History YMMV / Dannyphantom

* NightmareFuel: [[spoiler:Dark Danny just before he kills his human half in "The Ultimate Enemy".]] Actually, the whole episode will suffice. Spectra and Bertrand also qualify.
** This is Nocturn's whole schtick.
** Dannielle[[spoiler:'s entire body melting and Danny collapsing next to the pool of her remains saying he was too late.]]

* SeasonalRot: Despite the introductions of new friends and foes, the development of new powers, and the return of some fan favorite characters, many felt the third season went through a bit of this due to changing of executives and the very bad writing plot of may episodes ("Urban Jungle" is one of the most prominent examples).

* SmallNameBigEgo: "I TECHNUS, MASTER OF ALL THINGS ELECTRONIC AND BEEPING!" Keep in mind that he is also the one who came closest to succeeding in his plans.
** Likewise, there's Ember.
** Vlad, unfortunately, falls under this during Season Three.
** What, the Fenton Family themselves don't count? Or at least Jack - EVERYTHING they make has a "Fenton" somewhere in it, and half his inventions have his face on them somewhere. He even has a toaster that makes toast SHAPED like him!
** The Box Ghost, [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome Master of all things Cardboard and Square.]]

* BadAssDecay: Skulker at first was the most dangerous enemy Danny encountered, but in his following appearances, he became less and less a serious threat, only showing competence one or two times during his encounters with Danny.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Due to the series but cutoff while in it's prime, we never found out what became of the Crown Of Fire Vlad obtained after Danny defeated Pariah Dark.

** Though to some degree it was justified. He underwent a VillainousBreakdown after his perfect clone was destroyed and he didn't want Danny as his son any more. So thus he was more intrested in making Danny's life a living heck than his original motive.

'''GW:''' Because sometimes "Ghost Writer" is just too long to bother with. ( And his initials are written on the pediment of his mansion).

(The wolf lady transforms into a more feral-looking wolf).

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment (The random iguana-ghost attack during the beginning of "King Tuck". It's never mentioned again for the rest of the episode.)

--> '''Jack:''' An old friend? No. ''You''? Yes. *Turns his back and leaves*

--> '''Danny:''' *To other ghosts* The good news is, my powers are back. The bad news is, my powers are back!

--> '''Vlad:''' This can't be! You're an idiot! ''An idiot!''
--> '''Jack:''' That may be, but I'm the idiot who beat you.

** Spectra
*** [[RapidAging At least until the end, anyway]].

-->'''College Trio''' - Collective name to refer to Vlad, Jack, and Maddie.
-->'''CW''' - Because sometimes "Clockwork" is just too long to bother with.
-->'''GW''' - Because sometimes "Ghost Writer" is just too long to bother with. ( And his initials are written on the pediment of his mansion )
-->'''Frightmare''' - Nocturne's temporary name prior to the episode "Frightmare" airing.
-->'''Señor Seximus''' - Nickname used by English-speaking fans for Vlad in the Spanish language version of the show. Why did they watch this version? [[ScrewedByTheNetwork Do you even have to ask?]]
-->'''Vlad Seximus''' - Enough said.
-->'''Dan Phantom'''- A name commonly used for Danny's evil alternate-future self. Only originated in the video game adaptation.
-->'''Dark Danny'''-Another name used for Danny's evil alternate future-self. Shown during the episode's credits.
-->'''Master of Longwinded Introductions'''-Technus.

* FurryFandom: In "Reality Trip", Tucker admits aloud that he finds a wolf lady to be "hot".
--> '''Tucker:''' That may be the hottest geek I've ever laid eyes on.
--> (The wolf lady transforms into a more feral-looking wolf)
--> '''Sam:''' Yeah? How about now?
--> '''Tucker:''' Yeah. Still hot.

** FanPreferredCouple: Danny/Valerie, Danny/Vlad, Danny/Dan, Sam/Tucker, Tucker/Valerie, Sam/Dan, Sam/Kwan, Sam/Dash, Danny/Tucker/Sam, Maddie/Vlad, Danny/Paulina- the list goes on and on and on and on...

