History YMMV / Hobgoblins

--> '''Mike''': Ow, ow, big man, you strangle a plush toy.

-->Well there was a reason. They seem to have provided the background music for the whole movie and in return The Fontanelles got an uninterrupted portion of the film where they can showcase their best song. In terms of in the film though, it's a club and bands do get to play on stage. (before they go sample some tater tots from the lunch ladies in back!)

** The band singing "Kiss Kicker" at Club Scum literally happens for no reason whatsoever.

-->'''Mike''': Aw, come on, Nick... oh yeah, he burned to death. Oh well.
-->'''Crow''': Nick's a smoking husk right now. He won't mind if we use his van.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The rake battle.

* EarWorm: Although the film is terrible, ''Kiss Kicker'' (or "[[{{Mondegreen}} Fish Picker]]", according to [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Mike and the Bots]]) is actually pretty catchy.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: The Club Scum MC played by Creator/DaranNorris and [[DecoyProtagonist Dennis]] are probably the only likable and funny characters in the movie. In Norris' case, he gives an enjoyable performance because he honestly had a good time playing the part, and it shows.

** The "decyphering" of the "Kiss Kicker 99" reveal that the first verse is "Why work for something when you can steal it?". Considering this movie's status as a low grade ''Gremlins'' ripoff, it's quite appropriate.

* {{Narm}}: It's in abundance, but the moment that ''really'' stands out is the infamous rake fight.

--> '''Mike''': ''(as the Hobgoblin getting "strangled" by Kevin)'' Ow, ow, big man, you strangle a plush toy.

* UglyCute: The Hobgoblins ('''Tom:''' '...Frankie, Sniffles, Bounce-Bounce & The Claw!').

** The lady with the beehive? Harley Quinn!

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot and [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter Character]]: Clearly, the movie would have been much better if Dennis, the irreverent music lover, were the hero. This is probably because no matter how stupid ''his'' friends are, there's no way they'd be as annoying as Kevin and his pals.

* RetroactiveRecognition: This was his first film role ever, but Daran Norris would go on to achieve a successful career - becoming

[[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents Cosmo]], [[WesternAnimation/TheReplacements Dick Daring]], [[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan J. Jonah Jameson]], [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime Knock Out]], and many more.

* HamAndCheese: Daran Norris is abut the only truly funny thing in the movie, due to his bizarre mannerisms as the Club Scum MC. Thankfully this movie didn't immediately kill his career, either. He went on to do a lot of voice acting roles afterwards.

--> '''Servo''': ''(as the Hobgoblin getting "strangled" by Rick)'' Ow, ow, big man, you strangle a plush toy.

* TheyJustDidntCare: According to Sloane, with NoBudget and using his friends as actors, they just sped through filming and didn't really try to correct inconsistencies.

** Daran Norris making out with the waitress named Pixie, after knowing he want on to play [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents Cosmo]].

* DudeNotFunny 95 percent of the jokes are like this.

* ActuallyPrettyFunny:
** "It says I'm 40 and disabled." "You got a problem with that?" "No. I'll limp." One of the only authentic laughs in the whole thing.
** The emcee informing Daphne that the donkey mud wrestlers must use the rear entrance is pretty funny too.
** The emcee, period!

* EnsembleDarkhorse: The Club Scum MC played by Creator/DaranNorris and [[DecoyProtagonist Dennis]] are probably the only likable and funny characters in the movie.

** Servo's "No life after drama club" riff on Daran Norris' emcee in the ''MST3K'' version becomes this once you're aware that Norris was the only one in the movie to have a respectable career after being in it.

* ErectionRejection: Did anyone find Kyle's fantasy woman attractive? ''Anyone?''
** That wasn't a woman, it was Music/DavidLeeRoth.
