Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law/YMMV

• Crazy Awesome: Mentok.
• Crowning Moment of Awesome: You know how we call that? MIND TAKING! Accept no substitutes!
  • Harvey actually being effective as a superhero in the last episode.
• Crowning Moment of Funny: When Reducto has one of the members of Shoyu Weenie on the stand, she answers his question in a slow, breathy voice in Japanese. Pretty much every man in the courtroom turns to her with a shocked and/or aroused look on their faces and dropped jaws, including a guy carving a wood statue with a chainsaw and a clown making a balloon animal. It helps that the translation of what she was saying is roughly "My name is Seiko, I like that song, it's a pretty song."
• Crowning Music of Awesome: Whoooooo... is the man in the suuuuuit?
  • So awesome that it spawned a television show. Supposedly the only reason the show exists is because the creator improvised the theme song at some Williams Street party as a joke. They really liked it.
  • Also the musical interlude in "Blackwatch Plaid."
• Ensemble Darkhorse: The Bear and Black Vulcan, especially the latter with the advent of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020.
• Fan-Preferred Couple: Black Vulcan and Harvey to some. What's more is that Black Vulcan apparently already has a girlfriend, as shown in "Booty Noir." The common explanation is that BV dates Harvey whenever Norlisa is too stupid to realize her fella is a great partner.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Black Vulcan's rant in "Very Personal Injury" becomes all too relevant nowadays with the public's attention to racial injustice following the death of George Floyd.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • In "Guitar Control", which aired around election season 2004, Phil runs for President of the United States. His voice actor, Stephen Colbert, would go on to do the same by the time the next election rolled around.
  • In the episode "Peanut Puberty," Black Vulcan says "I felt something... happening." 16 years later...
• Memetic Mutation: Ha ha! ...Double Entendre.
  • EVERYONE GET IN HERE.
  • Did ya get that thing I sent ya?
  • "...In my pants."
    • "That's Supervolt!"
• Serial Numbers Filed Off: The game based on it is very much like Ace Attorney. Then again, they were both made by Capcom, so it makes sense. Kind of.
• Squick: Phil Ken Sebben lusting after Birdgirl. He is repeatedly told the truth but doesn't believe it. Near the end of the episode where he and Birdgirl are to be married he looks out over the crowd and decides "...there... might... have... been... someone... else... (he)... was... meant... to... be... with". Birdgirl's aunt Phyllis, Phil's sister!
  • Not to mention how Aunt Phyllis looks just like Phil with a blonde wig and very large boobs in a dress. Yes, the eyepatch and mustache too.
    • Boobs that wobble audibly.
  • When he finally does understand who Birdgirl is (in the last episode) he is utterly disgusted and disappointed in her for trying to get in to his pants. Especially since he's helpless, with the one eye. ...in his pants.
• The Scrappy: Birdgirl. Although, this is clearly intentional and lampshaded by her trumpeting whenever she tries to do anything. Also Scrappy Doo himself, who makes a brief appearance in one episode, is killed, and then seen as a corpse in various other episodes.
  • And when Scrappy dies, everyone laughs. Especially his "Uncle Scooby."
