YMMV / Dick Figures

Go To

  • Awesome Art: Thanks to the incredibly simplistic art-style, pretty much EVERY episode is animated in an incredibly fluid and expressive way that's astounding to watch, with the most notable things being the many fight scenes.
  • Awesome Ego: Red, to a degree. Incredible feats of Jerkassery aside, the guy is still capable of pulling off intense fight sequences and has a plethora of weird powers at his disposal that he uses liberally. If he's on your side, you're set for the day.
  • Awesome Music: Bath Rhymes: The FULL version.
  • Crosses the Line Twice:
    • In "Freshman 15", Raccoon (the Japanese guy) says while DJaying, "We gonna drop it like-a Hiroshima!"
    • From the same episode, Mr. Dingleberry accidentally inventing a new type of dance through his violent spastic motions when having a seizure, especially since he explicitly states to a freshman who confuses his movements for him dancing wildly that he's having a seizure.
    • Red having the campers he and Blue were put in charge of in Camp Anarchy tie up Bigfoot and forcing Blue to partake in beating the defenseless cryptid as the former begins crying and begging Bigfoot for forgiveness due to genuinely feeling bad for the poor creature.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Lord Tourettes.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Pleasure Cruise, uploaded the day before the Costa Concordia struck a rock.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: In the episode "Steakosaurus", the time machine Red and Blue use is made in China. Later that year, China would ban media relating to Time Travel
  • Ho Yay:
    • The beginning of 'Panda Hat'.
      Red: (drunk) I love you! I wanna...let's...let's grow old together in every way! (deep and evil voice, background starts to blaze) EVERY WAY!
      • Blue was freaked out by that statement.
  • Jerkass Woobie / The Woobie: Depending on how much you think Blue can be a jerk, or unsympathetic, if the movie's any indication, his life has sucked.
  • Memetic Mutation: All over the place, to the point of the character Trollzor(and most episodes centered around him, by extension) being dedicated to them. Though Red and Blue occasionally embody Memetic Mutations themselves(Blue pulling a "Fuck Yea" in "Zombies and Shotguns", or Red doing a "Bear Grylls" in "Modern Flame War 3").
  • Seasonal Rot: The final season isn't as well-beloved as the others. Likely due to the more hit-and-miss nature of the episodes and retreading familiar stories. The Series Finale was praised however.
  • Squick: "The Burro Show"
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Fans of Lord Tourettes were upset that there was no "Chick Figures" Distaff Counterpart for him.
  • Viewer Gender Confusion: With his visible eyelashes and high-pitched voice, it's quite easy for someone unfamiliar with the series to mistake Lord Tourettes for a female, the only giveaway that he's a male being the lack of breasts (as almost every female character in the series is well-endowed). It doesn't help that he's the only character in "Chick Figures" to not be gender-flipped or have a Distaff Counterpart.
  • Wangst: Parodied with Blues superhero alter ego Bloser, the world's most depressing superhero, who tends to annoy everyone around him with his angsty remarks. His powers also involve invoking this in his opponents, making them too sad to continue fighting.
