YMMV / Danger 5

• Awesome Moments:
  Nazi: You hit a woman!
  Jackson: I hit a nazi!
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Kilroy in "Final Victory".
• Contested Sequel: Series 2's shift to an aesthetic inspired by The '80s and overall Denser and Wackier tone is seen as either a natural and welcomed follow-up to the tone of the first series or a detrimental change that strips the series of much of its identity. The loss of Claire and introduction of intentional Scrappy Holly are also rather sore subjects for some fans.
• Crosses the Line Twice: Series 2 amps up the dark humor considerably, and beautifully. The last episode ends with Pierre sleeping with a woman. Her husband comes in, shoots them both, then himself. The camera closes in on Pierre's body, making it seem like he's just faking his death and will come back to life... he doesn't.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Pierre appears to be a parody of this. A straighter example would be Mckenzie, Pierre's Lion butler from season 2.
• Ho Yay:
  • Pierre and Tucker.
  • Jackson takes it even further in series 2.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • Oh my god, it's Hitler's dog!
  • "Agent Hitler. FBI."
  • "The walls are full of Nazis!"
  • Sensible Chuckle^Explanation A .gif depicting Tucker reading a page from a magazine with this name and then emitting a sensible chuckle is commonly used on sites like Tumblr as a reaction to clever puns etc.
  • "Father, cat is hungry." "We will buy another cat." (money rains down)
  • The Sit-Down gun.
  • Viewers commenting that Hitler got away through the window.
• Nightmare Fuel: The later episodes of Series 2 manage to be pretty unnerving while still being funny.
• The Scrappy:
  • Parodied with Kilroy. An anthropomorphic dog that spouts stoned surfer jargon and contributes very little, even hindering a mission by stashing his munchies in a submarine compartment where valuable equipment was supposed to be kept. Pierre always laughs at his antics and tells Kilroy he's the best, even though Kilroy's a pretty selfish character. Thankfully he's killed in his debut episode.
  • Parodied again with Holly, a cringe-inducingly obnoxious teenage brat played completely straight who serves only as The Load that the rest of the team need to constantly supervise and with Complete Immortality guaranteeing that she'll never die. All in all this makes the rest of the team hate her guts to the point where they all groan when she's forced to wear the fifth power ring.
• The Woobie:
  • Tucker. He'd do anything for Claire, but is constantly getting pushed away. When they do finally get married, she's killed and he's left grieving.
  • Jackson is a bit of an Iron Woobie. He's constantly being strung along by Ilsa while she has numerous flings with evil men right in front of him. It gets worse in season 2, where he's constantly plagued with Vietnam flashbacks and ends up getting raped by his archnemesis wearing a mask shaped like Ilsa's face while the real Ilsa laughs at him.
• Woolseyism: The Japanese dub's Hitler sounds amazingly like that of the Hitler in the Japanese dub of Downfall. It really adds to the feeling of realism.
