Bibleman/YMMV

Confirmation Bias: Part of the reason the show's survived for fifteen years is its' instant appeal to the parents of Christian children.
- Though there are Christians who don't care for the way it presents their beliefs.
  - And also a vocal Hate Dumb that seems to believe it's "brainwashing kids" into believing in blind faith and settling their differences with others through violent means.
Critical Research Failure: Probably deliberate, but in the episode A Fight for Faith the vile Wacky Protestor comes up with a plan to convert kids to Atheism. Which according to him is "The belief that there is no God, no hope, and no future."
Crowning Moment of Funny: Luxor's hysterical "unscripted" breakdown in Shattering The Prince of Pride. "We never win, Ludicrous! WE NEVER WIN!"
Don't Shoot the Message: As is typical for this sort of show, there are Christians who are opposed to the way it presents their beliefs and faith.
Ensemble Darkhorse: Luxor Spawndroth, Ludicrous, and LUCI are well liked even amongst some who don't like the show. Out of all Luxor's personas, El Furioso is most well remembered.
Evil Is Cool: A common thing pointed out by viewers - do the good guys get their own epic song and dance numbers?
Evil Is Hammy: All villains, but especially Luxor Spawndroth in his various guises.
Evil Is Sexy: Rapscalion P. Sinister, who only appeared in the A Fight for Faith live show, was actually good-looking and had a refined British accent, a far cry from the usually ugly villains Bibleman faces.
Expy: Jef Scott based his villain off of Jerry Lewis' performance in The Nutty Professor. Primordius Drool is Buddy Love, while the Wacky Protestor is Julius Kelp. To make the Shout Out blatant, "Protestor" is constantly pronounced in the way "professor" usually is.
Family-Unfriendly Aesop: In Lambasting the Legions of Laziness Josh repeatedly expresses a desire to become a singer and is shut down by his friends every time. Way to support your friends' dreams, Bibleteam.
- Wait, "Lambasting the Legions of Laziness?"
- An unintentional one through Unfortunate Implications came in Defeating The Shadow of Doubt, which seemed to suggest that one should not ever have doubts about anything because God always has plans and answers, even though having doubts is a key factor in learning truths. Perhaps this became something of an Old Shame, since when Luxor's previous identities are referenced in Breaking the Bonds of Disobedience, the Shadow of Doubt is not among them.
  - A similar case was averted in Shattering The Prince of Pride, in which at the end, Bibleman clarifies that it's okay to be proud of our achievements, just never prideful in our behavior.
- Also, Lead Us Not Into Temptation seem to imply several things that were just...wrong. Like "the internet is evil", "if your friends don't believe in what you believe in or do what you do, ditch them and don't hang out with them again", and "never fall under influences of anything, now go read your Bible and be influenced by it!"
Growing the Beard: Regardless of the actual quality, the series really started getting entertaining upon "Defeating The Shadow Of Doubt", where the Christian Series meets Barney and Friends format of "The Bibleman Show" was dropped and the series got revamped to be more of a real superhero spoof.
- Jumping the Shark: Willie Aames leaves the show. That is all.
Moral Event Horizon: Played for Laughs in Bibleman's crossover with The Visual Bible For Kids, in which he tells the Master of Misery that because he terrorized a student choir and their teacher (without even really doing anything), he'd "gone too far and become just like his master, The Devil"...simply because he sinned. Misery's response is an appropriate "you have got to be kidding me!"
Narm Charm: The entire concept of the show applies to this, really.
Replacement Scrappy: The Wacky Protestor. Luxor Spawndroth he ain't.
So Bad It's Good: Pretty much the whole point. The Christian messages are supposed to be taken seriously; the campy superhero stuff is not.
- Misaimed Fandom: Or Misaimed Hatedom, who believe that having Bibleman fight villains who represent things that Christians are against sends a bad message. Even though in most cases, Bibleman helping the victim of the day is the main point of the stories - the supervillains who embody the sins are there primarily to add more entertainment.
The Problem with Licensed Games: A PC game based on the Fight For Faith episode was made, but let's just say it was easy to tell it was the company's first game. The announced console versions never appeared and Covenant Studios appears to have gone under after releasing that game and that game only.
Unfortunate Implications: In The Incredible Force of Joy we have Bibleman covertly monitoring and obtaining biological samples from a troubled child without his knowledge. Worse, Conquering the Wrath of Rage has Bibleman and sidekick Cypher squatting in some bushes, watching a group of preteen boys...
- And, of course, the whole anti-Semitic vibes some viewers get from Wacky Protesteo, who is based on a stereotypically Jewish performance by Jerry Lewis.
  - Or simply that a villain on a show where the villains embody sinful behaviors is called the Protestor, which some viewers take to mean having free speech and speaking out against the status quo will get you on God's bad side.
- The Family-Unfriendly Aesop examples mentioned above also qualify, as can the Values Dissonance mentioned below.
Values Dissonance: Both Bibleman's team and his nemeses' have robots--fully sentient A Is--to help them out. The problem is that UNICE (Universal Networking Intelligence Computing Entity) happily spreads the word of the Lord while LUCI (Link to Underhanded Computer Influences) is quite against it. Now, when only humans are involved this is no problem, but LUCI quite understandably isn't terribly happy about following God's will because robots don't have souls! So whenever they face off UNICE, chipper as can be, tries to convince LUCI that it is a worthless pile of scrap with no higher purpose in life than to teach humans to accept Christ into their lives, and that its' dreams of living independently of humans are evil.
Villain Decay: After having a two-part episode with a villain who came dangerously close to actually beating Bibleman, our heroes spent the next three episodes (and two live shows) having to contend with the Wacky Protestor, a blue-skinned uber dork fond of Jerry Lewis impersonations and who's more a threat to himself with that lightsaber than any costumed do-gooder he might meet.
- To make the Villain Decay clearer, the Protestor IS the same villain, Primordius Drool, who came so close to defeating the heroes (says Biblegirl in the Wacky Protestor's first appearance: "But I thought we got rid of him when he was Primordius!") Satan apparently downgraded him to a lesser form (his original form?) after his defeat in the two-parter.
