History YMMV / CharlieTheUnicorn

* DrinkingGame: Try watching all four of them in a row, taking a drink every time someone uses Charlie's name.

** The Millipede Song.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Nyx is characterized as a voice of reason trying to stop a force for evil in the world [[spoiler: but arguably the whole crisis with the Chaos Spirits is to a significant degree his fault. He arrives at the door leading to the other dimension with the intent of studying it because he fears it might be dangerous, but he has no expressed contingency plans for what to do about the danger, and is never shown attempting to stop the Chaos in any way except a late HailMary. The Order of Tutelary Weasels didn't know the door to the other dimension existed and apparently didn't even want to go explore the cave containing it until Nyx arrived and expressed his intentions. During a climactic confrontation the villain calls Nyx out on having no real idea what he's doing.]]

* HilariousInHindsight: The Millipede is not the only [[{{WesternAnimation/Moana}} giant sparkly narcissistic arthropod to sing about how amazing and fabulous they are]].

** [=YouTuber=] The Sin Squad's essay ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-X-WxZnqx0 Charlie the Unicorn: Capitalism as Apocalypse]]'' outlines the full length of anti-capitalist sentiment throughout the series (and especially the finale), including: Pink and Blue [[spoiler:being jetsetters who exploit everything around them for their own gains]]; the weasels' coveting of the Tower as [[spoiler:an analogue for USA imperialism, and how the country only wants power to benefit itself without using that power to make life better for anyone]]; the race of bugs [[spoiler:representing the wealthy only caring about a species-erasing problem once it affects their bottom line (eg. climate change)]]; and how [[spoiler:capitalism will try to distract and wear people down with individualist suggestions (Feeling blue? Just get a better job! Buy this product! Put a banana in your ear!) and when that fails, outright telling them to shut up and just be happy because things are 'good' the way they are now (the "Everyone is Smiling" song.)]]

** These lyrics from Charlie's song in the finale might hit hard for those with mental health issues (though it doubles as a heartwarming moment, as it reminds us that these feelings ''are'' valid):
--->'''Charlie:''' Everyone's smiling and I've got a frown\\
[[ArmorPiercingQuestion But why should I smile as they toss me around?]]\\
I'm told the issue is inside my head\\
While ''they'' make a world that is withered and dead!

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Quite a lot, one of the most obvious being the proposition that the two unicorns are in fact a pair of sadistic psychopaths bent on psychologically torturing Charlie through their facade of being [[SickeninglySweet sickening cutesies]]. See the WildMassGuessing page for more. [[spoiler: More or less confirmed by the fourth episode, and definitively confirmed by the GrandFinale.]]

** [[spoiler: Starfish's HeroicSacrifice in episode 4. Not only does he save Charlie from the duo's most twisted stunt yet, but he's the only person in the entire series to that point who has ever managed to get the better of them in any way.]]

-->'''Blue:''' ''(To [[spoiler:the now possessed]] Pink)'' Who are you? Who are you!?

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Too many to count.
