YMMV: Jeeves And Wooster

  • Crowning Moment of Funny: Gussie's drunken speech at Market Snodsbury. Heavily shortened and toned down from the book, but it's still hilarious, and can arguably double as a Crowning Moment of Awesome for Gussie, even if very few of the characters think so.
    • Aunt Dahlia, on the other hand, thought it was a fine afternoon's entertainment
    Aunt Dahlia: "If you see Spink-Bottle, tell him he has made an old woman very, very happy[...] It restores one's faith in post-War whiskey."
  • Ear Worm: The theme. It doesn't help that it's used as the basis for the entire score. Or that it perfectly suits the tone of the show.
  • Fandom Berserk Button: Jeeves is not a butler. He is a valet (or a gentleman's gentleman). There is a difference. Woe betide you if a fan hears you refer to him as such...or, worse, as a chauffeur. And in British English, the t in valet is not silent - so VA-llut, not valéy. (That said, if the call comes, Jeeves can "butle with the best of them.")
  • Ho Yay: To the point that the Ho Yay section for Wodehouse's works could as well have been called the Jeeves & Wooster-section (with a sideorder of Psmith).
  • Idiot Plot
    • Ordinarily, Idiot Plot is a put-down. But here, the fact that most of the cast are idiots is essentially the premise of the series, so there's no harm done in calling these plots what they are.
  • Magnificent Bastard: Jeeves
  • Tear Jerker: "Well, then... Leave, dash it!" "...Very good, sir." Jeeves is blinking an awful lot as he turns away.
  • The Woobie: We dare you to not want to give Bertie a hug after all the crap he goes through in some episodes. True for the books as well.
