YMMV / Fugget About It

• Base-Breaking Character: Petey Falcone/McDougal. You either love him for his Teen Genius and Nice Guy attitudes, or loathe him for being an Insufferable Genius and being a preachy Granola Boy. You also either enjoy it or sympathize with him when his Chew Toy status causes him to be the butt of mean-spirited jokes.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: A lot of scenes from the vigilante episode. Justified, since the entire episode was a story Jimmy and Cheech where telling when they were stoned.
• Crazy Is Cool: McCool, pretty much acts like your quintessential "can do basically anything and everything" badass, all wrapped up in a Canadian Mountie package.
• Critical Backlash: Web video critics (most notably MarsReviews and Saberspark) have compared it unfavorably to Family Guy, dismissing it as a knock-off. That being said, when their audience decided to check it out for themselves, many felt that it's not as bad as they made it out to be, even admitting that it has many funny moments and some clever gags, and there are those who think that the comparisons seemed more or less cosmetic, such as both shows being animated shock comedies and their focus on the patriarch of a nuclear family, with the youngest being an Enfant Terrible reminiscent of Stewie Griffin, despite the two having vastly different personalities from each other.
• Crosses the Line Twice:
  • Cheech nonchalantly saying that he masturbates in front of the neighbors among other comment he does.
  • Jimmy having fantasies of killing himself in gory ways = Disturbing. The fact he has a totally bored look on his face = hilarious.
• Designated Villain: In "Royal Canadian Groping Pariah", McCool is enraged at Jimmy for spreading the false rumour of him being a pervert who groped a teenage girl — his daughter Theresa — despite the fact that the whole idea was Cookie's and he just went along. In fact, the entire conflict started because Cookie overheard a conversation between Theresa and McCool and jumped to the conclusion that the two had a one-night stand. And yet, throughout the episode, Jimmy is treated as the only one who did wrong. Of course, when Jimmy confessed to McCool, he's more willing to take full responsibility rather than rat out his own wife
• Just Here for Godzilla: Some folks, mainly transgender individuals, check out the show solely for the episode "The Broadfather", which is well known for having a much more progressive depiction of transgender individuals compared to many more popular adult animated sitcoms.
• Les Yay: Cookie gets kissed by another woman in the episode "An Unmarried Bra Whisperer".
• Magnificent Bastard:
  • Carmine is a mischievous child who Gina Falcone befriends at Summer Camp, who is to revealed to be Carlo Gambini, son of deceased Mafia Don Gambini. Vengeful of his father's death, Carmine swore vengeance against Jimmy, until he forms a friendly rivalry with Gina, where he agrees to try and whack Cheech instead while Gina will try and stop him. Returning in the finale, Carmine gets one step ahead of Gina as well as McCool each time and manages to track down Cheech to a convention. Nearly successful in killing him, Carmine decides to spare Cheech and ends things off on good terms with Gina and manages to escape from McCool, getting away with everything.
  • Rick ChickMagnet is a corrupt FBI agent who charms the Falcone Family when McCool is recovering in the hospital. Paid by the Mafia to whack Jimmy and Cheech, Rick convinced them that he's going to relocate them to sunny California and takes Jimmy and Cheech towards the border so he can hand them over to the mob, only to be stopped by McCool. Stalking McCool, Jimmy and Cheech in a blizzard, Rick manages to use a decoy to get the jump on Jimmy and Cheech, nearly killing them both.
  • "Al Capone Wears Ladies' Underwear": The titular Al Capone is revealed to have faked his own death, paying a body double to take his place before cryogenically freezing himself so the law would be off his back. After being freed by Jimmy, Cheech and Gina, Al Capone immediately gets back to building his criminal organization while keeping his friendly disposition. Immediately willing to murder Jimmy when learning he was a rat, he managed to sneak into the psyche ward when Jimmy is placed for seemingly being insane. When Gina managed to convince Capone to spare Jimmy underneath a loophole, Capone immediately agrees and frees them all from the psyche ward, parting amicably with the Falcones before fleeing without detection to continue his criminal empire.
