The Cat in the Hat (film)/YMMV


 * Bile Fascination: The humor that wouldn't be out of place in an R-rated comedy would make you know why the Seuss Estate hated the film.
 * Can't Unhear It: Fans ironically like to think of Mike Myers when they read the Cat's lines.
 * Cult Classic: It has gained a following for early 2000s kids, Mike Myers fans and Dr. Seuss fans.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse:
 * Mr. Humberfloob is a scene-stealer for his "You're FIRRRRRRRRE-DUH" catchphrase.
 * Mrs. Kwan is another since she is one of the least annoying characters.
 * Fountain of Memes:
 * The Cat played by Mike Myers became one because of his frequent usage of innuendos in a kids' movie, notably the "dirty hoe" quote.
 * Mr. Humberfloob due to his energy and that his character became more relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: With the COVID-19 pandemic, many fans joked that the movie is set after the pandemic since Mr. Humberfloob washes his hands and cleanliness is a major part of the film.
 * Memetic Badass: The Cat is shown in tons of memes as using a baseball bat to beat up enemies.
 * So Bad It's Good: The Austin Powers-like style of humor mixed with Dr. Seuss' charm can make this badly fun.
 * Sophomore Slump: Unlike the How the Grinch Stole Christmas movie by Ron Howard, this second and last Dr. Seuss live-action film had a big dip in quality.
 * Take That, Scrappy!: Seeing the Cat getting hit by a boy's baseball bat at his crotch and getting outed by the kids is so satisfying to watch.
 * Took the Bad Film Seriously: Given that Mike Myers is a fan of the original book, we can feel bad that he was trying his best in a terrible Dr. Seuss movie.
 * Uncanny Valley:
 * Mike Myers with the Cat make-up is quite disturbing.
 * The Things don't look that good, either.
 * Vindicated by History: While still not considered a masterpiece, many agree that it had some great humor despite being a bad Dr. Seuss adaptation.
 * Visual Effects of Awesome: Say what you want about the film, but the cinematography and opening titles are that good.
 * Watch It for the Meme: Like Bee Movie, people just watch it for the various quotes and memes it came from.
 * WTH Casting: Mike Myers was an unsuitable choice for the Cat given that most of his humor is adult-oriented even though he voiced another kids' book icon Shrek two years before this film came out. Jim Carrey was well-cast for the Grinch but Mike Myers as the Cat in the Hat was a step backwards.
