Get Smart/YMMV

""What are you talking about, 99? We have to shoot and kill and destroy. We represent everything that's wholesome and good in the world.""
 * Anvilicious: Subverted/parodied. In one episode, after Smart blew up the bad guy with a cigarette, 99 ponders whether or not Control's methods are any better than those of KAOS. Max's response?


 * Ear Worm: Da da da, da da da...
 * Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The series was and still is popular in Mexico, thanks to the excellent dubbing work of the almost all the Mexican voice cast, to the grade that Maxwell Smart's Mexican VA, Jorge Arvizu, reprised his role as Smart in the Mexican Spanish dub of the 2008 movie.
 * Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped: The Cold War was often about this insane and stupid.
 * Weird Al Effect: The TV series parodied other spy shows airing at the time, such as The Man from U.N.C.L.E., I Spy and The Avengers, but has been in reruns so long that most people assume it to be a James Bond parody.
 * What an Idiot!: In The Movie, just before the skydiving sequence, when 99 discovers that Max has dropped out of the plane without a chute, she suits up, and goes after him... Leaving behind the second parachute. The Dragon takes advantage of this lapse of judgment.
