History YMMV / MikeLuAndOg

* JerkassWoobie: Lu could be [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation viewed as this.]] While anyone who says she's a mean-spirited SpoiledBrat, a bad friend to Mike and a mean cousin to Og as well as a terrible pet owner to Lancelot has a valid argument, take into account that for one thing, we never see her [[MissingMom mother]] and that Wendell is a [[PushoverParents PushoverParent]] who spoils her rotten and is too cowardly to discipline her, it's very likely that had she had any proper parental guidance, she'd probably be a nicer person. Contrast to Og and (presumably) Mike who have clearly been raised in the right way by Alfred and Margery and Mike's unnamed parents.

* HilariousInHindsight: Creator/BrianGeorge was the voice of the Cuzzlewitz tribe member Haggis, who shares his name with a Scottish delicacy. After ''Mike, Lu & Og'' ended, Brian George would later voice two Disney villains that happened to be Scottish; Duff Killigan in ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' and replacing the late Hal Smith as Flintheart Glomgold in the ''Franchise/DuckTales'' video game remake ''[[VideoGame/DuckTales DuckTales: Remastered]]''.

** Wendel's [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs trippy]] FreakOut from Queek's potion in "A Bicycle Built For Me".

* UnacceptableTargets: WordOfGod said that during the making of "The Three Amigas", while the male writers were making up jokes about Lu losing Mike to Hermione, the female writers said to them that such a situation is serious for a girl.

* NightmareFuel: "Opposites Attack". Og is ''driven insane'' by all the demands for his inventions and builds robots to attack everyone. Luckily, he snaps out of it, barely saving Mike from getting ''[[EyeScream drilled in the eye!]]''

-->''"No room for yooooou!"''

-->'''Mike:''' This stinks. Everybody's got a buddy on this island except me. Some exchange student. I could've picked France but ''no'', I had to pick a lost island with six people. [[MoodWhiplash I've never been blown off by a goat before.]]

-->'''Margery:''' I made your favorite dessert. ''(realizes what she just said; bursts into tears)''

* {{Shipping}}: Some fans ship Mike/Og [[AgeGapRomance even though Og is 7 and Mike is several yeara older.]]

* GeniusBonus: In "Tea For Three", Mike recognizes the song Queeks is whistling in his sleep as ''Tea For Two''. Like any kid today would know ''that'' song.

* MyRealDaddy: It's a debate on which of the three credited creators deserved more credit. Chuck Swenson gets the most recognition, as he created the characters and most of the stories, while Mikhail Shindel created the designs and atmosphere and Mikhail Shindel headed production on the show.

* TheScrappy: Lu is the most hated character in this show. And it's not hard to see why, she's condescending to Mike and Og and very abusive to her pet turtle, Lancelot.

* SoOkayItsAverage: Easily the most forgettable of the ''Creator/CartoonCartoons'', but manages to be a fairly watchable show nonetheless. The fact that it's probably the shortest runner of the Cartoon Cartoons has less to do with its own quality and more to do with the fact that it debuted alongside, and was immediately overshadowed by, ''Courage the Cowardly Dog''.

** There's also the episode "Sneeze Please" where Mike gets drenched in ice-cold water and ends up sneezing which Lu mistakes for a big city insult and soon, develops a cold. Lu then develops the same cold and decides to go to the island to warn the others that Mike has a sneezing virus as it spreads through the island, leaving everyone to be sick with colds which brings the ''UsefulNotes/COVID-19Pandemic'' to mind in 2020.

* TheWoobie: Lancelot deserves some sympathy due to the fact that he's often a victim of BlackComedyAnimalCruelty from [[{{Jerkass}} Lu.]]
