History YMMV / FishHooks

* ClicheStorm: Possibly half the reason the show is considered adequate due to having plots that have been used before as well as StockCharacters. These episodes usually take place in school. For example, you think we would've seen an episode about class pictures, passing a test, forgetting someone's anniversary before?

* CriticalDissonance: The show has not been as well received by critics as [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb some]] [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls other]] animated Creator/DisneyChannel shows, but this show still scored about 3 million viewers on average each new episode. Not to mention the pilot, "Bea Stays In the Picture", scored a huge ''4.8 million'', which is about more than most episodes of ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants''.

* PairTheSpares / ShipsThatPassInTheNight: With the Oscar x Bea pairing, there tends to be a paring of [[CrazyAwesome Milo]] x [[LovableAlphaBitch Shellsea]], despite that both have very little dialogue together, the most being in the sleepover episode, when Milo is DisguisedInDrag.

* HilariousInHindsight: The episode and location called "WebOriginal/CampCamp"

* EarWorm:
** The theme song.
*** "1, 2, 3, 4, who's that knocking on my door? 5, 6, 7, 8, hurry and up don't be late!..."
** "Final exam! Final exam! You better get ready for the final exam!"
** "Eat Dip! Eat Dip! Eat Dip, Eat Dip, Eat Dip!"

* GrowingTheBeard: The show is better received later on due to more apparent character development and better plots in general.

* TheScrappy: The most despised person is Randy Pincherson. He's a {{Jerkass}} who treats the others like shit, ruins moments for people just because he can, and has zero redeeming qualities. He makes Jocktopus look better by comparison.

* TheScrappy: Randy Pincherson and Jocktopus are seen as this by fans, due to their {{Jerkass}} tendencies and lack of redeeming qualities.

* JustHereForGodzilla: Most people were probably introduced to this show from [[WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor Mr.Warburton's]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy Maxwell Atoms']] involvement as writers and directors respectively.

%%* SoOkayItsAverage: [[BrokenBase At best]].

** At times, Oscar also qualifies. He is such a nervous wreck, and is implied several times that he has some sort of [[AmbiguousDisorder anxiety disorder]].
** Poor little Finberley is always on the verge of slapstick.

* UglyCute: Koi, Mr. Baldwin, and Clamantha.

* UglyCute: Baldwin's Babies looks misshaped, but they're cute in their own right.

* CounterpartComparison: A lot of critics have described this show as Creator/DisneyChannel's answer to ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', both being aquatic-themed and all.

* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: A lot of people criticize the show for its similarities to ''SpongeBob SquarePants''.

* GrowingTheBeard: The show is better received later on due to more apparent character development and better plots in general.

* CriticalDissonance: The show has not been as well received by critics as [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb some]] [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls other]] animated Disney shows, but this show still scored about 3 million viewers on average each new episode. Not to mention the pilot, "Bea Stays In the Picture", scored a huge ''4.8 million'', which is about more than most episodes of ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants''.

** Final exam! Final exam! You better get ready for the final exam!
** Eat Dip! Eat Dip! Eat Dip, Eat Dip, Eat Dip!

* IdiotPlot: There are many, ''many'' episodes who have this:

* SoOkayItsAverage: [[BrokenBase At beast]].

** At times, Oscar also qualifies. He is such a nervous wreck, and is implied several times that he has some sort of [[AmbiguousDisorder anxiety disorder]].

* AwesomeArt: Not that the show is normally a slouch in the animation department, but there quite a few fans who preferred the human character designs in "Pool Party Panic". Aside from them managing to avert falling in to the UncannyValley and all of them actually looking good if not better, their faces, shape, and personality are honest-to-god faithful to their fish counterparts and [[CastOfSnowflakes beautifully diverse]].

* ClicheStorm: Possibly half the reason the show is considered adequate due to having plots that have been used before. These episodes usually take place in school. For example, you think we would've seen an episode about class pictures, passing a test, forgetting someone's anniversary before?

* CriticalDissonance: The show has not been as well received by critics as [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb some]] [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls other]] animated Disney shows, but this show still it's revealed that all she wants is for someone to love her, and is desperate for one.cores about 3 million viewers on average each new episode. Not to mention the pilot, "Bea Stays In the Picture", scored a huge ''4.8 million'', which is about more than most episodes of ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants''.

** "Sixteen Clamandles": Nobody even ''questions'' about if Clamantha's birthday hat was real or a mistake. All they do is get the assumption that it really is her birthday.

%% * CrazyAwesome: Milo.

* IdiotPlot:
** "Milo's Magical Shake", and is it ever. Long story short, Milo gets his 1,000th milkshake for free along with 999 shakes he bought previously, names it Emily, and cherishes the moment rather than drinks her. Milo doesn't even consider drinking Emily even when she starts to melt, and [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything his friends even hold an intervention!]] Of course, [[IdiotHero Milo]] was the main character of this one. Besides, there are many, ''many'' other episodes who have idiot plots:

** Both fans and haters of the show agree that if the show was focused less on school, and more on the [[WidgetSeries weirdness]], it wouldn't be such a indecisive crowd. Needless to say, episodes like "Fish Out of Water" or "Peopleing" are better received than episodes like "Queen Bea" or "Fish Floaters".

* UncannyValley:

** Occasionally the animation becomes quite stiff and jerky for a Disney show, particularly in the first season.
%%* UglyCute: Baldwin's Babies.
%%* TheWoobie:
%%** Clamantha becomes a much more sympathetic character after "Two Clams In Love."
%%** Albert Glass could also count as one.
%%** At times, Oscar also qualifies.

** "Pool Party Panic". A lot of fans preferred the human designs and found the characters of that universe much more interesting. It doesn't help that it

** Let's be fair though, [[IdiotHero Milo]] was the main character of that one. Besides, there are many, ''many'' other episodes who have idiot plots:
** "Oscar is a Playa": Based on an asumption between Escargot and Oscar, and the truth doesn't come out until the episode is about to end.

** "Pool Party Panic"
