YMMV / FC De Kampioenen

• Accidental Innuendo: A common source of humour in most episodes.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: The occasional guest character of DDT's mother turned out to be very popular with the viewers, which made that she even continued to turn up after her fictional son had left the series.
• Heartwarming Moments: The main underlying theme of the show is romance, and how it isn't always easy to stay in a relationship. Just about every main couple has their fair share of troubles, yet things always work out because they love eachother that damn much.
• Fridge Horror: It is no secret that Boma's sausages are of very low quality and because of that not adored by most people. It is not only implied that they taste awful, but the sausages cause many people to have stomach ache or diarrhea. It is often supposed that Boma uses rotten meat to fabricate the sausages, and in some episodes from the 90's he even says that he only uses "British beef" (During the BSE-crisis). In the episode 'Gele Limonade', it was proven that the sausages also contain lots of chemicals which cause them to undergo weird side effects when marinated in different kinds of alcoholic beverages (such as shrinking in lager beer, turning blue in red whine, and completely dissolving in heavy beer). The scariest part might be that many people still eat the sausages, in spite of their bad reputation, as Boma's company seems to run very well.
• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • In the episode De ster^note The Star from the first season, DDT makes a comment on TV stars who transfer to other television networks because of more lucrative contracts. Eight years later, DDT would leave the series due to his actor Jacques Vermeire making exact such a transfer from the public television to a commercial network.
  • In the episode Carmen BV^note "BV" is an acronym which stands for "Bekende Vlaming", which is a term used for Flemish celebrities, Carmen gets a job as a host on a quiz channel (In Flanders known as 'belspel') and she manages to keep this job in the subsequent episodes. The episode initially aired in December of 2010. Then in January of 2011, less than a month after the episode aired, quiz channels were legally banned from Flemish television because of fraudulent practices.
  • The fourth movie has a subplot in which Xavier is deeply shaken by the actually faked death of Boma and decides to work on filling out his bucket list. His actor, Johny Voners, would pass away only half a year after the film's release.
• Seasonal Rot: The first seasons of the series are generally considered to be qualitatively superior to the later seasons, mostly due to the evolution the series went through from a situation comedy with a subtle layer of drama to a point in which most of the series's humour derives from slapstick, predictible plots and the almost caricatural quirks of most characters, which almost all received a reasonable amount of Flanderisation.
• So Bad, It's Good: According to some, the reason the show enjoyed such long-time success is because it after a while stuck to superficially flimsy plots and predictable character writing.
• The Scrappy:
  • The character of BTW received generally bad reception of the audience, mostly because he had to act as a replacement for the immensely popular character of DDT. Due to his bad reception BTW himself got replaced after only two seasons, and the episodes that featured him were even taken out of the reruns for a few years.
  • Nowadays, the character is somewhat Vindicated by History and even got a cameo in the fourth movie.
• Unintentional Period Piece: The season 6 episode 'Mijnheer Constant' (1995), features Boma having a new mobile phone, which the others consider to be just a luxuary toy that is actually useless.
• Values Dissonance:
  • A lot of the earlier episodes were filmed with the 1990s and early 2000's-era TV watching Flemish audience in mind, resulting in a few racial and sexually-tinted plots that, while not overly racist or sexist, seem a bit stereotypical and dated for current audiences. Even some episodes that actively tackle an existing stereotype ("i.e. Women can't play soccer", or "black people are thieves") tend to be rather heavy-handed and on the nose.
  • Boma's derogatory behaviour against women is a good example, although the show tends to get a pass since it is almost exclusively depicted as a negative character trait.
  • In the episode Kamer te huur^note Room to Rent (2002) has become a very divisive example in recent years. The episode revolves around a black Cameroonian employee of Boma called Dieudonné who gets shelter in Pascale's house, but when Pascale, after some initial doubts, becomes very charmed by him, Boma becomes jealous and makes up a plan with Fernand to falsely frame Dieudonné for jewelry theft, which is initially believed until Dieudonné's innocence is proven. While the episode's plot thus actually tries to tackle racist prejudice against black people, it is done in a very Anvilicious way which involves using some racist jokes, puns and terminology along the way. When the public network took the episode out of syndication for these reasons, it sparked some debate in the Flemish pres as to wether this was justified or not.
  • The episode Kopzorgen^note Troubles (2005) is another divisive episode. It revolves around Billie faking to be gay to make his mother Doortje from chasing away all his girlfriends, knowing that Doortje would be slightly homophobic.
  • Even the third F.C. De Kampioenen movie from 2017 can be considered as this, due to it playing the Bulungi, Africa Is a Country and Darkest Africa tropes completely straight.
