YMMV: The Barber Of Seville

The original opera:

  • Adaptation Displacement: as previously mentioned, Rossini's opera has triumphed over not only three competitors in the same genre, but the original play.
  • Ear Worm: Say it with me now: Figaro! Figaro, Figaro Figaro...
  • Memetic Mutation: The rapid-fire "Figaro, figaro, figaro figarofigarofigaro" part of "Figaro's Aria" has been parodied in more works than could probably be counted.


The Woody Woodpecker cartoon:

  • Crowning Music of Awesome: When Woody sings "Largo al factotum" from Gioachino Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Admit it — when Woody s-l-o-w-l-y opened his razor ("colla donneeee-e-e-e-etta"), you gave a kind of shudder, didn't you?
  • Values Dissonance: The Native American customer, who, of course, wears a headdress and carries a tomahawk, in the 1940s — and is made into a cigar-store Indian.
