History YMMV / TribeTwelve

--->'''Noah''': "All people do around here is just come and fish and it's just really boring."
--->'''Milo''': "I never saw the point in fishing. It's kinda boring."

--> '''"You fucked with Noah! Here I come, motherfucker!"'''

-->'''"OH MY GOD! IT'S MEEEEEEEE! NOAAAAAHHHHHH!"'''

--> ''"No, no! It can't be! No! No! It can't be! Th-that's, that's, that's impossible!"''

** In a meta sense, it’s very bizarre for ''HABIT'' of all people to be teaching Noah about the Rune of Severance, especially since the EMH crew has little to no connection to the symbol.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The main strength of WebVideo/TribeTwelve is the excellent Slender Manan effects. In darkness, in motion, with tentacles waving around, it always looks good.
** Taken up to eleven in ''Unknown Caller,'' which gives probably the best shot of Slender Man's tentacles of any series, with ''very'' fluid motion I might add. We don't get to see his main body, but [[RuleOfScary that arguably makes it scarier]].

** Nature Trail Visit was one of the Most Triumphant Example for this series. [[spoiler: No less than ''FIVE'' shots of Slendy with tentacles waving everywhere.]]

** [[spoiler:Sebastian's journal]] in Rendezvous. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Yes, really. It seems anything can have amazing visual effects.]] However, [[spoiler: what's in it [[TheUnreveal isn't]] [[JumpScare exactly]] [[SnowyScreenOfDeath German]] [[MindRape scripture...]]]]

** In DEATHTRAPEXODUS, Firebrand shows us a visual of Noah's (and to an extension, the creator's) house being submersed in a dark, black liquid, while telling Noah to "prepare for the flood." In 2017, that visual very nearly came true with Hurricane Irma hitting the area where Noah/Adam's house was located. Thankfully, it shifted from a Category 4 to a Category 2 very suddenly, but at the time, it made Firebrand's words seem ''very'' prophetic in a dark way.** Ember Malo's [[BadBadActing portrayal]] of the character isn't quite as cringeworthy anymore now that Milo's journal reveals the in-universe explanation for why he was acting so unnaturally: Milo was so terrified and determined to keep Noah safe from the Administrator's influence that he attempts to poorly hide it.

* HilariousInHindsight: When the Observer first revealed the existence of his fellow Collective members on Formspring, many people initially misread Mr. Scars as "Mrs. Cars", due to the Observer's notorious lack of spacing in his typing. Fast-forward to 2020, Mrs. Cars doesn't exactly sound as awful of a name after it came out Milo's former actor [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TribeTwelve/comments/jkmk4i/the_person_who_played_milo_is_trans_please_dont/ is now a trans woman]].

* DorkAge: The Fortunes Arc could be considered one. After seemingly hitting its stride around the end of Part 1, the series began losing viewers during the "Fortunes" arc of Part 2 due to the combined [[ArcFatigue lack of updates and story progress]] and Noah's increasingly apathetic, cynical, JerkAss attitude on Twitter (which, at the time, was the only form of audience interaction). To tide the audience over until he could resume making videos, Adam Rosner decided to focus on Milo's journal entries; this aspect of the story, while mostly well-received, wasn't nearly as well-liked as the blogs (and still didn't engender much audience interaction). Then, Rosner decided to add an ARG element...which could only be unlocked through [=PayPal=] donations. Viewers were ''not'' amused.

** Future Noah's ringtone in Sisyphus is a generic Apple ringtone that probably should suck this troper out of the Nightmare Fuel loop that the video has. But since it comes completely out of nowhere, and has heavy distortion to boot, it ends up sounding much more unnerving than one expects.

* AcceptableTargets: The Nazis are heavily involved in shaping up the lore of the series, and most references to them are understandably cast in a negative light.

** [[NightmareFuel HELLOTHERE]] has a visual style reminiscent of ''Film/AScannerDarkly''. [[spoiler: Slendy shows up in the last second of the video. Just to say "we are always watching you Noah".]] It is terrifying, as well as impressive.

** But most of all, [[spoiler:Milo.]] He attempts to keep Noah and his family safe by killing himself, only to [[spoiler:end up coming back to life horribly as Mr. Scars]] and [[spoiler:is forced to kill his own mother while under Slender Man's control.]] And to add onto things, he was forced to live a wretched life involving an abusive mother who forces him to take PhlebotinumPills to keep him from remembering things, being used as a tool for the nefarious objectives of a ReligionOfEvil, being stalked by Slender Man since the age of seven, and possibly being responsible for Kevin's transformation into the Observer. It makes it even more heartwarming that after all the shit he's been through, he's willing to help Noah stop Slender Man.

