Line #2 YMMV/CarBoys


1	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Busto 2.0. Is he truly evil, or does he [[NotEvilJustMisunderstood just want to be left alone?]] [[TakeAThirdOption Or was he good until]] [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Nick and Griffin's interference corupted him?]] Or was it really The Blob that corrupted him?
2	* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt: The second title card (Drawn by Louie Zong), which is full of [[CallBack Call Backs]] to earlier jokes, like the Sky Galleon, Planet Class Locomotive, and crucified plane, as well as what appears to be a stand off between [[CompanionCube Busto]] and [[EldritchAbomination Busto 2.0]]. All while Nick poses dramatically in the middle.
3	* EpilepticTrees: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tngzsJOY71c This theory video]], acknowledged by Griffin on Twitter, suggests that [[spoiler:Busto 1.0 is Nick and Busto 2.0 is Griffin, transformed into "gods of good and evil" after spending eternity in the Time Ring, who were reunited after the events of "Some Sort of Digital Heaven". The Blob, meanwhile, is Ball, with the top comment suggesting that the black-and-white Ball was divided into the black Blob and the white Ovo.]]
4	** A number of fans have suggested that Podcast/CoolGamesInc is part of the Car Boys canon, being Nick and Griffin's way of passing time [[spoiler: in the Time Ring]].
5	* FanonDiscontinuity: After the finale, some fans tried to create a [[WMG/GrandUnifyingGuesses McElroy expanded universe]] in which all of Griffin's series exist at different points in the same timeline. Unfortunately, the MultipleEndings of ''Car Boys'' was vital to this theory, and now that Griffin's collaborations with Nick are treated as his OldShame, speculation has died down.
6	* FriendlyFandoms: With WebVideo/MonsterFactory and WebVideo/TouchTheSkyrim, as all three series are co-created by Griffin and share a chaotic, improvised style of humor.
7	* HarsherInHindsight: The series focuses in large part about the strong friendship between Nick and Griffin. Several months after its conclusion, Nick was fired from Polygon once multiple revelations of sexual harassment were investigated by Polygon and later confirmed by Nick himself. The scandal resulted in Griffin publicly ending his friendship with Nick shortly after. These factors make their connection become more tragic knowing what came later.
8	* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: If you subscribe to the theory that the Bustos are actually [[spoiler: Nick and Griffin after an eternity in the Time Ring]], the "Some Sort of Digital Heaven" animation goes from NightmareFuel to a reunion between two friends and the true narrative closure of the series.
9	** [[spoiler: Nick and Griffin kicking back for an infinite road trip]] in the post-credits scene of the finale is rather sweet, especially given [[MoodWhiplash the contrast with the utterly bleak pre-credits ending]].
10	* MemeticMutation: After the finale, a common send-off to the show was [[Anime/CowboyBeBop "See you, Space Car Boys."]]
11	** Comparisons to ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'' and ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' came up frequently after the finale. [[https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U&video_id=voe1Oipf39U There was even a video]] mashing it up with the latter's soundtrack.
12	* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound: Any time Clair de Lune starts up, being the theme song for the show and its amazing moments.
13	* NightmareFuel: Some of the moments of God-Trash can be very unnerving.
14	** Some moments in the "Contain Busto" episode stand out, particularly when Busto is ''impaled on the propeller of the plane as it bursts into flames.''
15	*** Busto 2.0 in general can be pretty terrifying, right from the first time he turns into God Trash and rips apart a nearby truck and sends it flying into the air.
16	*** Special mention goes to when Busto 2.0 and his copy in "A Tale Of Two Bustos" turn into God Trash so large that it ''consumes the whole world.''
17	** The Planet Class Locomotive from episode 21. An old steam engine that billows smoke and steam and makes eerie, disturbing bleeping sounds, which can also accelerate indefinitely, reaching speeds of over 500 miles per hour[[note]]However there is some NightmareRetardant once you see it can't move without the help of wind. [[/note]]. It gets even more disturbing once it turns into God Trash after Nick and Griffin start messing with its wheels, firing out a black and yellow column from its wheels that is at least over ''six kilometres'' in length, and then bending its funnel at a 90 degree angle which starts flexing and warping rapidly, and sprouting black and yellow AlienGeometries all over.
18	** The Blob takes a while to successfully god-trash, but when it happens, the result is ''horrifying''. Seemingly endless pitch-black AlienGeometries all centered around an airplane so warped that some viewers initially mistook it for the heart of an EldritchAbomination, anyone?
19	** Hey, remember [[http://youtu.be/EiYV9FfbevA this fan animation? (spoilers for Episode 27)]] [[OhCrap It's canon.]]
20	* SignatureScene: The first time Busto 2.0 turned into God Trash, which signaled the series's shift into LovecraftLite.
21	** Of the post-Busto 2.0 era, the plane's crucifixion. It immediately became the centerpiece of the second title card, and has been described by Nick as "no-bullshit the most haunting imagery we've stumbled upon yet."
22	* TearJerker: Surprisingly, yes. [[spoiler: The release of Busto in episode 27 is highly emotional. Even more so now that we know what happened to him.]]
