History YMMV / ElliotGoesToSchool

** Doesn't stop him from going back to his old self though.

** Brandon’s [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness sudden character change]] in ''Camping''. Did he do it because he knew that his jokes and quirks were growing stale and decided to change into a more serious and grounded person, for better or worse, or did he do it ironically just for shits and giggles like usual?

** The first episode features A Day to Remember's "NJ Legion Iced Tea" and "You Had Me At Hello", along with Consumed's "Heavy Metal Winner", Bring Me the Horizon's "The Comedown", Ima Robot's "Dynomite", Escape the Fate's "The Flood", and The Bouncing Souls' "Gasoline."
** The second episode features A Day to Remember's "Right Where You Want Me To Be", Whole Wheat Bread's "Police Song", Escape the Fate's "Situations", Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek", Maroon 5's "Sunday Morning" (from the band's early days before their more pop-oriented work), and The Used's "All That I've Got."

* HarsherinHindsight:

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Some fans felt that the Dan and Chris skit from ''Camping'' is this. They don't seem to contribute to the plot much and it’s never brought up again.
** In fact, most of the Dan and Chris segments have nothing to do with the plot other than being an intermission inbetween skits. [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools Doesn't stop them from being genuinely funny, however]].
** The first minutes of ''Camping'' certainly qualifies. We don't know why [[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV Roman Bellic]] rang the doorbell before Mr. Higglesworth comes in, and it’s never brought up again.

* GrowingTheBeard: As the series went on, Kitty's skills in Machinima creation grew exponentially, with each episode feeling more distinct and more polished. Special mention goes to "Pep Rallies", where the editing is a lot tighter, the voice acting is more expressive, the comedy is more well placed, and introducing two more characters for the main cast line. And achieved within only 67 days!
** ''Field Trips'' onwards, he starts to incorporate simple animations as replacements for the spaces used by records of flinging ragdolls. The technique is to take screenshot of characters doing certain poses while constantly changing the pose to follow a set of movement, where it will be rearranged into much smoother animation in the video editing software. The process is pretty difficult and can be time consuming, but it proved to be worth the effort since it gave Kitty a better control over scenes and less relying on ragdoll flinging action. This trick carried well into some of his last Gmod videos, most prominently ''WebAnimation/TeamFabulous2'' and ''Mass Defect''.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: On Google+, Kitty made a post on January 12th, 2015 that started with, "Oh dear, haven't uploaded anything in months! Guess that means the 'ol cat DIED." [[http://knowyourmeme.com/forums/general/topics/31843-kitty0706-has-passed-away-today-after-a-2-year-long-battle-with-leukemia Around two weeks later...]]
* HarsherInHindsight: Elliot's speech at the end of the first episode, where he speculates where he would be ten years into the future. Collin would pass away of cancer nearly 6 years later.

* TearJerker: Kitty was only 17 years old when he made this and its clear that the series was pretty much just his younger self and his friends just having a laugh with themselves. It hurts to watch now knowing Collin's passing in 2015, specially the first episode where Elliot monologues about his future ten years from now.

** [[IllGirl Ms.]] [[ButtMonkey Person]] is pretty much the biggest woobie in this show. She has her voicebox broken so she has to resort to using a text-to-speech program, and is seems to be more disabled than just her broken voicebox (She seems to be permanently tied to her wheelchair, with the exception of that one time in ''Camping''), and is constantly bullied and thrown around by Brandon. Not to mention that she is one of the only teachers who actually teaches the students in her class, and is the only teacher with a sense of responsibility, as seen during the field trip.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Mr. Higglesworth is the embodiment of this trope. Many jokes and quips that would otherwise be offensive are so overdone that they just wind up being hysterical.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Elmer J. Fapp is a big example. He only has a few lines that you can count on your fingers in his debut. Yet many liked his antics and he eventually became the part of the main cast line.

** He was previously involved in the community during his early teenage years, but decided to leave during his mid-teens because he thought it was "just not for [him]". He also stated that he prefers the portrayal of the animals to be more cartoon-ish (as of 90's WorldOfFunnyAnimals Cartoon-ish).
