Overlord (series)/YMMV

Alternate Character Interpretation: Is Gnarl just a loyal retainer to the Evil Overlord or is he actually The Man Behind the Man with the titular Overlord unwittingly playing The Dragon?
Awesome Music: The music in this series is quite epic and would not seem out of place in a more serious fantasy game.
Demonic Spiders: Flame. Thrower. Dwarves. Getting past even one is beyond difficult, and fighting more than one is a Luck-Based Mission.
Magnificent Bastard: This guy! Taking over the world by getting people to willing put your loyal servants in every household on the planet? Devious! Getting paid for it? Give this man a medal, he is truly a god amongst men!
Narm: Kahn, during his whole Get Back Here Boss routine, dragging out the fight with horrible dialog. He tried to do Punctuated! For! Emphasis!, but it wasn't really coming from his balls; rather it sounds like his diaphragm is where his adam's apple should be.
Needs More Love: A great series with witty dialogue and good gameplay, sadly lacks the popularity needed for the possibility of a third entry.
Refuge in Audacity: The first mission of the second game involves pitting your minions against seal-clubbing hunters because you need the life force of said baby seals while PETA-Expy hippie elves try to get both sides to stop.
Ugly Cute: The Minions. Rose and Velvet (who give them the charming nicknames of Cherubs and Pixies respectively) certainly think so.
- To hammer the point, the minions are a cross between E.T. and the cuter moments of Smeagol. They can look downright adorable, for example with the sequence in the tutorial of the second game where the minions disguises themselves as children, then they begin to sing...
Most Wonderful Sound: If you don't get a little happy every time one of your minions says "For Da Overlord!", "For Da Master!", or just plain "For you!", then you have no soul. (Which would normally be a good thing for an Evil Overlord, but not in this case.)
