History YMMV / Dropsy

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: If you go to the club, you can make Dropsy ''twerk''.
** The animation for hugging the bouncer outside the club is equally hilarious- [[spoiler:we just see a close up of Dropsy and the bouncer fist-bumping each other.]]
* GeniusBonus: While the game's text looks indecipherable at first, someone on Steam was able to create an "alphabet" that makes it easier to read. For example, the text on Dropsy and the dog's "victory screens" read "HUGGED!" and "CLAIMED!," respectively.
** Deciphering the text in the game will also shed light on the context behind certain plot points. For example, when you decipher the red clay village's bible (after recovering all the pages) and the notices on the wall of their temple, [[spoiler:you'll learn that the villagers were once mine workers under S-Corp who were paid a very meager salary, and that the "vampire" in the village's lore is an analogy for S-Corp.]]
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The whole game could be seen as this (the protagonist is a [[NonIronicClown Non-Ironic Clown]] who loves to give hugs), but especially the scenes with Dropsy and his father. One scene near the end has Dropsy's dad marvel on how [[SoProudOfYou Dropsy's grown into a fine young man]].
** The church storyline sees Dropsy help turn the local branch of the church into a homeless shelter, in turn helping the pastors daughter become fulfilled.
** Reuniting [[spoiler: the protestor with his father, the hermit,]] causes them to burst into tears and hug each other. The protestor then tearfully hugs Dropsy, thanking him profusely.

* MoralEventHorizon: Turns out the S-Corporation CEO crossed it before the events of the game. [[spoiler: He and Dropsy's other brother used to live with their own step-father. The CEO lured them both to the basement and murdered them, most likely so the CEO could ensure he was next in line for his real family's throne. This is also why he tried to have Dropsy killed.]]
* NightmareFuel: Dropsy's nightmares are this. Also:
** [[spoiler: The advertisements for the S-Corp circus depict Dropsy, surrounded by flames, holding a tank of gasoline with the Grim Reaper floating behind him.]]

** During Dropsy's first nightmare, he sees a vision of his younger self being comforted by his mom. When he tries to interact with it, his mom vanishes, causing Vision!Dropsy to start crying.

* UglyCute: Dropsy can be seen as this.
* UnfortunateCharacterDesign: Dropsy's character design has been noted as being somewhat similar to "Pogo the Clown" aka the infamous SerialKiller [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wayne_Gacy John Wayne Gacy]]'s clown alter-ego. WordOfGod has [[https://twitter.com/dropsytheclown/status/459456235503239168 acknowledged this, but has also insisted that the similarity is entirely unintentional]].

* UncannyValley: Dropsy's weirdly-shaped body, floppy arms and [[UncannyValleyMakeup clown paint]] put him right in the Valley for many players.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: If you go to the club, you can make Dropsy ''twerk''.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: The whole game could be seen as this (the protagonist is a [[NonIronicClown Non-Ironic Clown]] who loves to give hugs), but especially the scenes with Dropsy and his father. One scene near the end has Dropsy's dad marvel on how [[SoProudOfYou Dropsy's grown into a fine young man]].
** During the climax, every single person Dropsy has befriended will [[spoiler:stall the police so he can catch up with the S-Corp CEO.]]

** Right near the entrance to Dropsy's circus tent, there's some graffiti of his face with a large X over it, and some unintelligible text. [[spoiler: The text reads, "GO AWAY MURDERER".]]

* NightmareFuel: Dropsy's nightmares are this.

** Deciphering the text in the game will also shed light on the context behind certain plot points. For example, when you decipher the red clay village's bible and the notices on the wall of their temple, [[spoiler:you'll learn that the villagers were once mine workers under S-Corp who were paid a very meager salary, and that the "vampire" in the village's lore is an analogy for S-Corp.]]

** During the climax, every single person Dropsy has befriended will [[spoiler: cover for him so he can get away from the cops.]]

** What exactly the CEO was up to in the first place. [[spoiler: As it turns out, Dropsy's not just an alien, but royalty. He also had a third brother, who grew up with the CEO and their Earth step-father. The CEO murdered his step-father and other brother on Christmas Day (and was planning to murder Dropsy), most likely to make sure he was next in line for the throne. Near the end of the game, Dropsy discovers the CEO's hidden base...''and the severed heads of the step-dad and the other brother are nailed to the wall''.]]
