YMMV / The Incredible Worlds of Wally McDoogle

Go To

  • Anvilicious: A few of the morals could be this, but in particular, the anti-video gaming and anti-TV ones in the superhero stories of books 18 and 23 respectively trump them all.
  • Ass Pull: My Life as A Splatted-Flat Quarterback features Opera having a terrible home life, something that had never been brought up before then, and in fact, dialogue implied that Opera's parents weren't even abusive and cared about him. On the other hand, though, the entire story wound up being All Just a Dream, so whether or not this is actually the case for Opera is unknown.
  • Bizarro Episode: Wally's adventures are pretty strange, but the winner for the most BLAM-arific installment of the series would be #13 My Life As A Blundering Ballerina. Basically, Wally and Wall Street think each other have it easy, so they switch places to see who has it tougher. The book is chock-full of Big Lipped Alligator Moments involving them (mostly Wally) doing each other's stuff (Wall Street plays football while Wally babysits a houseful of rowdy children). It starts to make more sense at the end, but it still qualifies for this trope.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The climax of My Life as a Toasted Time Traveler. Wally enters a Bad Future where he became a dictator and left everyone to die, and his future self winds up being eaten by rats as toy Wally dolls run around him chanting "We love you, Wally. You are great!" Fortunately, it just winds up being a nightmare.
