Line #22 YMMV/HomeMovies


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2	** Nearly every piece of music in the show, but particularly "Don't Kill Children" and "Taste The Fame".
3	** "No Skin Off My Ass" from ''Improving Your Life With Improv.''
4	** "Don't Put Marbles In Your Nose", "Mr. Pants" and "The Wizard's Baker."
5	-->''Put them in there/Do not put them in there.''

10	** "Watch It Again".
11	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpzjLtzuk1I&feature=related I'll Race]]"
12	** He. Is. [[Creator/FranzKafka Franz. Kafka!]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uaaF83eVig Franz Kafka!]]
13	** The entirety of the Franz Kafka rock opera.
14	** FREAKY! OUTY! FREAKY! OUTY! WOO WOO! WOO WOO!
15	** Dwayne's guitar solo at the end of Guitarmageddon.
16	** The "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHDpw1V8c_w Septopus]]" theme from ''The Heart Smashers''.
17	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EI0GETe5YM&pp=ygUPYnJlbmRvbnMgY2FtZXJh "Brendon's Camera"]] is played in the final episode, and boy is it emotional.
18	* CrossesTheLineTwice:
19	** Anytime [=McGuirk=] starts to yell at Melissa for asking questions at the soccer field.
20	** When [=McGuirk=] was acting as a Big Brother for a LittlestCancerPatient, he tells him he's going to kick the ball hard, and boy does he.
21	* CultClassic: A small one, but still a cult classic.
22	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Jason's addiction to candy seen throughout the show is similar to a recently sober person going through a drug or alcohol relapse.
23	* GrowingTheBeard: Not that it was bad even when it was cancelled on UPN (though some viewers were put off by the Squigglevision and the overlapping dialogue...and the fact that UPN [[ScrewedByTheNetwork basically let the show out to die]]), but it really came into its own on Creator/AdultSwim. In particular, "Director's Cut" was a big improvement over the first five episodes, and the series really hit its stride starting in seasons 2 and 3 when the animation switched to Flash.
24	* HilariousInHindsight:
25	** The end riff of the "Starboy & The Captain of Outer Space" theme song was later re-used for the ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' theme song.
26	** Another ''Metalocalypse'' one: In "Temporary Blindness", Tucoo Von Laserstein sounds a bit like a prototype of Skwisgaar Skwigelf.
27	** The fairy princess mascot in "Shore Leave" is basically a prototype [[WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}} Facebones]].
28	* HoYay:
29	** [[ThoseTwoGuys Walter and Perry]] have tons of moments with each other. They even pretend to get married at Andrew and Linda's wedding.
30	** In "Bad Influences" [=McGuirk=] asks Mr. Lynch if he wants to go out on a date. Lynch considers it for a minute before [=McGuirk=] [[ThatCameOutWrong explains he meant]] they'd go on a double date with two women.
31	* {{Main/Squick}}: The rash Brendon develops right before Andrew and Linda's wedding.
32	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Andrew and Linda's newborn kid (as well as Andrew and Linda for that matter), are never seen again after "Coffins and Cradles" and never appear in season 4.
33	* ValuesDissonance:
34	** In "Yoko", [=McGuirk=] has his soccer students kick soccer balls at Eugene for peeing in his canteen. It's treated as justified karma, but nowadays [=McGuirk=] could lose his job for what amounts to a teacher bullying a student.
35	** In "Law and Border", [=McGuirk=] refers to Brendon as his "retarded nephew" in the courthouse-- a term that no one batted an eye at in 2001, but now would get him in hot water if used at all.
36	* VindicatedByHistory: Critics were divided by the show when it first aired on [=UPN=], namely towards its improv-based humor and odd artstyle. When the rest of the first season aired on Adult Swim, they began warming up to it, but it really wasn't until season 2 began that it would earn the acclaim it has today.
37	* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Zig-zagged, but also played straight. Due to the lack of an Adult Swim block in international channels, the show ended up airing during children's timeslots on Cartoon Network UK, as well as on Canadian youth station YTV with a PG rating. Despite its child cast, the show is very distinctively aimed at adults; both due to the occasional innuendo/salty language as well as the pop culture references only adults would get. At the same time, though, the show otherwise doesn't have much in terms of kid-unfriendly content, as compared to most adult animated series, it favors strong, witty, character-based writing [[AnimatedShockComedy over shock humor and sex jokes]].
38	** It is worth noting that later seasons (with more envelope-pushing episodes such as "Curses") didn't finish its run on Cartoon Network UK, and later moved to Teletoon in Canada, where it aired with an 18+ rating, which, to be fair, is a little too out of line. ''Home Movies'' also aired on Cartoon Network in Japan, but to be fair, it's not any worse than a lot of Japanese kids shows.
