YMMV / Bear Nuts

• Broken Aesop: When Evil is thrown out of the zoo for trying to eat children, Prozac's reasoning for rescuing him even though nobody likes him is Family is Family. This apparently does not apply to Sloth Bear, who suffered the same fate, and was actually present when the rescue party found Evil. Prozac didn't even seem to notice.
• Crosses the Line Twice: Many of Evil's antics.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Crack's Freak Out moments had been often Played for Laughs. But in Cracking The Surface, they take a serious and disturbing turn when he violently kills and eats a goose in front of zoo goers, and in Undiscovered Country, it's revealed that, when he was a little cub, he lost his siblings to a crocodile and shortly after, his mom to a hunter, which explains why he's such a nervous wreck. Suddenly, all those earlier moments of him losing it become a lot less funny.
• Ho Yay: Mostly between Gay and Lech. That, or Vitriolic Best Buds, which would be interesting because they can't stand each other. Unless they're picking on Crack.
• Moment of Awesome: Prozac singlehandedly saving Lech, Nerd and Evil from the polar bears.
  • And now, Madge and Ella saving Sara from the polars. And afterwards, the elephants giving Sara a real form of payback for her abuse of power in her introduction.
• Moral Event Horizon: Admit it. If Evil had his way, Vanity, or a kid before that, would have been his reason to cross it.
  • That the intention was there arguably puts him well past it already.
• Nightmare Fuel: The reason Gimp never removes his mask? Being tested on to the point where his skull is showing! The Unstoppable Rage doesn't help, either.
• Portmanteau Couple Name: "Glech" for Gay and Lech. Used by the comic's creator, too!
