History YMMV / GoodBurger

** Likewise, Brian Peck's cameo as the customer whose order was screwed up by Ed, with the scene ending with him telling Ed "I'll see you in Hell". Needless to say many people claim that between the two of them, Ed won't be the one going to hell.

* HarsherInHindsight: Pretty much any scene with Creator/DanSchneider who plays Good Burger manager Mr. Bailey given the revelations of how much of a bastard he was behind the scenes at Nickelodeon as shown in ''Series/QuietOnSet''.

* HilariousInHindsight: Ed looks quite a bit like a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaM6_yiUchw certain rapper.]]
** George Clinton and Sinbad appearing in a movie alongside Creator/KenanThompson is funny (or funnier) when you realize that George Clinton and Sinbad are two of the many celebrity impressions Kenan Thompson has done on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''. Funnier still when you realize that George Clinton was the first celebrity Kenan Thompson played on ''SNL''.

* FridgeHorror:
** In the sequel, if you look in the background of Dexter's office at Dextreme Industries, there's a poster for a potential music festival called the "Flame Festival," an allusion to the real-life Fyre Fest, that failed horribly for Dexter. Because the real Fyre Festival was a total sham that had poor service, no musical acts whatsoever, and how everyone was stranded on the Exumas, imagine all the lives Dexter would've endangered at that festival. That could lead to a huge lawsuit!

** When Dexter inquires on what the triampathol-laced burgers will do to Mondo Burger's customers, Kurt merely replies "Uh Oh" before blowing him off. It's all left to the imagination of the audience as to what that's supposed to mean, but the implications as to what the burgers do to those who consume them are no less alarming. Same with the likelihood that the Shark Poison that Kurt puts in Ed's sauce could be more than just nausea-inducing. In fact, probably worse.

* TheWoobie: Roxanne's injuries at the hands of Ed (granted, unintentionally) might make some feel sorry for her. Luckily, the sequel shows that she recovered from her injuries and is even now on better terms with Ed.

*** This line from Dexter when asked if he can handle the Burgermobile: "I don't know. I've never driven a sandwich before!" Seven years later, in ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie'', [=SpongeBob=] takes the wheel of the Patty Wagon (without a license) and declares "You don't need a license to drive a sandwich!"
* HoYay: There's more than quite a bit between Ed and Dexter.

* LoveToHate: Kurt Bozwell is a CorruptCorporateExecutive who is willing to poison his own customers, but his LargeHam performance makes very hilarious and entertaining to watch.

** He's also not even shown being particularly mean or sadistic as a teacher. The worst thing he does is is give his students a pop quiz because he wants to encourage their intellectual growth, and he even tells Dexter he's concerned he isn't taking his education seriously.

*** Considering the destruction that occurs when the giant-sized burgers begin to explode, it's also possible Kurt cheaped out on the construction; given the film is set in Southern California, god only knows what might've happened if there was an earthquake...

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic:
** Dexter can be seen as this. Ed indirectly caused the car accident that would put Dexter in his debt, but this all started because Dexter was joyriding with his mother's car without a license. Perhaps Mr. Wheat was too harsh to stick him with the bill, but bear in mind he initially tried to call Dexter's parents to straighten the issue out before Dexter willingly volunteered to resolve the debt himself. His decision to scam Ed out of the money he made from his sauce doesn't help either, and although thankfully he is called out on the latter and regrets doing so, he is never held accountable for the former sans an angry assault from Mr. Wheat. The sequel throws Dexter back into this light as his decision to talk Ed into selling the Good Burger to Mega Corp was brought about because Dex, an aspiring entrepreneur, lost all of his money and his house due to his latest venture. As such, he easily fell for Mega Corp's offer of a financial windfall without reading the fine print, essentially giving away what amounts to Ed's life's work and putting everyone else there out of a job in order to better himself financially. This results in the entire Good Burger staff, including Ed, turning on him.

* EvilIsSexy: Roxanne. Kurt and his henchmen may also qualify.

* MoralEventHorizon: Kurt crosses this when he breaks into Good Burger and puts shark poison in Ed's sauce. Though he already toe'd the line with his indifference to the potential side effects of the chemicals he used for his burgers.

* TheWoobie: Roxanne's injuries at the hands of Ed (granted, unintentionally) might make some feel sorry for her.

* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: Zig-zagged. Dexter is pretty easy to hate in the beginning as Kurt and Mr. Wheat are both too over the top to really truly hate. Thankfully, Dexter eventually realizes what an asshole he's been and becomes a better person through the course of the second and third acts.

* WTHCastingAgency: Abe Vigoda in a kids' movie would be one of the last things anyone would have thought of.
--> '''[[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic Doug Walker]]''': You were in ''[[Film/TheGodfather Godfather]]'', man! Show some dignity!

* DesignatedMonkey: Mr. Wheat had every right to be furious with Dexter for wrecking his car, especially since Dexter admitted to driving without a license. So a lot of the mishaps he endures tends to come off as DisproportionateRetribution as he's simply trying to get along with his day. One could argue that him possibly making Dexter pay for some additional work he might've had on his car too would take him out of this, but it's left to audience interpretation though.

* TearJerker: The roof scene, where we learn that Dexter's father gave him a yo-yo before leaving (though it's unclear if his parents divorced or if he abandoned them).

* ValuesDissonance: This film's depiction of the mentally ill is more than a little tasteless. True it's all Played for Laughs, but that doesn't make it less uncomfortable.

* WTHCastingAgency: Abe Vigoda in a kids movie would be one of the last things anyone would have thought of.
