YMMV is not for real people.


* DullSurprise: Has been accused of his acting being rather "similar" and having no other expression besides: Grumpy, Angry and Pissed Off. (especially in InTime)
* DieForOurShip: Despite it being almost ten years to the day since they broke up forever. Certain people of BritneySpears and JustinTimberlake's fandom still believe they had true love. Regardless of what he did to her, or she did to him and their general apparent incompatibility.
* EarWorm: "Like I Love You", "Sexyback", "My Love" still get played a lot in popular culture.
* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: The four times he hosted ''SaturdayNightLive'' (the first of which was on the 28th anniversary of ''SNL'''s premiere). Who knew the guy could do comedy?
** Also applies to his hosting of the 2008 [=ESPYs=], where he cracked on the New York Giants' victory over the New England Patriots, performed a song on his love of sports, and berated his hometown Memphis Tigers for blowing the NCAA Championships earlier that year.
** His cameo on the season 37 episode hosted by Maya Rudolph. In a sketch about different celebrities visiting Beyonce and Jay-Z's new baby girl (such as NickiMinaj, {{Prince}}, TaylorSwift, LL Cool J, and Brad Pitt and AngelinaJolie [[hottip:*: the latter of which tries to kidnap the child to add to her collection of multicultural children]]), Timberlake appears as Bon Iver frontman, Justin Vernon [[hottip:*:In the sketch, he's mistakenly referred to as "Bon Iver"]] and sings the kid to sleep with one of his songs. It ends up putting ''him'' to sleep (while standing up).

* WTHCastingAgency: He played Boo Boo in the ''WesternAnimation/YogiBear'' movie. ''It was dead on''.
** According to an interview, he used to imitate cartoon characters' voices when he was learning to sing, Boo Boo included.
* UnfortunateImplications: JT has a fallen into this a few times.
** Black female singer Ciara's video [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raB8z_tXq7A&ob=av2n Love Sex Magic]] displays her as a total sex object to him, a white man. This is especially unfortunate given the history of white male slave owners using their female slaves sexually.
** There was also his ripping off Janet Jackson's cup at the Superbowl halftime show, especially when later stories about it ignored his role and made it sound like she ''disrobed herself'', not to mention that it effectively ignored the fact that (had both of them not been in on it) what Justin did would be considered ''sexual assault''. Not to mention that when he rips the bodice of Janet's outfit he says "Bet I'll have you naked by the end of this song" implying that he's going to get her naked by force rather than with his charm.
** Did a strip tease in his concert with only females only in there underwear and the despite the fact he had male dancers there they were not included in the show.
** Mocked and insulted BritneySpears on live radio, saying he "fucked" her and how he fucked her and generally made a fool out of her on a somewhat worldwide level.

* UnfortunateImplications: From the Nipplegate (Letting JanetJackson take the blame), his reaction to BritneySpears cheating on him, for example, slagging her off in public and telling people details/the nature of their relationship, all the way till right now. So many unfortunate incidents he's involved with...
** Ditching his band entirely after hitting the big time, and then moving onto acting after that got "old", just because of the pay rise and his name.
** He also is the master of the MadonnaWhoreComplex and has used women to get further in his career and then ditched them and never looked back. This makes him look unfornatate and mean. Almost always leaving the women to look like ''whore'' after he's done his thing.
** Conveniently singing ''Rehab'' by AmyWinehouse when BritneySpears had to go to one.
** All of this has unfortunate implications for his image and reeks of DoubleStandards.
