YMMV / Pooh's Adventures

Go To

  • Archive Panic: There are hundreds of videos, mostly taken down due to copyright infringement, Troubled Production problems and even more scripts, posters, down to just lengthy wishlists of casts with brief summaries at best.
  • Ass Pull: Whatever the writer happened to be thinking of at the time regularly gets thrown in without any lead-up, and frequently disappears just as suddenly.
  • Bile Fascination: Its ironic fanbase can be attributed to the curiosity of the mere concept.
  • Canon Defilement: Some adventures will have some antagonists still serving for the villains when in canon have already pulled their Heel–Face Turn before or even after the fact.
  • Creator's Pet: Brian Griffin and really all Family Guy characters are this to Hiatt Grey. For the broader community, aside from the namesake character, the casts of Thomas & Friends, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and Pokémon come close as being its most popular subjects.
  • Crosses the Line Twice:
  • Crack Pairing: Quite a few exist, Thomas the Tank Engine and Twilight Sparkle being the most prominent.
  • Designated Hero: Hiatt Grey and Stuington's works can have these.
    • Characters like Peter Griffin and Glenn Quagmire are part of the heroes despite what they're known for in their show.
    • Sometimes the heroes may do morally ambiguous things, even murder. One such example has a scene where Twilight Sparkle murders a disarmed and surrendering Trixie and Sunset Shimmer instead of actually accepting them, which is closer to a war crime than to a heroic act.
    • This scene among a compilation has the Skarloey engines open fire on Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon with machine guns, rifles and a rocket launcher. Bullies or not, harming or threatening a child is hardly heroic.
  • Designated Villain: Any antagonists that aren't as villainous or evil in their respective series will be immediately paired with the more nastier villains. For example, the Team Rocket Trio, Shenzi, Banzai, Ed, and Cecil and Arthur working for the Nazi Party.
  • Draco in Leather Pants: Villains sometimes get this treatment in Adventures stories. For example, in the ''Cherry's Adventures'' series, Forte ends up falling in love with the titular Perky Goth, after surviving his canon death and living on into the 21st century due to being a vampire in this continuity.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse:
    • For some reason, Darla Dimple is very popular in Cherry's Adventures created by PerkyGoth14 and many reviews are about how fans want her involved in more stories and she is usually given a lot of sympathy, possibly due to her backstory and adoption by Atticus's family.
    • Brian Griffin went from a generic background character that was there simply to fill up a team, to leading his own squad in a matter of months. He's even started to appear in other works.
  • First Installment Wins: The crossovers that are unfortunately lost created by TonyWDA (who has no connection with the Pooh's Adventures League) were well done and the clips used were relevant to the scenarios.
  • Fridge Logic: All over the place. Like how the trains are able to move around freely without railways, or how and why they use weapons sized for humans, or how they fit on boats or in buildings. Or how a character can have so many cousins that span across dimensions. Or why most cast members just stand around waiting for events to transpire rather than acting.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: These crossovers aren't the only ones Tom and Jerry have been (admittedly poorly) spliced into: in 2010, an official crossover between Tom and Jerry and Sherlock Holmes was released and was noted as startlingly similar to Pooh's Adventures. They later tried this shtick twice with The Wizard of Oz and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory in 2011 and 2017, respectively.
  • Older Than They Think:
    • Pooh and Tigger appeared in 1990's Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue, an official crossover with a dozen other cartoon characters from different companies.
    • 4Kids Entertainment produced a TV special called The Fight for the FoxBox by splicing footage from their animated shows together back in 2003. However they had more resources and their voice actors to work with so it had more cohesion.
  • Padding: What many of the added clips and reactions amounted to. Which can turn a 22-minute episode of a show to almost an hour long, or turn a ninety minute movie into two and a half hours or more.
  • So Bad, It's Good: On one hand, the editing is middling at best and tacky at worst, and the added characters contribute next to nothing to the plots. On the other hand, it can come off as hilarious for those exact reasons. Fortunately, certain attempts such as BennytheBeast's contributions are worth noting since there had been a lot of effort put into his videos, which actually shows.
  • Special Effect Failure: Granted, these videos were made with Windows Movie Maker, so they may look unprofessional. However it is still ridiculous to have characters suddenly muted, then to slap some text on the bottom to make it look like they're having a conversation. Or to have an image of a firearm poorly spliced onto a train.
  • Stock Footage Failure: Media with wildly different art styles are erratically spliced together, with not much in the way of making the characters look like they're actually part of the same story.
  • Squick: Often shows up, from Thomas the Tank Engine and Twilight Sparkle being in love to young girls getting exaggerated breasts. So bad, that there are parts of the community are leaving in favor of other stuff they would be interested at.
  • Unintentionally Sympathetic: In the newer transcripts of the "Ash's Adventures" series, whenever a character does something wrong, they are berated at length by Ash and the guest characters. Ash himself also likes to use intimidation and violence to hurt whoever makes him angry. Because of this, it's easy to sympathize more towards the character being lectured, even if they were antagonistic previously.
  • What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?:
    • It can be jarring to see the likes of Winnie the Pooh in an adult work that is supposedly toned down for kids. Especially in Hiatt Grey's works.
    • Some scenes for Pooh's Adventures of Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School includes scenes like Meg flashing her breasts, and wanking despite sanitizing other more adult elements.
    • Pooh's Adventures of Rock and Rule censors the swearing and some of the blood. But all the drugs and nearly all, if not all of the sexual content are left in.
    • It isn't rare to see crossovers with certain more mature works ranging from mildly inappropriate such as The Simpsons and the aformentioned Rock & Rule, to very inappropriate such as Family Guy, South Park, Team Fortress 2 and as of late (among the younger and newer fanbase), Friday Night Funkin'.
