Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: The in-game graphics and animations make the characters seem like poorly-made marionettes. Not helping is the constant switching between the poor models and stock footage from the live-action show.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:
** As Si's declared legally blind in "Spring Pong Cleaning", pretty much every time he's seen driving prior to that episode can become this, especially when he was teaching Sadie to drive. Less so when one reads his book, ''Si Cology'', which reveals he isn't blind and the scene in question was {{Kayfabe}}.
** In "Fowl Play", Jase tells Si to create a diversion by faking an illness or injury. He makes a joke about having a seizure- Jase's brother Jep would nearly die from having a seizure in a deer stand in October 2014.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: There is no outright dirty content in this show, but there are some suggestive comments- all about the married couples, of course. Phil and Kay are often uncomfortably open about their sexual habits. Specific examples are Korie saying there was another way to get what she wants, but she "saves that for special occassions"- with a wry smile. Jep tries to get "a little pat pat" from Jessica for building a sidewalk, and later in Scotland. It's clear he really means a little more than a "pat on the booty". And in the middle of Willie giving advice to John Luke on his upcoming marriage while playing golf, Jase is giving golf advice and tells John Luke not to hit the ball to far to one side or the other but keep it in the middle. Willie tells John Luke it's like marriage- "You gotta do what it takes to get it in the middle"!

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Not an actual example, but an explanation of the trope.

!! 2014 The Licensed Game:

* EnsembleDarkhorse: "Cousin" Beaux, an original character made exclusively for the game, got popular thanks to LetsPlay/ChipCheezum's playthrough, mainly due to his unintended mysteriousness (the RememberTheNewGuy attitude the Robertsons put on him, the fact that he has a voice actor while the real life John Luke doesn't, and the fact that when he drives away, there's always a loud crash sound heard once he vanishes from the player's field of vision; in one instance, checking his truck shows that he's not there at all, leading many to view him as a ghost).
* MostAnnoyingSound: Si's lip smacking noise in the second stealth mission. Not only do you have to hear it for a majority of the mission, but it sounded like it was done by somebody else.
* {{Padding}}: The plot is mainly centered around various hunting minigames and stealth sections that add nothing to what little story the game has, only serving to stretch the game's already short length.
* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: The game itself is a dull mess, with poor graphics, sluggish controls, and repetitive gameplay.
* ScrappyMechanic: Boat racing, mainly due to the sluggish controls, and the unfair RubberBandAI that could snag your victory away even if you've been in first place a majority of the race. Not helping is that it's one of the recurring parts of the game.
* UncannyValley: The in-game graphics and animations make the characters seem like poorly-made marionettes. Not helping is the constant switching between the poor models and stock footage from the live-action show.

* FridgeBrilliance: In "Jerky Boys", Phil takes Willie around his land to show which parts go to each of his sons. Willie is disappointed by the piece he will inherit, with a pipeline going through. Why would Phil give Willie the scrubbiest piece of land and make a point of showing it to him? Because Phil has already turned the Duck Commander business over to Willie, and wanted him to know that this meant his brothers would get better parts of his property to compensate and be fair to them.

* BrokenBase: Phil's suspension that came about at the end of 2013 after he stated his opinion on gays in an interview with GQ. Some felt the suspension was deserved because Phil made some rather unfortunate comments where he declared homosexuality to be sinful and "illogical". Others, particularly members of the show's large [[DeepSouth Southeastern USA]] fanbase (a part of the country known for usually being more conservative both politically and religiously), feel A&E are just covering their ass and that Phil should not be suspended for simply voicing his personal religious beliefs. And others still feel the interviewer deliberately asked those questions knowing what Phil's response would be.
