Lobo (web series)/YMMV

These things about  are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.


 * Accidental Innuendo: "Wait 'til you hear what Sunny Jim asked me to swallow."
 * Awesome Music: The background rock music is great to listen to.
 * Crosses the Line Twice: All of the graphic gore and raunchy jokes are humorously exaggerated.
 * Cult Classic: Since it is the only early 2000s DC cartoon geared towards an adult audience, it is starting to go towards this.
 * Dude, Not Funny: Seeing the Ten Commandments covered in snake vomit could be offensive to religious people.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Sunny Jim due to his unique design.
 * Fan Dumb: Those who only knew Lobo from Superman: The Animated Series thought that in this cartoon he was exaggerated into Darker and Edgier territory when in actuality he's far more true to his comic book incarnation.
 * Friendly Fandoms: It has one with the Harley Quinn cartoon and The Suicide Squad due to the similar adult-oriented tone and shock humor.
 * Launcher of a Thousand Ships: Lobo has been in tons of shipping with other fictional females.
 * Memetic Mutation:
 * Lobo yelling "This is crap" has been used for low-quality works.
 * Lobo saying "frag" has been used in videos where "fuck" was used, including clips of Kevin Michael Richardson.
 * Darlene's swearing has been used on videos of Frankie Foster and Azula.
 * Memetic Badass: Lobo can be memetically exaggerated.
 * Most Wonderful Sound: Lobo's rock motifs are hardcore.
 * Narm Charm: Many compared the animation to Hotel Mario, but this time there is more effort.
 * Nausea Fuel: The graphic violence can be a little hard to watch.
 * Rated "M" for Money: This is DC's first attempt at adult animation.
 * Seinfeld Is Unfunny:
 * While it is the very first adult-oriented DC cartoon, more successful attempts have made it not get first credit.
 * While the audio quality and animation were revolutionary at the time, they are now seen as lackluster.
 * Signature Scene: All of "Lobo for President".
 * Special Effects Failure: Many agree that the animation is bad.
 * So Okay It's Average: While it is close to the comics, the animation felt lacking.
 * They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Some comic book fans didn't like how Darlene was changed from a heroic redheaded humanoid to a lippy blonde human.
 * Tough Act to Follow:
 * While Lobo isn't voiced by Brad Garrett, Greg Eagles and Kevin Michael Richardson did a pretty good job voicing Lobo.
 * Dee Bradley Baker did a great job voicing Sunny Jim, but Tom Kenny who replaced Baker did a decent job.
 * Uncanny Valley: The stiff animation makes some of the characters look unintentionally spooky.
 * Values Dissonance: Averted. The reason why it got retooled from a Kids' WB show into an adult-oriented web series is because having an adult-oriented character like Lobo be the lead of a show would make it problematic for a family-friendly show.
 * Values Resonance:
 * Sunny Jim is a realistic portrayal of an incel.
 * Darlene rightfully dumps Lobo knowing he wants casual sex with her.
 * Slaz and Major Snake are positive examples of gay men despite being killed off.
 * In "Arms and the Main Man", there is a third restroom for non-binary aliens.
 * "Lobo for President" holds up as a thought-out satire for unsuitable politicians.
 * Vindicated by History: The success of the Guardians of the Galaxy films (set in space with Aliens Speaking English) and the Deadpool films (also featuring a hilarious adult-oriented anti-hero) has made people think of the cartoon as ahead of its time. DC's success with The Suicide Squad and the Harley Quinn cartoon made it even more vindicated.
 * What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?: While it is based on a DC character, like the comics, it is filled with strong language, sexual content and graphic violence. It doesn't help that the voice actors and the writer are known for more family-friendly cartoons.
