Context YMMV / JonAndKatePlusEight

Go To

1* EnsembleDarkhorse: Due in part to the fact that he's the most recognizable of the sextuplets because he's the only one of them wearing glasses, Aaden has a pretty sizable fanbase.
2* HarsherInHindsight: ''Series/TheSoup'', for a while, was making hay with an AlternativeCharacterInterpretation of the show with Jon as a HenpeckedHusband to needlessly bossy Kate -- one skit took an argument over coupons and ended it with him [[DrivenToSuicide committing suicide]]. As it turns out, the marriage [[http://www.tvguide.com/News/Jon-Kate-Plus-1005820.aspx was indeed a miserable one]], and while ''The Soup'' is irreverent by nature and is still keeping up with the show, they joked in one episode that it's "just kind of sad now".
3* JerkassWoobie: Jon certainly engaged in some douchebag behavior of his own, but when one sees the kind of shit he had to put up with it's not at all surprising.
4* MemeticMutation: Due to her behavior and having the infamous "I like to speak to the manager" haircut, there are many memes with Kate as a Karen, [[ObnoxiousEntitledHousewife a middle class, middle aged white woman who is confrontational about trivial matters.]]
5%%* NightmareFuel: The show itself, especially for young couples starting their families.
6%%* TearJerker: Kate's interview prior to the last episode.
7%%* TheWoobie: The kids. All of them.
