YMMV / Super Duper Sumos

Go To

  • Adaptation Displacement: A handful of people in the gaming community are entirely unaware this was actually a show.
  • Audience-Alienating Premise: A show about sumo wrestlers fighting with their giant butts proved to be a bit too strange, even for a demographic that typically enjoys Toilet Humor. As such, the show only received one season.
  • Fetish Retardant: The sumos. They usually wear nothing except for their mawashis and they slam their butts together Once an Episode.
  • No Yay: Booma often seems to be hitting on Prima. Not only is he in his late teens at the least and Prima is around ten, but they're said to be cousins.
  • So Bad, It's Good: A sizable community likes this show just because of how laughably bad it is.
  • The Problem with Licensed Games: Often considered to be a fairly lackluster Game Boy Advance title... but its cover attracts even more criticism. It is often called one of the worst game box-arts of all time for how unappealing it is: it's a shot of the Sumos slamming their butts together, with a green blast of light coming out from between them.
  • Quirky Work: Come on, it's about three sumos who fight Kaiju with their butts.
  • What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: The fact that a show about three nearly-nude adult men fighting crime with their butts was made for kids and aired on Nickelodeon in the United States surprises many people.
