YMMV / Grizzy and the Lemmings

• Accidental Aesop: Unwittingly, some of Grizzy and the Lemmings' exploits are cautionary tales about the dangers of greed. Often, their story ends badly (if in comical fashion) because they let themselves get too greedy for their own good. One example is "Cellular Bear", which ends with the ledge they are on giving way because they all ordered stuff to be shipped to them all at once.
• Funny Moments:
  • Anytime the titular characters turn to the camera with a half-eyed frown, mainly at the end of nearly every episode.
  • The Lemmings' One-Word Vocabulary of "Tabodi". Made especially funny when Grizzy imitates it, like when he is fooling around with the titular puppet of "Ranger Lemming".
  • "Carried Away Bear" opens with the lemmings trying to steal a jar of hazelnut spread (again), only for Grizzy to stop them. The funny part is the disappointed head-shake he gives them, as though clearly thinking "You guys are incorrigible".
  • "Mind in a Whirl" has She-Bear getting hit on the head and thinking she's a lemming, complete with saying "Tabodi" and a cross-eyed look that's out of character for her. And then at the end, She-Bear gets hit again and ends up thinking she's a partridge, filling herself with helium and flying off! Grizzy and the Lemmings are both dumbfounded and unamused.
• Heartwarming Moments:
  • In "The Bear Next Door", there's apparently an alternate universe where Grizzy and the Lemmings are good friends who run a chocolate spread museum as partners, and casually work together to retrieve the chocolate spread when they're robbed. In contrast to our Grizzy and Lemmings (who are always at each others' throats), it's strangely sweet.
  • In "Ranger Lemming", our characters' latest shenanigans have animated the titular lemming puppet and a teddy bear puppet. Ranger Lemming would've gladly duked it out with Ranger Teddy. ...had the latter not offered an olive branch and peacefully hugged the former instead. The two instantly become the best of friends, which is more than we can say for their real life counterparts.
  • In the show's Sick Episode, the Lemmings come down with the cold. Grizzy would normally do his thing and throw them out, except he can't. Why? For being a jerk, he can't find it in himself to throw them out on the principle that the poor lemmings are so sick. While his treating them is out of the selfish agenda that he'll throw them out once they're well again, the fact he goes through with nursing them back to health shows Grizzy has a heart deep down.
  • In "Bear Charm", Grizzy mistakenly believes his beloved She-Bear has been turned into a frog. What is his response to this turn of events? Take her back to his cabin and try to take care of her why she's a she-frog. And that's before he learns of a potential way to cure her. Whatever Grizzy's flaws, there's a hint his affection for his beloved She-bear goes beyond simply wanting to get with her.
  • In "As Far as Bear Can Remember", when Grizzy and the Lemmings reminisce over their childhoods after finding a lunchbox, it's revealed that they mutually enjoyed discovering the Ranger's cabin and playing around with the things in it. Even if that friendship gradually went astray after trying out Yummy spread for the first time, it goes to show how innocent both sides used to be.
• Karmic Overkill: Some of the endings can be unnecessarily cruel to the main characters, even if they had been jerks to each other. Namely when they find large amounts of their favorite foods enough for them to share and are willing to form a truce over it, only for something bad to happen to them like every other episode.
• Moment of Awesome:
  • In the sword-fighting, Grizzy is infused with a swashbuckling ghosts' sword-fighting abilities, putting him on equal grounds with the lemmings. What follows is Grizzy (dressed in Puss in Boots fashion, no less) engaging in a daring sword-fight with the Lemmings. One could almost mistake this for a swashbuckling adventure!
  • In "BatGrizzy", Grizzy stumbles upon a cave that apparently is the headquarters of a Batman stand-in! There's something to be said that a world as silly as this cartoon has its own Batman!
  • "In Service of the King" has that one lemming who is on a mission to free his fellow lemmings from Grizzy's mind control staff. There's an element of how the lone lemming is trying to save his friends from servitude, and the lengths he goes is admirable.
  • The climax of "Kung Fu Lemming" has Grizzy and the Lemmings team up to use their kung fu fire-bending to save them selves from being crushed by a ledge.
• Nightmare Fuel: The Downer Ending of "Theft Reactions" has Grizzy and the Lemmings being turned to a crystal statue by a stone giant. This time, there are no half-eyed frowns at the camera like in most other episodes, but their horrified reactions frozen in place.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: The show sometimes has episodes where the sympathy is one-sided for either Grizzy or the Lemmings. "Construction Bear" is one of them. Although it's for ulterior motives, Grizzy is clearly putting his heart and soul into making something with his own sweat and blood and tears. And despite that, that doesn't stop the lemmings from wanting to know it down, no matter what form it takes.
