History YMMV / Zoboomafoo

* TearJerker: Jovian, the Sifaka Lemur who portrayed the non-puppet version of Zoboo, died in 2014, over 10 years after the show aired it's final episode. He is still succeeded by his current family members, and numerous fans and series staff have given tributes to him.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The theme song is super catchy and gets you excited for your adventures with Zoboo and the Kratts.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: The claymation used in the "Who Could It Be?" segments is very well-made.

* NightmareFuel: "Grow, Zoboo, Grow" has a jarring scene where, when Chris and Martin return from their adventure, they find Zoboo chained to an automated rack, trying to stretch himself out to grow. The Kratt Brothers promptly release him from the rack to keep him out of danger. Worse, [[FridgeHorror if it would've took longer for the brothers to return, Zoboo's limbs could've been either dislocated or torn off completely.]]

* EpilepticTrees: Thinking too hard about Animal Junction might lead to some horrifying theories. How is it everywhere? Is it in some kind of alternate dimension? Why are animals drawn to it? How do they all get there? Who built the place, was it {{Precursors}}? Why can Zoboo talk only after he's fed? Is he becoming sapient or just learning English? And what on earth is Zobooland?! Animal Junction is a set that was built by the Kratt brothers inside the Duke Lemur Center (the Lemur center run by Duke University) and part of Animal Junction is inside the Lemur cage. Perhaps Zoboo simply does not bother to talk until he is fed, and Zobooland must be sideways through reality. Thusly, there must be a reality warp in the Duke Lemur Center.

* UncannyValley:
** Anytime Zoboo falls into water, his fur is wet and folded back, contrasting with his fluffy normal design.
** The puppet used for Zoboo's real-life scenes looks remarkably like a Coqueral's sifaka. The claymation's more rounded face, on the other hand, feels a little off given how much attention was given to the puppet.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
** Any and all of the AmusingInjuries that Chris and Martin suffer from.
** Also, Chris and Martin pranking each other with ice cubes in "Snow Day".
** The scene in "Pets" where Zoboo tries to teach a lynx kitten how to use a litter box, only for Chris and Martin to explain to Zoboo that lynx kittens don't do that, resulting in this...
--->'''Zoboo:''' Remember what I said about the litter box? Forget it! You can poop wherever you like! Ha ha!
--->''(The lynx kitten goes over to Zoboo's hand)''
--->'''Zoboo:''' No, not on my hand! ''(the lynx kitten sits down)'' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh, no...]]
--->'''Chris:''' There he goes...
--->'''Zoboo:''' ''(groans, then looks away)'' I can't watch...
--->'''Martin:''' He's gonna poop right there, Zob, just hold it...
--->'''Zoboo:''' Not watching...
--->'''Chris:''' [[ExactWords You said "poop wherever you want."]]
--->''(The lynx kitten walks away)''
--->'''Chris:''' Did he poop, Zob?
--->'''Zoboo:''' ''(relieved)'' Oh, false alarm! ''(chuckles)''
--->'''Chris:''' Oh, he PEED! Yeah, he just peed...
--->''(Chris and Martin are amused by this)''
--->'''Zoboo:''' ''(staring at his hand)'' Oh. ''(as Chris and Martin laugh)'' [[SarcasmMode Very nice.]] ''(sighs)''
** Martin randomly becoming a giant in "Giants".

* EarWorm: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj9u6SGB_GY opening theme song]].
** The closing song: "This animal is a friend of mine / From the tip of his nose to his funny behind / All the friends we've met today / Are special in their own way / We've all got different names / But we're really all the same! / Thanks for dropping by we're glad you caaaaaaaaame! / These animals are friends of mine / They jump and swim, crawl, fly and climb / One more thing we have to say / Go make an animal friend today! YEAH!"
** "Who could it be? This animal who I did see. Can you help me guess this mystereeeeey?"
** "They're goin' on a cool adventure and they don't know what's in store / They're comin' from [[ExplodingCloset the closet]] and they're headed [[ThereWasADoor out the door]]"
