YMMV / Mashed

• Awesome Art:
  • In general, their animation is seen as of pretty high quality, but in particular, fans liked Samurai Witcher for pretty much nailing the Samurai Jack style while simultaneously paying homage to The Witcher.
  • The Waluigi vs Smash Bros series, a trilogy of music videos showcasing Waluigi's one-man crusade against all 70 characters in the Super Smash Bros Ultimate roster as revenge for not being invited, with heart-poundingly well-done animation to accompany the vocal performance of The Kevin Bennett.
• Awesome Music: Their music videos are often regarded as fan-favorites with such examples as both of Luigi's Lament anime parodies like One Jump Man and Shaggy Ball Z (later both of them crossovering!) or battle raps like Cuphead or Waluigi vs Smash Bros Saga
• Catharsis Factor: In Luigi's Revenge, Disproportionate Retribution aside, one can't help but cheer seeing Luigi fix the "great mistake" he made in Luigi's Lament, breaking himself and his friends out of prison and taking down Bowser's regime after having been his prisoner for 2 years.
• Crosses the Line Twice:
  • "Sonic's Metal Nightmare" crossed it so many times that the animators amusingly wondered if they didn't went too far with it:
    • Eggman robotizing Sonic? Dark. Sonic having oil in his butthole in the process? So evil you have a crack a little smirk.
    • Sonic's friends betraying him for Metal Sonic as he acted like a douchebag with them for the whole episode? Understandable, but a bit disproportionate. Eggman taking pleasure at "repairing" Sonic for his "Wednesday servicing" where the robot is transformed into a Hermaphrodite Sexbot for BDSM performances? Hysterical.
  • "Sonic Babies" has Eggman attempting to teach a de-aged Sonic and friends how to be evil, and at one point he tries to confiscate Tails' tablet when he uses it in class. What he learns upon taking it is that Tails was watching a very poor-quality YouTube Kids' Channel animation with a song about a little hedgehog bleeding from his arm. Eggman spends a moment staring at the tablet in horror and disbelief... and then gives it back to Tails because it'll "mess [him] up pretty good".
    Painter Seap: People seemed to like this part. Show it to your impressionable children. Turn them evil.
• Fanon Discontinuity: Most people pretend that the ending of Paladin Jack didn't happen, finding it to be a rather pointless Twist Ending.
• Funny Moments:
  • The "Sonic vs. Rule 34" series is full of how much it parodies and references Rule 34. From the very first episode, as Eggman states his latest plan to defeat Sonic, he claims that he searched the internet for "inspiration", with a flashback showing him clearly blushing with a gleeful expression, making it very clear that he's looking at porn. In the same episode, Sonic spontaneously learns how to swim out of pure desperation to escape a Rouge octopus.
  • The "Who killed noob69?" animation plays its "Who's on First?" part for laughs, with the white crewmate unable to understand anything his colleague is trying to say, and he eventually caves in under the pressure and shouts his name, "Going2killevery1startingwithU", out loud, drawing as much suspicion to him as possible and getting ejected in response.
  • Most of Cult of the Lamb: Doom & Shroom, especially the way the Lamb and his wife are the only ones with basic common sense, even before the cult goes crazy, his outrage at his followers for leaving his ex to rot on the floor outside, pooping near the crops and even being Too Dumb To Eat, with multiple commenters mentioning that Lamb reminds them more of a kindergarten teacher, a daycare center attendant or a frustrated patriarch than the leader of a cult.
  • For funny moments from the Baldur's Gate III shorts, check the "Meta" tab on the game's Funny page.
• Fridge Brilliance:
  • In a meta sense, the collaboration between Mashed and Rebellion for the animation based on Absalom makes sense aside from the latter owning 2000 AD. Both are formed from British roots (with Mashed being formed by Channel 4 and Rebellion being based in Oxford). 2000AD is an Anthology Comic whilst Mashed releases animations from different artists and writers, in other words, an anthology.
