YMMV / Chikn Nuggit

• Base-Breaking Character:
  • Iscream became one due to Flanderization. Some find Iscream becoming a Butt-Monkey to everyone else a funny joke, while others are not happy about that. On top of that, they don’t like how Iscream has deteriorated into little more than a way to tell horny jokes, and wish Iscream would return to their old, creepy, demonic self again.
  • Slushi would slowly become one over time, as some fans would get progressively tired of her being little more than a way to make relatable moments and fandom culture/fanart/cosplay gags, or be a mouthpiece to state a message occasionally.
  • While Cofi does have a generally positive reception due to her clever character concept, others found her interactions with Iscream annoying and borderline creepy.
  • Initial reactions to Bezel are the most controversial the series has ever had up to this point. Some thought he was a cool, well-designed, and unique character that could bring a lot of interesting ideas and storylines to the series, while others didn’t like his severe case of Non-Standard Character Design (which was even brought up in one short), and thought he was an outlandish idea of a character that goes against what the series has become up to this point.
• Broken Base: The developing story since the introduction of Bezel garnered mixed reactions. Some welcomed it and think it would expand the world and characters while still remaining comedic. Other fans have either complained that it's unnecessary for the show as its original format was comedy, or said that it either barely makes any sense, can get tiresome and tedious to watch, or is just rather silly and dumb. And also, some people have made points that making lore in a miniseries is not really possible, especially with just sub-30 second bite sized shorts. Many fans kept discussing, Is all the "serious lore" really an interesting way to take the series in a new direction and explore the characters more? Or is it part of a series that originally started off simple, but is now trying to make a half-baked attempt at trying to be deep and interesting for no reason other than to get people talking?
  • Not helping is that lore shorts have had an inconsistent schedule, taking a few weeks long, or even a month or two, mainly due to the fact that the show still does alot of filler episodes that take up alot of the show, with very few lore shorts happening. Because of this, fans of this show eagerly waiting for the lore shorts have been angered in impatience ever since, especially when they wanted their questions regarding the lore to be answered already.
• Crack Ship: Despite not interacting together yet, Hawt Saus x Slushi seems to be a surprisingly popular ship. This is likely due to both of them being relatively normal compared to the other characters.
• Creepy Cute: As out of nowhere Iscream's rather demonic tendencies can be, it's hard to claim they're not cute, being an adorable bunny rabbit with a high-pitched, childlike voice.
• Jerkass Woobie: Surprisingly, Hawt Saus. He's definitely been cruel to the others and thinks of them as weirdos, but when he's rejected by Sody Pop and Fwench Fwy, you can't help but feel bad for the poor guy.
• Moe: A GOOD majority of the cast counts as this with how adorable they are.
• Ship-to-Ship Combat: Despite Cofi and Chee canonically being in love, there are a bunch of fans who argue with each other over whether Chee should've ended up with Chikn instead.
• Moment of Awesome:
  • Chikn standing up to Hawt Saus for making Chee cry.
  • "IT’S GO TIME!! 🥊💢" AKA Chikn threatens to beat up anyone that was mean to the viewer.
  • Fwench Fwy's True form is that of an enormous, Intimidating Dragon (Which Chikn still finds cute.)
  • Cofi Stands up to Iscream after they were trying to scare Cheezborger.
  • Fwench Fwy is heavily implied to be weaponizing Iscream's Abhorrent Admirer tendencies towards Bezel to keep him from antagonizing Chikin and friends
• Popular with Furries: With a cast that primarily consists of semi-anthropomorphic talking animals with adorable, colorful designs and fun personalities, this series naturally has its share of furry fans.
• Tear Jerker: For anyone who’s lost or grown apart from a friend in their lives is Exactly What It Says on the Tin.
• Viewer Species Confusion: Chikn Nuggit sometimes gets mistaken for a rabbit by new viewers (mostly due to his long floppy ears). Discussed in two shorts.
• What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: Iscream is SURPRISINGLY creepy for quite an adorable series, pulling stuff such as outright summoning demons.
