History YMMV / ButtUglyMartians

** The show also follows the formula set down by WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 with TotallyRadical colour-coded junk food loving non-human heroes aided by human allies - well over a decade after the trend had died out.

** ''Butt-Ugly Martians: Zoom or Doom'' for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 and UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube is an uninspired racing game panned for its lack of challenge.
** ''Butt-Ugly Martians: BKM Battles'' for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance has the player control the Butt-Uglies while they explore different areas and gather keys to go to the next stage of each level and defeat the boss. The game isn't perfect, but is better received than ''Zoom or Doom''.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The show has an interesting concept and some good character designs, but is let down by poor writing and awful animation. Had the show been traditionally animated, it may have at least been better remembered.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Was most popular in the UK, at least with the people marketing it.

* UncannyValley: A lot of viewers consider the human characters to be even more butt-ugly than the titular Martians. Shaboom-Shaboom also falls into this with her more realistic appearance compared to the rest of the characters, humans included.

* EarWorm: ''B! K-M! B! B! K-M!''[[note]]BKM, by the way, stands for "Butt-Kicking Mode".[[/note]]

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The show's theme song is very catchy.

** BKM, by the way, stands for "Butt-Kicking Mode".

** ''Butt-Ugly Martians: Martian Boot Camp'' for the PC, where the player chooses to play as B-Bopa A-Luna, [=2T=] Fru-T, or Do-Wah Diddy to earn points in various minigames to determine whether they are worthy to continue invading Earth for Emperor Bog. The game is considered mediocre.

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: Inexplicably managed to get three different licensed games. They're mediocre to terrible.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Despite the quality of the show, its theme tune is oddly catchy.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: [[MeaningfulName The title is accurate to a degree.]] But it isn't just the martians that are [[IncrediblyLamePun butt ugly]].
** Oddly, the action sequences involving space ships usually looked quite nice, completely contrasting the stilted character animation.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The show's premise of alien invaders falling in love with the place they're supposed to be conquering is admittedly quite interesting, and it has a lot of good ideas and character designs. But the show is more interested in fart jokes and using overdone storylines to actually do anything with these ideas. And of course, the clunky animation doesn't help.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Just what exactly made them think that parents would like their kids watching a show with a name like "Butt-Ugly Martians"?

* StylisticSuck: A good argument in favour of the martians looking ugly is, well, this trope - it's called "Butt-ugly martians" for a reason. The humans, however... (See UncannyValley)

* UncannyValley: Keep in mind, this show was considered cheap and ugly even back in 2002!

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Just what exactly made them think that parents would like their kids watching a show called "butt ugly martians"?
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The absolutely ''glorious'' remix of the intro theme then the trio of aliens transform.
