Santana (web video)/YMMV

The Band

• Ear Worm/Awesome Music: So many. Just to name a few: "Black Magic Woman", "Smooth" featuring Rob Thomas, "Why Don't You And I?" featuring Chad Kroeger, and "Just Feel Better" featuring Steven Tyler.

The Web Video

• Art Imitates Life: The show does a fairly accurate take on how Trinidadians interact and talk, but with the Jerkass levels turned way up due to Rule of Funny.
• Alternate Character Interpretation: Santana. Ill-tempered, abusive husband, or a Badass who takes crap from noone?
• Broken Aesop: Hey, kids! Feel free to be totally disrespectful to everyone, your mother will totally believe you if you act cute and helpless afterwards!
• Draco in Leather Pants: Santana is pretty much an abusive Jerkass towards people, and yet, most Trinidadians regard him as a complete Badass who doesn't take crap from anyone.
• Karma Houdini: Leroy.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Can occur when similar puppets are used for other productions by the creator. The puppet used for bad boy Terry in "The Fete" is exactly the same as the one used for Pastor Stewart, and the puppet used for Herman (seen here barking at his superior officer) is used without changes for resident Butt Monkey Narine!
• The Scrappy: Leroy is now this to the Santana cast as of his episode.
• Special Effects Failure: Probably doe to safety concerns, but it's rather hilarious to see Santana go on an off-screen rampage in the kitchen with pots clanging and glasses breaking only to see empty plastic bottles fly from the kitchen to those same sound effects.
• Uncanny Valley: The puppets can veer into this if the bulgy eyes are used as part of them.
• Unfortunate Implications: Narine implying that a Trinidadian of Chinese descent automatically knows how to speak Chinese. The guy even lampshades it, only for the bees to attack him and cause him to curse in fluent Chinese.
  • In "Kizzy", it's revealed that Patsy was abused by and became pregnant for her own father.
  • In "Thou Shalt Not Horn", it's implied during Janice and Santana's argument that this isn't the first time he pulled out a knife for her.
    • It's also shown that Janice really was cheating on him, as the men she had slept with start running away behind Santana's back. The unfortunate implication here? One of the sex partners seen running away is LEROY, an underaged boy.
  • An underaged Leroy cursing people twice his age, and watching Santana and Janice have sex in "Leroy". Santana's dialouge afterwards suggests that it wasn't the first time it happened. The same episode also hammers the point home that adults sometime behave very inappropriately in front of children without even realising it.
  • The Stealth Pun for Santana's Hiroshima, which causes Narine to belch an atomic explosion.
  • Narine is a male victim of domestic abuse, Played for Laughs in the series.
• What an Idiot!: Santana is on the run fron a swarm of bees, and makes it to his car. Not once does it occur to him to roll his windows up so the bees can't get him. To go one step further, everyone sees Santana running from the swarm, and not one of them thinks to high tail it and run away.
  • In "Meet Sookdeo", Chang giving Charlene $1500 to do her hair, and believing her lie about her father needing surgery for cataracts in his shoulder, which ends up costing him $800 more. Mere seconds later, she runs off with Santana, leaving Chang high and dry.
• What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?: It's basically Caribbean Muppets who drink, curse and have sex. Hilariously Lampshaded when the only child seen in the show thus far says this after Pastor Stewart's Cluster F-Bomb:

Child: Daddy, what is "****?"

Dad: (slaps kid behind the head) Boy, don't say that!
