YMMV / 12 oz. Mouse

• Anti-Climax Boss: The Shadowy Figure. After all the buildup the show gives him, we never find out who (or what) he is, and right when he's about to unleash his full potential, Rectangular Businessman turns him into a puddle of dark water with his telepathic powers in mere seconds.
• Awesome Music:
  • "F-Off"
  • The kickass drum solo Skillet performs at the end of the alternate version of "Spider."
  • Special mention to the episode Auraphull. Beginning with a Sinatra-esque cover of the opening theme, and eventually transitioning to an extended version of F-Off.
  • The special episode Invictus features outro music by Swedish metal band Amaranthe, who have been confirmed to also do the theme tune for season 3.
• Better on DVD: The out of print DVD set combines all the episodes of the first two seasons into a seamless movie. This allows the plot to flow better and the jokes and continuity to make more sense.
• Cult Classic: To some people.
• Epileptic Trees: Some have theorized that this show is a parody (affectionate or otherwise) of The Big O.
• Growing the Beard:
  • As the show began to adopt thriller and Mind Screw elements, the characterization and writing improved tenfold.
  • The moment when the show became good, in the eyes of most fans, is at the end of the third episode.
• Ho Yay: Shark eventually tells Fitz that he loves him, and not in that way. Okay, maybe a little in that way. Sort of. 50/50.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: The episode Star Wars VII was probably named so because people on the crew thought there'd never, ever be another Star Wars film.
• Nightmare Fuel: The dialog and presentation can make for a very disorienting experience.
  • "You found my record, didn't you? Now... spin it."
  • The... mode of conveyance the Hand uses to return to Roostre.
  • Rhoda's very abrupt and violent death at the hands of RBM.
  • The Shadowy Figure is probably the most prominent, skin deep example. Despite just being a simple, black figure that looks like a paper cutout, he's terrifying with the way he just stands there and makes noises that sound like a psychotic man rambling put on fast-forward.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Amalockh. He gets summoned by Pronto and destroys the city all over, and it seems to be built up as a possible Final Boss after he kills off Rectangular Businessman. Instead, he just disappears without a trace (likely due to Archeus' Deus ex Machina), and no one seems to reference him, either, beyond a slight token mention in Invictus.
• Tear Jerker: Skillet's death near the end of the second season. He comes back.
• The Woobie: The Eye. He's the nicest, most pacifistic character in the whole show, and he's constantly talked down to by others due to his Verbal Tic and the fact that he's an eye. On top of that, he always ends up getting harmed or tortured one way or another by the antagonists. And at no point does he ever stand up for himself.
  • Luckily, he does Take a Level in Badass in season 3.
• Ugly Cute: Fitz's daughter.
