* {{Adorkable}}: George is consistently put up and a little clumsy but he is still charming.
* HypeBacklash: A lot of people seem to worship the short as a masterpiece of writing, design and character. Just as many people seem to disagree; the split comes from the debate of whether the film works as 3D animation that ''looks'' like 2D animation, or whether it should have been completely 2D-animated.
* MemeticMutation: It's common to edit the opening scene, replacing George and Meg with other fictional couples. For examble [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Bob and Helen Parr]] or [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable]].
* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: How is it that a short that utilizes both 2D and 3D animation look so beautiful and move so lifelike?
