Spider-Man (1967 TV series)/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Crowning Music of Awesome: Most of the incidental jazz-funk tracks of the show were licensed from the KPM catalog, resulting in a very catchy soundtrack.
  • Ear Worm: The famous theme song.
  • Fountain of Memes: This show is very popular on memetic sites.
  • Snark Bait: It's very hard to watch without laughing at.
  • Values Dissonance: The show had other racial caricatures that, by today's standards, are incredibly racist.
    • Sexist, too - women are usually either seen in subservient domestic positions or featured as crazed villains. Then again, Peter and Betty do seem to have a largely platonic working relationship.
  • What Do You Mean It's for Kids?: The show was meant for a young audience, but a few times, death was actually mentioned, and someone actually was allowed to spout the word "Hell" at least once.
  • What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?: With the second season's vast dependence on stock footage taken from a completely different science fiction cartoon, the plots became very strange, involving mole men, aliens trying to escape the Earth, and NYC's skyline constantly depicted as being filled with menacing purple clouds.
