* TheWoobie: The ducks themselves aren't exactly having the best day. The fact that the ducks seem to be friends with the Dog in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' makes one wonder what kind of amends the dog must have made with them.

* ItsEasySoItSucks: In the Virtual Console release, a highly visible reticle is turned on by default, making it a point-and-click game rather than a shooting game; this tends to be the reaction from people who [[GuideDangIt don't know you can turn the reticle off]] (specifically, by pressing any direction on the D-pad).
* MemeticMutation: The dog laughing at you has been mocked and parodied time and again all over the internet. It is infamous and became an AscendedMeme when the trailer for VideoGame/BanjoKazooie being added to ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' dropped, with the duo being impersonated at first by Duck Hunt, who proceed to heckle the cast of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' (and the video's audience) with vast quantities of their laughter.

* MemeticTroll: The dog.dog, of course. That snickering face has become the symbol of player mockery for years to come, eventually reaching to AscendedMeme status when players can play as Duck Hunt in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' and use that laughing face as a taunt to piss off other players.

Added DiffLines:

* TheScrappy: The dog is hated by many players who played this game for one simple fact: It does a mocking laugh if you fail to shoot one duck. It is [[DesignatedHero meant to be the player's hunting companion]] who drives the ducks out of their hiding spots and collect the dead ones for you. Normally, you expect the dog to be disappointed or sad since its efforts was all for naught (and thus makes you feel guilty). But instead, it laughs ''at'' you for missing and given that each round has the ducks [[DifficultyByAcceleration fly faster and more sporadic]], you will [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption experience this moment eventually]]. This led many players wanting to shoot the dog for being a poor sport, and some even believe the dog was never on your side, instead conspiring with the ducks to make your life miserable.
