YMMV: Monday Night Combat
  • And the Fandom Rejoiced: The double whammy of the free Spunky Cola DLC as well as a PC release on Steam.
  • Ascended Meme: When an Assassin respawns in Super MNC, GG Stacks will describe her as "Like a magic fart" or simply "magic fart!" This is based on a meme from back in Super MNC's very early stages during the closed alpha, where players would describe her new "Leap" ability (Which leaves a large cloud of smoke in the place she leaps away from) as "The Magic Fart." This is also prevalent in the "Magic Fart" Flair (Misc item).
  • Awesome Music - The main theme.
  • Base Breaker: Non-character example: juice.
    • Super Monday Night Combat brought up that good old rift between console and PC players when UberEnt announced it was PC exclusive. Fan Dumb on both sides.
  • Difficult, But Awesome: The Tank is extremely flexible, but his slow speed, slow health recovery, and the variety of skills required to master him are crazy.
  • Demonic Spiders: Gremlins: Mecha-Mooks that are barely visible until they're almost close enough to attack, deal heavy damage against Pros(players), and receive minimal damage from turrets.
    • Jackbots: Elite Mooks which replace Slims and Blackjacks in Crossfire overtime and spawn at an annoyingly high rate in Sudden Death and Super Sudden Death Blitz modes.
    • Every upper-scale bot becomes this in Super MNC's Turbo-Cross mode. Even Blackjacks can strike fear in the hearts of players in the gamemode.
  • Ear Worm - Juice! (Yeah!) Jump! (Yeah!)...
  • Fan Disservice: As demonstrated.
  • Fan Dumb: Seen any time the balance of juice is debated, there's really no middle ground and both sides are adamant about their opinion.
  • Fan Nickname: The Assault's Level 3 Charge is called Shoryuken. Because, aside from the charge, that's what it is.
    • Player-spawned Bouncers in Super MNC are referred to as Bouncer Bros because of how useful they are.
  • Fan Preferred Couple: Wait, so apparently according to fans the Pit Girl apparently has a Slap-Slap-Kiss relationship with the Assassin? Hawt.
  • Funny Moments - the Assasin's grapples with her shuriken launcher, which all consist of slapping the target many times to make getting killed by it even more humiliating.
    • The Support's Heal/Hurt taunt, where he flops around and recites an Ice Cream Koan.
    • The Spunky Cola DLC Trailer has a scene where a rapid series of cuts of each character with a can of the unfortuantely-named drink ends on a Iceman Bouncer holding a can, looking as confused as a robot can.
    • The Assault realises the Assassin;s a chick sometimes after spawning, and then berates himself with "How did I miss that?"
  • Goddamned Bats: Buzzers, Airborne Mooks with a powerful Suicide Attack that are small and fairly fast. Spawned in groups of three in Crossfire by Assaults, arguably the top-played class in public matches.
  • Hate Dumb - Even before launch MNC was being accused of being nothing but a clone of Team Fortress 2.
  • Ruined Forever: Initial reactions to Super Monday Night Combat from some fans.
    • Though the large majority of fans see it as a clear improvement over the last game in most respects.
  • Moment Of Awesome - The Highlight protags, generally. Except for "Better Things To Do".
    • The Annihilator is made for this in Crossfire, clearing the field of rank-and-file bots while dealing about 75% damage to any enemy Jackbots and dealing enough damage to all the enemy players to potentially get a player some assist kills. It's less and less useful in regular and Super Sudden Death Blitz modes though, as bots become more and more resistant to all forms of damage.
  • The Scrappy - Some players view Mickey with annoyance due to his limited number of lines and enthusiasm.
  • Scrappy Mechanic - Juice's balance is widely debated between fans.
    • Assault's Fly skill in Super MNC, due to lack of reliable counters and the sheer reward it gives for too little risk.
