1!!The Cartoon
2* AdaptationalDisplacement: Raise your hand if you know the books this show was based on.
3* CreepyCute: The termites from Episode 1. ''Especially'' the little ones. (They could qualify for regular cute, but they're still giant insects under Insectiva's command.)
4* CultClassic: It still has a small yet dedicated fanbase to this day, despite never really receiving much mainstream attention.
5* EnsembleDarkhorse: Chester/Kid Rot only appeared in two episodes, but is beloved by the fans for his status as TheWoobie and VillainousCrush on Abby.
6* EsotericHappyEnding: "Go Fish" ends this way. While Ty and Abby repelled the mutant hagfish for the time being, they're still free to wreck havoc on other marine ecosystems, and could resurface at any time.
7* FandomSpecificPlot: Stories about new agents joining the Bureau of Grossology (usually [[LoveInterest Naomi]], [[AlphaBitch Paige]], or [[HeelFaceTurn Chester]]) have been making the rounds.
8* FridgeBrilliance: Conjunctivitis (a.k.a pinkeye) can be caused by mold exposure. Now think of what happens in Pinkeye's debut episode...
9* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: As scary as the whole situation was, it's refreshing to see Fartor treating Far-Ty so well, considering the [[BadBoss usual trend]] of villain-minion interaction in fiction. He even said they were family!
10* HilariousInHindsight: A tall, skinny female with long hair[[note]]or, in the latter's case, wings that look like hair[[/note]] and an association with bugs...are we talking about Insectiva or [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon UB-02 Beauty/Pheromosa?]]
11* NightmareFuel: Can be found [[NightmareFuel/{{Grossology}} here]]. [[SarcasmMode Have fun!]]
12* {{Squick}}: [[SarcasmMode What did you expect from a show]] called ''[[MeaningfulName Grossology?]]'' The entire point of the series is to [[{{Edutainment}} educate people]] on topics that most people would find disgusting!
13* TheWoobie:
14** Chester. A young scientist picked on by his classmates, he tried to make something that would wow them all...and ended up getting infected with a parasite that gave him a [[MakeThemRot highly destructive]] SuperpoweredEvilSide that he has absolutely ''no'' control over. Poor kid needs a hug.
15** Fartor/Larry, who could also be considered a JerkassWoobie. He grew up being continuously abused by his brother (via getting farted on) [[AdultsAreUseless all while his parents did nothing to stop it]] and as a result mutated into an ugly monster who can't even move around without a flying suit or ''even breath oxygen''. To top it all off, when confronting Gary as an adult, the latter didn't seem to have any concern over the fact that he had ruined his brother’s life, brushing off the bullying as just some typical “boys-will-be-boys” antics and only begging for forgiveness when threatened by the former’s wrath, and even the so-called "good-times" they had together were still ruined by a Dutch Oven prank. It really underlines how much of a {{Jerkass}} Gary is and it's no wonder why Larry was out for revenge.

17!!The Game
18* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The game started to gain infamy after WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} made a stream featuring it, resulting in people seeing it as a "crappy '90s game with gross-out humor".
19* CultClassic: People who grew up in the '90s have fond memories of the game and admit that it does do its job in being educational in an amusing and compelling way.
20* HilariousInHindsight
21** The fact that Paul the Buttcrack Plumber is voiced by Creator/CharlesMartinet, who would later be better known as ''the'' voice of [[Franchise/{{Mario}} another, much more famous plumber]].
22** As WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} had joked about, Buddy O'dor looks like [[Music/{{Gorillaz}} 2-D]].
23** Some have pointed out that Ginger looks like [[Anime/KillLaKill Mako Mankanshoku]].
24** People may also notice that Ralph Alloverem looks a lot like [[WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrys Nigel Thornberry]], even speaking in a British accent.
25* MemeticMutation: Thanks to WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}}, some of the narration has become this: ANAL SPHINCTER. You know...''your BUTTHOLE.''
26* {{Narm}}: The game contains legitimate information about anatomy, but it’s often overlooked due to the way it’s presented and the ridiculous voices for the instructors.
27* NauseaFuel: The game pulls no punches talking about the gross parts of anatomy.
28%%zce* SoBadItsGood
29* ValuesDissonance: The game uses a lot of [[EthnicScrappy ethnic stereotypes]].
