Nu, Pogodi!/YMMV

• Crowning Music of Awesome: A lot of it if you like old-school Italo Disco.
• Designated Hero: The Hare.
• Foe Yay: Most obvious is when elegantly dressed Wolf comes over to Hare's house with apparently very friendly intentions and a bouquet of roses, and proceeds to open a bottle of cider (rare in the Soviet Union at that time). The fact that Hare is implied to be male but is voiced by an actress known for her extremely high-pitched voice certainly doesn't help.
  • What also doesn't help are the lyrics to the songs, most of which about love. Episode 7, for example.
  • In Episode 2 the Wolf and Hare dance the tango, with the Wolf carrying a rose in his teeth. In Episode 19 the Wolf dresses up as a woman to sneak up on the Hare.
• Memetic Mutation: The Catch Phrase and, to different extents, most of the (minimalist) dialogue.
• Unintentionally Sympathetic: The Wolf seems like a vaguely sympathetic awkward teenager (or, thanks to his deep chain-smoking voice, a 40-something blue collar down on his luck), whereas the Hare usually comes off as a bratty little kid.
  • The Wolf is pretty much the Villain Protagonist. The Hare is there mostly to give the Wolf something to chase. The Wolf can act without the Hare and still carry the show on his own, while the Hare, with his "perfect boy" persona, would get insufferable very quickly if alone.
  • YMMV, as Wolf acts quite visibly like a total Jerkass.
  • Uh, it's the whole point. Take an annoyingly bland Designated Hero so full of propriety that even the air around him Tastes Like Diabetes, let a hilarious hooligan practice apparently motiveless aggression while fumbling anything more than Poke the Poodle, and you get a good pair for slapstick. Because the viewer really roots for neither Hare nor Wolf -- they both deserve what they get. Much the same recipe was used in Leopold.
