History YMMV / PrepAndLanding

* HeReallyCanAct: Comedian Creator/RobRiggle is usually typecast as hard-ass military types because of his background in the Marines. While Noel is somewhat this type, he also has a wider range of emotions, especially at the climax during the snowball fight with Wayne.

** ''Naughty vs Nice'' tries to make Grace seem naughty so that she can redeem herself via helping the elves during the climax, but considering that the viewers never see this supposed naughty behavior, outside of her attempts to capture the elves, even in relation to her brother, who not only ripped up her favorite toy, but also prevented her from asking the mall Santa for a new, it's very hard not to sympathize with her being upset and agree with her reasoning that she's been labeled naughty unfairly.

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Wayne is supposed to be seen as a jerk for not doing his job and making Lanny do all the work. However, given that he has done the same job for 200 years and was passed over for a promotion by his previous partner that he trained, you can't blame him for not wanting do his job anymore.

* StrictlyFormula: In the first special, like ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}'' or ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}'', there's always a team of one naive person and one grouchy person who work together, the naive one overly excited and later calling out.
** OlderThanTheyThink: That just described a long-standing pairing in entertainment ''period''. That goes back beyond Vaudeville.

* UnfortunateImplications: In the sequel, "Naughty vs Nice", one of the qualifications to be on the naughty list is to have bad grades at school. For any tropers [[Tropers/SpiderFan14 like me]] who've struggled with school for one reason or another, this was not cool.
** They probably meant ''deliberate'' bad grades as in not really trying.
** Considering [[spoiler: Grace]] is a genius computer hacker able to figure out Elf technology, [[FridgeBrilliance this is probably what happened.]]
