Line #4 YMMV/SheepInTheBigCity


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic:
2	** The [[Music/TheBeeGees Bee Gees]] parody [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK5YYu2h764 "My Voice is so High"]] from the episode "Party of the Shear".
3	** There's also the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL49MHfSSrc Clearance Day song.]]
4	* BizarroEpisode: The season one finale "To Sheep, Perchance to Dream" definitely qualifies as an episode out of the ordinary even by this show's standards, since most of it consists of toying with the trope of [[AllJustADream unusual events turning out to be dreams]] and has a GainaxEnding where Sheep turns out to be EvilAllAlong and uses the narrator in his narrator-powered ray gun. Absolutely none of this is ever brought up again in the second season.
5	* BrokenBase: While people have a nostalgic fondness for it, there's still debate even today on whether or not the show was just as strong as the rest of the original line up of ''Cartoon Cartoons'', or if it was below the quality standard of the other shows at the time. Much of it comes down to the shows humor, which largely relied on wordplay cutaway gags and lighthearted absurdity, which seems to be a LoveItOrHateIt take for many.
6	* HilariousInHindsight:
7	** In X Agent's debut episode, General Specific starts going through letters that he thinks sound mysterious, one of which is [[Manga/DeathNote L]].
8	** [[WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}} A certain Disney movie]] also ends with the innocent, put-upon sheep actually being evil.
9	** In the years since the series ended, WesternAnimation/ShaunTheSheep has come into existence. He's more recognizable in the modern scheme of things and a major element to the plot of his first movie was him and the flock getting lost in the city.
10	** In one of the Ranting Swede segments, the Swede postulates "If they can put a man on the moon, why can't they [[Film/{{Moon}} leave him there]]?"
11	* HoYay:
12	** There's this, from the pilot, even:
13	-->'''Private Public:''' ''(detects Sheep on device)'' I think we've got something, sir.\
14	'''General Specific:''' Yes, Private; we have a ''special'' something. Let's not lose sight of ''that''.
15	** Sheep's interactions with the X Agent can come off as more intimate than just friendship. Notably, Sheep's love interest Swanky is absent in both of the X Agent's episodes.
16	* MoralEventHorizon: Dr. Oh No No No trying to destroy the world for seemingly no reason easily counts.
17	* TooBleakStoppedCaring: While it wasn't without its fans when it was airing, part of the reason the show didn't take off was because the amount of abuse and misfortune that Sheep endures every episode was considered off-putting by some (considering Sheep is barely anthropomorphic).
18	* UglyCute: Sheep is on the borderline of this and a RidiculouslyCuteCritter.
19	* ViewerGenderConfusion: The Plot Device lacks characteristics indicating gender, but is confirmed to be female in "Party of the Shear".
20	* TheWoobie:
21	** Sheep. He's constantly being harassed by a military orginazation bent on using him to power a ray gun, is always getting harmed by a bratty little girl and a rich old woman who beats him with a stainless steel wig and he can also feel very lonely at times on top of this. Poor thing needs a hug.
22	** Farmer John can also count as a depressingly sympathetic character, given how upset he is over Sheep leaving the farm and his difficulty in accepting that Sheep likes living in the city. It's a lot like a parent missing their fully grown child and wishing they could just stay home.
