YMMV / Dave the Barbarian

Go To

  • Aluminum Christmas Trees: While it's an obvious stand-in for a modern-day shopping mall, the Great Indoor Marketplace is actually one of the least anachronistic things about Udragoth - there were a great many medieval cities that contained designated buildings for marketplaces, and some are still in use today.
  • Cult Classic: The show was critically acclaimed and is widely considered to be one of the funniest Disney Channel shows ever made...but it suffered from low ratings and was suddenly cancelled after just one season.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Twinkle the Marvel Horse. It helps that his voice is based on Christopher Walken.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The show proved to be extremely popular in Latin America, to the point of where reruns aired on both Jetix and, later on, Disney XD for years after it was cancelled in the United States.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • From "A Pig's Story": Getting shot through space out of your spaceship to land on the enemy's spaceship? Sounds familiar...
    • The episode, "Shrink Rap" has Candy trying on a meat dress.
  • Memetic Mutation: "Thinking quickly, Dave constructed a megaphone using only a squirrel, a rope and a megaphone".
  • Superlative Dubbing: The LatAM dub is considered superior to the original dub with Ariel Cister giving Dave a more energetic yet wimpy performance, Pablo Gandolfo turning Chuckles into a hammy, fast-talker and Ricardo Lani as the narrator who hams it up up to eleven as if were an Epic tale.
