History YMMV / TuckerAndDaleVsEvil

* TheWoobie: Dale.
** Mitch, [[spoiler: the college student who got himself stabbed by a branch]], can be this to some viewers because he's one of the more level headed students and [[spoiler: is still the first to die]].
** Chloe has some of this by the end. Having ended up a BloodSplatteredInnocent in a fairly graphic way, desperately wanting to leave several times but having been shot down by Chad, briefly thinking the situation is better (during a DumbassHasAPoint moment when she pints out to Jason how it looks like the others are sitting down and talking) and having a HeroicBSOD after accidentally [[spoiler: killing Jason]], followed by what may have been a [[spoiler: successful suicide]].

** Mitch, [[spoiler: the college student who got himself stabbed by a branch]], can be this to some viewers because he's one of the more level headed students and [[spoiler: is still the first to die]].

--> '''Tucker''': (Having just switched off the wood chipper after one of the kids jumped in it, with only his legs remaining) "You okay?"

** Plus, the situation ''had'' been largely defused (save Chad whose fuse was already gone) when a third party (the college kids who stayed outside "just in case") intervened without having been privy to the previous discussion.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: The CGI bee that lands on [[spoiler: an impaled and dying]] Mitch is pretty unconvincing.

** Allison has difficulty parsing the gravity of the situation around her. [[spoiler: Then again, she might just be in shock.]]
*** Or the [[RunningGag recurring]] [[TapOnTheHead head trauma]].
*** Or the [[OverlyLongGag recurring head trauma]].
*** [[RuleOfThree Or the recurring head trauma.]]

** [[spoiler: Mitch's death via tree branch, while initially funny, becomes quite disturbing for some with the following scene.]]

* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Chad]] crosses it when he [[spoiler:kidnaps Allison and straps her to a ConveyorBeltODoom.]]
** Also the Memorial Day Massacre obviously enough is this for the maniacal hillbillies.

* HoYay: While Dale and Tucker are apparently neither gay nor in a relationship, it is implied that they might be FriendsWithBenefits. After all, it is pointed out very clearly that their cabin is far off from civilisation, that they planned on going there alone... and that the cashier loudly reads out that they - along with tools for fixing the cabin - purchased lubricated condoms. Of course, the list does include odd items like menstrual pads, which, like condoms, have other utilities (such as serving as waterproof covers for firearms), so it's hard to pin it down definitively. Though it's not helped with lines like this happening in the same scene as the officer stopping them.
-->'''Tucker''': He's been strikin' out with the ladies, [[InnocentInnuendo I figure a little man-time might do him some good]].

* AngstWhatAngst: Allison doesn't seem all that broken up about all her friends being killed. Granted, they were pretty much all [[AssholeVictim assholes]].[[note]]Mitch is a possible exception.[[/note]]

* AlternateAesopInterpretation: On one level, the moral of the story is that PoorCommunicationKills... but this is challenged by the fact that the characters all literally sit down around a table to talk out their grievances and resolve the situation with reason, and it doesn't work at all. An alternate take is that [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop actually, some people just can't be reasoned with no matter how good your intentions are.]]

* FridgeHorror: after this exchange between Chloe and Naomi, it makes you think that [[spoiler: Chad]] brought them out there for a reason.
--> '''Naomi''': We never should've come her, I mean whose stupid idea was it to come out here anyway?
--> '''Chloe''': (Pause) [[spoiler: Chad!]]

** With all the references to rape and brutal murder sequences, the flashbacks showing the Memorial Day Massacre are rather out of place in such a light-hearted film, feeling more like one of Creator/WesCraven's [[Film/TheLastHouseOnTheLeft early]] [[Film/TheHillsHaveEyes1977 works]].

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The film, rather violently, drops one about prejudice and not letting you fears overwhelm your judgement.

Seeing that a lot happens that wasn't planned, they never did in the cabin what they intended to.