  • In the end of Sonic The Hedgehog: Time Trouble ends with all these Sonic’s from different time lines pop up arguing about how past Sonic should plan his career. This gets Past Sonic so frustrated he kills himself leading to a normal looking hedgehog to exist in the crowd of Sonics. This may seem strange but it makes sense because when Sonic died that made a world where Sonic as we know him dose not exist. But coincidentally some where some how a pet owner named there hedgehog Sonic with no knowledge of the speedy blue mascot and that is who we see.
• Heartwarming in Hindsight: "Yooka-Laylee - Snakey Dealings" had a very cynical ending revealing that Banjo and Kazooie are dead due to not being in any games for years. But then they were revealed as DLC characters for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Looks like they're not dead after all!
• Tear Jerker:
  • The ending to "Betty Help?". After going through all the trouble of trying to help a dying human, Betty finds herself too late with the human reduced to a skeleton. Betty herself stays by the skeleton until her battery dies.
  • The Secret History of Megaman puts a very tragic spin on the classic era, turning Dr. Willy into a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds who's too deep in delusion from his grief to come back to the right path.
  • In Bob the Cowboy Builder, the machines tried to help Bob feel better and it's easy to feel bad for him for all the things that happened:
    Scoop: (to Bob) Come on, mate. You used to be about the people.
    Roley: Whatever happened to us just fixing it for the sake of fixing it? Making good homes for good people? I know you took it hard when Wendy ran off with Farmer Pickles, (Bob loses his cool and nearly crumbles up his blueprint) but it wasn't...
    Bob: (snapping) DON'T YOU SAY THEIR NAMES!!!!!! They are DEAD!!! Understand?! (this frightens the machines, but Roley becomes teary-eyed, then Bob is crying) You want to know what happened? Money happened. Building regulations, the cost of living, feeding Spud's flipping smack habit! All you lot go on about is "the people". (points to the gateway) Look at them outside that gate; they're savages, they don't know what they want. You tell them freedom and they climb all over each other like rats trying to get out of the barrel. (The camera cuts to him pulling out his wallet.) This, this here is power! (He tosses his wallet and lands in front of the machines who clearly had enough and glare at him) Now you spout any more of that commie nonsense again, and I'll strip you down and sell you for SCRAP!!
    (Bob turns around and walks away as Lofty joins the machines and glare at Bob as well, then the stacked houses behind them collapse and they took no notice)
  • Cult of the Lamb: Doom & Shroom ends with the Lamb and his wife (and that guy in the stocks) being the only survivors of the cult after they all devolve into mushroom-induced insanity. All the Lamb can do is hold his wife's hand as they watch the home he helped create burn to the ground, all his efforts collapsing before their eyes. It's a stark reminder that even with all the Black Comedy and Vulgar Humor, there's genuine sorrow to be had, especially for the poor Lamb, who's very likely to be forced to form a new cult elsewhere. At least he has someone by his side for that.
• Unintentionally Sympathetic: Ganondorf in "Super Smash Bros: Pause Attacks" is meant to be seen as a Jerkass getting his just deserts after insulting everyone. However, several commentators felt sorry for him instead since they related to the experience of everyone ganging up on a single player, with him saying "it's only a game" before he gets beaten up echoing Serious Business players taking too much offense to someone else's comments.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Postman Pat, in "Man vs Train: Cartoon Nightmares", is supposed to be seen as a Jerkass Woobie or a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds when his pet cat, Jess, got run over by Thomas, though the cat was revealed to be alive all along in Man vs Train 2, but then only to be accidentally stepped on by Thomas himself. However, it was really the postman's own fault for not being willing to wait a few more moments while the railway line still clearly had an oncoming train, so it's hard to side with him when he wants revenge on Thomas, who is genuinely apologetic about the situation and only becomes antagonistic toward Pat and wanting revenge on him after the postman's repeated attempts to hurt him culminating in Thomas's driver's death by suffocation and Harold being killed with a rocket launcher.
