History YMMV / BadHareDay

* DesignatedHero: Tim Swanson may as well be [[Literature/GoEatWorms Todd Barstow]], minus the pranks and fascination with worms, the latter of which is replaced with the former protagonist's love for magic. The difference here is that while Todd is [[HateSink intentionally written as an asshole]] who never hides the fact that he's a jerk, Tim tries to paint himself as underappreciated by his parents and everyone else, even though he's just a complete nuisance towards everyone who watches his inept attempts to perform magic tricks, he's a terrible friend to Foz by forcing him to bring the latter's sister's rabbit and not caring what would happen to it when he almost loses it, he steals his idol's magic kit, and he only cares about how his parents would react when they discover his sister has transformed into a rabbit, and not the concern for his sister herself.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Tim Swanson is portrayed as the character who is underappreciated by everyone around him, including his parents, as no one seems interested in his love for magic. However, it's very difficult to commiserate with him when not only does he claim the crowd should extol his magical act despite not being very talented of a magician, he's an awful friend towards Foz, he steals the magical kit from his idol, he's a compulsive liar, and when his sister gets transformed into a rabbit, Tim is far more worried of the fact that he might get into trouble with his parents and not showing any concern for his sister in the slightest. [[spoiler:Needless to say, no one feels bad for him when he is transformed into a rabbit himself as his idol's assistant.]]

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Amaz-o gets a few due to how grumpy he is, such as when he tells Foz that someone with [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude that name]] has no business making fun of a sorcerer named Frank.
