History YMMV / Jessie

** "Juding by his hand gesture, I do not think he considers you a buddy."

** Is Zuri cute or annoying?

** Is his "relationship" with Mrs. Kipling (and the way he treated her young) cute or annoying? At least Zuri and Ravi both have some of the funniest scenes, but at the cost of also being two of the most annoying characters on Creator/DisneyChannel.

** Officer Petey, who has now appeared in two episodes each season so far and certainly in future ones.

** Is Ravi cute or annoying? His "relationship" with Mrs. Kipling is pretty annoying, as is the way he treated her young. At least Zuri and Ravi both have some of the funniest scenes, but at the cost of also being two of the most annoying characters on Creator/DisneyChannel.

* HarsherInHindsight: After "The Whining" aired, a nanny in New York did kill two of her kids like the Ross children thought Jessie wanted to do. Disney has since pulled all reruns of the episode and it was removed from [=iTunes=].

** In-universe example: In "Gotcha Day" Bertram warns Mr. Kipling that if he ever has kids Bertram will make omelets out of them. In "The Secret Life of Mr. Kipling" (which happened to be ''the very next episode'',) Mr(s). Kipling's unhatched kids are in danger by being trapped inside a restaurant - that specializes in making omelets!
** A particularly uncomfortable moment: The final episodes of Season 3 consist of a multi-part story arc where Jessie suddenly gets engaged to a guy she randomly meets through the help of acquaintances (Emma, Zuri and Mrs. Chesterfield - all who ironically later try to split her up with him). It's been widely assumed (and rather transparent) that the story arc is an AuthorAvatar / ActorAllusion moment to Debby's real-life relationship to ''21 Pilots'' drummer Josh Dunn, a person she randomly met through the help of acquaintances (friendships with other members of ''21 Pilots'' as well as her own band, ''The Never Ending'') to the point where many fans speculated she would announce her own real life engagement to Josh at the conclusion of the story arc. As it turned out, Debby and Josh broke up right during the middle of the story arc's airing - which could make development of future plotlines of the show's marriage a bit awkward, to say the least. The fact that this comes on the heels of the break-up of Debby's real-life friend Sarah Hyland's breakup with long-time boyfriend Matt Prokop (due to what turned out to be a very abusive relationship) manages to make it just that much more uncomfortable. It got better after the show ended, when Josh and Debby made up and got engaged for real.

* SpiritualLicensee: A lot of people feel that this is ''[[Series/TheSuiteLifeOnDeck The Bailey Pickett]] [[SpinOff Show]]'' with the SerialNumbersFiledOff.

** Stuart makes it hard to relate to him and his crush on Zuri, as his behavior frequently crosses the line into creepy stalker territory, including a time where he ''locked Zuri and himself in the Ross' panic room!'' No wonder Zuri wants to get rid of him.

** Ravi gets a lot of Woobie moments too, especially in ''Are You Cooler Than a Fifth Grader?'' and "Gotcha Day" and pretty much whenever Mr. Kipling is in trouble. Like Debby, the actor ''really'' [[{{Adorkable}} sells it]]. Additionally, if anyone's going to get hurt in a scene, it's usually Ravi.

** The same can be said about Ravi. His "relationship" with Mrs. Kipling is pretty annoying as is the way he treated her young. At least Zuri and Ravi both have some of the funniest scenes, but at the cost of simultaneously being two of the most annoying characters on the Creator/DisneyChannel.

*** One joke suggests Ravi cares for Kipling's children out of ''fear'' of her.

** "Make New Friends But Hide the Old" is "that episode where Peyton dresses like a Barbie Doll" (complete with GagBoobs).

** Salma, Bertram's Woman of the Week in "Toy Con," joined [[Series/BrooklynNineNine the NYPD's 99th Precinct]] shortly after their salsa contest.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:

** Jessie [[LesYay and]] [[Series/GoodLuckCharlie Teddy]]. The upcoming crossover between the two shows wasn't necessary to make this happen; this pairing had been popular since ''[=SLOD=]'' (when Debby was still Bailey).

*** Likewise the subtle [[{{demographically inappropriate humour}} rape and prostitution jokes]] that tend to make their way into episodes.

* WhatAnIdiot: In "Trashin' Fashion", Christina fails to identify Kitty Couture as Emma. Y'know, ''her only biological daughter''.
** At the end of "Used Karma", Jessie & the kids are scared by a robed figure who is very obviously Bertram.
** Jessie during "G.I. Jessie." What could possibly have made her think that bringing Luke to a military base where experimental weaponry is kept was a good idea? She was practically begging him to make trouble.

