History YMMV / JakersTheAdventuresOfPiggleyWinks

* FridgeHorror: It's already a bit jarring to see anthropomorphic farm animals living with regular farm animals at Raloo Farm but it becomes more disturbing when you take into account that both Raloo Farm's cow and Ferny (a bull) are both cattle, which to some can have some UnfortunateImplications [[FurryConfusion out of context.]]

* UncannyValley: Although the show was ''very'' impressive for 2003 (in both its CGI and the fact that it was the first cartoon to be broadcast in HD), it has since shown its age which can lead to some character's facial expressions and movements to look a bit stilted.
** However, all ''that'' is much tame compared to what happens in the episode "The Case of Big Sty", in which Piggley and Ferny have an ImagineSpot on what it would be like to [[ItMakesSenseInContext become smart from drinking soup made from stones]], in which they are shown with enlarged heads, representing their newfound intelligence... However, due to the animation standards of the show back then, Piggley and Ferny's heads are ''not'' a pretty sight.

** The topic of Don Toro and Ferny discussing death is even more depressing given that both the voice actors for Don Toro (Fernando Escandon) and Ferny (Russi Taylor) both have passed away in 2017 and 2019 respectively.

* NightmareRetardant: The cabbage monsters in "The Creepy Cabbages of County Galway" from the dream sequence in that episode are meant to be scary, but due to the CGI of the mid-2000s, come across as over-the-top and ridiculous as compared to other examples of sentient, sapient plants that are meant to be scary. They were there to deliver [[AnAesop the moral]] about being too young for things and not listening to parents can create nightmares, but didn't quite get the reaction the writers intended. The YouTube comments about this seem to confirm this view.

* TheWoobie:
** Ferny is unfailingly sweet and gentle; his loyalty to Piggley is practically a fault, since [[WithFriendsLikeThese Piggley isn't always loyal in return.]] [[spoiler: And his mother also died, when he was young.]]
* TearJerker: It's confirmed in the episode, 'Waking Thor', that [[spoiler: Ferny is motherless and Don Toro is a widower]]. In the episode, after Ferny's pet goldfish dies, causing him to become depressed, Don Toro explains to him that it isn't healthy to forget those we have loved and lost. There is a notable subtle drop in volume as he says "Some things we should never forget" (paraphrased) while looking at a portrait of [[spoiler: Ferny's Mom]] resting a hand on her face tenderly while looking solmen at the same time. Many characters in the show refer to and see Don Toro as a {{Gentle Giant}}, and this scene further emphasizes this quality.
