YMMV / T.U.F.F. Puppy

• Awesome Music: Much like Hartman's other two shows, the intro for this series is high energy and very well produced with a unique jazz sound to it.
• Base-Breaking Character: Dudley. Some find him funny and endearing thanks to him being voiced by Jerry Trainor of iCarly fame, others find him obnoxious and intolerable. It's generally agreed upon that Kitty is the better protagonist between the two.
• Draco in Leather Pants: Madame Catastrophe gets this very often in the fandom. Dr. Rabies does not, generally being turned into pure evil.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Madame Catastrophe and Dr. Rabies.
  • Little Chipmunk Girl
  • Tammy the secretary.
  • Daisy, Dudley's girlfriend from "Girlfriend or Foe".
  • The Fiendish League of Potential Perpetrators (F.L.O.P.P.)
  • Kitty's mom, even though she only ever appeared in a short flashback and as one of the Chameleon's disguises.
• Ham and Cheese: Even those who hate the show can't help but laugh while Snaptrap chews the scenery.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In "Mission: Really Big Mission", when the Chameleon introduces himself to D.O.O.M., telling them he does impressions at the Chuckie Hut every other Friday night, he morphs into a look-alike of Po the Panda. Twelve years later, Kung Fu Panda 4 would feature a shapeshifting villainess called the Chameleon as its main antagonist.
• Ho Yay: Dudley and Keswick even share a "Lady and the Tramp" kiss in "Law and Odor".
  • There's also the time that Bird Brain shot Dudley with a love ray in "Love Bird".
• I Am Not Shazam: Dudley is only referred to as T.U.F.F. Puppy in nickname form by Kitty and that's only once and it was said sarcastically.
• More Popular Replacement: Daisy is better well-received as Dudley's second girlfriend in her episode than Becky due to her more adorable design, adorably ditzy, chemistry with Dudley due to their similar mindsets, and voiced by Tara Strong doesn't hurt.
• Moral Event Horizon: Jack Rabbit betraying Kitty and T.U.F.F.
• Older Than They Think: A wolf popstar that Kitty's a fan of is named Justin Timberwolf, as mentioned in "Booby Trap." The Simpsons had already named Maggie's wolf plushy that in the episode "Midnight Towboy."
• Platonic Writing, Romantic Reading: Although in theory Kitty and Dudley's relationship is platonic, the sheer amount of Ship Tease has led many viewers to interpret it as romantic, and even when they both have love interests on separate sides, these love interests give the impression of being actually Romantic Runner-Up to Kitty and Dudley's relationship.
• Periphery Demographic: Among the Furry Fandom.
• The Scrappy: Becky from "Love Bird" isn't well-liked due to her bland personality and ugly design.
• Strawman Has a Point: Kitty was pretty much against working with Dudley and tends to still be from time to time. Given what Dudley does from time to time, it isn't unreasonable.
• Suspiciously Similar Song:
  • Compare this show's theme song with that of Teen Titans (2003), there is a similarity in the rhythm.
  • Given the spy theme of the show, the song sounds vaguely similar to Secret Agent Man.
• Tough Act to Follow: Being Hartman's first new project since Danny Phantom. Unfortunately, it never could reach that show's level of reception by viewers.
• Ugly Cute: The Chameleon is considered this for some fans.
• Unfortunate Character Design: Becky's design has drawn much ire from viewers, as the lighting on her nose unintentionally makes it look like she has a big hole in her face and her mouth is so far to the side of her face it's directly underneath her eye.
• The Woobie: Kitty Katswell. Her status as The Chew Toy at T.U.F.F. goes hand in hand with this. Her Amusing Injuries are usually funny, sometimes though: oh poor Kitty.
  • Dudley has his moments too, even if you consider him a gigantic nuisance at times.
  • Jerkass Woobie: The Chameleon pretty much lives and breathes this trope. It's played for laughs, as he's supposedly nasty thanks to being depressed about being alone, but half the reason he's alone is because he's such a nasty guy in the first place. It's not played for laughs when he almost gets T.U.F.F and D.O.O.M to destroy each other and the entire city by tricking them into destroying the city/their "bases," sharing an office, and watching as a real estate agent.
