* BlamingTheTools: Given the nature of the show, contestants do this all the time. Some of the flaws they accuse the tools of having are logical (if not actually present), but some of them... aren't.
--> '''Angela''': The saw doesn't like me.

* QuantumMechanicsCanDoAnything: Apparently, Keith thinks that "quantum physics" makes keeping fence post holes equally spaced and in a straight line unncessary.
-->'''Keith (explaining to an incredulously-staring Andrew)''': There is like… you know there’s that quantum physics idea, you know, quantum physics? Where you can randomly put things up and then they will establish their own order.

* HenpeckedHusband: Mostly these have been justified examples, given how bad the men on this show have generally proved to be at handiwork and finishing jobs, but the way that Darryl from Season 1 and Casey from Season 3 was treated by their respective wives went ''way'' beyond what you'd expect. On the other side, Matt in season 5 was constantly gaslighting Angela, when he wasn't actively sabotaging her.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: In the finale of season 6, Andrew prompts the judges to reconsider the worst (which would have been a runaway vote) after he asks this:
-->'''Andrew:''' If I have a carpentry problem, are you gonna call Ajay or Charlene?



* CatchPhrase: Season 6, Ajay would punctuate all of his finished projects "DONE!!"

to:

* CatchPhrase: CatchPhrase:
** "Read the instructions!" is repeated very often due to the bad handymen usually not doing that, setting them up for failure.

Added DiffLines:

* StayInTheKitchen: Angela's husband Matt in season 5 flat-out admits she should be cleaning the house instead, prompting a JawDrop in the background. Normally it would be justified because she tends to be out of her depth, but his general attitude towards her (and her only) and trying to force her to quit doing [=DIYs=] was insulting.