• Nausea Fuel: Tons, to the point where naming all the squick-ish moments would require a separate page. For example, McCool's stitches popping after a surgery in one episode.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • The last few minutes of the vigilante episode, Jimmy and Cheech try to break out prisoners they wrongfully put away, including Jimmy's new boss who says
    Not me Jimmy, I'm where I belong this are my people. (Morphs into a Big Red Devil) Thanks for bringing me here Jimmy, and now I will eat you alive.
  • In "The Horny Bastard", Jimmy is bored at work and annoyed at his boss' constant talking, we are given the sight of Jimmy's fantasies of killing himself in gory ways.
• The Scrappy: Cheech is treated as such in-universe, what with being The Load and his antics putting the family in trouble most of the time... well, more trouble than they were already in.
• So Bad, It's Good: Being a very blatant Follow the Leader to Family Guy doesn't stop Fugget About It from being a Guilty Pleasure for many, and the show at least seems to be aware of its failings and sometimes engages in Self-Deprecation. Plus, behind-the-scenes stuff from 9 Story Media Group shows the cast and crew did at least have fun working on the show.
• So Okay, It's Average: While the show does have a few fans (or is at least a Guilty Pleasure, depending on who you are), the general consensus is that it's a pretty middling series that, while occasionally amusing and having a few good ideas, was a little too similar to Family Guy for its own good. Compare this to Crash Canyon, Teletoon at Night's other Family Guy-inspired series, which was pretty much universally disliked by those who saw it and ultimately became the less successful of the two.
• They Copied It, So It Sucks!: Gets a lot of flak for its similarities to Family Guy, which it clearly took a lot of inspiration from. Gina in particular is noted by many to be something of a clone of Stewie Griffin.
• Unintentional Period Piece:
  • In "Al Capone Wears Ladies Underwear," Capone asks Jimmy, "Who's the colored kid talking [on the television]?" to which Jimmy answers that it's the President of the United States, heavily referencing Barack Obama, who was still in office at the time the episode aired (in 2012). He would eventually step down in 2017, a year after the show had ended.
  • Two episodes have featured prominent historical domain characters who were alive at the time; "Royally Screwed" involves an unexpected visit from Queen Elizabeth II, and "Havana Kill Castro" is about a plot to assassinate Fidel Castro so that the Falcones would be repatriated to the US as a reward. After their initial respective airings, Castro would die a year later, and the Queen 7 years later, both of natural causes.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Petey in "The Man from P.I.G.L.E.T.". While Jimmy is against Petey joining the force, we're supposed to feel bad for Petey because of it and his (Petey) desire and talent at investigating are commendable...until he starts making condescending remarks on how he figures the police force couldn't solve cold cases since their brains are small (alhough he is proven right given he solved around twenty of them in an afternoon by himself). But, the most unsympathetic parts comes from how he cruelly tells Bernie (a young punk that Jimmy was taking under his wing) that the only reason Jimmy cares about Bernie is just to get back at Petey. And even after seeing Bernie genuinely upset, all Petey does is give a smug smile. And, then his pursuit of Bernie with Jimmy after the former stole their stuff makes Petey lose more points given it was his hurtful remarks that led Bernie to do the act.
• Watched It for the Representation: "The Broadfather" gets a lot of praise from transgender viewers due to its a surprisingly positive representation of transgender people in the form of Jimmy's father Sally Moreno (formerly Sal Falcone). While there is a scene where Jimmy misgenders his father (despite having previously corrected himself when he did so earlier), the episode is overall very sympathetic to Sally. It avoids making jokes about her gender and shows many common and relatable struggles for trans people. The conflict in the story, rather than coming from any difficulty on the family's part to accept Sally, instead arises from Jimmy resenting his father for leaving him.
