YMMV / Droopy

• Accidental Innuendo: The title of the 1990s Totally Radical anthology show Down Wit' Droopy D has become this following The New '10s slang meaning of "D".
• Bizarro Episode: "Blackboard Jumble" is pretty weird by Droopy standards. For one thing, Droopy was a bunch of lookalike kids that don't act anything like his name suggests. They were also all a LOT more malicious than Droopy usually is, actively pulling the (almost deadly) pranks on the wolf, while usually the villains do themselves in or are beaten by Droopy after pushing him too far. While it might have seemed like a normal MGM cartoon with any other kids, using Droopy was just plain odd.
• Can't Un-Hear It: You probably read the page in his voice as soon as you saw his picture.
• Crosses the Line Twice: "Droopy's Good Deed" has no fewer than three Blackface gags, all of which involve Ash Face—and all of which involve Spike on the receiving end. The fact that a hapless old English aristocrat also ends up in blackface in the last gag makes it come off as both offensive and hilarious at the same time!
• Designated Hero: In "Homesteader Droopy", the titular protagonist fences off a body of water that the local wildlife was using with no indication that he legally owns it. The sheriff tries to drive him off, and that's treated as a bad thing. Granted, he could've just asked Droopy to adjust the fence, and he did roughly pull a bottle out of a baby's mouth, but the sheriff and the cow who notified him of Droopy's actions were right to be mad at him.
• Director Displacement: There are a handful of Droopy cartoons that were not directed by Tex Avery but people often assumes that he did. The biggest offender of this is "Sheep Wrecked" due to infamous female sheep scene, as it is very reminicent of Tex's gags in some of his works at Warner Bros., when in reality, it was directed by Michael Lah.
• Ensemble Dark Horse:
  • The unnamed female sheep from the short "Sheep Wrecked", despite only being seen for six seconds. She gained a cult following on the Internet starting in 2012 thanks to /co/. She was featured in a lot of fanart and became very popular in the Furry Fandom.
  • The unnamed Mellow Fellow wolf antagonist (sometimes nicknamed "Jubilo Wolf" after the tune he's usually whistling and played by Daws Butler in the same voice he'd later use for Huckleberry Hound), whose easygoing nature and lack of malice made him a likable enough character to be the protagonist in two shorts of his own, one of which ("Billy Boy") didn't even feature Droopy at all.
• Ethnic Scrappy: Spike, in later cartoons has an Irish accent and he's usually portrayed as lazy, shifty bum.
• Fan Nickname: Fans have dubbed the curvaceous female sheep from "Sheep Wrecked" Leggy Lamb.
• Fandom Rivalry: As mentioned on the Tom and Jerry page, because WarnerMedia doesn't own the MGM trademarks (as the studio continues to operate independently) there is some dispute which library Droopy and company are best associated with. The character is officially owned by Turner Entertainment Co., the current Warner Bros. subsidiary that was created when Turner Broadcasting purchased the pre-1986 MGM library, which does not really have a brand identity of its own. Nowadays Droopy is mostly used in Tom and Jerry productions; he was the only non-Tom and Jerry character from MGM in Jonny Quest crossover Tom and Jerry: Spy Quest.
  • Back in the 1990s when Droopy was utilized by Hanna-Barbera, he was often included in various promotional group shots as a welcomed member of the ensemble, even though Droopy was created not by them but by Tex Avery. However by the end of the MGM days the actual Hanna and Barbera were the now producers on the last Droopy cartoons. So some people don't mind Droopy getting that association.
  • On the other hand a lot more hardcore Tex Avery fans would prefer without a MGM brand, Droopy be more associated with the Looney Tunes going forward, especially considering Tex Avery was an ex-Warner Bros. staffer.
  • There really is no solo Droopy merchandise on WB's online shop to compare like there is Tom and Jerry. Things that feature Droopy in them come when you select the Hanna-Barbera brand. At the present, the Droopy set and Tom and Jerry Spotlight Collection volume 1 retain their original looks while the 2nd and 3rd volumes of the Tom and Jerry Spotlight Collection are now carrying the Hanna-Barbera Diamond Collection branding. The Tex Avery MGM Cartoons release would not feature an MGM or Hanna-Barbera branding instead offering to just namedrop Tex Avery himself.
• Fan Nickname: The unnamed sheep that suddenly turned anthropomorphic in "Sheep Wrecked" was nicknamed "Leggy Lamb" by the Internet.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: "Out-Foxed", from 1949, has the fox reading a newspaper called "Fox News"!
• Memetic Mutation: "Sheep Wrecked" is what gave us the "leggy lamb" meme.
• One-Scene Wonder: In the 1958 cartoon "Sheep Wrecked", the unnamed female sheep gag character who appears for a total of six seconds. However, she ended up becoming popular on 4chan's /co/ and was nicknamed "Leggy Lamb", derived from the next line said by the wolf after the gag.
• Popular with Furries: "Leggy Lamb" from "Sheep Wrecked" has caught a lot of attention from the furry fandom beginning in The New '10s. Her popularity only increased after being very prominent in a fan animated music video "Beep Beep I'm A Sheep".
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: For some, the shorts without Avery. This in some cases also applies into the earlier example.
