YMMV / Clutch Cargo

• Accidental Nightmare Fuel: Those lips... those lips...
• Fridge Horror: Spinner is put into so much danger while going on adventures with Clutch that you really have to wonder, "Where are the parents?"
• Parody Displacement:
  • Many remember this show because its theme tune was hummed during the Max Headroom Broadcast Signal Intrusion in 1987.
  • There's at least a chunk of people who would most likely recognize Mr. Incredible and Pals first.
  • It may be recognized as the cartoon Butch is watching as a kid in Pulp Fiction.
• Special Effect Failure:
  • Really? They couldn't get Spinner's actress to clean off her lipstick during recording?
  • Between the 33 and 34 second mark of this video, you can see on the right hand side of the screen that the background runs out just before cutting to Clutch.
  • The entire show's animation qualifies ^note or at least what there was to call animation, ESPECIALLY their lips.
    • For scenes where syncro-vox wasn't used, character's mouths would remain static as they talked.
• Unintentional Uncanny Valley: One of the most notorious examples in television. The jarring effect of live-action lips on cartoon faces is why the only instances of synchro-vox outside of this show and two other Cambria Studios productions (Space Angel and Captain Fathom) have been ironic uses for the sake of comedy or creepiness.
• Values Dissonance: Ethnic stereotypes are encountered multiple times in this show, which isn't that surprising considering the time period this show was produced in.
