YMMV / Lovejoy

Go To

The comedy-drama series

  • Retroactive Recognition:
  • Values Dissonance: Some of Lovejoy's flirting registers as more creepy than charming when viewed today, such as this exchange (from Season 2's "Bin Diving") when Lovejoy wakes up on Jane's couch and asks if they had sex:
    Jane: No we did not! You were out cold.
    Lovejoy: Are you sure?
    Jane: I think I'd be the first to know about it, don't you?
    Lovejoy: Not necessarily.

The band

  • Covered Up: Based on viewership statistics, their (god-approved) cover of Los Campesinos!' "Knee Deep at ATP" is vastly more popular than the original.
  • Epic Riff: Starts with one on "Taunt".
  • Fandom VIP: Being the first subscriber to both Lovejoy and Ash Kabosu's YouTube channels, joining the band for their writing sessions, stopping "Perfume" from being cut from the Pebble Brain EP, being the announcer for Lovejoy if/when they go on tour, outright playing and practising with the band... it's no wonder TommyInnit is considered the #1 Lovejoy stan, if not a Promoted Fanboy.
  • First Installment Wins: A substantial part of the fanbase considers Are You Alright? better than Pebble Brain due to, among other things, the latter's muted vocals.