*** The end of the plotline ([[spoiler: they don't get married and the guy moves to Africa to run an animal shelter]]) makes this either better or worse, depending on how you look at it.

* GirlShowGhetto: Averted by using an equal cast of three guys and three girls, giving both the male and female characters important (if not entirely equal) roles and attracting both male and female viewers with eye candy. You can take the viewpoint that the show is ''slightly'' shifted more towards girls because Jessie herself is the title character, Creator/PeytonRList is the second actor billed & Zuri is the first regular character the audience is introduced to after Jessie.

* JustHereForGodzilla: As with most Disney {{KidCom}}s, a fair amount of males are only watching to look at females (in this case, Creator/DebbyRyan and Creator/PeytonRList).

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Crossing over with ''Series/LivAndMaddie'' and not have Liv or Maddie anywhere in sight (''Jessie's Aloha Holidays with Parker and Joey'')? Especially since Emma and Liv would get on like a house on fire, and Jessie would likely bond with Maddie? Not to mention a special with Creator/DebbyRyan, Creator/PeytonRList, Creator/DoveCameron ''and'' Creator/MaiaMitchell would definitely appeal to the show's TestosteroneBrigade.

* CargoShip: Bertram and any of his kitchen tools. Taken UpToEleven in "Coffee Talk", where he falls in love with a coffee maker with a sentient AI, to the point of accusing her of cheating on him with Luke (who just wanted to use the AI as a Spanish tutor, since Ravi gave up on him).

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: It's hard to act sympathetic for the kids at times, considering that they're selfish half of the time (especially Zuri & Luke).

* NightmareFuel: The B plot in "Take the A-Train… I Think?" involves Bertram and Luke trying to kill a spider. The worst part comes after they kill it and decide to watch a movie, only to discover that the spider had babies and the cinema room is stock full of them and their webs. This is ''not'' a pretty sight and can scare even the less arachnophobic people.

** Mrs. Rhoda Chesterfield crosses this at least twice: First time she crossed it was when she yelled at Jessie and calls the Animal Control to get rid of Mr. Kipling, merely because '''Jessie's cookies broke her tooth'''. She crossed it again in ''Glue Dunnit: A Sticky Situation'' by breaking Luke's football. It's implied she crossed this a while back, and did something very terrible to her ex-hairdresser and several of her ex-husbands.

** A particularly uncomfortable "Funny Aneurysm" Moment: The final episodes of Season 3 consist of a multi-part story arc where Jessie suddenly gets engaged to a guy she randomly meets through the help of acquaintances (Emma, Zuri and Mrs. Chesterfield - all who ironically later try to split her up with him). It's been widely assumed (and rather transparent) that the story arc is an AuthorAvatar / ActorAllusion moment to Debby's real-life relationship to ''21 Pilots'' drummer Josh Dunn, a person she randomly met through the help of acquaintances (friendships with other members of ''21 Pilots'' as well as her own band, ''The Never Ending'') to the point where many fans speculated she would announce her own real life engagement to Josh at the conclusion of the story arc. As it turned out, Debby and Josh broke up right during the middle of the story arc's airing - which could make development of future plotlines of the show's marriage a bit awkward, to say the least. The fact that this comes on the heels of the break-up of Debby's real-life friend Sarah Hyland's breakup with long-time boyfriend Matt Prokop (due to what turned out to be a very abusive relationship) manages to make it just that much more uncomfortable. It got better after the show ended, when Josh and Debby made up and got engaged for real.

* CriticalDissonance: The show is actually almost universally panned by critics and is often called one of the worst shows on Disney Channel (or one of the worst tween/teen shows in history), yet it's one of the highest-rated shows on the network and was able to squeeze out a full four seasons (something traditionally only reserved for consistent breakout hits). It also maintains heavy reruns on the channel as of this writing, despite having ended already.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: After "The Whining" aired, a nanny in New York did kill two of her kids like the Ross children thought Jessie wanted to do. Disney has since pulled all reruns of the episode and it was removed from [=iTunes=].

** After she gets knocked down by Luke’s RC car, Jessie says she’s confiscating it until 2020. Boyce wouldn’t make it to that year.
* GirlShowGhetto: Averted by using an equal cast of three guys and three girls, giving both the male and female characters important (if not entirely equal) roles and attracting both male and female viewers with eye candy. You can take the viewpoint that the show is ''slightly'' shifted more towards girls because Jessie herself is the title character, Creator/PeytonRList is the second actor billed & Zuri is the first regular character the audience is introduced to after Jessie.

** "Ghost Bummers," the second full-on Halloween special. You try finding another Disney show involving demonic possession.
*** Except for WesternAnimation/GravityFalls. Or Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace.
