YMMV / Rex the Runt

• Cult Classic: The show was a ratings flop throughout its run, but its self-aware, non-sequitur brand of humour helped earn it a decent online following.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff - Played for laughs in one episode where Vince is revealed to be very popular in Japan, and that his sudden presence even stops a Godzilla-type monster and a giant robot fighting and excitedly asks for his autograph.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Virtually all of Johnny Saveloy's Undoing becomes this once you start to see the similarities between Saveloy and disgraced British television personality Jimmy Savile. Even their names are similar. The episode was already much darker than the rest of the series but that just takes things to a whole new level of disturbing.
  • A moment from this episode that stands out is when Vince discovers a room full of jars containing gas that makes you sound like a celebrity when inhaled. Vince then inhales several and does impressions of various celebrities. One of the jars he inhales and does an impression of is labelled "Jimmy Savile" . Funny celebrity impersonation in 1998, very uncomfortable moment from 2012-onwards.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In "Holidays in Vince", the gang travels inside Vince's mind to tweak its contents. They find another Vince in there and enter his mind, where they do what they came to do and pop back out, soon realizing that they're still inside the mind of the real Vince. In short... VINCEPTION.
• Nausea Fuel: Bad Bob searching through the garbage for Rex, who's been turned into spaghetti, in "Carbonara." At one point, the garbage man Arthur Dustcart finds some actual spaghetti, decides it's still fresh enough and apparently eats it, causing Bad Bob to freak out, as if he ate Rex.
• Tear Jerker: It's hard not to feel sorry for Vince in the episode "Bob Joins a Gang".
