< Space Jam
Space Jam/YMMV
- Awesome Music: Elaborated under Ear Worm.
- A testament to the soundtrack's awesomeness: it was certified 6x platinum in 2001 (meaning 6 million copies sold), and it's listed as one of the top twenty best selling movie soundtracks of all time.
- Base Breaker: Lola Bunny. While some fans think of her as The Scrappy, she also has her own following.
- Breakaway Pop Hit: Many songs in the soundtrack.
- Ear Worm: The entire soundtrack. Some overlap with Awesome Music.
- And "I Believe I Can Fly" also overlaps with both Award Bait Song and Breakaway Pop Hit. Very few people seem to be aware that it's from a movie at all.
- The theme song to Space Jam is also an ear worm. Being remixable doesn't help.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: In the last weeks of 2010, blogger Jonah Peretti discovered that the official website for this movie was still up and running, and totally untouched since 1996. Go forth, young troper, and see what the internet was like back in the dial-up era!
- Also, when Michael tells Bugs and Daffy to get his lucky UNC underwear from his home, Daffy replies "Your house? In 3D Land?
- Just Here for Godzilla: One of the reasons people watched this is lampshaded in this motivational poster.
- Some reviewers insisted that the only reason to watch the movie was the actual basketball game at the end -- the rest was junk.
- Memetic Mutation: People seem to love remixing the Space Jam theme song with other songs.
- Nightmare Fuel: The sudden art-shift to Swackhammer fantasizing about Michael Jordan as his slave in the dungeons of Moron Mountain, and the implications of this (never seeing his family again, living the rest of his life in misery, etc.)
- Also the Nerdlucks transformation into the Monstars is pretty intense.
Porky: I w-w-wet myself.
- The Monstars molding Michael into a ball.
- A extreme close-up of Taz during the ultimate game.
- The Scrappy: Stan. Even the other characters think he's annoying, Michael especially.
- Lola Bunny was this at first.
- What the Hell, Casting Agency?: The Nerdlucks aiming to steal the talent of Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson and Muggsy Bogues makes sense. But SHAWN BRADLEY??
- Lampshaded in the film how it wasn't just all-stars affected. Justified in how the Nerdluck who stole his talent had the least going on upstairs, so naturally he would go for one of the tallest out of his league players rather than, say, Shaq or David Robinson.
- This is also satirized in an article where a sports writer compiled all of the box scores from the game. He points out that the blue Nerdluck literally did nothing of worth, and said that it was the most realistic aspect of the movie.
- Mind you, this is just the basketball players. Heck, if you consider this to be a movie about Michael Jordan, the Looney Tunes count!
