YMMV / Attack of the Show!

Go To

  • Crosses the Line Twice: The Slasher School animated series.
  • Do Not Do This Cool Thing: On multiple occasions. Usually Olivia Munn, Anna or Carissa Walford are to blame for this.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: While Kevin and Sarah were officially the two co-hosts, Brendan Moran got a huge fan following and ended up having a Clip Show devoted to him alone. Recently, Alison Haislip has been getting a notable fandom despite only occasionally appearing on the show.
    • And now that Candice Bailey is officially on the show, her popularity is now rising.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Kevin's departure from the revival was planned from the beginning. The intent was that he would train the new team and help the transition into a new era. However, the show, and by extension the G4 revival asa whole, was axed shortly after he left, which instead gave some the impression that he saw the writing on the wall, or at least that the show couldn't live without him after all.
  • Hollywood Homely: Even in the segment where she’s wearing a fat suit that makes her appear like she’s well over 400 lbs, many would argue that Olivia Munn still looks pretty attractive despite her obesity (or for some, because of her obesity).
  • Les Yay: Apparently it's been mentioned that Candace Bailey seems to really get enthusiastic when "interacting" with Sara Jean Underwood. Oh so very much between Candace and Sara. Whether it's them slapping one another on the butts or Candace motor-boating Sara's boobs, these two get a lot of mileage out of this, much to the delight of the audience (and Kevin).
    • Kevin's recreation of the UHF segment "Stanley Spadowski's Clubhouse" with the marble in the oatmeal amps up the Fanservice up to eleven with Candice and Sara wrestling in the oatmeal and really getting into the moment.
    • Now that the show has relaunched, Gina Darling and Fiona Nova play this trope like a fiddle whenever they get the chance, such as when they performed a recreation of a TikTok video as Gina slowly leaned into Fiona's arms, holding a glass in her teeth while Fiona tried to drink out of it.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Kevin Pereira in an orange bikini with Carissa Walford.
    • Also, Kevin in a maid outfit. Diving into a giant chocolate pie.
  • Retroactive Recognition: At Comic Con 2008, Olivia Munn hosted a Slave Leia cosplay competition. The winner was YouTuber Liana K - although at the time she would have been known for her hosting and presenting in Canada.
  • Tear Jerker: Kevin's final show. While the cast tried to stay light-hearted, Candace and Sara break down in tears a few times, most especially at the end when saying their final goodbyes.
    • On top of that, the final sequence shows Kevin walking through a hallway containing costumes and props from his ten-year run on the show. At the end he comes to an unadorned dummy labeled "Kevin's Last Show," on which he puts his jacket and tie before shutting off the lights and leaving.
    • It is lightened by the fact that the last scene is Kevin getting offed by his "Manly" persona and telling the audience "Now that's how a real man quits a show!"
    • The final episode where the remaining staff and even a few that left come on and wish the viewers goodbye.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: The feelings of many after The Screen Savers was killed to give way to AOTS. It didn't help that practically all the original Tech TV hosts were fired en masse. Also, AOTS itself has changed several times, and many people dislike at least one of said changes.
