SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Non Sequitur Scene|Big Lipped Alligator Villain]]: Chopshop. In a world populated by nothing but anthropomorphic felines, Chopshop is a... [[The Hyena|laughing hyena]]? In true BLAM fashion, he shows up for about five minutes at the start of the episode "Swat Kats Unplugged" until he's captured, and is never heard from or spoken of again in the run of the series.

** Just because T-Bone ''called'' him "a laughin' hyena" doesn't make it true. It's doubtful the writers would introduce a non-cat that wasn't an alien so late in the series, ''and'' have him be a nothing villain like Chopshop.

* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: It cannot be stressed enough how awesome the music was. Almost on par with Edmondson's work in ''[[Firefly]]''. To this day, you'll probably find a split between which of the show's two opening themes is considered the better one (despite both themes being, as noted, ''awesome'').

* [[Fan Yay]]—and, because of the show's large [[Fanfic]] base, [[Rule 34]].

* [[The Firefly Effect]]: An extremely rare case of ''inversion'' of this trope. The effect usually takes hold in three stages: the show suffers from [[Executive Meddling]], which results in low ratings, which results in getting [[Screwed by the Network]]. ''SWAT Kats''--'''in spite''' of the meddling—went on to get ''high'' ratings, then got screwed mostly because of Ted Turner's [[Idiot Ball]].

* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: The SWAT Kats flying the Turbokat into a building to save Callie. Doesn't help that said building immediately after ''explodes''.
