Line #6 YMMV/BeakmansWorld


1	* AdaptationDisplacement: This series was based off a comic strip called ''You Can With Beakman and Jax'', which continued long after the show's cancellation, only ending [[DiedDuringProduction when its' author died]].
2	* DuelingShows: with ''Series/BillNyeTheScienceGuy''
3	* GeniusBonus: In a segment explaining the science behind breaking boards, Lester says that is black belt his actually a white belt that's never been washed. Although it's played as a joke reinforcing how gross Lester is, it's also really how black belts originated. Karate students would be given a white belts, which would not be washed. As their skills developed, their belts would get more soiled gradually turning black.
4	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff:
5	** Brazilians love Lester. The series as a whole was very popular in Mexico as well. In fact, Beakman is so beloved in both countries that Paul Zaloom has done live performances for many years. A show at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in 2014 was attended by thousands of Mexican fans, with huge screens to supplement his stories and experiments... and as a plus, the original Mexican dubber (Juan Alfonso Carralero) was doing the voice live to boot!
6	** Paul Zaloom also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFkSUSE35iw congratulated]] the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instituto_Politécnico_Nacional Instituto Politécnico Nacional]] (IPN) on its official day. IPN owns Canal 11, which broadcasts his show in Mexico.
7	* HilariousInHindsight:
8	** When Beakman explores how cars work, Lester states that they run off of explosions right off the bat. Josie tries to silence him, saying that the viewers won't bother to watch if they already know the answer, but Lester replies that they'll tune in to watch [[StuffBlowingUp explosions.]] Fast forward to a certain ''[[Series/MythBusters other]]'' EdutainmentShow. ...and of course, one segment was completely ''about'' explosions...and then there was a third that was all about dynamite...cue even ''more'' explosions.
9	** Also the fact that there was an occasional segment actually ''called'' Mythbusters, which would point out common misconceptions, such as how pencils are often stated to write with lead, when they actually use graphite.
10	** Whenever Liza would introduce Beakmania, her voice would usually be digitally altered. Years after she left the show, she (along with Mona Marshall) would take up several female roles on WesternAnimation/SouthPark.
11	* ReplacementScrappy: Josie is ''always'' the most-liked assistant in fan polls; Phoebe is ''always'' the least-liked because Phoebe is less friendly towards Lester, and that she had a tendency to be a [[DeadpanSnarker smart-aleck.]] So is Liza on occassion.
12	* RetroactiveRecognition:
13	** For Creator/AlannaUbach; in fact, her reason for leaving after Season 1 was her role in ''Film/SisterAct 2''. These days she's also known for her roles in projects such as ''Film/LegallyBlonde'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'' and ''Series/{{Euphoria}}''.
14	** Among voice acting enthusiasts, Eliza Schneider may be best known as one of Creator/MaryKayBergman's replacements on WesternAnimation/SouthPark after the latter's tragic passing.
15	** Latin American Spanish fans, as said above, will easily recognize the [[SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing rather awesome]] LA-Spanish voices. Juan Alfonso Carralero (the semi-official VA for Will Smith and David Hasselhoff) wasn't the only popular dubber there: Creator/SalvadorDelgado (Lester), Creator/LauraTorres (Josie) and [[Creator/RocioPrado Rocío Prado]] (Phoebe ''and'' Liza) had quite the roles.
16	* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The show's cinematography and set design (cramped, dimly-lit but highly saturated colors, dutch angles, fish-eye lenses and extreme close-ups) is the most identifiably [[TheNineties '90s]] visual style you can possibly imagine. This, more so than even the ScienceMarchesOn present, dates the show very specifically to the time when it was originally produced and aired.
