History YMMV / Nanalan

** The Platform/YouTube live streams are also subject to this, with the puppeteer's arms (or extreme cases, hair) coming into view, althought it might be due to the smaller set.

* SpecialEffectFailure: There are a number of times where the puppeteers' arms can be seen, particularly in the original shorts. One example can be seen in the "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_lPcJO7Y90 Lollipop]]" short as Russel tries to lick Mona's lollipop.

* TearJerker: Mona crying after breaking Nana's cat statue in "Russel Did It".

* SweetDreamsFuel: ''Nanalan'' is an adorable show featuring the adventures of a 3-year-old girl and her Nana's dog in the backyard, where bad situations are rare.

* TearJearker: Mona crying after breaking Nana's cat statue in "Russel Did It".

* FridgeBrilliance: In recent years, Mona has been speaking in near complete sentences, compared to her near nonverbal state in the original installments. While this may seem like LaterInstallmentWeirdness, there also the possibility that Mona is averting NotAllowedToGrowUp,which would let her get old enough to speak normally.

** The infamous lollipop scene became this after ''WesternAnimation/SmilingFriends'' featured Charlie's grandma eating a lollipop in a very similar way, this time it ''wasn't'' an AccidentalInnuendo.

** "Who's that wonderful girl?" [[labelnote: Explanation]] A musical scene from the episode "Play Day" involving Mona appearing in a princess outfit. In October 2023, the clip became a meme, specifically on [=TikTok=]. [[/labelnote]]

* FridgeBrilliance: In recent years, Mona has been speaking in near complete sentences, compared to her near nonverbal state in the original installments. While this may seem like LaterInstallmentWeirdness, there also the possibility that Mona is averting NeverGrowsUp,which would let her get old enough to speak normally.

* MagicFranchiseWord: "Peepo"

** The "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_lPcJO7Y90 Lollipop]]" short has also become infamous due to how...erm...[[AccidentalInnuendo oddly dirty]] the short sounds without any visuals, and to a lesser extent how ridiculous Mona looks as she eats the lollipop.

* FriendlyFandoms: With other ironic fanbases such as ''Fanfic/BeeShrekTestInTheHouse''. The Nanalan' fanbase also emerged at the height of the popularity of ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', leading to a lot of crossover art.

** Fans of WebVideo/{{Markiplier}} may find the fact that there was a ton of Nanalan' x ''Undertale'' crossover fanart during the height of the former's MemeticMutation hilarious due to the fact that Mark would name the fallen child "Peepo" on his second attempt at playing ''Undertale''.

** The whole series has become notable for its quirky atmosphere and the characters' bizarre speech patterns. The episode where Mona and Russell are exploring Nana's garden [[https://web.archive.org/web/20160411082323/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC9Js3RWrlk and Mona points out things such as a]] [[InherentlyFunnyWords "samado/snadder mado", "cushie", "shoosh" and a "peepo"]] [[note]] a tomato/another tomato, cabbage, mushroom, and pea-pod respectively [[/note]], in particular, became the series' most famous moment in the 2010s.

---> ''"Dassa lolli!!"''

* RetroactiveRecognition: So what did the creators of ''Nanalan''' go on to do after this show, you might be wondering? Why, none other than the infamous (and this time ''intentionally'' surreal) ''Series/MrMeaty'', of course.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The original shorts had a number of differences:
** Mona had more focus in the shorts compared to the other characters.
** Nana had reddish-brown hair and was a lot skinnier.
** The backgrounds weren’t as detailed, especially in the intro.

** "Who's that wonderful girl?" [[labelnote: Explanation]] A musical scene in one episode involving Mona appearing in a princess outfit. In October 2023, the clip became a meme, specifically on [=TikTok=]. [[/labelnote]]

* PopularityPolynomial: The series was never given much notice back when the shorts were still being produced. However, come late 2015 where most of the folks who remember watching it began talking about it on the internet, and the series suddenly became a lot more notable for its [[WidgetSeries weirdness]].
