YMMV / Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa

Go To

  • Adaptation Displacement: The Arcade Game has effectively displaced the Cartoon series in noteriety. Nowadays, you'll know a lot more people who have played the game, and mentioning the cartoon series to them will result in "This was based on a cartoon?"
  • Awesome Music: The series intro sang by Billy Dean is a pretty good country song.
    • First chapter, first minute and we see the three heroes making their appearance by singing together.
    • Every time Cowlorado Kid sings.
  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: When Skull Duggery frees himself from his mine in "Skull Duggery Rides Again", he visits a literal ghost town where he recruits two other ghosts for his revenge scheme. The town is never seen or mentioned again after that episode.
  • Complete Monster: Skull Duggery, despite only appearing in the episodes "The Legend of Skull Duggery" and "Skull Duggery Rides Again", is one of the vilest villains to appear in the show. Skull Duggery was originally a old miner, by the name of Tom Duggery, who staked a silver claim and was too greedy to share it with anyone. He died in a cave in, but his ghost continued to haunt the mine. Marshall Moo's Kid Sidekick, Cody Calf, and 2 other kids go to the mine to look for the silver. Skull Duggery catches them, traps them in a mine shaft and fills it with water, attempting to drown the children. Marshall Moo saves the kids and causes another cave in, sealing Skull Duggery in his mine. However Skull Duggery escapes a year later. Obsessed with revenge against Marshall Moo, Skull Duggery recruits 2 other ghosts to help him. Skull Duggery plans to use a magic spell that rapidly ages everything, people and buildings alike, to destroy Cowtown.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Lily Bovine gets this a lot as she is a Ms. Fanservice and has plenty of fanart, including more naughty material.
  • Fetish Retardant: Sadie Wowcow would definitely be sexy, provided that she doesn't open her mouth as she sounds like a failed attempt of a man acting like a Femme Fatale.
  • LGBT Fanbase: They're pretty manly bulls, so it's to be expected that there are a good number of queer fans.
  • Narm Charm: The concept of the show is so ridiculous, people can't help but enjoy it.
  • No Problem with Licensed Games: The game received praise for its quality and extremely fun gameplay, which is effectively Konami's earlier and excellent Sunset Riders with the Wild West license tacked on. Four players can play at once, and has plenty of stimulating action and good music. The Arcade game was good enough to cause Adaptation Displacement.
  • So Okay, It's Average: People who remembers this show think of it as a knock-off of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but still hold enough water to be a unique show on its own.
  • Spiritual Successor: To Sunset Riders, in which it is a multiplayer run-n-gunner where four players can play at once, complete with a Western Theme.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The cast is said to have been regular animals before the comet mutated them, yet humans are never seen or mentioned.
  • Toy Ship: The child characters in the show are often paired like Cody and the buffalo calf Tejua. Also between Cody's two friends, there's him and Carly, or Carly and Jacob.
