YMMV: Extreme Ghostbusters
  • Fridge Brilliance: Kylie's proton pack is smaller and differently shaped because she's much smaller and physically less strong than her teammates.
    • That, and she's also wearing the larger Trap on her back!
  • "Funny Aneurysm" Moment: The second part of the series finale episode, "Back in the Saddle," has one scene in which the Twin Towers are being devoured by the blob-like ghost that's invading New York City.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The show was quite popular on Continental Europe to the level that it has a few video game adaptations.
  • Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Slimer has a smaller role here than in The Real Ghostbusters, and is therefore much more tolerable.
    • Additionally, his characterization is more in line with the early days of the prior series. Rather than act like a Cousin Oliver with a dash of We're Still Relevant, Dammit, he behaves the way that made fans like him in the first place: a Big Eater that speaks incoherently and tries to do his best to help his friends.
  • We're Still Relevant, Dammit: Actually, despite putting teenaged characters front and center, the series overall tended to avert this. Still, the title of the show does seem to scream this trope.
    • Fridge Brilliance: Ah, but, the Ghostbusters themselves are not "extreme." The *ghosts* are.
