Context YMMV / MeetTheFatheads

Go To

1* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:
2** Melon Man. Was he really evil, and trying to kill the Fatheads with [[MadeOfExplodium explosive melons]]? Or was it all an accident, and Melon Man didn't know that the melons were deadly?
3** Meta-wise, Rollo is generally considered a TakeThat against the wallaby he was based on, including said wallaby. While it's ''definetely'' true that Rollo isn't a very complimentary portrayal, he's also [[TokenGoodTeammate the sole character remotely resembling a decent person]]
4* AmericansHateTingle: Rollo has no characterisation outside of being [[TheBogan a block-headed Australian stereotype]] with a really crude take on the country's accent and dialect. At least one Australian felt alienated by this portrayal.
5* BaseBreakingCharacter:
6** Rollo. Some [[EnsembleDarkhorse loved him from the beginning]], others [[TheScrappy did]] [[CreatorsPet not]].
7** The baby Fathead introduced in the revival. Some saw it as a needless addition that would upset the natural comedic balance of the classic series. Others were more open to the character, as he was created by the original writer.
8* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: A lot, like the pencil sharpener guy who will appear randomly during an episode and say "Meanwhile..."
9* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The Chameleon Brothers remake was never finished, and only a handful of design documents have ever been found. Due to the nonsensical plot and horrendous animation, most fans don't consider this a big loss, but still keep circulating them for trivia reasons if nothing else.
10* MakesAsMuchSenseInContext: It's a very...weird show. A married couple beating each other up with parking meters, grossing out everyone around them, and an Australian-accented beaver who slams his head into everything.
11* MemeticMutation: Yep! You broke it! You finally broke it! You [[LargeHam SMASHED!]] [[PunctuatedForEmphasis MY!]] [[EyeScream EYE!]] Now what, huh?! Boy, are you gonna get it now...
12** "Guess what I got?" "A lobotomy?!"
13** "Don't give him anything!" (squishes head)
14** "Would you like some cheesecake, Rollo?"
15*** "Yes, thank you mate." (smashes head against table) "Thank you. It was delicious mate."
16** "That's IT! The bake sale is OFF!"
17** "Pineapples!"
18*** "Oh, boy! When are we gonna have pineapples, mate?"
19*** "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! G'night, hosers."
20* ParanoiaFuel: Melon Man. So, there's this friendly guy who you trust, and delivers food to you every day. Then, one day, his food turns out to be MadeOfExplodium, and almost kills you and your spouse when it explodes.
