History YMMV / SuperMilkChan

* CultClassic: Not a masterpiece by any means, but it is still a fine series for those who love to watch [[WidgetSeries TV shows that are flat-out bizarre in tone]]!

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: There's a scene in the Anime that falls straight in to DerangedAnimation that ends with (in the GagDub) Hanage declaring the only explanation for the scene is "These drugs are fuckin' AWESOME".

* SoBadItsGood: The whole point of the show, to say the least, given it's wacky and bizarre nature.
* SoOkayItsAverage: On the other hand, it is the general consensus of the anime series for some of the other viewers who watched it, given its overall ratings on [[https://myanimelist.net/anime/1769/Oh!_Super_Milk-Chan My Anime List]] and [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0224534/ IMDB]] and [[http://www.tv.com/shows/the-super-milk-chan-show/ TV.com]].
* VindicatedByHistory: During it's initial broadcasts in the late 1990s to mid 2000s, the series received lukewarm reception at best, being criticized for it's bizarre humor most didn't get or enjoyed at the time, and fell into obscurity once it ended. Years later, the series became fondly remembered as a unique piece of anime history at the turn of the century and Creator/AdultSwim's early years, to the point where it has earned a cult classic status as an underappreciated gem of a bygone era of comedies.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: The commercials on Creator/AdultSwim made it pretty easy for viewers to mistake the show as the kids, until you see the words "Super" "Milk" "Chan" show up on a black screen. Plus the show is rated TV-14, or TV-PG for the Vintage episodes.

* {{Moe}}: Milk Chan

* EarWorm: Tetsuko's Belgian waffle song can really get stuck in one's head.

** The Straight Dub has (more-or-less) the right balance of sweet and sassy in its tone and the voice performances for all of the characters, especially Milk Chan’s and Tetsuko’s (see SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct below), are really good, but the Japanese references and live-action sequences might not be everyone's cup of tea.
** The GagDub has American Pop-Culture References that some fans might really appreciate and contains live-action sequences with footage of the English voice actors that are not half-bad, but the incredibly mean-spirited nature of said dub puts it at a significant disadvantage, especially with the unnecessarily cruel portrayal of Milk Chan, and Marcy Bannor's voice performance as the voice of Tetsuko pales in comparison to [[Creator/MonicaRial Monical Rial's]]!

* HarsherInHindsight: The GagDub's slams against Music/MichaelJackson and James Gandolfini come off a bit mean these days since both men died unexpectedly.
* SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct: For the Straight Dub, [[Creator/HilaryHaag Hilary Haag]] puts up an excellent performance for Milk Chan, thanks to a combination of having both deadpan speech and a very convincing and adorable voice suitable for a toddler rolled into one, while [[Creator/MonicaRial Monica Rial's]] voice role for Tetsuko is far better and cuter than Marcy Bannor's performance in the GagDub.
* {{Moe}}: Milk Chan herself is quite adorable!
* MemeticMutation: BELGIAN WAFFLES!!!!!
* SoBadItsGood: The whole point of the show, to say the least, given it's wacky and bizarre nature! On the other hand...

* TakeThat: While the original was mostly {{shoutout}}s, the GagDub skewered just about everything, [[SelfDeprecation including itself]].
** UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush's administration is a frequent target.
--->''"Attention. Attention. Radar has detected an armed nuclear missil—I'm sorry, [[InsistentTerminology a 'weapon of mass destruction']] heading for our country."''
** ''So'' many jokes about gay culture any time the landlord is on screen.

* AmericansHateTingle: The series had a pretty cold reception in the USA (it's the 12th lowest rated show on Anime News Network). The [[WidgetSeries widget]] nature of the show and the fact that the "straight" dub was the one aired on Creator/AdultSwim are probably the biggest reasons.
** For what it's worth, just about everyone (including the cast and crew at ADV) agrees that the gag dub is the superior version, in that it's actually watchable.

* {{Moe}}: Admittedly, Milk Chan herself is quite adorable.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: There's a scene in the Anime that falls straight in to DerangedAnimation that ends with (in the GagDub) Hanage declaring the only explanation for the scene is "These drugs are fuckin' AWESOME"
* Woobie: Tetsuko.

** The Gag Dub makes it even worse, slapping a TV-MA for harsher language.
