YMMV / Taz-Mania

• Americans Hate Tingle: Australian viewers disliked Buddy Boar due to him being a joke on Europeans introducing boars to Australia and screwing up its ecosystem.
• Cult Classic: Compared to other shows at the time, it rarely had any attention after the show was cancelled. The show is still considered a cult classic to this day.
• Diagnosed by the Audience: Taz is heavily implied to have the cartoon version of a mental or developmental disability. His family is a group of Civilized Animals, while he's a gluttonous brute who can barely talk.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Bull Gator & Axl, the Platypus Bros., Digeri Dingo and Hugh.
• Genius Bonus: Wendell T. Wolf is the last Tasmanian wolf (or thylacine) which went extinct in the 1930's. Ever since they were declared extinct, there have been reported sightings in both Tasmania and mainland Australia.
• Ho Yay: Axl seems really...devoted to Bull, and really acts with jealousy when the latter hangs out with Taz in "Hypnotazed".
• Memetic Mutation: "TAZ HATE WATER!!!!!"
• Nightmare Fuel: Happens when Molly adopts an adorable kitten. It may seem nice, but to Taz and the viewers, the cat becomes dangerously homicidal and evil. Even its eyes look very evil when it's in evil mode.
  • There's also the second episode where the kitty makes an appearance. It finds its way home on a dark, rainy night. The episode was essentially Taz: The Slasher Movie.
• The Problem with Licensed Games: While the Genesis and Master System games by Sega are considered good, or at least passable, the Game Gear version is an atrocious wreck. The graphics are hideous and the controls are sluggish and awkward, which only adds to the Fake Difficulty that's already present.^note The first level involves outrunning a boulder and requires absolute perfection and ends with a Leap of Faith, while the second requires you to know the exact route through a runaway mine cart level or else you'll hit a dead-end and die. The only boss in the game is a serious case of Guide Dang It!^note You have to jump up and hit hanging icicles with your spin attack, which for some reason causes fire to shoot out from the floor, and the sound and music...well, just have a listen for yourself.
• Retroactive Recognition: Jess Harnell sings the theme using a voice that's practically the same as his voice for Wakko Warner — but this show predated Animaniacs by two years.
• The Woobie:
  • Axl Gator is a sweet-natured simpleton who constant gets physically abused by Bull Gator whenever he says or does something clueless. This, combined with his cute character design and submissive attitude will most likely make you want to hug the poor guy. He's essentially the reptilian version of Pinky.
