History YMMV / Shrapnel

* HilariousInHindsight: In 2018, the second ''KILL CONTRACT'' episode, ''Once Upon a Time in Uganda'' came out, which introduced the Ugandan Knuckles, a race of [[FunnyAnimal deformed echidna people]] based directly off of a meme character of the same name, whose {{Catchphrase}} is a reference to the Ugandan action movie, ''Film/WhoKilledCaptainAlex'', by Ramon Film Productions, AKA Wakaliwood. A few years later, Wakaliwood officially announced a Wakaliwood documentary film, titled . . .

* ArchivePanic: For anyone who wants to see every video that ''Shrapnel'' characters appear in because they want to see more of their favorite characters, the miniseries are merely the tip of the iceberg, as some of them are the hosts for ''Moonshine Reviews'', and additionally many of them are often involved in various skits and parodies on Moonshine’s channel, and that’s not getting into what fans who want to see more of Cecilia’s antics have to look through, as she has a [[{{Expy}} near-identical counterpart]] made by Moon who shows up ''[[WebAnimation/OffTheGrid In a completely different series he made]]'' (see ContinuityLockout below and her entry on the ''Shrapnel'' character page for specifics), and that’s not even taking into account that the main series proper ''hasn’t even started yet''.

* GrowingTheBeard: While the first ''KILL CONTRACT'' episode is generally considered good and left many viewers wanting more, the second episode is where most will agree that the series really started to hit its stride with its storytelling, world-building, and characters.

* UglyCute: Like the meme they are based on, the Ugandan Knuckles are these weirdly deformed bug-eyed echidnas, but their big eyes make them kind of cute in a way.

* UnpopularPopularCharacter: Given the Ugandan Knuckles originate from a controversial internet meme, the characters themselves are this both in and out of universe, as while it’s easier to make a list of characters who ''don’t'' like them, they get a much warmer reception among ''Shrapnel'' fans, due to their UglyCute designs, odd mannerisms, and the fact that when the chips are down, they can be [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass surprisingly capable]] (sometimes), and some fans who consider the original a "shitty internet meme", admit to liking their depiction/members in ''Shrapnel''. Of course, for anyone who still doesn’t like the meme that much, there’s something of a CatharsisFactor in seeing them get injured.
