History YMMV / MeetTheFeebles

** Sebastion may be rather condescending and demanding, but given all the disasters that he has to put up with, you can't exactly blame him for being a bit cross.

* NauseaFuel: Do ''not'' watch this movie after a meal.

* MemeticMutation: ''Meet The Feebles'' is [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/TheMuppetsMayhem now Disney canon]].[[labelnote:Explanation]] In ''Series/TheMuppetsMayhem'', the guest appearance by Creator/PeterJackson in one episode, it’s casually (albeit understandably uncomfortably) stated that the gang had previously encountered Jackson while working with the Feebles, puppet characters that engaged in murder, drug use, and BDSM, among other ghastly activities, and that two unnamed Feebles are in witness protection after that night while the rest are unsurprisingly in prison. It’s a darkly hilarious moment, but it’s definitely surprising for those in the know that Disney would choose to [[DemographicallyInappropriateHumour acknowledge such a controversial and adult parody on a family program]].

* ValuesDissonance: In the Wynyard's flashback, all of the [[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar Viet Cong]] are depicted as AsianBuckTeeth who wears glasses.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: The film a puppet movie not dissimilar to The Muppets, it must be for kids, right? Nope, it has a song [[spoiler:sung about sodomy during a shooting rampage]], among other things.

* AngstWhatAngst: Around 97% of the film's cast ends up dead by the end, but no one, neither the audience or in-universe characters, winds up feeling truly sorry for most of them. It doesn't help that most of the cast represents [[JerkassBall some of the worst types of people society has to offer.]]. Some of the killed characters, like Heidi's friends and Harry (who had promised to God that he would turn over a new leaf if he survived his [[spoiler: not really]] fatal disease), do get some sympathy.

*** He also [[spoiler: ''gobbles up the corpses of Sidney's tribble-like pets'' during the film's outset]].

* AcceptableProfessionalTargets: Is it any coincidence that the {{Paparazzi}} character is an invasive, obnoxious, disgusting, shit-eating (literally) fly?

** Every car in the film is a Morris Minor. One of them would eventually also turn up in [[Film/TheMuppets an actual Muppet movie]].

** Poor Wynyard! For starters, he spent years fighting against the Viet Cong (represented by stereotypical-looking gophers) in the Vietnam War back in 1968. After being saved by Jim, his commanding officer and best friend, they and two other frogs named Chuck and 8-Ball went on a routine expedition where they were gradually captured, killed [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and forcefully "re-educated"]] by the Vietnamese gophers. After a game of Russian roulette gone wrong, Wynyard and Jim tried to escape, only for Jim to fall into a deep hole. Instead of saving him, Wynyard chose to run off like a coward, leaving Jim to die at the hands of the Cong. According to Wynyard, by the time he escaped from a Saigon hospital, he became addicted to every barbiturate in the world. His experiences in 'Nam left him [[ShellShockedVeteran with a terrible case of the shakes]], which leads him to botch his knife-throwing act twice, the first time killing his assistant, and the second [[spoiler:himself]].

** Really, Heidi's story arc in particular. She was discovered by Bletch at a film noir club, and was groomed by him to be a huge star. But after Heidi became overweight and unstable mentally, Bletch began to lose interest in Heidi, only keeping her around as drawing power. After her performance of "Garden of Love" in the big show, Bletch unceremoniously fires her, which leads to [[spoiler:Heidi attempting suicide, eventually grabbing a machine gun to do the job. It's only after Samantha the cat, who is currently in a relationship with the corrupt walrus, taunts Heidi that the hippo is [[ComicBook/TheKillingJoke driven to lunacy]] and decides to massacre nearly the entire remaining cast, including Samantha, Harry, Abi, Dorothy, Sandy, Musician Frog, and eventually, Trevor and Bletch. Only Robert, Lucille, Arthur, Sid and Sebastian survive.]]

* TearJerker: [[spoiler:After Heidi snaps out of her homicidal rampage, Arthur sadly informs her that he will have to turn her in to the cops. Heidi gracefully faces her arrest (revealed to be ten years in a female penitentiary), but asks Arthur to play one final, solemn reprise of "Garden of Love" as her swan song. Arthur complies, as, surrounded by dead bodies and accompanied by the sound of police sirens, Heidi croons her signature song once more as the film ends.]] What makes this final scene so tragic is everything that had happened to Heidi that ultimately pushed her over the edge; all the abuse she had received, both verbally and mentally, that led her to decide to exact her gory revenge on the people who had made her life a living hell: Bletch, Trevor and Samantha above all others. It was this decision, to [[spoiler:answer to the abuse and betrayal she had been dished out her whole career with firing Bletch's machine gun on anyone and everyone in sight]], that ultimately led to her downfall and [[spoiler:arrest]]. And even if Heidi becomes fully rehabilitated, her decision to [[spoiler:kill off the remaining Feebles, her own co-stars and friends,]] will haunt her forever.