** In Severance, a bleeding man (later revealed to be [[WebVideo/MLAndersen0 Michael Andersen]]) randomly appears in HABIT's bathroom, coughing profusely as Noah looks on. Aside from Noah asking who it was and HABIT dismissing him, this bleeding man is never mentioned again. Apparently this scene was supposed to foreshadow a video on the MLA channel where HABIT tortures Michael in a bathtub, but Dylan Sindelar never uploaded it, causing the scene to become this.

* CompleteMonster: [[AbusiveParents Mary Asher]] is Milo's [[EvilMatriarch mother]] who was haunted by the Slender Man as a child and lived in fear of her future death. Once a member of the Slender Man-worshipping cult called the [[ReligionOfEvil Order]], she killed her two ex-husbands. The whole reason she had Milo in the first place was to [[HumanSacrifice sacrifice]] him to the Slender Man in her place; she also tried to conceive more children as [[OffingTheOffspring extra sacrifices]]. Milo's journal elaborates more on this; she groomed and indoctrinated Milo into the Order, having them drink his blood; would use drugs and {{gaslighting}} to try to keep him in line, using physically aggressive methods at the slightest resistance; she also self-harms to get Milo institutionalized and implies she will have his beloved cat put down to punish him for standing up to her. Her methods to kill her family include setting her sister's house on fire while her young nephew Noah was asleep, burning his babysitter alive; helped bomb and capsize a boat dozens of people were on, killing her mother and another young nephew of hers in the process. Mary [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist claims]] to be a victim trying to protect her family, but both Noah and Milo see right through her as a [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]] coward willing to sacrifice her family to ensure her own survival.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Northern Trip Footage was criticized as being a very dull crossover with ''WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID'', since the most that Noah and the HYBRIDS did was discuss their separate findings and how they tangentially related to each other, with only one Slender Man sighting appearing midway through the video. This was rectified with the multi-episode crossover with ''WebVideo/DarkHarvest'', where not only are the connections to both parties more clear, but the group has a run-in with the Order and Slender Man that was chock full of terrors. Later on, when EMH and and TT crossed over again in a two-parter, Noah gets to interact directly with HABIT and learn about Severance in the first half, and explore the Candleverse in the second half, thus proving the Iteration Theory to be true for EMH fans.

* IdiotPlot: So, your friend is in town, who you've not seen in months and won't see again for months. You've only got a few days to spend together. However, you have a real jonesin' for some Doritos. Naturally, you leave your friend (who's of course shown signs of being paranoid and possibly delusional) alone, at your house, with no mutual friends or family members to hang out with, rather than go to the store together. Oh and sure, leave him with your camera too.
** The Thanksgiving episodes are even stranger. For one thing, why is Noah spending Thanksgiving with a strange "fan" rather than his family? And why would any "fan" who watches his channel and sees the shit going on in his life EVER want to be anywhere near him? And why did she never bother to ask anything about the mysterious events in his life?
*** Him not visiting his family could be as simple as the fact that Noah is an adult and lives a decent distance away from his parents. No mention is made of any other close family (in terms of relationship or distance), so he probably didn't have any relatives to visit. As for visiting a fan, maybe she took pity on him and mistakenly thought there would be safety in numbers and distance, since Noah has only before had encounters when he was alone or with Milo in and around the park and his house.
** The Fortunes Arc. Noah's just been given a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech from [[Web/VideoEverymanHBRID HABIT]], who wants him to use Severance, and to start fighting against the beings who are tormenting him. And what's the first thing Noah does when he gets home? Lock himself in his house and avoid doing anything that looks even ''remotely'' close to progress, becoming a reclusive shut-in.

* ArcFatigue: The Fortunes arc became this in the eyes of some people by the series' end. Noah's trip to the Collective's dimension to retrieve Milo's journal happened way back in 2015, and we have yet to see the entirety of what he went through since. Combine Noah's lack of progress to escape the Boardwalk in each video, a significant amount of delay between updates (caused by RealLifeWritesThePlot) and Noah's newfound nihilistic attitude on Twitter that ultimately doesn't amount to anything important, a lot of fans are tired of waiting for the arc to conclude, and would prefer to see Noah make progress in the present-day to do what Firebrand has been telling him to do since 2012, which Noah has seemingly forgotten about since Bridge to Nowhere. With the series now unofficially finished, this arc is hated even more, due to it never coming to a proper cconclusion and feeling like a very, ''very'' long filler section.
