YMMV / Robot Chicken The Walking Dead Special Look Whos Walking

• Harsher in Hindsight: The framing device being focused on a 60 year old Carl re-telling the events of the outbreak, apparently being the only survivor of the original group, all while behaving like a Grumpy Old Man, suddenly becomes far less amusing come mid-Season 8, where Carl is bitten and kills himself.
• Heartwarming Moments: While the "Happy Glenn-dings" segment is mostly played for laughs, Maggie actually seems to be taking it pretty well, even admitting that she is just happy to have him back. Her last words in the segment are telling Glenn she loves him.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: On the other hand, this special ended up telling us most of the ending of the comic book, which ended in July 2019. Society did get to rebuild itself, Rick was memorialized as a hero, Carl did become a grown man who retold the events of the apocalypse to the next generation (especially to his daughter Andrea Grimes Jr.), and walkers do end up being kept as sideshow attractions (albeit in the comics by a grown Hershel Rhee, and walkers are mentioned to still be a threat in some small, uncivilized portions of America). Given that Robert Kirkman himself had a strong hand in helping develop the special, in hindsight he was telling us how the story ended two years before it did!
