YMMV / Bump in the Night

• Ensemble Dark Horse: The Germ Girl from "Adventures in Microbia" is very popular even though she's a minor character. It helps that she's voiced by E.G. Daily.
• Fridge Brilliance: Why was Little Robot speaking perfect English in Made in Japan II when she only spoke Japanese in Made in Japan? Given that Squishington had to read the subtitles in order to understand her, she probably learned English from him so they could communicate better when they wrote to each other. Also probably did her a world of good since she and her sister remained in America after II.
• Fridge Horror: The "Comfort Schmumfort" song involves Molly being fed up with being the one everyone goes to lean on when they need medical attention or cheering up and wanting to have some free time for a change. Everyone else makes no effort to treat/cheer up themselves, and eventually Molly feels so bad for them that she treats the injured ones and cheers up the sad ones. This implies two things: one, that Molly will never have any free time, and two, that the others don't know how to treat or cheer up themselves, which has bad implications if Molly were to die or disappear or whatever. Fortunately, the series proper does show that Molly genuinely loves what she does.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The show is extremely beloved in Australia, where it was more successful than it was in the US.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • Janice Kawaye guest-starred in two episodes as Little Robot. Years later, she'd be known better for playing XJ9/Jenny, the titular character of My Life as a Teenage Robot.
  • In the beginning of "Farewell 2 Arms", Molly makes a face that is identical to the PogChamp meme face, right down to her too doing it out of excitement and surprise. Take a look. Keep in mind this is a show that came out in 1994, a full 17 years before the video which would birth the PogChamp face aired.
  • Speaking of Molly, Ragatha from The Amazing Digital Circus is incredibly similar looking. While they're both based on Raggedy Ann, they do share a few unique features like the mismatched button eyes.
• Referenced by...: In GoldenEye, a stamp of Mr. Bumpy can be seen in the left of Boris's computer.
• Retroactive Recognition: Anndi McAfee (the girl who played the nameless little sister) is the same one who voiced Phoebe Hyderdahl on Nickelodeon's Hey Arnold!.
• Suspiciously Similar Song: The Karaoke Cafe song "The Things You Make Me Want to Do" sounds very similar to the Bobby Darrin song "Dream Lover".
• Ugly Cute:
  • Molly Coddle and Germ Girl both manage to be somewhat endearing in spite of their weird appearances.
  • The Closet Monster also has his moments of being adorable in spite of being hideous.
  • Mr. Bumpy, the main character, manages to be this in spite of his appearance.
• The Woobie: Squishington is sometimes this, one particular example being in the Christmas special when he feels depressed over his inability to tap dance due to his lack of feet.
