Only Fools and Horses/YMMV


 * Big Lipped Alligator Moment: Rodney's nightmare at the beginning of the first chapter of the 1996 Christmas trilogy, "Heroes and Villians", in which a grown-up Damien not only runs Trotters Independent Traders, but also rules the western world in the year 2026, declaring war on other countries. While Del Boy, Lord of Peckham, and Raquel live a luxurious life in Trotter Towers, Rodney himself is reduced to being an old messenger, Cassandra is a maid after Damien took over her bank and fired her, and Uncle Albert's body has been preserved, repeating his trademark phrase on a constant loop. As Rodney berates Damien for ruining everything, Del wakes him up.
 * It pretty much culminates the long Running Gag that Rodney is convinced that Damien is destined to be some kind of Anti-Christ, as the "Son of Del". Everytime he sees Damien "O Fortuna" plays.
 * Complete Monster: Arguably, both Reg Trotter (Del Boy's dad, but not Rodney's) and Roy Slater (although Slater at least has an excuse in that he was bullied by Del and his friends while they were at school).
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: Many, of course, but there are two which can almost be considered 'canonical' in that they regularly top any survey for the best British comedy moment of all time. The first being the Falling Chandelier of Doom mentioned on the main page, and the second being a scene where Del tries to impress women at a bar by being suave and ends up leaning back on a swinging-out part of the bar that is no longer there.
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Despite Del's usual mocking of Rodney and occasional exploitation of him, he does often show himself willing to put his own neck out for his sake. The most notable occasion is where, given the choice to use some recently acquired money to keep his promise to help an engaged Rodney put together a deposit on a flat, and paying off his debt to the local gangsters, Del chooses the former (and takes a beating for it).
 * After Del's brief attempt at managing a band that Rodney was a member of goes horribly wrong, Rodney yells abuse at Del for several straight minutes... then reveals that he's just quit the band, because they were saying even worse things about Del, and no matter what Rodney personally thinks of him, he wasn't prepared to have anyone else talk crap about Del..
 * After Del refuses to let Uncle Albert move in, Del and Rodney happen to meet up with him at the Nag's Head. Del unbends slightly and invites him for a curry. Rodney says they'll never get a table at this time of night, and Del says "You're right. We'll have to get a takeaway ... and eat it at home."
 * Fanon Discontinuity: Although the standard of humour is held up quite well, many fans nonetheless choose to ignore the post-1996 specials as they spoil the Trotters' happy ending for the sake of drama.
 * Despite this, the very last episode "Sleepless in Peckham" is considered quite touching, especially when Rodney and Cassandra finally have their daughter, Joan Trotter Jr.
 * Funny Aneurysm Moment: The ending of "The Sky's the Limit", where an aircraft is heading for Trotter Towers.
 * In the 1983 Christmas special "Thicker Than Water", Reg Trotter returns, and comes close to convincing his sons that he isn't really Del's father. Much later, the 1987 and 2003 Christmas specials "The Frog's Legacy" and "Sleepless in Peckham" would suggest that Rodney wasn't Reg's son (although "Thicker Than Water" already had a pretty strong implication of that itself).
 * Hilarity Ensues
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: In "It Never Rains...", Grandad mentions a friend called Nobby Clarke. Kenneth MacDonald, who played Mike from "Who's a Pretty Boy?" to "Time On Our Hands", played a character by that name in It Ain't Half Hot Mum.
 * In the 1992 Christmas special "Mother Nature's Son", the Trotters attempt to pass off tap water as "Peckham Spring Water" -- it glows in the dark due to dangerous contaminants. Coca-Cola would proceed to do this when it launched Dasani in the UK. That and the discovery of carcinogens led the product being pulled.
 * When Dasani was found to be just filtered mains water, it got nicknamed "Sidcup Spring" after this episode and the location of the Dasani bottling plant.
 * Narm Charm: Cassandra.
 * Tear Jerker: "Diamonds Are For Heather", the first depiction of Del's pining for a family. After taking to a young mother (whose husband had abandoned her) and growing attached to her son, he proposes to her, only to be turned down, her husband having returned asking for a second chance. It would be a long while before Del finally got to be a family man.
