this fact.
** Doug, Bob, and Rosie seemingly drown in the river with the police looking on with sorrowful music playing in the background. [[MoodWhiplash This ends up being subverted when it turns out they somehow managed to survive underwater via storing oxygen in beer cans]].
** While partially played for laughs, the situation to split up causes the first separation of the two brothers in the film, with Doug attempting to [[StepfordSmiler pretend it's no big deal]] while Bob is distraught.
** Pam sees the ghost of her father, who tells her to stop his plans, bringing both sadness and closure to the story.
