YMMV / Spliced

• Awesome Music: The theme song is extremely catchy, explains the show's premise perfectly, and captures the series' zany spirit fairly well.
• Cult Classic: While it never gained any mainstream attention during its brief time on air or afterwards, Spliced managed to gain a small but loyal following that absolutely loves its deranged brand of comedy and considers it to be an incredibly underrated cartoon.
• Friendly Fandoms: With Jimmy Two-Shoes, due to both being Teletoon series from the late 2000s that share similarly wacky tones and directions.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Because it's not Screwed by the Network in those areas, it's quite popular in Latin America and Australia. The former especially, thanks to its extremely well-received Mexican dub, as described under Superlative Dubbing below.
• Ho Yay:
  • In the episode "Poosh and the Quest for the Blargy Parble", Entree kisses Mister Smarty Smarts after "losing" a bet with Peri in a game of Bucket-Stick Fruitball. The dude uses his tongue.
  • Mister Smarty Smarts also kissed Peri in "Outsmartered" and pursues him for partnership in "Come to the Dork Side", complete with face caressing. He seems to actually like Peri and wishes he would just notice him already. Or that he could be forced to be more compatible.
    Smarty Smarts: (desperate) "But-but-but...we were going to be a team! I even made t-shirts!"
    Octocat: "Meow."
    Smarty Smarts: (mournful) "I know, the shirts were too much; they freaked him out...to think, Peri could have had all this..!"
  • Joe also agreed to marry some aardvark guy when he got arms.
  • "Same Difference" was very fluffy for Mr. Smarty and Joe. And at the end, they still sit in their special place and have a picnic. Aww...
  • "One Joe Wingus" played very sweetly for Wingus and Joe. Wingus chooses Joe over his own people twice, and the both of them bond immensely throughout the storyline.
  • Apparently Joe thinks Peri is deliciously cute, enough to gush over him and lick him throughout an episode because he tastes like "a hug from a snowman". Peri does not mind at all.
• Jerkass Woobie: Mister Smarty Smarts and Entree.
• Nausea Fuel: Being a Gross-Out Show, much of the this is to be expected. Special mention goes to the Super Lick Challenge, and the episodes "Stomach on Strike" and "Bite, Shuffle and Moan".
  • Two-Legs Joe can be this when he gets a bit too ticked off.
• Quirky Work: This series is more than a little weird, to say the least.
• Retroactive Recognition: Storyboard artist Cal Brunker would later go on to direct Escape from Planet Earth, The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature and PAW Patrol: The Movie.
• Superlative Dubbing: One of the reasons for its popularity in Latin America was due to its surprisingly good dub, which was done in Mexico, something rare for a short-lived Canadian cartoon. Apart from having well-known voice actors such as Alfonso Obregón Inclán and José Luis Orozco (voicing Peri and Two-Legs Joe, respectively), it managed to perfectly adapt many situations, names, and jokes, along with the actors' performances adding to the overall comedy.
• Spiritual Adaptation: This series is probably the closest thing we'll likely ever get to a Crash Bandicoot animated series; from the island setting, emphasis on slapstick, mutated animals, and science-fiction overtones. It's hard not to see why.
• Tear Jerker:
  • "Compu-Peri" has Peri trying to remove all of his emotions and become a half-computer like Compu-Horse after his new pet bat-puppy (or buppy) Pistachio seemingly abandons him during a game of fetch. When Peri eventually comes to terms that Pistachio may never return, Compu-Horse tries to comfort him by claiming that Pistachio is likely off making someone else very happy. Unfortunately, it's revealed immediately after that Pistachio was actually eaten by the Wunny Sharbit.
  • "My Fair Sharkbunny" has Peri befriending the Wunny Sharbit after putting a translator collar on him and offers to help make him a part of society. Sadly, all their hard work is undone by an inconveniently-timed festival where mutants make themselves look delicious, causing Wunny to revert back to his old self and accepts that things between them will never change. Despite this, Peri still believes deep down there's a part of Wunny that desires friendship.
  Wunny: Look, nothing personal, but you’re a tasty mutant, and I'm a tasty mutant eater. It just wasn’t meant to be, you know? (destroys the translator and runs off into the jungle)
  Peri: Bye. (sobbing) Somewhere inside that killing machine, there's a little heart beating, a heart beating for friendship. (a Sickening "Crunch!" is heard from Wunny eating a passing mutant offscreen) But I’m not gonna look for it today! (runs away)
• Theme Pairing: Peri and Patricia have somewhat of a following as a ship in the fandom, likely due to this trope. They are among the most levelheaded and relatable characters in the cast, with Peri regularly fulfilling the role of the Only Sane Man whenever Patricia is not around to do so, and they are also some of the more normal-looking ones — Patricia by virtue of being a platypus (an actual, if weird, animal), and Peri because he's a cute, furry spliced mutant with small cat-like ears and small tentacles as feet. It probably helps that the series found more than a few excuses for the two to hang out with each other (due to shared interests) and Patricia admitted to finding Peri cute at least once.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: There are plenty of other mutants on the island but they were never anything more than background characters.
  • We learn nothing about the Doctor or his relationship with the mutants.
• Too Good to Last: Although it did very well on Teletoon during its time on air and is looked back at with fondness by many, the series was ultimately canned before it even got a second season because, in the words of the creators, "it wasn't in the cards at that time[...] events conspired against the show".
• Ugly Cute: Peri and Entree. Even though they're freaky-looking Mix-and-Match Critters, they do actually look kinda cuddly.
• Unpopular Popular Character: Entree is disliked by pretty much everyone on Keepaway Island who isn't named Peri due to his jerkass personality, but he's quite well-liked by fans of the show, who consider him the funniest character for his one-liners, Comedic Sociopathy, and frequent karmic slapstick.
• The Woobie: Fuzzy Snuggums. He's very cute and innocent, but the series loves putting him through multiple kinds of hell just for laughs.
