Action Man/YMMV

The toys:

 * Ear Worm: "Action Man - The hero of the world!"

The animated series:

 * Epileptic Trees: Several, all surrounding Action Man's undisclosed past. For example, at the end of one episode, after Ursula informs AM (from a distance) that he was a spy infiltrating Dr. X's Skull-Men unit and was never truly a member of the organization (as his fractured memory flashes had led him to think), she's seen weeping while holding implying that she might be.
 * Foe Yay: Action Man and Ursula.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: The way Natalie is dressed, see this image, considering Pamela Anderson and Malene Espensen would start dressing this way, making them literal Captain Ersatz versions of them.

The CGI series:

 * Crowning Music of Awesome/Ear Worm: The opening and ending theme(s) for the show.
 * Narm: Dr. X calling Alex Mann by his actual name while he's a dude in distress would be more impressive if he did not call him "Mr. Mann".
 * Nightmare Fuel: Brandon's transformations. Also, the Psycho Electro pulling off a Last-Note Nightmare by showing off his electroplated skull.
