Line #0 YMMV/TheAdventuresOfTeddyRuxpin


1	* FanNickname: Teddy, Grubby and Gimmick are the Trio.
2	* FriendlyFandoms: The fandom seems to overlap with fans of ''Toys/{{Furby}}'', ''Creator/ChuckECheese'' and ''The Rock-A-Fire Explosion'', as all three works involve animatronics.
3	* EnsembleDarkhorse: One of the Octopede Sailors, Xena, is well-liked by fans, despite her only having five lines in the entire series, likely because she was seen as a love interest by Grubby, one of the main characters. She also seems to get more fanart made of her than the other Octopede Sailors, especially on Instagram.
4	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: This series was popular in Bulgaria, going so far as to influence the punk rock underground music scene there.
5	* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
6	** [[spoiler:When Teddy's father is reunited with his family.]]
7	** L.B. and Buffy's wedding, especially given how hard all the other bounders work to make the day go off without a hitch. They may be villain/monsters, but it's clear they were rooting for this.
8	* HilariousInHindsight: One of the species of Grundo is the Grunges, and they're very musical. One book is even titled ''Grunge Music''. That book was released in 1985, a few years before the phrase would start to refer to [[{{Grunge}} a completely different genre of music]].
9	* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Teddy in "MAVO Costume Ball" takes on an ''entire room'' filled with villains and ''wins''. He also turns his opening catchphrase from the toyline [[note]]" Hi! My name is Teddy Ruxpin. Can you and I be friends?"[[/note]] into an [[MyNameIsInigoMontoya Inigo Montoya]] moment (by this series' standards, anyway).
10	* NightmareFuel: The flashback to the shipwreck that made Grubby so terrified of the water in "Octopede Sailors", since it involves a young child being swept away by a wave after trying to save his father.
11	* TearJerker:
12	** "Grubby's Romance." Grubby spends the entire episode bonding with a caterpillar named Karen. But the only way they can be together is by the power of the 3rd Crystal, since she's an insect and he's a much bigger octopede. In the end, Karen makes a cocoon to begin her metamorphosis cycle, becoming a butterfly, and Grubby has to enlarge again to be with his friends. Now incompatible given this size difference, they both have to part ways sadly.
13	** "On the Beaches" as well. For the past several episodes, Tweeg has been building a working relationship with his formerly missing father, Elroy, even thinking about leaving villainy all together. Unlike his mother Eleanor, Elroy is encouraging, understanding, and supportive and, if you ignore the whole ParentalAbandonment issue, the better parent. Despite this, Tweeg can't resist his own nature when he tries to steal Elroy's gold medals, even breaking down weeping as he confesses his crime to his father. For his part Elroy even acknowledges that, had he taken Tweeg with him when he fled his wife, his son would not have been as screwed up as he is, and offers forgiveness. Ultimately Tweeg opts to leave Elroy's island, not because he still wants to be a villain, but because he doesn't trust himself not to poison the opinion of the only person in the world he thinks doesn't see him as a perpetual screw-up and disappointment. He even opts to only take the box of seashells he and his father collected as a momentous (though subverted in that Elroy, who figured out he was leaving, had switched the shells for the gold wanting to give his son something to make his life better).
14	* ViewerNameConfusion: People nostalgic for Teddy Ruxpin have had trouble searching for him online due to having believed since childhood that he was called "Teddy Ruck Spin".
