YMMV / Tutenstein

Go To

  • Adaptation Displacement: Most don't know that Tut originally appeared as a character in Jetcat Clubhouse before he got his own show.
  • Base-Breaking Character: Tutenstein aka Tut can be seen as this; fans either love him for his humorous snarks, badass fighting skills, and loyalty to his friends or dislike him for his Royal Brat attitude, impulsivity, and never learning from his mistakes.
    • Cleo. Is she a good friend to Tut who's just looking out for his well-being and wants to make sure he does the right thing? Or is she a Jerkass who's constantly bossy towards Tut, making you wonder why they're even friends in the first place (the worst example of this being "Keep Your Wandering Eye To Yourself" where she denounces their friendship over Tut spying on her with the Eye Of Ra out of jealousy, when he's done a lot worse than that over the course of the series.)
  • Ensemble Dark Horse:
    • Luxor. He is probably the most popular character in the show.
    • Amut has also developed quite a few fans due to her unique design. Even though she only appeared in one episode.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: A lot of fans admit to watching the show just for Luxor's snarky remarks.
  • More Popular Spin-Off: While still obscure, the show is more well-known than the aforementioned Jet Cat Clubhouse. Or any of Jay Stephens' comic book work for that matter.
  • Nightmare Fuel:
    • Tut himself can be pretty damn scary, though most of the time he's more Ugly Cute.
    • Set is definitely this. Serving as a Knight of Cerebus as well as having a terrifying design and a demonic voice, He is probably the most terrifying character on the show.
  • Tear Jerker: "Something Sphinx", the perfect episode to woobify Luxor.
    • "Keep Your Wandering Eye To Yourself" has Cleo being so angry at Tut she decides to stop being friends with him. Even if he was being selfish by spying on her, it's hard not to feel for poor Tut in the episode.
  • Unintentional Period Piece: Cleo mentions green ketchup in the first episode, with multicolored ketchup being a early 2000s fad.
    • The technology in the show definetly puts it in the early 2000s. Everyone uses flip phones and in the episode "Bedhety Late Than Never" Cleo uses a video camera to film a robbery when people nowadays would use a smart phone.
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Cleo falls under this in "Keep Your Wandering Eye To Yourself" Well, yes, it was wrong for Tut to spy on her out of jealousy of her hanging out with other friends, denouncing their friendship was a bit harsh considering he's done a lot worse than that over the course of the series and they've still stuck together and cleaned up his messes.
  • The Woobie: Luxor, especially in the episode "Something Sphinx". Tut counts as a Jerkass Woobie at times.
