* NeverLiveItDown: If you didn't watch the show when it was airing, chances are you know Angela Anaconda as the show that caused a divorce (see more in MemeticMutation) more that for anything related to the show's actual content.

Not hilarious


* HilariousInHindsight:
** The town is named 'Tapwater Springs'. A report years after the show ended revealed that much of what's bottled and marketed as "spring water" is really just ordinary, filtered tap water.
** A Canadian SliceOfLife cartoon where the animation is the most discussed thing due to its unintentional creepiness? Years later, ''WesternAnimation/AngeloRules'' would follow in Angela's footsteps. The two main characters even have similar names.
** "No Thanksgiving" is [[SickEpisode combined with a sick episode]]. Gordy and Gina, wanting to help Angela have a decent Thanksgiving but afraid to get sick, leave food on her doorstep and after ringing the bell, wish her a happy Thanksgiving from the sidewalk while wearing masks. All tactics that became popular during the COVID-19 pandemic.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: ''Hot Bob and Chocolate" shows a game that resembles magnetic poetry. Real-life teachers sometimes play games like these to teach about sentence structure.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Angela herself; a funny and relatable protagonist or a CreepyChild (no, not the {{Goth}} kind, silly!) with an annoying voice that provides an awful theme song?

Run-in sentence.


* MemeticMutation: The ''Angela Anaconda'' short attached to ''Anime/DigimonTheMovie'' was already regarded as terrible {{filler}} on its own, but rose to infamy after a Website/FourChan user [[https://www.reddit.com/r/greentext/comments/da3t34/anon_really_hates_angela_anaconda/ shared a greentext story]] about how the short caused their parents to divorce when they were a child; the user cried so much when they saw the short instead of the film that the parents dragged them out of the theater, blaming each other for bringing them to the wrong movie, and getting into a car accident in the parking lot, which ended up being the last straw in an already tumultuous time in their marriage.

* DesignatedHero: Some people view Angela in an unfavorable manner. Since the audience is supposed to take her word on Nanette being unlikable despite little evidence supporting it, her treatment and fantasies about Nanette getting hurt or worse comes across as mean. There’s one episode where she imagined ordering her enemies (which includes her older brothers) at a restaurant, which is pretty disturbing for an elementary-aged schoolgirl to imagine.

Not an example of this trope.


* DracoInLeatherPants: Nannette Manoir is often made out to be a complete innocent who Angela torments for no reason: when in fact more often than not Nannette is the one who starts hostilities, to say nothing of her pretentious attitude and disdain for everyone around her.

** The show itself gets a lot of this for the infamous tie-in with ''The Digimon Movie'', likely resulting in the beginning of the extensive online backlash against the show. However, the tie-in was a studio decision and not that of the creators and crew, as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTbBahMd044 confirmed]] by ''WebVideo/{{Billiam}}''.

* MisBlamed: For a while, it was very common for people to believe that the show being owned by DHX Media was what prevented Nicktoons from airing the two ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'' episodes with the original ''Angela Anaconda'' shorts in reruns. This was debunked in the early 2010s when the creator of another ''[=KaBlam=]!'' short revealed on a (now defunct) fansite that Creator/{{Viacom}} still owns the two original shorts, just nothing else. The episodes continued to air in reruns on Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} and on both Nickelodeon and Nicktoons in international markets even after the short was spun-off on Fox Family. It however should be noted that at some point in the 2010s, Nickelodeon did eventually lose the rights to the original two shorts and doesn't include the episodes with the shorts on streaming services.

** The end of "I'm With Stupid", after Angela throws her ventriloquist dummy, Mr Mooey, in the trash; Angela walks away laughing, before we get a final shot of Mr Mooey amongst the garbage as the episode prepares to end with the usual upbeat lead-out music… and then the dummy's eyes bolt open as a ScareCord replaces the final note.
