YMMV / Psmith

Go To

  • Crazy Is Cool: Psmith's bizarre way of handling life renders him Most Likely to Succeed in any given situation—besides making him seriously entertaining to read about.
  • Fan-Preferred Couple: Mike and Psmith both get female Love Interests by the end of the series, but fanfics overwhelmingly ship them together.
  • Growing the Beard: The introduction of Psmith is widely considered to be where Wodehouse began to hit his stride as a writer — as witness the page quote on the main page.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Mike's full name is Michael Jackson.
  • Ho Yay: In just about every book, Psmith will make a reference to them going off 'hand-in-hand' together. He 'hires' Mike as his secretary so as to share rooms with him and later convinces his father to sponsor Mike through university so as not to be split up from him. Not to mention the beginning of "Psmith, Journalist," where Psmith spends a good deal of time moping about the fact that Mike has to go off and play cricket.
