* UnintentionalUncannyValley: Due to the CGI models being fairly low-quality (even compared to the previous [=DreamWorks=] shows on Nickelodeon) the human characters (mainly Susan, Monger, and the President) look very ugly and plasticky, with Susan in particular resembling a porcelain doll.

* {{Sequelitis}}: Compared to both the previous [=DreamWorks=] shows on Nickelodeon and its own [[WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens source movie]], the series is widely considered to be a massive downgrade, with worse animation and less charming writing/humour.

* FanonDiscontinuity: The series is often ignored by fans of the movie due to the rampant {{flanderization}} across the cast, hideously creepy and outdated CGI animation, and giving Susan the ability to revert back to her normal size (and thus killing the main idea behind her character).

* DesignatedHero: Most of the time the titular monsters come across as idiotic xenophobic jerks, and there are several occasions where the conflict of an episode brought about by the monsters being assholes or just being plain stupid.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process

For this trope, the work has to be a part of a long-running series.


* HilariousInHindsight: The Internet (who is actually an alien) constantly uses old and dead memes. This would be a groan-inducing attempt at being [[WereStillRelevantDammit relevant]]...if not for the brief resurgence of extremely old memes at the time, making the episode look relevant ''and'' seem like a parody of current events.
