History YMMV / TheWiggles

* UncannyValley: The aforementioned Wiggle Puppets, and some of their [[https://youtu.be/uPRSS46BU40?t=1m58s early attempts]] (Pre the ''Space Dancing'' DVD), to render the human members with computer graphics. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vwi2bp2zMc The 2D animated sequences]] aren't any better.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Their collaborations with Rolf Harris are definitely this after his conviction for child sex crimes.

* InternetBackdraft: Greg Page's return caused some of this, especially in regard to how Sam's departure was handled. And then it arguably got even ''worse'' when Emma became the Yellow Wiggle.

** Now married!

** A special mention goes to "[[Wiggly Medley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwHdqN50pws]]", the song that accompanied the credits in The Wiggles. It takes some of their most popular songs, ups the tempo, and rolls them all in to one song that flows really nicely.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Several, but ''Do The Twist'' and the cover of ''Octopus's Garden'' are really quite awesome.

* UnfortunateImplications: When it was announced that all but one of the original Wiggles were retiring, there was some InternetBackdraft, especially when the replacements were unveiled. However, the replacement to get the most hate online was (and remains) Emma Watkins, who replaced Greg Page. The reason? Emma is a woman. [[HeManWomanHater Apparently, the mere fact of being a woman]] [[GenderRestrictedAbility is enough to discount anybody's possible skills and talent and to therefore automatically bar a woman from ever being a legitimate replacement.]] What really seals it is that it isn't the children who are complaining -- it's the [[PeripheryDemographic adult "fans"]] who are responsible for this.

* Misblamed: Anthony seems to get blamed for a lot of things that aren't his fault (see, for example, Sam's departure). This could possibly be the result of his IAmTheBand status.

* ReplacementScrappy: Sam was this to many fans who grew up with The Wiggles through TheNineties and the better part of the TurnOfTheMillennium. Bizzarely, Greg became one himself to many long-term fans when he replaced Sam, mainly because of the controversy over how Sam was allegedly treated.

* UnfortunateImplications: When it was announced that all but one of the original Wiggles were retiring, there was some InternetBackdraft, especially when the replacements were unveiled. However, the replacement to get the most hate online was (and remains) Emma Watkins, who replaced Greg Page. The reason? Apparently, a woman can't be a Wiggle. For the most part, it wasn't even a matter of whether or not having a woman as a children's entertainer would be problematic in terms of gender representation and roles.

However, the replacement to get the most hate online was Emma Wiggle, who replaced Greg Page. The reason? Apparently, a woman can't be a Wiggle. It wasn't even majorly a matter of whether or not having a woman as a children's entertainer is problematic. Emma is a woman, so she cannot be a Wiggle. What really seals it is that it isn't the children who are complaining -- it's the [[PeripheryDemographic adult "fans"]] who are responsible for this.

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: On January 18th, 2012, the group announced that [[http://www.thewiggles.com.au/au/mediacentre/news/184 Greg Page would be returning]], much to the joy of many fans. However, this rejoicing was short-lived, as it was announced in May 2012 that Greg would depart ''again'' (along with other original members Murray and Jeff) at the end of the year. This lead many to wonder what the point was of bringing Greg back.
