YMMV / Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!

Go To

  • Accidental Innuendo: In the episode "Escape from Dino Island", one catchphrase the Silly-saurus says is "Hooty hooty hoo!" Looking up the meaning of "hooty hoo", the phrase is typically used in a not-appropriate-for-kids kind of way. Parents won't typically mind regardless, as the dinosaur doesn't use it in any suggestive way at all.
  • Adorkable: Walden's cute in appearance, as the main four and some other characters are already, and he's already shy with his secret fears.
  • Awesome Music: Every episode has a catchy song at the end. Some highlights include "Made by You", "Be Happy", "Mr. Cool", "Small Thing", "That's What Friends Are For", and "Beautiful World". The standout is "Sing a Song", which has the benefit of being performed by BeyoncĂ©.
  • Base-Breaking Character: Daizy. Created to increase the show's appeal, but lessened it for some. Bob Boyle being a former animator on a show that would eventually become notorious for its over-reliance on adding new characters likely doesn't help the latter opinion.
  • Broken Base: Fans are divided on whether or not the second season is better than the first.
  • Fridge Logic: If Wubbzy was concerned about his tail in "A Tale of Tails", why didn't he just try to tie it up or cover it with an accessory?
  • Funny Moments:
    • In "Woozy Walden", the reason Walden is woozy is because he has a disease called "chicken-itis", which makes him cluck like a chicken instead of speaking. The cure is to keep warm and take a nap, so he points to the pink blanket which would warm him up and shushes Wubbzy and Daizy. However, they don't understand and think pointing to the pink blanket means he wants his observatory painted pink, and think "shh" is him trying to say he wants soup.
    • In "The Nasty Nose", Widget tries to change Wubbzy's nose back to normal but can only give him animal noses. Then, the machine malfunctions and turns the main four into different animals until they change back. Also, at the end, Huggy, Buggy, and Earl are wearing a helmet, clown shoes, and big gloves respectively. When it's revealed that Huggy had swollen, polka-dot ears and Buggy had swollen, polka-dot feet, Wubbzy assumes Earl has swollen, polka-dot hands, but he was just wearing the gloves for kicks.
    • The Running Gag of the kid saying an odd occurrence is "kooky" is funny even outside of the target demographic.
    • Many from the "Don't Lie" song:
      • The various characters Wubbzy tries to blame his misdeeds on include an unamused-looking frog, an elephant, a moose, a goldfish, and a snake (who he blamed for leaving footprints).
      • The lines "If you do something bad, don't blame the squirrel", "If you ate the cheese, don't blame the mouse", and "If you rip your pants, don't blame the pup".
      • Wubbzy trying to cover up his juice spill with a dog.
      • A bird giving Wubbzy the stink eye for cutting down its tree.
      • At the end, Wubbzy tries to lie and point to someone else... but accidentally points at a mirror.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: This wouldn't be the only Nick Jr. show to feature characters named Shimmer and Shine.
  • Periphery Demographic: The show has a decent-sized following of teens and adults since it's so wholesome and quirky. It is especially popular with autistic people, due to Wubbzy's relatability to them.
  • Surprise Difficulty: The game Wubbzy's Amazing Adventure is this if you're going for all the bolts, since the game takes a few mechanics from Sonic the Hedgehog such as when you are hit by an egg or chick, you lose a bolt.
  • Sweet Dreams Fuel: The show is very adorable in tone.
  • Tear Jerker: See here.
  • Toy Ship: Wubbzy and Daizy. Given the two had their ship tease moments in the show, it's no surprise that they are the most popular ship in the fandom.
  • Viewer Gender Confusion: Wubbzy. It doesn't help that Grey DeLisle is doing his voice, which sounds very feminine.
