YMMV / Get Fuzzy

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Are Bucky's straw conservative statements based on his actual viewpoints? Or is he just expressing them to annoy his liberal roommates?
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Mac Manc Mcmanx is a pretty darn cool and funny character. He speaks in all sorts of Brit lingo and apparently squats in Rob's house. It certainly doesn't hurt matters that he's not a Jerkass like Bucky is.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • Bucky doctored one of Satchel's Where's Waldo? books by changing it to Where's Osama?. At the end, a bunch of American troops find him, and presumably kill him, prompting Rob to say "you can't sell this to kids". In 2011...
  • Bucky running afoul of the "squirrel mafia" is even funnier because of this true story of a squirrel running what can only be described as a protection racket.
• Jerkass Woobie: Rob is slightly this. His pets seem to be a nuisance (Played Straight with Bucky, with his sociopathic behavior), and his property can't get a break, but he can be rude (or, at least at times, such as grounding Bucky for sucking at making a good pun) to his pets, too.
• Misaimed Fandom: PETA fans don't seem to realize that the strip doesn't exactly cheer for the organization.
• Padding: The last few years of the weekday strips tended to draw their jokes out to ridiculous lengths, often to the point where a single subject could last several weeks, having devolved into rephrasing the same punchline as many times as possible. The most egregious example may be a series of strips starting here which just sort of stopped eventually without any actual punchline or payoff.
• The Woobie:
  • Satchel, who is almost always being abused by Bucky, both verbally and physically.
  • Bucky's cousin Mac Manc Mcmanx counts. His girlfriend got in a huge fight with him, he got a teacup/plate embedded in his skull, he was detained by airport security and mistaken as a terrorist, no one can understand his dialect except Bucky and above all, he's an Ugly Cute. Awww... someone give him a hug already!
