YMMV / Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks

• Awesome Music: The theme song.
• Fridge Horror: It's already a bit jarring to see anthropomorphic farm animals living with regular farm animals at Raloo Farm but it becomes more disturbing when you take into account that both Raloo Farm's cow and Ferny (a bull) are both cattle, both of which can become horrifying out of context.
• Nightmare Retardant: The cabbage monsters in "The Creepy Cabbages of County Galway" from the dream sequence in that episode are meant to be scary, but due to the CGI of the mid-2000s, come across as over-the-top and ridiculous as compared to other examples of sentient, sapient plants that are meant to be scary. They were there to deliver the moral about being too young for things and not listening to parents can create nightmares, but didn't quite get the reaction the writers intended. The YouTube comments about this seem to confirm this view.
• Tear Jerker: It's confirmed in the episode, 'Waking Thor', that Ferny is motherless and Don Toro is a widower. In the episode, after Ferny's pet goldfish dies, causing him to become depressed, Don Toro explains to him that it isn't healthy to forget those we have loved and lost. There is a notable subtle drop in volume as he says "Some things we should never forget" (paraphrased) while looking at a portrait of Ferny's mom resting a hand on her face tenderly while looking solemn at the same time. Many characters in the show refer to and see Don Toro as a Gentle Giant, and this scene further emphasizes this quality.
  • The topic of Don Toro and Ferny discussing death is even more depressing given that both the voice actors for Don Toro (Fernando Escandon) and Ferny (Russi Taylor) both have passed away in 2017 and 2019 respectively.
• The Woobie: Ferny is unfailingly sweet and gentle; his loyalty to Piggley is practically a fault, since Piggley isn't always loyal in return. And his mother also died, when he was young.
