* SoBadItsGood: A rare case in which the writers seem aware of it. Most people who grew up with the show even consider it an underrated classic.
* SoOkayItsAverage: The general consensus among those who don't love or hate the show is that it's one of the weaker CN originals but manages to be a fairly enjoyable (and at times, entertaining) watch nonetheless. Of course premiering around the time Cartoon Network was going through their NetworkDecay and slipping into an AudienceAlienatingEra didn't help matters.

** Rufus Hyena from the episode "The Hyena and the Mighty" is easily the biggest woobie on the show. The only episode he was ever in, he suffered from severe BreakTheCutie. Once Adam insulted him and his laughter, he stormed out of the bathroom in tears and actually went into a TroubledFetalPosition at one point. He was in a constant state of OcularGushers and Adam barely felt any remorse for having hurt his feelings. Not once did Adam feel the need to apologize to Rufus, even threatening him to stop crying at one point. Also, Nurse Gazelle terrorizes him for no reason by trying to shave off his fur while he's in his tearful state. The only ammount of sympathy Rufus even got was Windsor cuddling him and Jake feeling concerned about him. Adam, Principal Pixiefrog and Nurse Gazelle treated him like garbage and didn't care about his hurt feelings.

* IdiotPlot:
** One episode had Mr. Hornbill trying to woo '''Mrs.''' Tusk, with Adam and Jake helping him. While he could've just thought she was widowed or divorced, he should've at least assumed that there was a good chance she was still married.
** One episode sees Jake be transferred to a plant school after a clerical error with nobody at all questioning it.
*** This episode's IdiotPlot lampshades the whole show's IdiotPlot, especially with this exchange:
---->'''Principal Pixiefrog''': [[CaptainObvious Mr. Lyon, did you know that you're actually]] ''[[CaptainObvious not]]'' [[CaptainObvious a lion?]]\\
'''Adam''': YES! That's what I've been trying to tell you!
** The whole show runs on it, the premise being that Adam ended up in this school in the first place due to his first school misspelling his last name as "Lion", while completely ignoring the fact that he is in fact human and presumably had been attending his original school for quite some time.

* MoralEventHorizon: Nurse Gazelle crosses this in "The Hyena and the Mighty" when she chases Rufus Hyena trying to shave his fur off. Doesn't seem too evil? Well, Rufus was in a state of shock and depression and was busy crying his eyes out because Adam insulted him. The nurse doesn't care about Rufus' well being, she outright ''terrorizes'' him while he's in a sad mood by chasing him with clippers just so she can make herself laugh. Also, keep in mind that Rufus is only a kid and would most likely get emotional scars from the incident.
