Clarissa Explains It All/YMMV

• Ear Worm: If you listen, you might as well not even try to get the "Na na na na" theme out of your head.
• Funny Aneurysm Moment: "Being an understudy is like being Princess Di: lots of fringe benefits and no drawbacks!"
• Girl Show Ghetto: One of the first childrens' TV shows to break out of it.
• Hey, It's That Guy!: Melissa Joan Hart, who would go on to star in Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
  • And a boy Clarissa liked was Dawson
  • And little brat Elsie Soperstein was Michelle Trachtenberg.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • In this clip, Ferguson watches Cowboys and Aliens.
  • Clarissa making Ferguson disappear in the intro can come off as this considering how much magic Melissa Joan Hart would practice in her following show.
  • The series ended and Clarissa Now, its attempted CBS spinoff, would've begun with Clarissa becoming a journalist, a career path Sabrina would also take.
  • In N.O.T.V., Clarissa attempts to turn her computer into a TV Set since the rules didn’t say anything about it. Now, with streaming TV being the norm, it’s how the attempt is made that’s looks hilarious.
• Memetic Mutation: Almost no one remembers much about the show anymore besides the title. Probably because to this day, TV shows still make shout outs like "Yeah, Clarissa, explain it all!" frequently.
  • Ascended Meme: The 90s Are All That promotes the hashtag of #ThingsClarissaDidntExplain. The results are everything from fashion trends to conspiracy theories.
