YMMV / Most Offensive Video

Go To

  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Frequently invoked and Played for Laughs. For example, Charlie Brown seems to run a prostitution ring with Sally as one of his girls.
  • Crosses the Line Twice: It's not called "Most Offensive Video" for nothing. Everything that's racist, xenophobic, sexually depraved is always the punchline to any dialogue ever, all for the hell of it.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: "How the Grinch Stole Kwanzaa!" portrays Bill Cosby performing sexual acts on women, which has become this in light of the sexual abuse allegations leveled against him.
  • Memetic Mutation: Many quotes from the videos have become quite popular, especially among editing communities.
  • Squick: The numerous (and hopefully made-up) sex acts discussed in the videos. The "mustard dispenser" from "Jackie Robinson Was the First Black Baseball Player" is so disgusting that Linus gets grossed out by it in-universe.
    • The two stop-motion specials ("Rudolph the Five-Legged Reindeer" and "Fanta Claus is Comin'") show said sex acts in full, uncensored detail (the latter climaxes with perhaps the single-most disgusting sex scene ever conceived in any medium; we'll spare you the details). And yes, both videos were available on YouTube completely uncensored until COPPA went into effect.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: The MostOffensive crew did a "reissue" of A Charlie Brown Kwanzaa with new, cruder animation that changed the background and characters to match up with the dialogue (meaning the Peanuts gang are now all black and it's set in an inner-city ghetto). Professional and fan feedback on the change both concluded that making the visuals so on-the-nose killed a great deal of the short's humor and simply made it cross the line once.
