History YMMV / PeepAndTheBigWideWorld

** "Door Tour": Peep is having a perfectly nice morning. Quack runs up and plants the idea in his head that his can needs a door, then disappears for most of the rest of the episode to decorate his hat with the fish. Peep spends a great deal of timing running to and from trying to get a good door, and actually manages to get one. (A frisbee with some mud as a hinge) Then Quack returns, gets ''very'' sad when he realizes that he can't see Peep through the door, and then convinces Peep that he doesn't need a door after all and then when Peep reminds him that the door was his idea, Quack declares that it wasn't what he ''meant''...dismantles the door, and the episode treats ''his hat looking ridiculous'' as the biggest issue.

* AdaptionDisplacement: ''Nobody'' knows that the 2004 cartoon was based on the 1988 animated short film of the same name, which ''[[RuleOfThree in turn]]'' [[RuleOfThree was based on]] the short animated film ''The Peep Show'' from 1962, which is also extremely obscure.

* NightmareFuel:
** In "Stormy Weather," at one point, we see [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/peep_crying.png a gloomy-looking Peep staring right into the camera]], accompanied with 10-note gloomy minor key music!
** In "Quack's Tracks," Peep and Chirp are trapped near paw prints that have four toes. We all know that cats have four toes, and what they do to birds. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tom_slasher_smile.png Tom's Slasher Smile]] does not help.

* SugarWiki/SheReallyCanAct: Amanda Soha really manages to convey poor Chirp’s misery in part 2 “The Sounds of Silence”.

* {{Wangst}}: Quack often acts like this.
* WhatAnIdiot: Beaver Boy has tons of these moments. Quack also qualifies to a lesser extent, but that is more due to genuine ignorance of how certain things work.

* HilariousInHindsight / MemeticMutation: In "A Peep of a Different Color", Peep covers himself in red paint. Quack doesn't recognize him and calls him [[VideoGame/AmongUs a red imposter]].

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Chirp in "Sounds of Silence". While she could have more calmly dealt with Quack's interruptions and would have minimized her own suffering as well, Quack was being genuinely obnoxious and as the robin equivalent as a five year old girl, she can be forgiven for having trouble clearly communicating her issues to him. It doesn't help that the ultimate moral of the episode boils down to "Chirp needs Quack to carry her through puddles, so she should put up with him, warts and all." In other words, Quack gets to be annoying as he wants because Chirp needs him. In the end, it’s a bit of a DownerEnding for Chirp.
** While not portrayed as ''sympathetic'', per say, Quack's liberal pushing around of [[ExtremeDoormat Peep]] is heavily played for laughs, perhaps a bit more so then some viewers are comfortable with. And Quack never faces any consequences for this, while poor Peep silently puts up with it all. Quack ''tries'' to boss Chirp around as well, but she actually shows initiative to stand up for herself-Peep's just to nice to even think about trying it.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: "Sounds of Silence" is a good example of BothSidesHaveAPoint: On one hand, Quack isn't trying to bother Chirp, and Chirp's irritation at him is expressed unconstructively, as she yells at him inresponse to Quack's disruptions. But on the other hand, we're shown how Quack acts in a genuinely disruptive manner: Thus, ideally Chirp would learn to explain to Quack what the problem is instead of just lashing out, and Quack would learn to be more self-aware of when he's bothering her. The problem is that only Quack's side of the argument is validated. ''Chirp'' is shown as in the wrong for simply ''liking'' the peace that comes as a result of Quack deciding not to speak until Chirp begs him to-And even ''Peep'' is only shown as feeling sorry for Quack-when she lashes out at Quack in Part 2, it's him of all characters [[note]]Who is normally completely neutral in Chirp and Quack's arguments[[/note]] tells her she hurt Quack's feelings, and nobody ever once acknowledges that Quack's behavior, unintentional and InnocentlyInsensitive as it may be, is equally hurtful in its own way.

* SheCanReallyAct: Amanda Soha really manages to convey poor Chirp’s misery in part 2 “The Sounds of Silence”.

* DracoInLeatherPants: As mentioned below, Quack is well loved by the fandom, largely because he makes a lot of the shows funny moments by being a ditzy, self absorbed jerk. As a result of said humor, a lot of people gives him a passed for said jerkish/unsavory moments, particularly the part where his main schtick is vocally and sincerely [[FantasticRacism believing that his species (ducks) are superior]] [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything to all other species in every aspect]] and getting defensive/condescending when the other animals question this.

* {{Wangst}}:
** Quack often acts like this.

** In "The Sounds of Silence, part 2", [[OnlySaneMan Chirp]] of all characters goes into this, complaining that she doesn't want to walk through a puddle to the point that Quack has to carry her out of it. However, she’s far from unsympathetic in the episode.

* {{Moe}}: Peep. Just...''Peep.''

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Chirp in "Sounds of Silence" while she could have handled the Quack's interruptions ''a lot'' better, and would have minimized her own suffering as well, Quack was being genuinely obnoxious and as the robin equivalent as a five year old girl, she can be forgiven for having trouble clearly communicating her issues to him.

In other words, Quack gets to be annoying as he wants because Chirp needs him. In the end, everything's back to normal, but with Chirp struggling to tolerate Quack and Quack not accomodating Chirp in the slightest.
