YMMV / Numberjacks

Go To

  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Why were the humans lying down in "Into the Teens"? Were they being dramatic with how frustrated they are, or did the Numbertaker make them lie down?
  • Awesome Music:
    • The theme song has a mysterious, but heroic vibe to bop along to.
    • The main "mission" theme, primarily heard when a Numberjack is returning to the sofa, reassuring the audience that the good guys are going to win/have won.
    • Each of the meanies has their own Villain Song. Of them, the Puzzler has a snazzy jazz theme, and the Numbertaker has a catchy, yet sinister tango.
  • Base-Breaking Character: Depending on who you ask, Three is either a charming, funny little girl, a sympathetic victim of age discrimination, or an annoying screen hog.
  • Creepy Awesome: Due to his silent, expressionless demeanor, The Numbertaker is remembered for being arguably the most sinister of the Meanies.
  • Memetic Mutation:
    • (Messiah Noises)/Eight is the Messiahnote 
    • beanos note 
    • "Die! Mhm! Oh, oh, um, ooh, I don't remember that."note 
    • Fans of Battle for Dream Island love making parallels between the Numberjacks Four and their series resident blue numerical Reality Warper... Who also happens to be a Four.
    • "You simply have less value"note 
  • Moe:
    • One, because of her babyish expression and behavior.
    • Three, being a Cheerful Child.
  • Periphery Demographic: Some teens enjoy the show for the "cute" characters and fun writing.
  • Toy Ship: Four/Three and Six / Five are quite popular ships.
  • Ugly Cute: The Numberjacks aren't exactly the best designed characters in preschool media, but something about them makes them very endearing.
  • Unintentional Uncanny Valley: The Numberjacks themselves. Their realistic eyes, hollow mouths, and the fact that they have noses have creeped a few people out.
  • The Woobie: Three is a mild version of this. She's constantly discriminated against because she's young, and it took a while for her to achieve her dream of going on a mission. Especially in "In, Out, Shake It All About", where Six shushes her when all she did was state her opinion.
