History YMMV / Slniecko

* ParodyDisplacement: The video that made Ratafak famous isn't actually from the show; it is an unknown person who managed to recover the Ratafak puppet - or a very good reconstitution - and decided to make it lipsynch to a cover of "[[Theatre/TheProducers When You Got It, Flaunt It]]" by TV host Marianna Durianova.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:
** Does Ratafak deliberately mislead the children during education sessions because he wants to feel superior to them, or is he just dumb?
** Some have theorized that Ratafak is partially deaf, and him "misguiding" the children is actually him mishearing what he's told and just repeating what he thinks he was told.

* CrossoverShipping: For ''[[CrackPairing some reason]]'', many Tumblr users ship Ratafak and Mr. Noseybonk from ''Series/{{Jigsaw}}''. They even have a PortmanteauCoupleName: "Ratabonk"

* PeripheryDemographic: Surprisingly for a Czechoslovakian kids show, a large chunk of fans are [[https://internetunknown.wordpress.com/2017/07/21/slniecko-a-bizarre-czechoslovakian-childrens-program/ teenagers who are into creepypasta]] and horror fans, due to the puppets' {{uncann|yValley}}iness.

* UncannyValley:
** Ratafak Plachta takes the cake. His puppet is designed to be used by ''two'' people, which means that he appears ''gigantic'' compared to the humans on the show. Additionally, the show appears to have been made on a low budget, so he (along with the other puppets) appears to be somewhat cheaply made. Fans of the show admit that he's [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Slovakia/comments/6om0gz/american_doing_some_research_can_anyone_tell_me/ scary]], and he frequently appears on "top creepiest kids show characters" lists.
** Somárik Peťko looks like Eeyore from ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'' had gone through nuclear mutation.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Ratafak Plachta. Some people find him to be absolutely terrifying, while other people (particularly people raised with the show) find him to be endearing. Notably, despite being a prominent fixture in "scariest kids show characters" lists, he's a beloved character in both the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

* HilariousInHindsight:
** Medvedík Brum resembles a surprising amount of the animatronics from ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'', especially Bonnie and Freddy.
%% ** The pianist in one episode resembles a certain US President that's against communism.
%% Which president are you talking about?

* AccidentalInnuendo: To most people, the first part of Ratafak Plachta's name sounds like Rata-''fuck''

** Some have theorized that Ratafak is partially deaf, and him "misguiding" the children is actually an accident, he's just repeating what he thinks is right.

'''Ratafak Plachta:''' Finally, a worthy opponent[[labelnote:explanation]]This show is generally regarded as a minor factor in the Velvet Revolution, which ended communism in Czechoslovakia and split it into two countries (the Czech Republic and Slovakia), thanks to Ratafak Plachta teaching kids to question what people in positions of authority say.[[/labelnote]]

%%** Anti-communists
* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: Just because someone is in a position of authority and power it doesn't make everything they say right; question power structures and fight for your freedom. Considering that the show aired in communist Czechoslovakia, this ''needed'' to be dropped.
* {{Tearjerker}}: After the show ended, all of the puppets were discarded and because of the fact that the studio never registered them as their property, they were probably missing forever
