Everybody Hates Chris/YMMV

• Crowning Moment of Awesome / Funny - Chris completely losing it in front of his parents over a night of hell in which the babysitter took off on him, a baby got dropped off, and the babysitter's mother showed up looking for her. Normally this could be considered a Heroic BSOD, but considering Chris doesn't get punished for his outburst or for the events of the night, it is quite awesome.
  • There was also the time Chris decided to take revenge against Caruso on the last day of Junior High School: he made the whole school smell like cat food, framed Caruso for it, and got the bully sent to summer school. Too bad Chris had to go to summer school with him, due to apparently failing Science.
• Dude, Not Funny - In the episode "Everybody Hates Bed-Stuy", adult Chris explains that he wasn't actually the first black kid at Corleone Jr. High, just the first one to make it through the door. Cue cutaway scene, set in 1968, in which a black kid gets off the bus and is shot on sight. Possibly justified in that most of the cutaway scenes happen in Chris's imagination, but it's understandable why some would not find this funny at all.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff - This show is very popular with Brazilian audiences. Absurdly popular. Teenagers actually quote the show in every possible instance.
• Hey, It's That Guy!: Chris' dad is either President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, that one guy that keeps hitting on one of the protagonists in White Chicks, or that guy who bounces his pecs and screams in the Old Spice commercials.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Greg was shown to wear costumes as pajamas. One of them included a Robin costume. A few years later, his actor, Vincent Martella, would do the voice of the teenage Jason Todd in Batman: Under the Red Hood.
• Take That, Scrappy!: Anytime Tonya gets busted.
  • When Julius gives Rochelle a classy shut up when he revealed that he made a credit card so he could buy their wedding rings. May count as a Crowning Moment of Awesome.
• Ho Yay - At least, this is how 2 different pairs of girls view a couple of passionate arguments between Chris and Greg.
• The Scrappy - Everybody hates Tonya. And that fact is not even a joke with the show's title.
  • Other characters seems to have this kind of treatment just for being a complete dick with Chris. Examples are Caruso and that annoying racist Miss Morello
  • Rochelle's snobbery, short temper, immaturity, and such can become incredibly grating at times. Not to mention it makes it pretty clear where Tonya learns her behavior from.
  • YMMV on whether or not Rochelle is the best or the most annoying character on the show.