** MindGameShip: Ala ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''. Some [[{{Shipping}} Shippers]] just took it and ran with it.

* UnfortunateImplications: Youngblood and Box-lunch are ''dead kids.'' Also, what your afterlife will be like.

* MotiveDecay: Vlad's initial, intriguing motive to turn Danny into his son and apprentice, putting him on par with Slade from ''Series/TeenTitans'', disintegrated without explanation by Season 3, leaving him nothing your average, run-of-the-mill VillainWithGoodPublicity.

** MindGameShip: Ala ''Series/TeenTitans''. Some [[{{Shipping}} Shippers]] just took it and ran with it.

* CharacterDerailment: Jazz, Vlad in the third season.

** Danny getting his powers back in Phantom Planet.

* MotiveDecay: Vlad's initial, intriguing motive to turn Danny into his son and apprentice, putting him on par with Slade from ''TeenTitans'', disintegrated without explanation by Season 3, leaving him nothing your average, run-of-the-mill VillainWithGoodPublicity.

** MindGameShip: Ala ''TeenTitans''. Some [[{{Shipping}} Shippers]] just took it and ran with it.

* {{Hatedom}}: A mild one for Dani.

* {{Narm}}: The sound effect for the Ghostly Wail, the most badass attack Danny has, is so cheesy it's embarrassing.
** Vlad's defeat in "Phantom Planet", where [[spoiler:he is humorously smacked by the Disasteroid]].
** And the fact that, earlier in the show, most of Danny's combat dialogue was basically him yelling "Get away!" at his enemies.

* VillainDecay: Vlad during the first two seasons was a Magnificent Bastard and a very competent arch-foe with an often sympathetic side. But in the third season, he became a shallow crook with little redeeming qualities; his final plan was to force the world to let him save it from a giant meteor in exchange for world domination (an agenda that was poorly conceived) and 500 billion dollars...as if he wasn't already filthy stinking RICH!

* {{Anvilicious}}

* {{Hatedom}}: A mild one for Dani, likely due to poor execution of her story, though YourMilageMayVary.
* MagnificentBastard[=/=]ManipulativeBastard: Vlad.

* TheScrappy: Some fans attribute this to Danielle, but YourMileageMayVary.

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: Desiree, the LiteralGenie. Well, [[http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a374/LemonyShepard/Desiree.jpgy]]. But, [[http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs46/f/2009/230/3/8/HUMAN_DESIREE_by_CrimsonFace.jpg in human form]], it's NightmareRetardant.

* FanPreferredCouple: Danny/Valerie, Danny/Vlad, Danny/Dan, Sam/Tucker, Tucker/Valerie, Sam/Dan, Sam/Kwan, Sam/Dash, Danny/Tucker/Sam, Maddie/Vlad, Danny/Paulina- the list goes on and on and on and on...
** That's not to say Danny/Sam isn't popular. In fact, ''at least'' a quarter of the fandom ships them.

* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Seriously, the fans pair Danny up with everyone...and everything. Many of these pairings have nicknames, such as Pitch Pearl.
** Strangest might possibly be [[CargoShip Danny x Thermos]]. (Granted the pairing was created as a gag due to the [[SeriousBusiness craziness of the fandom at the time]]. That didn't stop someone from initiating Rule 34 for this pairing, though...)
* MindGameShip: Ala ''TeenTitans''. Some [[{{Shipping}} Shippers]] just took it and ran with it.

* ShipToShipCombat: The infamous "True-Fan VS Anti-Fan" wars which basically boiled down to "Canon" (Danny/Sam) VS "Fanon" (Danny/Anyone Else) and/or "Heterosexual Pairings" (IE: Danny/Sam, Danny/Valerie) VS "Slash" (Danny/Vlad, Danny/Dash, and even Danny/Himself *Don't ask*).
** What is even more disturbing, one has ''multiple'' options for the last one.
