YMMV / Dudão

• Accidental Innuendo:
  • In the first story, when Dudão and Binho decide to play with kites, Dudão tells him "Hold my kite" and then "My line reel is one of the big ones, I'll share it with you".
  • In the iconic "Catiripapo" comic, Zuca asks Tato if he wants a catiripapo. Without knowing what that word means^note A slap he answers: "It it's pleasuring, give me it!"
  • The iconic design of the characters' eyes is often considered to look phallic. According to the character designer, he just meant to make a recognizable art style, and did not notice any innuendo until some people pointed it out to him shortly after the comic's release.
• Aluminum Christmas Trees: The word "catiripapo" was not invented by Zuca. It actually exists in real life, defined as a push or slap.
• Bile Fascination: The reason that got most people interested in the comic in the first place, after its popularity surge in 2020, was the bizarre art style and the low quality of the stories' scripts, which range to being laughably poorly written at best to outright being awful lessons and containing prejudicial and offensive language.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Pita is considered by most of the fandom (and even people who dislike the series) as the only good character in the series, especially in the later issues when he's often the victim of the characters while he's just minding his business. The only reason he's not loved more is due to Early-Installment Weirdness; in early seasons, he would sometimes do bad things like releasing a monkey out of the zoo cage.
• Fountain of Memes: Paçoca, especially his Signature Laugh "Ah! Ah!"
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In a 1995 comic featuring Baldinho, he keeps pronouncing only half of several words, due to being just a toddler. At one point, when Binho tells him to control himself, Baldinho replies "vou controlar" ("I'll control it") as "vou trolar". This was several years before "trolling" (and its Portuguese counterpart "trollar", which Baldinho's line sounds like) became a widespread common verb, especially in Brazil.
• Never Live It Down: Several characters have this moment for them.
  • Dudão: Saying that men and women should conform to their standard stereotypes, and stopping Pita from playing violent video-games.
  • Binho: Becoming racist and loathing black people just because Zuca made fun of his bee-stung ear.
  • Paçoca: Stopping a fire at a black man's house and saying he already got burned from it.
  • Pita: Releasing a monkey from the zoo's cage.
  • Tato: Frequently hitting his friends for minor reasons, especially Rebeca.
  • Zuca: Kicking and harrassing several animals in a story (although he gets his Laser-Guided Karma, being chased by an angry goat).
• Parody Displacement: Some people think Dudão was obscure since its creation until 2020 when it became a meme, but plenty of people already knew the characters during the 90's. Plus, in 2018/2019 people already talked about the comic, but just the covers (that already showed the weird titles and character designs).
• Retroactive Recognition: The series' songs were recorded in 1992 by the singer Aline Barros, who back then was only 17 and this was her first work. Nowadays, she's a very well known singer in Brazil.
• Signature Scene: The part in the story "Rindo à Toa!" where Paçoca starts laughing at a man carrying stairs with paint buckets and says "Ah! Ah! There comes the slum train!". The most iconic scene of the whole franchise is immediately after, when Paçoca continues laughing at him and says "Ah! Ah! Slum guy!"
• Tough Act to Follow: Luan G.B.'s fanmade dub is highly praised by fans and regarded by them as, basically, the official voices of the characters (which they don't even really have so far). Any other dub is regarded by most as being inferior.
• Unintentionally Sympathetic: The atheist characters (especially Paçoca and Pita) are portrayed as morally wrong, but the fans like them the most and think they're way funnier than the Christian kids. Pita is especially worthy of this, with fans approving of him saying swear words, combing his hair and playing video-games, which were portrayed as bad actions in the comics (at most, only the first one is actually negative).
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: In one of the most controversial stories, Binho starts calling Zuca by several racist nicknames and even going as far to say he dislikes black people and, from his own words, he became a racist. In the end of the story, Zuca saves Binho's life after the latter gets stuck on top of a tall tree, and apologizes for his acts. The audience is supposed to sympathize with Binho after his redemption on that part, but many people felt that it was a bad moral because the only reason Binho stopped being racist is because Zuca helped him. Thus, it feels like the moral of the story is about respecting people because they may be beneficial, not out of common sense and kindness.
