What are some shows/movies you enjoyed where everyone else didn't seem to like?

Have you ever had a show or movie you really loved back in the day, and it still holds up in your mind but no one else seems to care for? Or even downright despises? For me, it's Nickelodeon's/ Nicktoon's Kappa Mikey. https://assets.change.org/photos/7/ni/ky/YbNikyyXokRrwNs-800x450-noPad.jpg?1528922947 I'm not sure if this show was popular when it ran? I do remember in forums I've seen some negative criticism towards and that it fails as an anime parody or something of the sort? I'll admit the show isn't perfect and the humor can be very out there and just plain random. But for me, there's a certain charm about this cartoon that I really enjoy. Like the animation is very stylistic. I like how Mikey has more bolder lines than the Japanese anime style characters showing a clear distinction between nationalities. There's some pretty funny well written jokes, and I think it does the anime parody pretty well and makes references to some anime that were popular at the time. Naruto was one of them, they had a doctor named Takashi Kakashi with a headband slanted like Kakashi Hatake from Naruto. Astroboy was another, and there's even a Speedracer reference where he's an old timer driving a limo as a job. It's fun to see a show have two different shows at the same time. Actors playing themselves as different characters as opposed on TV. The show pokes fun of itself with the exaggerated over-the-top anime dramatic expressions, it breaks the 4th wall a lot. xP The characters are colorful too. Mikey's voiced by Michael Sinterniklaas. He's kind of like Fry from Futurama actually his design is does remind of Fry now that I think about... He can be a bit annoying, and does stupid things which is similar to Fry but there's a likability to it and the humor surprisingly plays off to it. There's Guano voiced by Gary Mack. The writer of the show but also supposed to be like the pikachu of the show I guess? Lots of funny cute moments and interestingly enough wears the character suit in real life and never takes it off. Lily, is the star of the show. She's egotistical and feels she has to be better than everyone else, but sometimes has a nice side. Most of the comedy revolves around Mikey annoying the heck out of her with his dumb stunts. I can't remember who voiced her but her voice actress voiced a few of the 4kids dubs. Mitsuki, voiced by Evelyn Lento, also Mokuba in the 4kids dub of Yugioh, for some random weird reason has a crush on Mikey. She's like the "notice me senpai" character but is the most laid back and supportive of her friends. Gonard, voiced by Sean Schemmel, who most you probably know him as the voice for Goku in Dragonball Z, is the lovable goofball giant and plays the villain in the show. Ozu, is the prideful producer Japanese boss who can be occasionally goofy and serious at the same time. And last by not least, Yes man who's just constantly random.... Also, Dan Green and Wayne Grayson make guest appearances occasionally, who you might as Yugi and Joey from the 4kids dub of Yugioh. And they play mostly gag characters, or background character, but they're just fantastic when they are used. One of my favorite gag type characters Dan Green plays is this roman warrior named Spartacus. And just out of nowhere he pops up among a riot or crowd and says "Feel him to the Lions!" or "Feed them to the Lions!" And he uses his Yami Yugi voice. I'm not sure why, but that running gag still makes me laugh to this day. It's probably the voice or the delivery that makes it funny. Anyways! So yeah, with all of that said, what are some shows/or even movies that hold up for you guys that aren't very popular or seem to get hate?
