YMMV / Downtown

Go To

  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: At the end of Cropsey Clanners, Alex, Jen, Chaka and Mecca are arguing when their car is suddenly attacked by the Jersey Devil.
  • Cult Classic: While it only aired for one season, Downtown remains one of MTV's most fondly remembered shows.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Despite making only three appearances (the last being a silent cameo) Lizzie has her fans.
  • Fan-Preferred Couple: A sizeable number of fans would rather have Alex go steady with Jen than Serena.
  • Values Dissonance: Chaka decides she's going to do do something so shocking, so outre, that Mecca won't dare try to copy her. So she...shaves off all her pubic hair. Twenty years later, Brazilian waxes are, if not the norm, certainly a thriving industry.
  • The Woobie: Lizzie. She's constantly depressed, has just barely enough strength to open a photo copier, Chaka and Mecca talk shit about her behind her back, and Chaka once left her on hold to hang out with Mecca and didn't call her back.
