History YMMV / DrakeAndJosh

** A gag early in the series had Megan having a web show which featured her and her friend embarrassing Josh. [[Series/ICarly A show about a girl and her web-show starring Miranda Cosgrove?]] Naw, [[ItWillNeverCatchOn that would never catch on]].

--> '''Josh:''' I hope you go bald!
--> '''Drake:''' I hope they cancel Oprah!
--> '''Josh:''' TAKE THAT BACK!

** Speaking of Brian Peck, Kimmy Robertson, one of Peck's closed friends who worked with him on ''Film/TheLastAmericanVirgin'', had a guest-starring in Season 1, Episode 4, "Two Idiots and a Baby", as the woman who said, "Say Mama!". In 2024, it was later revealed that she was one of Peck's supporters when he was arrested, and falsely-accusing bell of coming on to him and tempting him.

** Walter. You can't help but feel sorry for everything that happens to him: Megan constantly disrespects him, his ''own'' son and step-son treat him as inferior, and the world seems to just ''hate him''. The only one who seems to like him is Audrey, but even ''she treats him like crap at times''. He's constantly compared to Bruce Winchell, who's considered a better weatherman than he is (and is made fun of repeatedly by his children because of his vain attempts to be better than Bruce) and even Audrey shows more interest in Bruce as well. It doesn't also help that Dan Schneider has later on started including other characters in his shows (''Series/{{iCarly}}'' and ''Series/{{Victorious}}'') who serve no purpose other than to be laughed at.

* FanPreferredCutContent: TheStinger of "Pilot" contains a WhatIf scenario where the JerkJock asks what his girlfriend saw in Josh, prompting her to correct him that he had the wrong guy and Drake was the one she dated. This earns Drake a black eye similarly to Josh. Many fans wish this had been left in the episode for provided Drake LaserGuidedKarma for cowardly letting Josh take the fall for him and being a humorous subversion of SustainedMisunderstanding usually associated with the DumbJock.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Walter and Audrey in "Steered Straight". We're supposed to side with them when Drake and Josh get caught using fake [=IDs=] to get into a club, but the way they go about this is rather questionable. They sign the two up for "The Steered Straight Program", which shows children and teenagers what it's like to get arrested. While punishing them for the false [=ID=] cards is understandable, the parents also mention the Gary Grill incident, burning down their neighbor's kid's treehouse, and Josh's speeding ticket. In the former incident the duo was blameless (they didn't know that the grills were stolen (they also ended up being arrested and having to have their innocence proven, which makes the whole "Steered Straight" program seem unnecessary since they already know what it's like to be arrested)) while duo already served their punishment for the latter incidents they already served punishment for (burning down the treehouse was an accident and they tried to rebuild it, while Josh's speeding ticket had already been paid off). But the parents' plan backfires when, on the way to the program, the cop stops at a nearby gas station and a real criminal hijacks the car, taking the two boys with him. In reality, Blaze would've hurt the boys or, worse, had them both ''killed''. At the end, only Walter ends up getting LaserGuidedKarma when he's forced to miss his date, handcuffed by his own sons, and shoved into a closet, while Audrey ends up being a KarmaHoudini. When the boys explain their situation, she remarks, "Well, how were we supposed to know you were going to get tangled up with ''real'' criminals?", indicating she shows little to no remorse and only displays concern for Walter when the duo [[SomethingWeForgot realize that they forgot that they shoved him in a closet]].

** In the episode "The Demonator," Josh's crazy WWII vet of a grandpa mistakes Craig and Eric for Germans and repeatedly attacks them. The gag becomes considerably less funny, [[CrossesTheLineTwice or funnier]] a few episodes later when a one-off line by Drake informs us that Craig and Eric are [[AmbiguouslyJewish Jewish]].
