YMMV / Kevin Temmer

Go To

  • Awesome Art: He's been praised for his unique animation techniques with Autodesk Maya, such as mimicking 2D animation with CGI as seen in some videos. Dan Povenmire even liked Kevin's animation of Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
  • Awesome Music: Kevin has made plenty of catchy songs, such as "Exposition Song" and "What's the Matter, Martha?" which spawned covers.
  • Fan Nickname: Mr. Protagonist has commonly been called "Exposition Guy" after the song where he makes his debut, and he is still called that sometimes, even after Word of God has revealed his official name.
  • Ho Yay:
    • The song "Third-Act Misunderstanding" involves Mr. Protagonist and Mr. Deuteragonist singing to each other. Since mutual singing during Third Act Misunderstandings are often romantic, the subtext could be that they're into each other.
    • In "The Dance Party at the End of the Film", maybe Mr. Protagonist forgives Dr. Antagonist because he has feelings for him? He later holds hands with him when the two are dancing.
  • Memetic Mutation: Temmer himself is responsible for the "I... like the word moist, okay?! It's who I am!" meme that people have used, mistaking it for an actual clip of Elemental (2023), an outcome that he didn't intend to cause.
  • Misaimed Fandom: The "Delete This Tweet" animation is a music video starring a boy band called the "Trash Binz" singing to the viewer about how they should perform the titular action, and has been used by people on websites like Twitter as a response to arguments they disagree with… except that the video itself mocks this kind of mentality, and not even subtly. Putting aside the fact that the Trash Binz themselves are literally anthropomorphic trash cans, they're visually emphasized midway through the video as being condescending hypocrites who gorge on the prospects of gatekeeping people, stirring up drama for the sake of it, or basking in the popular opinions of the mob or an influential figure, and thus aren't liable to be any better than the party they're accusing. Despite its unironic use in some circles (which, given the subject matter, was likely anticipated by Temmer himself regardless), it's clear that the video's actual message is that those who insist others backslide on their opinions so adamantly are liable to be, well, trashy.
