History Narm / OnceUponATime

* There are a couple of times in Season 6 when the Blue Fairy grows up to human size in the flashbacks. This means that all the problems with her dress become magnified. She looks even worse than usual next to her evil counterpart, Fiona the Black Fairy, who many agree has [[EvilIsSexy a much more stylish dress sense]] than all the other fairies combined.

* Tamara's magic taser (able to electrocute ''wood!'') has quickly become a joke among fans. [[WordOfGod The showrunners themselves]] have now said they [[CreatorBacklash wish they hadn't done it.]] The same goes for their Bracelet of Science that can block Regina's magic. Really, show? '''Really?'''
** [[SubvertedTrope Fans kind of jumped the gun on this.]] The revelation that Tamara and Greg's "communicator" was really a walky-talky toy that [[AWizardDidIt only worked because Peter Pan wanted it to]] makes it clear that [[FridgeBrilliance it's the same story with the taser and the bracelet]]. Greg and Tamara were naïve enough to believe it was WeirdScience that can defeat magic, when it actually was, in fact, magic itself.

* The Blind Witch, who is very much like the Pale Man from ''Film/PansLabyrinth'', should be absolutely terrifying. Except that she's played by [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer An]][[Creator/EmmaCaulfield ya]] and talks as if she's always orgasming.

* After so many neat twists on fairy tale and Disney canon, it's a bit silly to see Grand Pabbie from ''Frozen'' taken straight from the film. As in, it literally looks like the CGI model from the film was put directly into the live action footage. [[UncannyValley It's incredibly jarring]] and [[SpecialEffectsFailure clashes horrendously with the live actors in the scene.]]

* The Boob... er, ''Blue'' Fairy, along with a bunch of other fairies, making a bombing run with all the vigor and seriousness of an army. In their usual slippers and puffy glittery dresses. The 'bombs' are fairy dust that put the targets to sleep. Made possibly [[UpToEleven more Narm-y]] since it's shown alongside people fighting with swords and other weapons hacking each other to death.

* The moment [[TheWoobie poor Tinkerbell]] is [[TearJerker stripped of her wings, turning her from a cheerful, kind person who tries to help everyone to a bitter cynic]], is somewhat ruined by [[PantyShot her shiny green underwear]] being exposed as she faceplants into the ground.

* Emma's PerpetualFrowner expression just because hilarious after a while because it's like that's the only face she knows how to make - even her crying is just water spilling from her eyes and her lip wobbling a bit, making her seem like a robot. Not helped by her frequent DullSurprise line delivery.

* [[ArtifactAlias People regularly use the Curse Names rather than their actual names]] after the first Curse is broken. Sometimes this can make sense; anyone calling Grumpy 'Leroy' can be handwaved by the fact 'Grumpy' is a rather iffy name, while David is both Charming's curse name and his real name, so it works either way. But anytime anyone uses 'Mary Margaret' instead of Snow White just runs straight into this trope. It's made worse by the fact that Charming is the one who uses it the most despite the fact that he knew her FAR longer as Snow White (while others might have the excuse of knowing her for nearly 30 years under the curse, Charming was in a coma until a few months ago, but knew her for years prior), and the fact that when he ''does'' use 'Snow White', he often shortens it to just 'Snow', while any time anyone uses her Curse name it's ''always'' given in full, despite 'Mary Margaret' being a much bigger mouthful, something even she lampshades when encouraging Emma to call her 'Mom'. It doesn't help that 'Mary Margaret' is borderline UnfortunateNames given how wallflowerish it is.

* The ''WesternAnimation/Up'' sequence in "Beauty" in Season 7 reads as far more silly than the heartwarming original. It was so out of nowhere that it seemed like a setup for a dream sequence or part of the curse. The SpecialEffectsFailure of [[spoiler: Belle inconsistently aging]] didn't help matters.

She looks even worse than usual next to her evil counterpart, Fiona the Black Fairy, who many agree has [[EvilIsSexy a much more stylish dress sense]] than all the other fairies combined.

* There are also numerous jokes about Hook not getting modern pop culture gags. Some of them work, while others are incredibly forced - especially if they come during a dramatic moment. The worst one is a ''Film/StarWars'' reference while Henry and Hook are trapped in the Nautilus.
