Line #4 YMMV/SkunkFu


1	* AccidentalAesop: If you do something that is helpful and would save countless lives without the approval of your superiors, [[DisproportionateRetribution you must pay dearly!]] Even if you asked for said approval, but just got the silent treatment and were left to take a shot in the dark.
2	* CultClassic: While calling the show a classic would be a tad hyperbolic, it does have a small but devoted fanbase because of its endearing characters and appealing animation.
3	* EnsembleDarkhorse:
4	** Fox. For [[ActionGirl one reason]] or [[MsFanservice another]], particularly within the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom.
5	** Dragon, for his sheer [[UnintentionallySympathetic Unintentional Sympathy]].
6	* EpilepticTrees: To this day, people are still convinced that Panda is secretly a future [[Franchise/KungFuPanda Po]].
7	* FriendlyFandoms: Many who enjoy the series are also fans of ''Franchise/KungFuPanda''.
8	* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: [[BigBad Dragon]] [[TheComicallySerious in a party hat and blowing a noisemaker]].
9	* InformedWrongness: The BigBad, Dragon, is mentioned to have been "punished for his arrogance". In his full backstory, it's said that the valley the characters live in was under an intense drought. When Dragon asked the Heavens if he could use his water powers to stop the drought, the Heavens didn't respond at all. So Dragon went ahead and ended the drought with rainfall. The Heavens then punished him by stripping him of his water powers and trapping him in a mountain prison. So... he arrogantly [[UngratefulBastard saved the valley]], apparently.
10	* JustHereForGodzilla: It's hard not to talk about this show without mentioning Dragon's backstory at least once. He's even suitably reptilian!
11	* OlderThanTheyThink: Some mistakenly assume the show to be [[FollowTheLeader a cash in]] on the success of ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda1'', despite the movie being released over a year after the show's premiere.
12	* RootingForTheEmpire: After hearing how Dragon was imprisoned in a mountain for trying to help the valley, and seeing how much more unsavory the characters are than him, it's hard NOT to want him to destroy everyone.
13	%%* ShipToShipCombat: Just TRY shipping [[FoeYayShipping Skunk/Rabbit]].
14	* SoOkayItsAverage: What some people and most of the shows fans generally feel this way about it. The humor is usually meh most of the time, and there's [[{{Fartillery}} quite a bit of jokes involving Skunk's "natural talent"]], but many consider it to have been at least slightly better than most shows on ''Creator/KidsWB'' at the time. A lot of the shows fans also consider the characters to be quite memorable as well.
15	* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: One of the main reasons some people are so hostile to the show is because they believed it was a cash in on [[WesternAnimation/YinYangYo another show about anthropomorphic animals performing kung fu that was wildly popular at the time]]. Some also accuse it of being a rip-off of ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda1'', but as noted above, ''Skunk Fu'' came a year before ''Panda'' came out.
16	* UglyCute: Pig.
17	* UnintentionallySympathetic: Though he does have his moments of cruelty, Dragon's story of how he came to be the shows villain does make some viewers side with him.
18	** Arguably it's more a case of ValuesDissonance. While Heaven's actions towards Dragon might seem cruel and unjust, one should remember that the series itself has its roots in Chinese and Asian culture in general which emphasizes authority as always being in the right which contrasts with the individualism and independence valued by western audiences.
