History YMMV / WhatWouldYouDo

* RetroactiveRecognition: Some well known actors had appeared in some of the show's scenarios before they went on to star in popular TV shows and movies, such as Caleb [=McLaughlin=] (''Series/StrangerThings''), Creator/MegDonnelly (''Series/AmericanHousewife'', ''Film/Zombies2018'') and Creator/JessicaRothe (''Film/HappyDeathDay'').

* {{Anvilicious}}: In many cases, the case Aesop can be a bit preachy, but in just as many cases, SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped.

* InformedWrongness: A few of the marks are portrayed as being terrible for not standing up in the scenario, and while there are a few that [[ValuesDissonance truly deserve to be called out for it]], more than a few marks have completely understandable reasons for not stepping in.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32jBWpwb-SI One scenario]] had a woman unable to afford a promised toy for their kid for getting straight As in school. The marks that didn't step up are portrayed as bad because they thought the situation seemed extremely scam-y; however, most of the comments on said video don't blame the marks who thought it was a scam, as the way it was presented (the mother saying the kid could have anything he wants despite knowing they couldn't afford it, the large amount needed to make up the difference and how the mother got on her knees to tell the kid they couldn't afford it, while both are intentionally being loud enough to easily overhear) ''did'' kind of reek of being a scam.

* ValuesDissonance: The segment has been accused of playing out scenarios in such ways to get a specific response out of the marks, usually to try and line it up with the segment's own views. The most infamous case was when they tried to tackle the issue of adults still living with their parents; they played up the adult in question as an obnoxious, mooching ManChild so that the marks would sympathize with the parents. As many, ''many'' people dealing with the recession will attest, most people don't keep living with their parents because they're lazy; they continue to do so because with raising college rates, a dwindling and fiercely competitive job market and raising home rates, they don't have a choice in the matter when compared to alternative of living out on the streets as a hobo; all of which this segment conveniently ignored.

* HollywoodAtheist: One controversial scenario involved one yelling at a family for praying in a public restaurant. Most of the marks in the scenario proceeded to point out that while they were entitled to their beliefs, [[RealityEnsues so was the family in the restaurant and their attempts to berate them for disrupting their meal was far more disruptive than the family praying]].

* AlternateCharacterIbterpretation: Are the people who refuse to help being mean or are they (especially when the help would consist of giving money) afraid of being scammed? Also, have any of the people who did help figure out it was a show and were just trying to look good?

* {{Anvilicious}}: Many times the case Aesop can be bushy but in just as many cases, SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped.
* HollywoodPudgy: One scenario at a beach had a guy gripe at his wife for carrying too much baby weight for a bikini. The actress was quite pretty and rather skinny, which was the point the show was trying to make.

* HilariousInHindsight: One scenario had a boy display interest in toys for girls. Then ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' hit the airwaves...

* HollywoodPudgy: One scenario at a beach had a guy gripe at his wife for carrying too much baby weight for a bikini. You know, in spite of the fact that the actress was actually quite pretty and rather skinny, which was the point the show was trying to make.

* SlutShaming: In the episode where a teenage girl attempts to fill a birth control prescription. Everybody (including, eventually, the actress playing the girl) pretty much agrees that she should just wait to have sex. The problem with this, besides how horribly abstinence only sex-ed '''fails''', is that birth control is prescribed for many other things, including bad cramps, PCOS, endometriosis, and ''acne''.

* TearJerker: In one scenario, a [[TeenPregnancy pregnant teenager]] denies her unborn child to some expectant adoptive parents. While the actor playing the dad-to-be chases down the actress playing the teenager, two ladies approach the actress playing the sobbing mom-to-be. [[HeartwarmingMoments The women comfort her]], and one of the ladies says a prayer about motherhood - moving the actress, ''WWYD'' veteran Traci Hovel, [[EnforcedMethodActing to genuine tears]].
