The Cat in the Hat/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Nightmare Fuel: "There is a third option. It involves... murder."
  • Ear Worm: Cat, hat; In French, chat, chapeau! In Spanish, el gato in a sombrero!
  • Epileptic Trees: Some people have tried to ascribe Freudian motivations to everything that happens in the story.
    • And here it is--"Freud on Seuss"
    • In the first book, we see Mom's bed. It's a single bed. In the second book, we see Dad's bed. It's a double bed. Hmm..
  • Guilty Pleasure: Considered by most to be an awful movie, although it does have some hilarious moments (alot of them due to Mike Myers who, bless his soul, is doing the best with what he's given) so that watching it can cause some joy, even if you do hate the movie as a whole.
  • Memetic Mutation: In the YouTube Poops that have been made out of this, Krinklebine's "Outrageous!" is often repeated for humorous effect.
  • What Do You Mean It's for Kids?: The Live Action film definitely qualifies: Despite it being based on a book meant for kids, the movie dealt with a lot of extremely crass humor and rather dirty things that should not be exposed to kids, to the extent that its almost as though the movie is actually missing a crap detection radar.
