YMMV / Spider's Web: A Pig's Tale

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Was Ja Rahr planning to take Walt to the slaughterhouse all along? Or was he genuinely trying to make Walt a star, with the slaughterhouse trip a desperate attempt to get some gain out of an effort that didn't pan out the way he had hoped?
• Anti-Climax Boss: Ja Rahr near the end. Following a single conventional wasp sting, he becomes incapacitated and his cohorts abruptly and unceremoniously desert him, rapidly destroying his scheme.
• Anvilicious: The end of the film has a speech about the importance of honesty, just in case the multitude of earlier scenes (and corresponding dialogue from Tiffany) decrying lying didn't make the intended aesop clear enough.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Two here: the first is when Walt and Ja Rahr turn the channel on a TV set, leading the TV to attack them and nearly consume Walt. No explanation is offered for the TV's animate abilities (a trait shared by almost no other appliances within the film) or the tenant's possession of the set.
  • Another happens when two woodlice, in retaliation for Walt and Ja Rahr purloining fuel from their gas station, pursue their car on motorcycle while shooting missiles at it. Even more bizarrely, this example is Lampshaded by Tiffany in-universe:
    Crystal: They're trying to kill us!
    Tiffany: Just because the snake stole some gas?
• Designated Hero: Walt. He lies constantly, can never seem to stay out of trouble, and will even abandon others at the sign of danger with nary second thought, but he's still presented as someone who we should want to see overcome his flaws and eventually, escape certain death.
• Fight Scene Failure: In-universe. Walt's auditioning for an action movie, when all of a sudden robots start attacking him and a prop explodes. It takes a second after the explosion for Walt to get launched.
• Memetic Molester: Multiple reviewers have pointed out that Ja Rahr comes off as uncomfortably similar to a child predator at times.
• Narm: So many examples to choose from:
  • Walt's Spoken Word in Music, most notably his "barnyard rap".
  • "AAAAAAUUGH! MY FOOOOT!"
  • This scene's in-universe Special Effects Failure.
  • Numerous lines of dialogue spoken by Gilbert, due to his overly-exaggerated and awkwardly-voiced pan-European accent:
  Gilbert: WASPS AHRE DIRTEH AHND SELFISH!
  AH WANT TO SEE VAHPERWUD BEFORE AH DAH!
  • The scream Ja Rahr elicits in response to Gilbert's climactic sting, owing to both its unnecessarily elongated duration and the unenthused delivery of Ja Rahr's voice actor.
• The Scrappy: Walt and Gilbert receive much flak for their annoying voices and the former's idiocy.
• So Bad, It's Good: The animation and disjointed, off-the-wall narrative being the main reasons.
