YMMV / The Amazing Spiez!

Go To

  • Alternate Character Interpretation: Aunt Trudy is shown to be quite nosy in the affairs of the Clark siblings, but given that her sister was a former spy, and she also married to another former spy as well, is she snooping to get proof on how being a secret agent runs in the family?
  • Best Known for the Fanservice: The scene where Tami attains utterly gigantic Hartman Hips is more often than the not the only thing people remember about the show and something that would be right at home in Totally Spies!. Same also goes for Megan as a giantess who later inflates into a giant blimp version of herself via Hacker's device malfunctioning (which would also be at home in the same series).
  • Fan Nickname: Marc and Megan are sometimes collectively called "The Ms", which was made semi-canon with the Missing Episode entitled "M's Again".
  • Heartwarming Moments: In the episode Sheena was introduced in, Marc has spent the entire episode trying and failing to get her to notice him, even going as far as using a WOOHP gadget to alter his appearance, which also fails. Towards the end of the episode, Marc decides he's going to try one more time and plans on using the gadget again. Megan (who had been encouraging the entire time and trying to convince Marc that he didn't need to change to get Sheena to like him) begrudgingly approves but insists that Marc let her set his appearance. He agrees and for the rest of the scene, Marc's face is obscured. After Sheena says yes, Marc goes back over to his sister and tells her that whatever look she gave him sure worked. Megan holds up a mirror...and reveals she just set his looks back to normal.
    Marc: No way...
    Megan: (affectionately) For a genius, you can be pretty dumb sometimes.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • Megan's Affectionate Nickname for Tony is "Brony", which was just a silly pun when the show was airing. Nowadays, Tony would probably find it an Embarrassing Nickname given the fandom it references...
    • Jimmy, the villain of "Operation: Fun and Games", wears a red shirt, has blond hair, and his "Duel Disk" holds three cards. While it's supposedly a combination of Yugi Muto/Jaden Yuki, his description actually would predate Yuga Ohdo.
  • Ho Yay: In "Operation Yeti Bear", Megan seems to be quite enamored with athletic prodigy Tara Prefontaine...
    Megan: Wow! That is one fantastic girl!
  • Shallow Parody: The first episode has a villain who is an Expy of Yugi Moto in appearance and voice, but the cards he uses are superheroes, which are more in line with Jaden Yuki.
