History YMMV / CarBoys

* DeathOfTheAuthor: In light of Nick's infamous firing from Polygon following sexual misconduct allegations, a lot of the fans of the series see it as a case of appreciating the art while distancing themselves from the creator.

* AscendedFanon: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiYV9FfbevA This fan animation]] showing the ultimate fate of [[spoiler: Busto 1.0]] was declared canon by Nick and added to the official playlist for the series on Polygon's Youtube channel. When watching the series in order, it plays right after the related episode.

* HarsherInHindsight: The series focuses in large part about the strong friendship between Nick and Griffin. Several months after its conclusion, Nick was fired from Polygon after multiple revelations of sexual harassment were investigated by Polygon and later confirmed by Nick himself. The scandal resulted in Griffin publicly ending his friendship with Nick shortly after. These factors make their connection become more tragic knowing what came later.

* CounterpartComparison: The finale has a lot of similarities to the Stolen Century arc of Podcast/TheAdventureZone. Specifically, the Blob is [[spoiler:the Hunger, an all-consuming being that has become a SealedEvilInADuel by chasing our immortal heroes that are doomed to forever flee from it.]] On a lighter note, the Ball has been joked to be [[spoiler:the Light of Creation.]] The fact that Griffin is a (co-)creator of both series and produced them around the same time makes this especially noticeable.

* MostWonderfulSound: Any time Clair de Lune starts up, being the theme song for the show and its amazing moments.

* AwesomeArt: The second title card (Drawn by Louie Zong), which is full of [[CallBack Call Backs]] to earlier jokes, like the Sky Galleon, Planet Class Locomotive, and crucified plane, as well as what appears to be a stand off between [[CompanionCube Busto]] and [[EldritchAbomination Busto 2.0]]. All while Nick poses dramatically in the middle.

* HeartwarmingMoments: If you subscribe to the theory that the Bustos are actually [[spoiler: Nick and Griffin after an eternity in the Time Ring]], the "Some Sort of Digital Heaven" animation goes from NightmareFuel to a reunion between two friends and the true narrative closure of the series.

** The Planet Class Locomotive from episode 21. An old steam engine that billows smoke and steam and makes eerie, disturbing bleeping sounds, which can also accelerate indefinitely, reaching speeds of over 500 miles per hour[[note]]However there is some NightmareRetardant once you see it can't move without the help of wind. [[/note]]. It gets even more disturbing once it turns into God Trash after Nick and Griffin start messing with its wheels, firing out a black and yellow column from its wheels that is at least over ''six kilometres'' in length, and then bending its funnel at a 90 degree angle and sprouting black and yellow polygon spikes all over.

It can also move its funnel in a very UncannyValley way which Griffin describes as "looking for nutrients".
