YMMV / Andy Capp

Go To

  • Adaptation Displacement: Today, Andy may be recognized more from either his appearance on Family Guy, or his likeness on his endorsed brand of snack foods, as opposed to his comic strip.
  • Values Dissonance: Andy is a wife beater, which was Played for Laughs.
  • Why Would Anyone Take Him Back?: Even Flo doesn't always know. For that matter, given the apparent lovelessness of their marriage, why does Andy bother going back? (It's the whole "needing food and shelter" thing...)
  • Woolseyism:
    • The Italian version of the strip calls Andy and his wife, respectively, Carlo and Alice, and is even named after them.
    • In Sweden, their names are Viktor and Vivan, respectively, since it's less English-sounding.
    • In German, Andy is known as Willi Wakker, as made well-known by an infamous question in The Chase.
