YMMV / Yo Gabba Gabba!

Go To

  • Fridge Brilliance: Perhaps the reason Plex is the only puppet character who doesn't seem like a kid is because he's a robot and thus doesn't have any developing to do.
  • Funny Moments: Has its own page.
  • Memetic Mutation: Several, including Nathaniel (who likes to dance) and "Party In My Tummy".
  • Moment of Awesome: A video shown at DJ Lance Rock's solo concert appearances reveals just how he became the protector of Gabbaland... in the style of a 70's tokusatsu show.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Plex manages to "die" three times. He gets hit by a snowball, runs out of battery power, and gets knocked over by Brobee. While he is a robot, it could distress younger fans. Luckily, he comes back every time.
  • Squick: In one episode, a girl's "cool trick" was playing a recorder with her nose. It's not really worse than playing it with your mouth when you think about it, but it's still weird.
  • Periphery Demographic: Come for the indie rock band cameos, stay for the surrealism! They're even marketing specifically to the periphery demographic, too. There are shoes, t-shirts and even designer toys intended solely for adults.
  • Quirky Work: When Time TV critic James Poniewozik reviewed the show, he stated that it would "convince you that someone slipped something into your Fruity Pebbles."note  However, co-creator Christan Jacobs is a conservative Mormon, and drugs are, quite literally, against his religion.
  • Suspiciously Similar Song: During "Bugs", the Gabbas' song "Follow The Oskie Bugs" has a melody and rhythm which are vastly similar to Bruno Mars' hit song "Treasure".
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: The shortening of the theme song in the fourth season sorta sparked this review from fans.
  • Toy Ship: Yes, people ship them. The most common are Muffa, Broffa, Plexance, and Brobee/Kai-Lan.
  • Ugly Cute: Muno & Brobee.
  • Unfortunate Character Design: It has been noted among several viewers that Muno looks a lot like a giant dildo.
